Destiny or free will?

Destiny or Free Will

Destiny or free will? This question went around the world for centuries and generations, however no-one found the right answer because there isn't one. This is a very strong reason for arguments or debates. For me, I believe in destiny because god has everything written down foe you. People might say yes but you choose what you want to do or what you want, but I would tell them god knew you were going to choose this thing because its your destiny. There is also scientific proof that life is built on your destiny, your unconscious mind doesn't choose while it does your destiny. An example is, what if there was a billionaire and one day he lost all his money and he didn't choose that to happen to him because it something no one would wish for, yes he has the choice to live his whole life with depression. So, this means that fate is the answer because what ever he would've done he would still loose all his money at the end.

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method?

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method? Socrates was a philosopher known as "the father of philosophy". He was known to teach, yet he only taught 3 students because it was in the old ages. Socrates didn't write anything down and all the information we know now are from the students he taught before. Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher, of the Western ethical tradition of thought. Socrates wasn't only known for philosophy but known for Greek Western Philosophy. He was also the first moral philosopher. Socrates didn't give up philosophy even after he was given a death sentence. He was hated by everyone in his town because of his sayings. He believed that only the people who believe they don't know are the intelligent ones.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

The Danger of a Single Story This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities. Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

Grit - spoken by Angela Lee Duckworth

Grit Angela Lee talks about something I've always believed in. That is that the students who are doing better in school than others, doesn't necessarily mean they are smarter. I've always believed in that because the students who do better in school are the ones that are only able to memorize, rather than actually understand. They are not trying to better themselves with knowledge that they can seek by themselves. They take the knowledge from their teachers and just apply it on tests. Not that I wasn't one of these students, I very much were. I sued to study just for the sake of passing, nit worrying about if I'll remember the things I've learned after applying it on the tests and quizzes. However, as I've grown and realized that I was passing school in a very wrong way, I changed that habit. A very big part of changing that habit was changing school systems. Everytime I talked with anyone about school systems, th...
