really need to be careful. Because, it could easily create a confusion, and misunderstanding. Another thing I have learned from this project is about myself. How I see myself and others. I used to think that I am a great judger, but I am not. Usually, I judge people by their appearance. I even misjudge to Boonies Reed.

As I read the book, I came to the conclusion that there is no direct answer as to what is the right thing to do, even through all of his examples and references of moral philosophers.
