In your response, make sure to explain in what sense I am responsible for all of humanity. That is, if it is through choice and action that I create value, in what sense do I choose and create value for all of humankind? Does Sartre mean that I should be constantly thinking about the rest of humanity when making every little choice? Why or why not? Use at least one example of your own to clarify Sartre’s point.

[Note: it is absolutely crucial that in responding to the above prompt, you remember Sartre’s insistence that there is no pre-established set of values — so be careful not to assume a pre-given notion of good/ bad or right/ wrong.
