I Do

strive to answer questions about moral duties such as, “What should I do?” Virtue theory, on the other hand, takes a different approach in asking the question, “What kind of person should I be?” This view focuses less on moral actions and more on the character traits essential to a thriving life. Virtue theory states that, “An act is morally right just because it is one that a virtuous person, acting in character, would do in that situation” (page 253). In other words, a virtue theorist…

When I was 7 years old in December of 2003, I stepped foot for the first time in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the time I did not know how hard it was going to be, having to grow up quickly, become an independent person, and aside from learning that the people who you think would be the ones to help you end up being the one 's who try to destroy you. My mom always used to say, “You were born alone not with people do your own thing do not expect others to.” The first months of living here were…

What will I do with my future? What will I be? What will I do? These are decisions that each of us have to make, sometimes more than once in our lives. As we approach the end of our high school careers, the pressure to make some choices and get a clear direction is mounting. It doesn’t matter whether you want to be a musician, a therapist, a chef, a college professor, a banker, or a restaurant owner. These are all jobs that require an answer to one question. What will I do with my life? Deciding…

Ii don’t need life insurance is because I do not depend on a paycheck. If I were to die early thean my life insurance would give the money to my family to help replace my income . I am also single and do not have dependents, which live in a no-dependents household so is another reason that life insurance is really not important for me to have at this point in my life. I do not get a paycheck so it is really not necessary for me to buy life insurance because I will most likely not be able to…

for Sibyl Vane by none other that Dorian himself: I love Sibyl Vane. I want to place her on a pedestal of gold and to see the world worship the woman who is mine. What is marriage? An irrevocable vow. You mock at it for that. Ah! don't mock. It is an irrevocable vow that I want to take. Her trust makes me faithful, her belief makes me good. When I am with her, I regret all that you have taught me. I become different from what you have known me to be. I am changed, and the mere touch of Sibyl…

Do you remember me? I was your best friend before you started being used by your family. They destroyed the friendship we had because of their own greediness. We were made to be at the top of the world, but the problems you had at home was our downfall. I am sitting on my bed right now just hearing that you have passed away. Funeral. Now am thinking of how great of a man you were. You were a man full or wonders, you had the ability to be someone better in life, and you were a friend that I…

176139 Who do I Know? The sun’s rays glisten into my room. The curtains are no match against its glow. My eyes open swiftly. I get out of bed and proceed to the bathroom. I then brush my teeth and splash water at my face to wake myself up. Usually my mother wakes me up the morning, but she didn’t today. It isn’t the weekend. In fact, it is nearing the end of my fifth grade year. I walk into my parents room to inquire what is happening today. Why did the routine change? I see my dad has already…

searching for my hardships, I had a difficult time. After searching for some time, I came to the realization that by this age, my hardships are often what I end up shrugging off. After some soul searching, I came to see that one of my hardships was my parents. Throughout middle school, and parts of high school my parents often fought with one another. They fought to the point that by seventh grade I had seriously wished that they would just get divorced, for the best. However, I later came to…

Who am I and what do I stand for? A philosophical question asked by people throughout history in all cultures. Most people live their entire lives trying to identify as someone they aspire to be, someone who can end each day with pride in themselves, their profession, and their family. Sadly, this level of mental comfort is unattainable for most due to lack of resources, talent, drive, or opportunity. Most try to accept their station in life and attempt to make the best of it. Others live their…

I’m a former worker in the meat company downside the street. I just wanted to go see my family because I get back from work very late. My two beautiful children, Kalina and George, will be waiting for me to cuddle with them and bring them warmth to their hearts. My wife she would be making the rich tasty dinner she always does. Sadly, we’re starting to run out of food. We have a hard time making a Greek salad with some chicken. My wife and I are getting mega nervous because in one point we won’t…
