Epicureanism And Skepticism

I know I mentioned that my family and religion have influenced me tremendously, but those are not the only things that have impacted me. Through the experiences of talking to my friends about their relationships and learning from their experiences I became more educated. While answering the questions I did notice that some of the questions did not apply to me which I understood that there is so much more to understand and learn for me to grow as a person. That answering these questions helped me to understand how I became the person I am

I have discovered that I am gradually becoming a better person whether that academically or personal. I think that a person needs to know in essence what he or

I would definitely say philosophy has become a new way of living for me and affects my everyday life. I go more in depth with arguments and how it may be looked at from both sides of the conversation. I would also like to say that I have noticed that I am less bias towards may opinions and I am willing to look at it from the other side. For example, I looked at abortion from both sides of the topic of whether or not you are for or against abortion. When looking at it from a different perspective I have noticed that I am more willing to change my thoughts and ways of proceeding through my way of judging a

People’s opinions about God have been changing since the beginning of his existence. I am responsible for chapter two in James Collin’s book “God in Modern philosophy”. The title of my chapter, “The Skeptical Assault Upon the Knowledge of God”, says a great deal about how the idea of God has evolved over time, and it also helps to show how people think of God today. Danielou states in chapter two, “…I shall not attempt to prove that there is a good and bad use of philosophy, that there is a false god of the philosophers, and yet also a true philosophy of God” (45). Danielou’s idea of the two different philosophies of God is supported by Collins in chapter two because he provides examples of the different types of philosophies that are present today. When it comes to how people think of God today, we

Learning about disability issues has broadened my previous knowledge, and finally I understand the social model of disability and comprehend the history of people with disabilities compared to when I was in school we touched upon it but never went into depth.

My learning has been enhanced by beginning to understand the complexities and angles of policy change which I believe will bode well in my future

learned many new things about myself. This time also helped me gain insight on the true

I have learned more about myself by exposing myself to different experiences. By doing so, my implicit biases, stereotypes and prejudices toward other groups have changed. I have found myself stepping out of my normal routines, which has given me a better understanding of people who are different from me and have led me to see how the stereotypes I had come to be. I have also learned more about myself by keeping those biases that I have in mind and taking the proper steps to correct them. Also I have learned that I must create change when working with or being around diverse groups.

changed my point of view on my education. It has helped me realize that my education is relevant

I also learnt i must take more time out for me rather than trying to solve problems that are not mine,

I have learned that I understand people more by listening to their ideas and perspectives. This has happened in different ways at school. When we were having a discussion about the elections and some people said they would feel safer and happier if Trump won I saw how they had a right to their opinions. The lesson about war propaganda also taught me to consider others’ perspectives. This is also true in my life outside of school. I don’t necessarily believe in God but I go and listen to others’ perspectives without criticizing

First, the resurrection appearance was demonstrated in 1 Corinthians 15: 3-5. Paul in this text quoted the all which he had received and passed on to his followers. According to Galatians 1:18 Paul was in Jerusalem three years after his conversion, during which he became acquainted with Peter and James for fifteen days. It is difficult to dismiss these occurrences and to deny that they even transpired. Paul's information makes clear that various individuals, in fact, saw Jesus alive from the dead. There must be an admission that skepticism concerning the appearance of traditional gospel continues to persist. For some, skepticism appears to be unjustified. But, the underlying traditions of the resurrection is reliable due to the historical

Critical thought and popular culture taught me a lot about who I am. These realizations came from class discussions, learning my strengths, and even a little bit from reading Unlikely Disciple. For one, I didn’t know my strengths so that was super interesting and eye

My personal ethic comes very naturally. I have not spent a lot of time thinking about it before this assignment. I would have to say that my Mom and Grandmother are the ones who influenced my ethical theory the most. Retired football coach Lou Holtz once stated, Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated. (Hotlz, 2006) I think this quote sums up my highest good or ideal. I strive to do right, do my best and treat others as I want to be treated in everything I set out to do. I think I have been very successful in carrying this out and I hope I have influenced others to do the same.

Having skepticism is a sign of precaution, when receiving information for any source of media, companies and individual one should investigate the data. Comparing and contrasting the information will reveal if the information given is exact or with a personal bias. A person agenda varies, it relies on who and what is expecting from the data given. Research is inevitable to ensure one is receiving accurate information. Pedro, you presented a great analogy regarding statistic information.
