Examples Of Intentions In The Other Wes Moore

• According to Gutierrez (Appendix), “Regardless if, in your own human thinking, you rationalize that His way will not work out for the best, you need to at the outset purpose in your heart to…” Be able to complete the sentence.

Abraham Maslow’s meaning of self actualization is one to reach his full potential or of one’s true self. From a humanistic standpoint, Claire’s

In some cases though, that’s not always true. Ender’s Game, a science-fiction book by Orson Scott Card, extremely contradicts it. The main character, Ender is manipulated into many terrible actions, while he has good morales and never intended to do these terrible things. He is portrayed as a good kids and one of the underlying themes convey that intentions mean everything, not the action. This has caused many controversial debates with many different views. For example, John Kessel has written a critical essay, Creating the Innocent Killer, about Ender’s game. Kessel’s essay works on all angles of Ender’s morality. The good

Philippa Foot, a philosopher, argued that moral judgments have a rational basis. The choices we make in our lives are based on a number of varying and different factors. Theories such as the principle of double effect are meant to back up the choices we make in society. The doctrine of the double effect relies strongly on the difference between what a person “foresees” as an outcome of their individual actions, and what they actually intended the outcome to be (Timmons, 2012, p. 93). This theory refers to two very identifiable results. The first, is that the action may produce the “one aimed at”, and second, “the one foreseen but in no way desired.” Foot further explains that “oblique intention” and “direct intention” are often determining factors in the principle of double effect. Through oblique intention, a person brings about an effect that was unintended and through direct intention a person brings about an effect intentionally (Timmons, 2012, p. 94).

This will to meaning is the culmination of our developmental process. To cultivate an individual’s capacity to find meaning in their life is the greatest goal, and the source of mankind’s anxiety and neuroses. We all wish to find the meaning within our life, and are unfulfilled when we miss the mark. But according to Frankl, there is always meaning in life, in every single moment, from one to the next we all are capable of making a choice about ourselves, and beyond that, have a responsibility to do so. Even with the transitory nature of our existence and hopelessness in the face of certain death, there is still meaning to be found, there is still freedom to be earned.

Intention – Intention represent motivational components of a behavior, that is, the degree of conscious effort that a person will exert in order to perform a behavior (Ajzen, 1991, p.201).

We’re all familiar with 'setting goals'. About who you want to be; who you want to be with. We've all lusted after something, or someone. We've all hoped for something, aspired

of achieving our purpose in life can be a daunting but awarding task. Christopher McCandless

Destiny, a word most people hear when speaking of love, life and death. This seven letter word is given too much power. What is it that convinces people that they are meant for something rather than their actions being the cause of any mishap or excitement in life. People have the power to do what they want so long as they are willing to sacrifice opportunities and relationships in order to reach their goal. This statement can be thoroughly and strongly proven through three astounding pieces of writing, The Iraq War Blog a nonfiction article written by Faiza Al-Araji and “Invictus” a poem by William Ernest Henley and Into the Wild a nonfiction novel written by Jon(Jack) Krakauer.

Recalling what was stated in chapter one of this manifesto, intentions were the main theme of this chapter, and it ended on a famous quote that reads, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Again, this statement has always held true throughout recorded history, what with American expansionism in the nineteenth century and the crusades between Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. Fundamentally, it is in human nature to initially start with good

When he talks about goals, I realize that many times people set goals not for themselves, but for other people. When I say this, I mean that people will go certain lengths to get the approval of others, instead of finding their passion. Hunter states that some goals may change throughout our lives, being in some ways useless, however I see them as temporary obstacles

There is a very popular saying in American culture that tells people to “learn from their mistakes”. In the case of humans finding their identities and realizing what their purpose is, mistakes are a good place to start looking. Evidence of this lies in The Stranger, where Meursault differed from everyone around him by taking of interest in all in bettering his life. Throughout the entirety of The Stranger, Meursault was given several opportunities to make a better life for himself, and rejected all of them, and though he did not see said rejected as a mistake, it most assuredly was. When his boss mentioned he was opening a business office in Paris and offered Meursault a job there, Meursault denied the offer, stating that “people never change their lives, that in any case one life was as good

I believe that human being’s all have an underlining purpose in life and it is within their nature to realize their potential and fulfill their goals. Human beings are driven to seek wholeness in their lives and that will always be a continuing journey for most humans. Humans adapt to life’s changes as they encounter various challenges. How one handles those various situations; will directly affect their behavior and personality. I believe humans are capable of dictating the outcome of their destiny.

But also in the book it discusses how people do not agree with creating one’s own purpose. They think that if they create their own purpose, then that means that their life meaning is not as meaningful. I do agree with this to some extent but I also think that we know ourselves the best and if we create our own life meaning it can be the most fulfilling. A quote from this chapter is, “What matters is not necessarily what the inventor had in mind, but the uses or purposes the innovation actually has” (p.12). This quote is saying that for example the predetermined meaning of humans is not really important at all. It is what purposes a human can bring about in this world.

In Gilbert’s (2009) paper, Shared Intention and Personal Intentions, she had given a clear statement about shared intention that it is an action acted by agents together as a body in the future plans. The first step to share intention is to have an agreement between agents. They usually shared their intention literally and expressed by a shared intention sentences of form “We intend to do A”, “We are going to do A”, and so on. They may also use the sentences of form like “We intend that...” to show their shared intention on thought. In some cases, a future-directed shared intention can be arose without any agreement between agents. For example, Liam and Gary plan to go to supermarket together. Liam said “Let’s go to supermarket together this afternoon.” Gary replied “Sure. Our fridge is out of food.” In this
