Chapter Four: A Conceptual Analysis

582 Words2 Pages

After reading Chapter four on subjectivity and whether there is such thing as individuality and everyone being unique, the question I immediately asked myself was whether I consider myself as a unique individual and what are the reasons as to why I believe such thing. Of course I believe I am unique. I mean, why wouldn’t I? I believe no one has the same name as me. I believe no one can and will never experience the same events I have encountered in my life. I believe no one have the same combinations of human qualities instilled in me. I believe no one think and will never think the same way as I do. I believe no one’s view of who their God is to be is the same as mine even if we have the same religion. So, why wouldn’t I believe that I am unique? Of course I’m unique. Everyone in the world is unique. …show more content…

So, I asked most of my friends if they believed they are unique and why they believe that. All, but one said the most cliche way of answering the question, which was that yes, everyone is unique. Of course, that have some truth to it, but they did not answer my question. I asked them whether they believe they are unique and why. The one person who actually answered my question made this statement which I think was very well put. She said and as I quote, “Everything is unique in its variation.” This statement, I believe means is that yes, the qualities that each of us have, another person also have it, but the combinations of the qualities that everyone have is what makes each and everyone of us

  • Analysis Of Don T Lower The Bar By Leonard Pitts

    1689 Words  | 4 Pages

    Some people love controversy; some despise it. Regardless of how one views a controversial topic, odds are he is fascinated by it and has his own thoughts on the matter. Journalist Leonard Pitts, Jr., who authors editorial articles for the Miami Herald, writes extremely opinionated pieces on current controversial topics targeting those who are not minorities. He writes with the goal of bringing to light issues that people would rather not discuss. Pitts’ style can be seen through pieces such as “Don’t Lower the Bar on Education Standards;” “Torture Might Work, but That’s Not the Issue;” and “If the Gunman is White, We’re OK With Mass Murder. No, Really, We Are.” In “Don’t Lower the Bar,” Pitts addresses the standards gap in the education system

    Marcus Tullius Cicero, a famous Roman author, once said, “To each his own”. The quote simply means everyone is different in some type of way. A person can be charismatic, naive, or idiotic. Certain traits that a person owns can be defined by an independent archetype or, in many cases, multiple. The seeker, the sage, and the innocent, can particularly make up an individual that is loved by some, hated by many, enjoying life too much to live vicariously through people’s words and care about anything but himself.

    That notion has been instilled in our head since we were kids. What makes us so different from each other is our personality; every personality that we acquire fits each and every unique individual. Unfortunately there are some cases where some people’s personality can become a bit extreme and cause problems not only for themselves but also to others who deal with them (loved ones, coworkers, teachers, etc.). In this case the personality stop becoming little quirks that make person who they are but disorders that consumes the person and become unbearable at times. These disorders manifest themselves as configurations of traits that are considered non-desirable, but to some there are a few of these traits that are considered very desirable when they’re not dealing with

  • Who Is Man By Abraham J. Heschel

    The quality of uniqueness and the singularity of each human being is a fundamental characteristic of humanity. In describing uniqueness, Heschel explains how man occupies a unique position of being both a natural and a human being. Though as a natural being, man is “determined by natural laws”, he, as a human, has the freedom of choice and the ability to make decisions (37). Ultimately influenced by decision-making, the course of a man’s life is subject to change and cannot be predicted. Human existence is comprised of an unlimited number of events that cannot be replicated, making it inherently unique (37). While people may come from similar circumstances, each man is an original. Every man has a distinct face and name, beliefs and experienced events that are completely singular. Uniqueness is the most constitutive trait of human existence as it reflects the fundamental nature of humanity -- that no two people are the same and that no two people will be shaped by experiences in the same way. All other attributes of humanity flow

    All human beings are created equal, but every human being is different in his own way. Some people take advantage of their differences and some people do not; the ones that do are true individuals. Passion, perseverance, and preservation are the foundation of an individual. Individuals stand up for what they believe in, go after what they want, and contribute to part of a greater whole. Individuals embrace who they truly are and what they stand for regardless of whether they stand alone among the crowd. Since the beginning of mankind, people have yearned for meaning, searched for their purpose in life, but relatively few have found theirs. The majority of human beings go through life following the crowd, ants in a line, but those people

  • Human Intelligence Essay

    1225 Words  | 3 Pages

    What makes different people unique? It is their intelligences. Intelligences make different people unique because they have their own abilities, skills, and learning styles in approaching specific tasks. In the article, “Human Intelligence Isn’t What We Think It Is,” Howard Gardner argues that there are seven forms of intelligences; however since different people have different abilities in which different individuals approach specific tasks, they will not have all those intelligences. Therefore, people cannot judge on other people when they do not have those intelligences. Personally, I believe that I have logical-mathematical, spatial-visual, and intrapersonal intelligences.

    Oscar Wilde once said long time ago that most people are other people. Therefore their thoughts are someone else opinion, their lives are mimicry.

Nevertheless, some people do not like to be other people some people like to be different and unique in their own way.
