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.
