It is said that all things happen for a reason, a season or a lifetime, but is it true? The thought of our lives being predetermined alone is enough to have everyone wondering, do things truly happen for a reason or is our life nothing more than “meaningless accidents” or “coincidences” that decides our consequences and accomplishments”? The movie Serendipity thoroughly explores that concept through a series of events that occur between two characters that proves that there are certain events in our life that are inevitable because they are supposed to happen. In the movie Serendipity, Johnathan and Sara coincidentlly met each other while buying the same cashmere gloves for their boyfriend and girlfriend as a Christmas gift. They causally talked another person from buying them and from that moment on were hooked to one …show more content…
He believed that it was a sign that he was supposed to get married, he said “Maybe the absence of a sign is a sign” but who is to say that it was a sign? Anything could be considered a sign if looked at from any perspective. According to the article Fate vs. Freewill: How to Fulfill Your Life’s Purpose by Dena Botbyl explains “The universe is constantly sending us signs. We must choose to acknowledge those signs, accept them, and take action” (Botbyl). Whether the signs of our fate are true or not they are not always left to us decide. Some people believe that our life is governed by God, or some sort of Supreme Being that ultimately decides what happens to us during our life. When she walked out of his life after that one night they spent together could have easily been a sign that it was not meant to be, but something inside of him told him not to give up, hearing her name several times and occasionally running into that book with her phone number in it triggered him to make impulsive decisions regarding his
Money, riches, power, and fame are not true happiness. In life I learned that true happiness cannot be bought with those things. True happiness is what truly makes you happy. I have learned these things from celebrities, also from viewing people that I know. By viewing the lives of these people you can tell that they are not happy with their lives. Because they are not happy they feel a great load of depression in their lives, which can sometimes lead to suicide.
About 350 aircrafts came storming over Pearl Harbor dropping hundreds of bombs attempting to sink The United State’s ships.

Deontology and teleology have been regarded two of the dominant theories in the history of ethics. In response to the question ‘What shall we do?’ the former theory tells us that we should do the action(s) that adherence to a principle (s). Conversely, the latter theory holds the view that we should do the action(s) that promotes happiness or pleasure regardless of the principle(s). Intention plays a significant role between the two theories, though it acts differently. The intention of deontological theory is to follow principle(s) whereas for the teleological theory, the intention is to follow the better outcome(s). In her book Meaning in Life and Why it Matters, Susan Wolf rejects both of these theories because they leave out many of the
High Noon, which is an old western type of movie, is about a sheriff named Will Kane that has to fight to save his town.

In society there are still differences in classes such as higher class, middle class, and lower class. In sociology, we observed a film called The Pursuit Happyness, where we witnessed the struggles a father went through to succeed. Chris Gardner, who was played by Will Smith, is living in his apartment with his wife and his son. Due to their struggles, the mother walks out on and leaves Chris struggling alone with his son. In the film Chris Gardner applies for an unpaid internship for a competitive stockbroker company where out of twenty men, only one gets the job. While he is on his internship, we see the hardships of getting kicked out of his apartment to staying at a shelter home to then sleeping in a subway bathroom with his son. Viewing the movie through a sociological lens, The Pursuit of Happyness will be analyzed according to the major three sociological paradigms: structural functionalism, social conflict theory, and symbolic interactionalism.
Although I believe I am living a normal life, after analyzing the answers to the survey’s questions I conclude there is always time to change my habits. On a personal scale I am very optimistic, almost stress free, protective of my well being, and active. However, I rarely visit the doctors and almost never pay attention to miniscule conditions in my body that may cause harm to me in the future. After reading and analyzing the articles assigned to me, I have found several courses of action to try.
You and your family are peasant farmers, and considered second class in China’s social levels. People treat you and your family with respect because you plant food for them to eat, a necessity for life. People are very thankful for people like you.

I have always believed that everything happens for a reason. Now, I am not saying that I believe that there is a larger plan for everyone’s life. To clarify, I believe that there is no such thing as fate. Alternatively the events that happen throughout an individual 's life impacts their future in unknown ways.
Invisible Strings – About Fate and Books Things happen because of a reason, or at least that is what most people like to say. Some like to call those events fate. Humans seem to have a predilection for believing in the mystical or in some bigger force that might have a degree of control over their actions. People nowadays believe so much in fate that it came to be a recurrent theme in the media. Movies, music and books often depict situations where the outcomes are a product of fate.
Life, in the physical sense, is nothing more than a precursor to the true life that some of us may experience after death. This is the message that Samuel Butler conveys in “How to Make the Best of Life”. He succeeds in conveying this message through his use of rhetorical questions, analogies, and by presenting the counter argument to his views. Butler’s use of rhetorical questions such as “Which does the question contemplate–the life we know, or the life which others may know, but which we know not?” and “Can Shakespeare be said to have begun his true life till a hundred years or so after he was dead and buried?”
I went to Renew U expecting to hear some nice worship songs and repetitive messages, but I was completely wrong. At Renew U, God spoke and dealt with me in such a personal manner that I now have a new revelation of who God is in my life.
A powerful quote said by pre-socratic philosopher named Democritus says “Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul”. In other words, happiness does not come from materialism but instead from the things money can’t buy. In the article The Secret of Happiness the author David Myers writes directly to Americans about how he believes we need to obtain a new “American Dream” that emphasizes personal happiness instead of materialistic happiness. Myers also believes happiness resides in the soul and he says people that think money is the key to happiness are actually less content with themselves and he uses various ways to prove this point. With that being said materialistic happiness vs personal happiness is an important issue, and Myers made a strong use of Logos by showing surveys and studies, Ethos by showing credibility in his argument but he could have used more Pathos by using more emotion and enthusiasm in his argument.
Everything in life happens for a reason and nothing happens by happenstance, chance or luck. I
