Philosophy of life

Module Two: Assignment Two Throughout your life, you began to realize the importance of many things that help you distinguish between right and wrong. Also, values can be learned or established from society, family, friends, and personal experience. Values guide the path you live. “Personal Values are the internal rudder by which you steer your life” (Harley-McClaskey, 2017, p.23). There are many values that individuals have, but here are five of my personal values: religion, honesty, family, teamwork

redemptive purpose in their predicament; nor any benevolent deity or greater power who will answer their appeals for salvation. Nature stands as indifferent to mankind as surely as man clings to the preciousness of his fragile, yet all-encompassing, life. The rules that govern reality seem incomprehensible and are incomparable to man’s rules of justice and meaning. While man may turn to his fellow man for help in the struggle for survival and meaning, in the final confrontation with nature and death

Life is resplendent yet it’s not a bed of roses. Though it’s repleted with abundances of highs and lows, it has many facets of benedictions and accomplishments. There are two types of people in this world, one, who consider life as arduous and merciless. These sets of people live life as a punishment, often known as a life without principles. They lose every sense of direction and their elusion to authenticity gets disoriented in the process. On the other hand, there are those who view life as a

An ideal society is one that is driven by dreams, one that is determined to work towards goals and in turn are happy. Even happy with not being perfect, but rather good. An ideal society would be united and have, as cliche as it may sound, world peace. A society where we can realize we are all dependent on each other and would be without injustice. A society that always shows love to everyone and questions values. An ideal society would be run with a government that is not as we know it now, but

Consider how you see your future career "The judge has made his decision, the accused has been found guilty." These are the words that one day I will finally hear. My future goal is to be a lawyer. A lawyer is a professional person authorized to practice law. They defend or prosecute people for the crimes they have committed. (dictionary.com) I am very out spoken and believe in fighting for what I want or think is right. Being a lawyer means that there are many responsibilities to carry out. It

Virginia Woolf is also able to emotionally engage readers in her essay “Death of a Moth” by depicting the real struggle between life and death with a Moth’s struggle for survival that ultimately ends with death. With her implementation of rhetorical devices, she’s able to provoke a sense of pity and emotional connection towards the animal. By looking at Woolf’s essay through Leopold’s

As we discussed in this class values are “specific elements of desirability, worth, importance, or whatever a group or person feels is important” (09.26.17). The personal values that I have chosen to discuss for this paper are autonomy, kindness, honesty, and happiness. If I were to list these values from highest importance to least, it would begin with happiness, followed by kindness, honesty and lastly autonomy. There are different types of values which are intrinsic and non-intrinsic. Intrinsic

ourselves with our passions and chase after material goods. We distract ourselves with the chase to subside fear of the unknown. Because the universe does not define us or offer a set of guidelines to do so, we often define ourselves by the aspects of life that displace us furthest from having to engage with knowing that our purpose can never be absolutely identified. In this essay, I will support Pascal’s account of human nature by arguing that we are motivated to find meaning and purpose and do so

activities taught us life skills that we can apply in our life. For example, some of the activities included learning to do or determine our SMART goals, long term goals, skills/strengths, values and making decisions based on them, pathways to our potential career/education. Therefore, what we learned as a group with Mrs. Warren was how to apply those life skills taught in everyday life, How we would reach point A to point B, and learn more about ourselves as people. Throughout my life I have always

the death of his father and the remarrying of his mother. At this point, for Hamlet, the questions start pouring in; “to be or not to be” (Hamlet 3.1.57), and so on. From questioning his existence and fighting with himself about the purpose of his life begins to show the beginnings of the existential crisis that is soon to consume him. Also, this
