Persuasive Essay 42

When it comes to the topic of the philosophy of life, the first question that comes to mind is what is the meaning of life? When it comes to the meaning of life, there are two main conflicting arguments. On the one hand, philosophers generally ignored the question of life's meaning because they were doubtful that it had/no/real answer. And dm the other hand, most non-philosophers consider it one of the most important questions, if not the most important question, of human existence. You can view the meaning of life through a few perspectives, through J the super-naturalist point of view, which states that a spiritual realm is necessary to| exist for life's meaning, and a naturalist point of view, which states that life's meaning can exist through the ways of living in a purely physical world.

When the man in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy asks the machine that was built to answer the question of life, the universe and everything, the man's forceful and blunt word choice, demanding that he know the answer "We must know it! Now!" emphasises the ever growing lust for the knowledge of their lively hoods, brought upon by their imagination and suggest that however much information that we are capable of creating just in our individual minds it is never enough to fill this desire. When the men do not think that the answer is thorough enough the machine replies with a rhetorical question, "But what actually is it?" when referencing the ultimate question, reinforces the idea that our imagination is longing for an answer to questions that we do not have enough information to ask and promotes the use of our own minds when asking ourselves questions that may not have suitable

Many people in our society have been cast away and looked down upon because they are different from us.

If I had to persuade someone to read this book, I would recommend it to someone who is a fan of horror, thriller, and mystery books. Koichi Sakakibara has moved to a new school in a different town called Yomiyama North Middle School. Upon meeting his classmates, he immediately notices their erratic behavior, as if they were hiding something from him. Then, he encounters a strange girl named Mei Misaki, who is seemingly invisible to Class 3. As he pries into Class 3’s history and questions his classmates, he learns the curse that Class 3 harbors. Each month, at least one person from Class 3 or a family member relating to them dies a mysterious death. The reason behind this calamity is caused by an extra person that had been placed in the class that should’ve been dead. Because the person was supposed to be dead, it brings the whole class closer to death, thus the calamity.

Giussani describes the six unreasonable positions before ultimate questions and I classify these as preconceptions. These positions evade the questions that deal with our existence. What does reality consist of and what is it made for? What is the ultimate meaning of existence? Why is there pain and death and why in the end is a life worth living (Giussani 45)? The theoretical denial of the questions defines these questions as senseless. These questions are only seen as grammatically correct. They are only words and sounds. The voluntaristic substitution of questions deals with the removal of the elementary experience and how if we do not have that energy to answer the fundamental questions, we then use self-affirmation. This self-affirmation is voluntaristic energy and can only lead to answering these questions with measurable answers rather than accounting for all of the factors. These positions affirm that the questions

In my life I have thought about the answers to five questions. Is there a higher power? Does prayer work? Do things happen for a reason? Can one alter their destiny? Does life have a meaning? I have noitced that many people have similar views while others may have different views. However in my opinion I believe the answers to these questions are affirmative as they all are interconnected.

Through out history, as man progressed from a primitive animal to a "human being" capable of thought and reason, mankind has had to throw questions about the meaning of our own existence to ourselves. Out of those trail of thoughts appeared religion, art, and philosophy, the fundamental process of questioning about existence. Who we are, how we came to be, where we are going, what the most ideal state is....... All these questions had to be asked and if not given a definite answer, then at least given some idea as to how to begin to search for, as humans probed deeper and deeper into the riddle that we were all born into.

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.
