I know that the sun is really hot. I
know that Socrates was killed for what he believed. I know that I was
born and I will die for I am mortal. I know that I need food to
survive. I know that Honduras is a country and that it is located in
Central America. I believe that abortion is bad and/or wrong. I
believe that every person has a purpose whether big or small. I
believe in a Supreme Being, I 'know' that He exists but I cannot
prove it to you therefore it becomes a belief. I believe that Mondays
are the worst days of the week. (Deductive reasoning).
Some of the things that contribute to
a person's philosophy on life would be their environment, where they
live, have they moved, if so to where, etc. Their upbringing, how
they were taught, who cared for them, what religion or values or
morals surrounded them, etc. Their different experiences, if they
came across a near death experience, whether they had a harmful or
beneficial experience in their early childhood, teenage years, etc.
Their social situations, where they are in society, whether they
follow society or deviate from it, etc. (Inductive reasoning).
Conscience is the little voice in your
head that tells you right from wrong, the gut feeling of wrong versus
right. I think that conscience is innate, we are all born with it,
but like Aristotle's innate reason, it is empty and as we grow and
experience things we fill it up with knowledge of wrong and right. I
think that it will change depending on the person and his or her
beliefs of right or wrong. How we choose to use our conscience,
whether we follow it or go against it is our choice. So conscience
changes per person per culture, the idea conscience stays the same.
(Inductive and Deductive reasoning).
The priority values is when you have
to choose between two values, which is “better.” for example, you
have to choose between studying and watching Youtube videos, which
will you choose? You have to find which of the two is a priority. If
you have to choose between driving a car and polluting the air versus
walking or riding a bike and having clean air, which would you
choose? Which has a bigger priority? This will change per person and
per culture, some may think it is better to drive a car to get to
wherever faster while others will say that keeping the air clean is
better. (Deductive reasoning and Inductive reasoning).
