1.) Is it more important to be a good person or to perform good acts (virtue ethics vs. action ethics)? This question made me think a lot because I personally think that in order for one to be a good person they must have role model characteristics to make them a great person. Although in my opinion, I have always believed that it is more important to be a good person, than to be someone who performs good acts. My reasoning behind my opinion is that anyone can perform a good deed, but it is hard to find a good individual. Another thing is most good people always perform acts of kindness because they mean it. I’d prefer someone who is sincere about doing something over someone who does it to do a good deed. In my personal view, I believe I am a good person because of my actions and the way I always try to reach out and do more for those that need the help. Your actions are never always seen, but first impressions are always important and if someone sees that you are a good person then it’ll take you further in life.

3.) Does the process by which decisions are made matter more than the outcomes of these decisions (procedural justice vs. distributive justice)? I felt as if this question made me think of where I would fall. I personally think that I fall in between, but tend to lean more towards decisions matter more when you think them through. The reason is that I have always been the kind to think ahead, although there have been times where I have acted without thinking. I know that even when you plan ahead sometimes the outcomes are not as you planned them out to be. I think that as much as one sits there on planning ahead rather the decisions is right or wrong, one can never really predict the outcome. I will have to say that it is better to think to thank to act without thinking because depending on whatever the case may be there could be consequences that could be prevented.

6.) Is my own life worth more than the lives of others, the same, or less (selfishness vs. altruism)? I believe that my life is valuable because you only get to live once, but I think that my life is the same as others. The reason why that is is everyone decides what to do with their life, so what someone makes out of it is on them. My parents have always told me, “treat others how you would like to be treated”, which has made me think that everyone is the same just with different ways of living. No matter what anyone says every life is valuable no matter where you come from or what your past may be. I have always believed that the more you do by heart the more that you will get out of life. In which, I have to say it has got me further in life and has made me the individual I am.
