How much more importaint is the life of a citizen of your country then of a random country?

Also state what country you are from.





a) The citizen of the random country is worth more


b) Both lives are equal


c) The citizen of my country is 1.1-10.0 times more important


d) More then 10 times as important





Doesn't this question sound silly?

How much more importaint is the life of a citizen of your country then of a random country?
i'm from the U.S.A. and my answer is b and it's not silly


peace
Reply:Yes; i agree with you that this question is silly(and therefore





some of ur answerers are mistaken,too).


But to get back t ur


main and more fundamental Q; And i think its a ressonable


one but quite easy to answer. For most groups and probably


individuals too would say that "their own" would be more


important; Even though they likely have not even met the


majority of their own and not met any of a randomly selected


country; for they think and expect their own citizens to be like


themselves,mistakenly,of course.


And so to the silliness-sounding of the question.


One further point though.


Randomness is a quite unique quality, and can be very useful


and important in helping groups and organisations choose


an individual, in a fair and of course a democratic way-as


long as the lottery is not rigged or weighted!


Possibly the original question setter was aiming at some same kind-of comparison,albeit it with a likely mistaken view of one citizen's knowledge of his/her fellow citizens importance.
Reply:Not even a weight of a mustard seed more important. So my answer is "b. Both are equal"





Religious people will say, we are all equal. We all came from Adam and Eve. Therefore in the eye of God, we are all His children. Therefore their answer will be "B"





People who have brains in their craniums will say, we are all equal. We are human beings breathing the same air. Therefore, their answer will be "B"





Any other answer is in my mind indicative of:





1. Arrogance.


2. Ignorance.


3. Selfishness.





If I sound judgemental, then be it.





I am Egyptian.





Good question!
Reply:B)


U.S.


Yes it is silly.
Reply:I'm from the US. And I agree with b) because people are people, no matter where they're from.
Reply:What is a random county? Could it be one that came about randomly?
Reply:d - USA


Because it is me and mine.


not so silly.
Reply:(b)





Born %26amp; raised in the U.S.A.





I don't really think the question sounds silly.
