I have decided to choose "Why should be Moral “as my research topic. This topic fascinates me because I’m going to school to be a lawyer and eventually go into politics. Another reason why I chose this chapter, I have been doing a lot of thinking and I always wanted to know why do people do right, when it so easy to do wrong. For the most part I chose this chapter because I want to get a different perspective on morality. The first thing that I learned about moral values is that moral values are the standards of good and evil, which govern an individual’s behavior and choices. Without Moral values I think that we would all would perish. I learned this from http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/moral-values-faq.htm
The second thing that I have learned about Moral values is that it’s derive from within one’s own self. The choices that are made by an individual from childhood to adulthood are forbidden and acceptable, kind or cruel, generous or selfish. I also learned this from http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/moral-values-faq.htm
The last thing that I have learned is about Moral value is that Moral values are generally shared values. If we did not have an values in common, it would be exceedingly difficult to agree on any one course of action. But since there is often disagreement as to what is the right thing to do in any situation, we can see that in fact, various values are shared to a greater or lesser extent. On some values there will be nearly unanimous agreement. On others, there may be considerable disagreement. I learned this from http://www.ethicsweb.ca/guide/moral-decision.html

Why should we be moral?
The primary reason why I chose this topic is due to the fact that I am interested in the reason why people should be moral. Another reason why I chose this topic is because I would like to gain another perspective on life and the reason I should do right instead of wrong. Especially since we live in a world that is dog eat dog. Also, this chapter is important to me because I am considering going into politics so therefore, I hope this chapter will keep me grounded to do right. The book stated” On this conception, God has set out the rules we must obey, a he will reward those who keep his commandments and punish those who do not.” I find this very interesting and I really want to learn more about moral obligation.

The Meaning of Life?
In my opinion, this chapter is the greatest and the most significant subject and I am dying to learn about this chapter. I am interested in learning about this subject because I always use to ask myself what is the meaning of life? Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to get a response from my parents because they always told me that is something that I needed to find on my own. Having “The meaning of Life”, as one of the chapters for me to choose from was quite overwhelming. I hope this chapter gives me a feel of what other people think is the meaning of life, and hopefully I could come to my own conclusion.

What is Philosophy?
Philosophy is the state at which we think and we make logical reasoning among ourselfs. Philosophy is looking at the world for what it is, not for what someone tells you.
