How do we know what is moral?


First of all, being moral is being concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and goodness or badness of human character. For me, being moral a huge thing I have to achieve. My religion, Catholicism, tells me to follow the right path and reach morality, which leads you to heaven, where God waits for us. If you, instead choose to go the opposite way, to immorality, then you will never be happy, and you will go to hell. To recognize someone as a moral person, they have to follow certain rules. They have to be nice to others, and they can't hurt them. You also have to stay happy and be honest at all times. This is what being moral means to me.

THIS I BELEVE:

In this post im going to be talking about a 'This i believe' essay by Aaron. The point of this is to know how this belief is important in daily life and how it realtes to us by experiences we've had in life.

The essay's name is 'Abnormally Normal' by Aaron
Here is a piece of the writing:

"We’re all normal. It’s true. I’m sure there is some existential link involved in the process of finding normality. That’s part of the journey. I am 36 years old and have Tourette’s Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and ADHD tendencies. Sure, normality is an elusive and subjective concept, but after admitting some of my own distinguishing characteristics, I still believe that we’re all normal."

I believe this essay relates to the belief of being free, since Aaron wants to feel normal and do whatever he wants without anyone telling him its wrong.

Aaron is a normal man, with a normal life. But he doesn't feel the same. He feels like his illnesses make him different. He feels like he has no freedom. He also have many reasons to be happy and free, since he's got a wonderful family who accepts him like he is!

This essay connects a little bit to me.. Maybe even to everyone.. Being free gives you the chance to be whatever you want and not being afraid to show it!

DomiKnow Profile

Ok, so last class we had activity to see which learning profile we were. The whole point of this was to se our challenges when learning, and to figure out how to learn in a fun and better way. By the end of the class we figured out these things:

I learn best when.. i am not being distracted. Whenever i hear or see something, i get really get the anxiety to see what it is.

I need to.. try to work in a quiet place with no interruptions.

The strategies that could help me in my learning are.. working in many projects and activities that allow you to move (being active).

I would like my teachers to know about me.. I am a kinesthetic learning which means i like moving around and doing activities.. :D
