thinking PHILOSOPHICALLY

Do we have a moral responsibility towards less fortunate people?

Yes because all that we have came from God so, we must share or help them but it does not mean that the less fortunate will depend entirely to the ones that help them. Instead, they must search for work before having their family and make sure that their children will have proper education so that they can have their work in the future.

• Is it wrong to divulge a secret someone has confided you?

Yes it is wrong because that person that shared you a secret has shared it for the two of you only. He trusted you so he told or shared you that secret, inorder to repay that trust you must also keep it a secret and make sure that no one will know.

• Should we eat meat? Should we wear animal skins?

Meat is one of the sources of nutrients that our body needs so, we need to take in meat inorder to have healthy body. The meat I'm referring to is the meat of the animals that are culture and farmed and not the animals that are endangered. Same through also with animal skins, the sources of animal skins are now endangered because of having their skins so, we must stop killing them just to wear their skins.

• Should we try to keep people alive at all costs, no matter what their physical or mental condition?

Yes, we must try to keep them alive because it is our responsibility as his family. No one will care for them as much as his family does. If that person wishes to die, we must not give up instead, we show him that there is still hope. Just don't give up on him because if we do they will also do the same.

• Is it wrong to kill someone in self-defense?

No it is not wrong because in the first place that bad person knows that what he will do is a wrong thing and expects that his victim might fight back so, it's still the fault of the bad person if something bad will happen to him. For the victim, you only defended yourself and you are not the one that started it.

• Should people be given equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, or gender?

Yes ofcourse because we are all born equally as humans, we must be treated equally also. When we were born we have all the same rights that differs only to the paths we chose when we grow up. For the gender, in this time there are still works that males can do that females can't and vice versa, what we must do is to give chance for them to try.

• Is it wrong to ridicule someone even if you believe it's in "good fun"?

Yes it is wrong to make fun of others because even if it is a "good fun", you might still hurt his feelings and may cause pain to him emotionally. Not all good fun causes goodness to the people around us and it is better to make them happy than making fun of them.

• Should you "bend the rules" to advance your career?

No, because rules are made not just to benefit you but for everyone and if you bend this rules, it is considered cheating. Cheating can cause damage to other people you can hurt them physically or emotionally. The important is not the position of your career is but on how you get in that position.

• Is it all right to manipulate people into doing what you want if you believe it's for their own good?

Yes, because your intention is good for that person. Just make sure that you do it properly and will not cause misunderstanding. If you did it properly it will not only benefit yourself but others also.

• Is there anything wrong with pornography?

Yes, because pornography is one of the major causes of teenage prenancy for the misuse of it. Pornography must only be exclusive for adults and not to be accessed by any people. Now, even children can access it and leads them to curiosity that will also lead them to early realationships and makes them not to graduate and affecs also their future. Our future might be affected just by watching porn and not remembering our limitations.

• Should we always try to take other people's needs into consideration when we act or should we first make sure that our own needs are taken care of?

We must first make sure that our needs are taken care of because if it's not we may create more problems. It,s true that sharing or giving is good but atleast we must keep enough for our usage also. If we give and give it might creat problems of you instead of slolving problems.

• Should we experiment with animals in order to improve the quality of our lives?

Yes, because we do not have any choice. We will not know if a substance is dangerous to human beings without trying them to lower forms of animals. If it was not tested to animals more humans might suffer. We don't want to sacrifice humans so, we don't have any choice but to try it to the animals. Anyway, they reproduce more than us so it will not greatly affect our ecosystem.
