Question

Sartre said that we should not take people’s circumstances into account when judging what they have accomplished in life. Do you agree or disagree? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Answer 1

I disagree because some people have more opportunities in life than others and, for this reason, they have the chance to accomplish more.

For instance, a child born in a developing country would probably have less chances in his/her life for education and consequently less job opportunities than a child born in the Western world. Also, in the Western world, two people may have different education opportunities because one is raised by a rich family and the other is raised by a poor one.  

Sometimes circumstances are unfair and so we shouldn't compare the accomplishments of two people without considering their circumstances.
