Remake of "Omelas": Do the needs of many outweigh the needs of a few? by Jamie Hammon https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc Was Spock right when he said that a just civilization should consider the greater good of the society over the well-being of a few? en-us 2021-09-14 19:40:13 UTC 2021-09-15 17:09:55 UTC hello@padlet.com isabehill https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743437821 i feel like it really depends on the circumstances. what are the needs of many, are they really needs?]]> 2021-09-15 16:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743437821 My first thought was to say no, but I think it depends on the situation and suveraity of the needs. As for the omelas story I don't agree that one child should be suffering for everyone else https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743446710 2021-09-15 17:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743446710 angelmarti https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743448213 It honestly depends on the situation. Right away I would want to say no, that the needs of many outweigh the needs of a few. But I think I would need to know how serious the situation is in order to make a definite decision. ]]> 2021-09-15 17:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743448213 https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743448664 In general I'd say the needs of the many should outweight the needs of the few. If we are always focussing on the weakest link than it becomes harder to progress as a people as a whole]]> 2021-09-15 17:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743448664 It is kind of tricky and honestly depends on what it is, you could argue either way. https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743451023 2021-09-15 17:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743451023 the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few under certain circumstances and especially depending on how many are in "the few" and how many are in "the many" https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743452435 2021-09-15 17:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743452435 https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743458694 It really depends. In our society, I would say yes. The needs of the 99% outweigh the 1%]]> 2021-09-15 17:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743458694 it depends i cant decide of what to think https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743472806 2021-09-15 17:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jhammon1/1h3k0nsllb5ssbkc/wish/1743472806
