After hearing one of my classmates explain to me why people help other people, it really showed me how the teenage spirit is very caring and sincere when talking about why people help other people. What my fellow classmate answered when asked why do people help other people, he said that people help others to feel good in life and to know that others, not just themselves are being helped. And after hearing this response I quickly thought how caring people can be and how much one person wants to take care of the other.

However, as I kept this answer in my head, I started to believe that maybe when he said “it makes people feel good inside”, it started to sound as if maybe he was being sarcastic and he was really trying to say that when people help others, they do so for themselves only and just try to do good because that’s what they think is expected of them and that means that its not truly from the heart, which makes me question people in general.

Though after thinking about if people help others because they really mean it or they just help others because that’s what they think is expected of them, people still are making strides to take the step of taking the action of helping someone. In addition, I must end this analysis by leaving the reader with the question of; Is it worse if people help others because they think that’s what is expected in the world or if people help others because they really want to help others

Essential Question Just in our Christchurch community, we have a whole system based on truth. We are all expected to tell the truth, and nothing less. Although, that does not speak for the rest of society. Truth has been degraded to just a mere action. Truth needs to be recognized for its value. Our modern society has a completely different view on truth as perhaps society of the last generation.
 * What is the importance of truth in our society?**

Our modern prospective on truth has become diluted to just a fraction of its true value. In today’s world, it is perceived that honesty is not always the best policy. We have advertisements and video games of deceit all around us. One example would be the game Grand Theft Auto. The whole game is based around the idea of lying, stealing and killing. If you look at the video games 10 years ago, you will find a much different gaming atmosphere. Super Mario Brothers was the hit game 10 years ago that I grew up playing. There was nothing on any game I can remember playing that provoked deceit. Which brings us to the subject of personal beliefs. It only makes me think if the modern public influence has anything to do with beliefs of today.
 * What is the modern prospective on truth?**

Sub-questions for pondering.
 * How do we know our beliefs are valid?**


 * Is there a gap between age groups on honesty policies?**

Jake Peterson Why are humans so determined to overcome adversity? I believe that the reason why they do this is its is ingrained in our DNA to over come and be the best we can be. This is also why we compete to over come adversity I also believe that we also are so determined to do this because we are always comparing ourselves to others. This Brings me to my next question: why do we as humans compare ourselves to others? The reason why we do this is we all want to be equal or better than other we do this in all aspects of life weather we realize it or not. It is also the reason why we strive to do better. In life it is survival of the fittest and we all ways want to be on top and we compare ourselves to others to see what we have and to see what they we need t be more like them or even better than them.
