Philosophy
_
My first assignment posted in this
philosophy section is a response paper to one of Heidegger’s writings. His theories made me think about nature and
technology in a completely different way.
He discussed the difference between older technology and modern
technology, and their relationships with nature. We always hear about how our technology is
bad for the environment, but I never thought about the progression that technology
has taken with its relationship with nature.
The second assignment posted is the Moral Reasoning assignment. For this assignment, I had to argue my
opinion on providing monetary compensation for organs donors. This assignment made me think about our
current system and its flaws. Lastly, I
have posted my Philosopher/Character Analysis essay. For this assignment, I had to compare the
theories of four philosophers to two characters in a novel we read for the
class. This was interesting and
difficult because the novel wasn’t necessarily focused around philosophy – it was
just the average story. So, like with my
other assignments, I had to think about normal actions in a different way.
