A Better Quality Of Life For All People
John Locke's expression, "life, liberty, and property," rings as complete when I consider what rights I believe every human should have equal access to. There is something about those three elements, the right to life, the right to freedom, and the right to assets, that it seems make up a superior quality of life, and that I believe every person has a right to experience. I believe that many things like hunger, poverty, and stealing would be practically nonexistent if these three rights were upheld no matter what, and could not be taken away - probably a pretty peaceful world.
Currently, the standards of quality of life are regulated mostly by organizations and governments that only "give" fractions of the above three things. It could be that someone can obtain land, assets, and real estate, but owes a tax on that property every year. In many cases across the world today, the right to life is seemingly given, only to be belittled by rules on sexual orientation or religious belief.
I believe that quality of life should be measured by John Locke's philosophy of every person having the right to life, to liberty, and to the pursuit of property. If that ethic was coupled with a general understanding that a purchase, sale, or trade can only happen by mutual agreement, then it would take care of the concern that "too much" liberty could potentially be destructive - especially if further understood that no one person can ruin or thwart the life, liberty, and property of another individual. Further clarifying the standard this way I believe could imply that quality of life for everyone would be drastically enhanced.
What can possibly be done to shift the world in that direction and better the living standards for everyone? First, I believe tribute can be given to the John Lockes and Ghandis of the world. In addition, there are individuals, companies, and groups that actively further better quality of life by exploring ethics, self-esteem, and the roots of issues we face in humanity today.
