Journal #5 The Stranger

#5 Personal Philosophy
You will demonstrate your understanding of the importance of one's world view by scrutinizing your thoughts on how the world works and indentifying guiding principles for your own philosophy.
A. Give it a name
B. Identify seven to ten guiding principles: These should be clear and thoughtful – no clichés
C. Explain from where each principle developed and why it is important
 
A. The MichelleVollmuller Philosophy
 
B. 1. everyone has morality
2. Morality is determined by the individual, and should not be determined by society
3. Everyone believes in God to some extent. Some people are in denial or do not call Him God but call Him by a different name.
4. Society is full of contradictions
5. Every single person has at least one societal contradiction within themselves
6. Society and the individual never HAVE to agree, they just have to figure out how to get along
7. People do not actually hate anyone, they are either jealous or just love them and have gotten hurt
8. There is no correct view on the world
9. A person's view on the world and on society are shaped by the individual's life experiences
10. No on is HAPPY 100% of the time. They may look happy on the outside, but could be crying on the inside.
 
C.
1. From my religious background and personal opinion. It is important because it proves that everyone is responsible for their actions
2. Came off of #1 and from the fact that society can be wrong and that society doesn't always know what is best
3. Atheists believe in nothing, yet many of them are super stitious ere go a "higher power" is believed in by them. also, Every religion in the world centers around some sort of "higher power", universal overlord, or God. This is important because even though everyone does not see eye to eye, we can all find at least one thing to agree on: that something beyond our power exists
4. I recieved this from my observations of Societal norms. example: It is unconstitutional to say that Gay Marriage is illegal because according to the first ammendment, the government shall not pass laws that hinder one's ability to practice their religion, yet we have states that say that Gay marriage is illegal. Point proven
5. This has come from close observation of myself and my friends. I do robotics and cheerleading, yet according to society and Hollywood, this should not be so. But according to society and Hollywood, I should be popular, and I am not (at least by society's standards)
6. If society says no murdering, but you murder a person because they killed your cat, in your mind you may think it is perfectly right to get revenge, but according to society you should be killed for killing another person (another contradiction btw), so that's why we have courts. The courts are so that society doesn't kill you, but you learn that according to society, it is wrong to kill a person because they killed your cat
7. Girls say they hate their ex's. That' because they loved their ex's once, but their ex's hurt them. Ere go they do not HATE them, they just merely have wounded love and are jealous that their ex has moved on and that they cannot get over them
8. There is never a correct view on the world, if their was, then we would all be viewing the world incorrectly because each person views the world differently because of their own life experiences
9. Point already proven
10. You cannot be HAPPY 100% of the time, otherwise Absolutely nothing and no one bothers you or annoys you. And you have never been physically hurt before. Or you live in a bubble inside a cave at the bottom of the ocean.
