Everyone is a special sculpture in the world. Nobody can find another person who is exactly the same as itself. There are many different factors that can significantly influence an individual’s character, values, and beliefs. However, I think the most important one is the living circumstance surround a person. The living circumstance is a very huge topic, so I separate it into three parts.
The first thing I want to emphasize is when and where was the person born and lived. There is an old Chinese saying says,” Different areas create different people.” It is obvious that different nations have different generalizations in different periods; everyone is made by a specific historical period. In the memoir Warriors Don’t Cry, the author Melba Beals and her special experience is created by the special historical period of the U.S.
Secondly, education is another part of living circumstance. For students, they spend most of the day at school with their classmates and teachers. I have heard lots of stories about how does a teacher changed a student’s life. As for the responsibilities of a teacher, I think that transmitting the culture is very important for really young children up to teens. It is the golden period for a person to build up his or her own personality; teachers should lead students to the right way. In the article Becoming a Writer, Russell Baker is an actively example of changing by his teacher.
Last but not least, family background maybe the biggest part of living circumstance. When we were born, we were not born with a set of values and expectations, so we learned them from our parents or adults who raised us,
others for situations and circumstances. It means choosing to design a life that honors our values and purpose. Here are twelve reflections on personal responsibility:1. Personal responsibility begins from the inside and moves outward. We must begin by taking responsibility for our thoughts, choices, and reactions. Then we can be responsible for the circumstances we create in our world. 2. We have the divine gift of free will. We make conscious choices as spiritual living in a physical world. Conscious…
Imagine living in a world where you completely disagree with a law or rule. Everyone in this world is required to obey this law, but your beliefs do not allow you to do the same. You can not carry on with being an obedient citizen so you break the rules. In the conclusion of breaking the laws, you have gotten into serious trouble. You are no longer living safe and in harmony. You are asking me if it is justifiable to break the rules in certain circumstances. I think in no circumstances should it…

Being a virtuous person is the aim of ethics, of living the good life What are some ways that utilitarianism can be challenged (think of the examples we discussed in class). How might a utilitarian reply to these objections? 6. What is the mean? How are the different virtues we discussed in class…
