“The idea that I am born into a particular time, place, family, and

economic environment is absurd.”
Everybody is born into a specific home and family. Some are born into wealth while others are born into poverty and despair. The statement above is what defines parenthood. A soon to be mom or dad will strive to make his or her offspring’s future the best it can be. At times the family, time, and economic environment of birth are definite, but that is what growing up and experiencing life is about. Being born into a royal family in Britain will be a different life of someone who is born in an African village.
“In life, I must make choices regardless of what’s best for others. I can

only choose what’s best for me.”
I completely disagree. Life is all about the sacrifices you make for others. If everyone chose what was best for them the world would be a very cruel place to live in. A quick scenario would be a child lost in a mall, I am in the mall but I have to make the bus home or ill be late. According to the statement above I should ignore the helpless child and head for the bus but where would that leave the child? Humans chose to help each other every day and that’s how close knit communities are formed. If everyone made selfish choices then there would be no communities or even neighbors.
