Why do people sacrifice things for others?

User Avatar

Asked by EdenCunningham

Sacrifice originally means to give up something for something better, or sacred. To sacrifice something for someone would essentially be giving up one thing for something better. So if you sacrifice not going to a football game to spend time with your family essentially that would be giving up a moment of happiness to forge a lasting family connection and quality time with people that love you. But some times the thing you sacrifice can be for something worse if its for the wrong person or reasons.

What is omission and commission?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Omission is not performing an act that is usually done or expected to be performed by a 'normal' person. LIke stopping at a scene of a traffic accident if you are a medical professional to assist, or not stopping if you are the first person, which is a crime. Commission is performing an act that results in some harm. Like, giving too much of a medication or too much oxgen or any other act that another. Think of it as omit vs commit. Unfortunately, from a legal standpoint, one is more liable of omission. Doing something unless it is blatantly wrong is not as liable.
