this a true statement? If so, in what sense do you think it is
true? Which do you think is the truer statement: "I have a right to a living," or "I have a right to earn a living"? Discuss the difference. A thief has been known to say, "I was brought into the world without my own consent; therefore the world owes me a living, and I owe the world nothing." Is this good argument? Did the people upon whom he depends for a living have any more to say about their being brought into the world than he had? What things are you using to-day that were not provided for you by others? If a stranger should come to your community to-day to live, what are some of the things that he would find already provided by the community for his use in making a living? Name five important inventions and state what they have done for you. Would you say that the world owes Thomas A. Edison and Luther Burbank a living? Why? How are you indebted for your living to the pioneers who settled your state? to Robert Fulton? to the men who built the first transcontinental railroad? |
