Being Human in The Cold Equations by Tom Godwin

For most people this means that it is a human being, this means that you are at the top of the food chain or you can make your own choice. People all over the world have something in common. We must all observe the laws of nature and we have prejudices, stereotypes, and double criteria. In Tom Godwin's "cold equation", humans are simply conveyed as human race, and the author shows commonality that makes each one of us humans. First of all, everyone must comply with universal natural law.

Ethical dilemmas are decisions between two alternatives that are morally right but contradict one another. In Tom Godwin's "cold equation", Burton is a star pilot supplying drugs to the Wardens to save the lives of six people. Efforts are being made to solve this problem. Godwin expresses the theme of ethical decision making with a short story using the tone and emotion of literary elements. In Godwin's short story "Cold Equation", the overall theme is a moral dilemma.

He is a great science fiction writer, but Tom Godwin (1915-1980) has not much life. Throughout his life he wrote three novels and 30 short stories, including his fourth novel "cold equation".

Her life is a lifetime. If the pilot does not comply with the law or "equation", the lives of eight people, including himself, will be lost. We need to sacrifice
