Philosophy Statements

Please browse others' philosophy statements and post your own before class on Friday. Keep the following in mind:

1. You are welcome to use one of the five statements from class, but you probably want to adapt it a bit to really fit what you believe to be true.

2. You do not need to use the five philosophy statements if they don't express any of your beliefs. Feel free to develop your own or to use a quotation that you think fits your personal outlook.

3. Remember that this is only a draft; you will probably revise and refine it throughout the semester.

Have fun!

Philosophy Statement: It's human nature to use a scapegoat to save your own skin.

Personal Philosophy Statement: “People who do good things, can still be bad people”
It’s called assumption. Such as John Proctor. My first assumption that since John Proctor worked for god, that he would be on the good side, and would do everything right. But the significant point, is that he turns evil.

For my philosophy statement i was thinking either:
-Pride comes before a fall.
OR something with morals.
-Morals (right and wrong) are subjective.
-If you have nothing your willing to die for then you have nothing worth living for.

my Philosophy Statement

"The greatest Element is the Human Element."

It is human nature to be either a leader or a follower; There are those who persist and show conviction that what they believe is true and just, and there are those that agree with the word of others for their need is to know that what they know is true.

Philosophy Statement: It is not uncommon or unecessary for a society to use a scapegoat in order to function on a better level.

blakeh said...

Time is a gift. A neglected gift at that matter. All three elements of time rely upon one another. It is an egregious monster that consumes us all but a kind loving ally. If human nature tends to do nothing but time time itself, it slips through their fingers.

Philosophy Statement: "You should defend your friends no matter what, even if it means dieing for them." I chose this statement because I like the idea of making the ultimate sacrifice for someone you truly love.
