defining a person
Defining a person may seem easy but history is full of examples where certain groups of people have been considered
less
than human by other people in
power
.
This has led to abuses such as slavery, the Holocaust, discrimination, genocide, and abortionSlide4
To truly know what something is, we must define it objectively, independent of feelings or beliefs.How would you define a person?1.
appearance2. powers3. conditions
4.
final goal
defining a
personSlide5
Human Personhood 1
Personhood depends on appearance
A person is defined as a physical, material being who is meant to enjoy pleasure and avoid pain.
If someone does not look a certain way, or lacks certain physical functions, we may think he or she is not a person.Slide6
Personhood depends on ability to achieve
In order to be fully human, a person has to have the potential to achieve all, or at least some of these subjective things.What about the personhood of the unborn, the elderly, the disabled, the socially marginalized, the poor, and others invulnerable populations?
Human Personhood 2Slide7
Personhood depends on the potential to give and receive love.
The unborn, the elderly, the disabled etc., are all people because they all have the potential to participate in love.Without definition 3 we miss out on the unconditional worth and dignity of human persons.
Human Personhood 3Slide8
Personhood is recognized in all humans because we are made in God’s image.
Level 4
understands the meaning of human life as union with the unconditional love of God. Therefore, any being who can ultimately recognize and receive the unconditional love of God is a person.
Since all human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, and created for His unconditional love, all human beings are human persons.
Human Personhood 4Slide9
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Genesis 1:26-27
This means people
are
reflections
of God.
In humans, something of God himself can be seen. We have a soul which lives on after the body has died.
We
are special and different from other species.Slide10
Sanctity of Life
God makes and loves each person, so everyone has value: unborn, elderly, healthy, ill, useful members of society or in need of care.
Life is a gift from God.
Therefore life should be preserved at all stages – from
conception
to
natural
endSlide11
Life is a gift
from God
This means we have a responsibility to take care of ourselves.
We should do something useful with our lives, not just waste it, and we should take care of our own health and other people’s.

devalue

How do Our song lyrics devalue Life? Pumped Up kicks
Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room
He won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth
He's a cowboy kid
Yeah, he found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet hidden in a box of fun things
And I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for youAll the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my
bullet
Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
Because dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice
I've waited for a long time
Yeah, the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
And say your hair's on fire
You must have lost your wits, yeah
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Lyrics that Promote
Life:
When We stand together
One more depending on a prayer
And
we all look away
People
pretending everywhere
It's
just another day
There's
bullets flying through the air
And
they still carry on
We
watch it happen over there
And
then just turn it off
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We
must stand together
Hey
, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's
no giving in
Hey
, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand
in hand forever
Hey
, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's
when we all win
[
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's
, that's, that's when we all win
The
right thing to guide us
Is
right here inside us
No
one can divide us
When
the light is nearly gone
But
just like a heartbeat The drumbeat carries on And the drumbeat carries on Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We
must stand together
Hey
, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah Hand in hand forever Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah That's when we all win Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah That's, that's, that's when we all win That's, that's, that's when we all win
They tell us everything's alright And we just go along How can we fall asleep at night When something's clearly wrong When we could feed a starving world With what we throw away But all we serve are empty words That always taste the sameHey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah We must stand together Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah There's no giving in Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah Hand in hand forever Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah That's when we all win Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah That's, that's, that's when we all win That's, that's, that's when we all win
