(1) I think that actions speak louder than words. If someone is a good person and don’t perform good or bad acts, no one will know that the person is good. When someone performs good acts, the people around them take note of that. For example, holding a door open for the person behind them I consider a good act. It may be a small act, but it is still a good act. It doesn’t matter the place or period, good acts are outweighed then good people. Now it can depend on the circumstance; if you know someone is a good person and they don’t do a good act like holding the door open for the person behind them, then you immediately think that was rude or mean because you expected them to. If it is a stranger and you never saw them before and they hold the door open for you, you will appreciate that more than if you know they are a good person

(3) I think the thought process by which decisions are made matter more than the outcome behind that, but the outcome of the decision is still very important. If I know someone’s thought process behind doing something and it works out, that’s great. If the decision doesn’t work out as planned, but there was a lot of thought given in the process, it will act as a learning experience for next time. If the thought process behind the decision was bad and the outcome of the decision came out good, that’s just lucky and next time the outcome might not be so lucky. Different periods and places shouldn’t make a difference, but a different circumstance might. For example, if there is a lot of risk involved or it is a life-changing event and your thought process is spot on, but the outcome of the decision is bad. This could mean losing a lot of money, job, or house; the outcome is more important for larger scale situations. In general though, the thought process matters more than the outcomes of the decisions.

(6) My own life I believe is worth the same as the lives of the people around me. Everybody have different circumstances come along where they think for a second that their life is more important than the one next to them. For example, whenever you beat someone or a team in a sporting event, you consider yourself better than them. You may think in the moment that winning the game means that your life is worth more than theirs. I have done that before, but then I come back to reality and realize that our lives are worth the same. Same thing goes in the opposite direction too. If you lose a game for example, you hate yourself or disown yourself, but then later realize that it was just a game and that your lives are worth the same. Other circumstances could be the color or your skin or the shape of your body, but everybody’s lives are worth the same. In reality, there will be situations or occasions where we may think our lives are more important or less important than the people around us, but the ending outcome is that all our lives are worth the same amount.
