blog# 9 Nussbaum

The central human functional capabilities can be summarizes as Nussbaum stated on his easy “The Central Human Capabilities” which are the following life, bodily health, integrity, senses, imagination, thought, emotion, practical, affiliation, share life with other species, and control over one’s environment. If anyone take a look and think about those capabilities that Nussbaum mentioned, it will not be hard to agree with hem because we all done these functions but for most of the time we do not stop and think about every single thing we do. From those human capabilities some of them are so basic that they do not need an explanation like life, health, imagination, thought, share life with other species and senses. We all know and practice those capabilities on our every day life and we have done each one of them. On the other hand some of those capabilities are not common or well-known to every one of us and there is a need for explaining or talk about them, there for I will try to clarify the once that are in need to explanations. For example integrity; why do need integrity? Integrity is honesty therefore if we do not have honesty on our life every thing will be destroy because without honesty no one will do his or her job and that included teachers doctors and everyone else. And the most important thing that all human do is the environmental adaption which means that humans adapt to different environments for instance the pupils of your eyes dilate when you walk into a dark room.
