What people die for is generally inversely proportionate of what people think their lives are worth. For example, a person might think that their life is very important, therefore he might consider very few things to die for.
Using the same concept, If I just go to my job, do my work, come home and watch tv, and repeat this cycle for the rest of my life, I'm not really making society or mankind move forward, so for me, I would basically give my life for anything that would move society forward, be it a revolution or a scientific discovery etc.
However, lets say I become a leader of some revolution, and make good progress, I wouldn't give my life because now people depend on me, and therefore would expect some other people to give their lives for a good cause.
Just my two cents, hope it made sense.
