Answer to Question #253206 in Sociology for mavin

Question

You must explain Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism to an (imaginary) six-year-old child. This will be a written assessment, with a word count of 400-500 words (do not exceed the word count). You must "dumb-down" the concept and explain it as simple and clear as possible. Do not use “big” words or jargon as a six-year-old child will not understand it. No references are needed as it must be in a narrative format.

Answer 1

Sartre's hypothesis of existentialism expresses that "presence goes before substance", that is simply by existing and acting a specific way do we offer importance to our lives. As per Sartre, every decision we make characterizes us while simultaneously uncovering to us what we figure a person should be.It is established in inquiries of presence and being, because of its existentialist establishment. Opportunity saturates each part of the human condition, on the grounds that for Sartre, presence is opportunity. Each individual has a decision and it is this decision that describes every individual's being.Sartre had faith in the fundamental opportunity of people, and he likewise accepted that as free creatures, individuals are liable for all components of themselves, their cognizance, and their activities. That is, with complete opportunity comes all out liability.
