Unit 2 Values

The author makes a broad and valid argument about about the ways in which we determine the actual thought of some thing being true and thus giving a specific human value. Since, the nature of determining  truth can be an arguable point that can be questioned very easily, the author does a great job by making the audience to question their own truth as he suggest that “is not that everyone must agree, but rather that everyone should define his or her terms carefully” (Lewis, 12-13). Though the author makes logical point which is convincing, I think that in some way he does undermines the process in which people actually value things.

As he states that “Surely what matter the most are the values themselves, not the way we arrive at them” (Lewis, 13). Here he is basically saying that people do not value the process they actually the result. Although, results are always the desirable objects of human journey towards something but I think is the process is the actual reason we value something.

Since the author provided many instances associated with Christianity, I would do the same. As in Christianity the result is faith and in the process to attain faith, learning the theological belief of the Christianity faith is the most important. In this example, both faith and the theological belief associated to it are equally important as the other.

Considering what the author is saying would be like actually having a scenario where people value only their collage degree and not the education. As in this case the degree would be the item of value and the process would be the days and nights one spend studying and working for that degree of value. Thus in my view, the process of attaining something valuable also makes you realize the importance that is associated with that thing.

However, this is only my thought about value and its equal importance of process. What do you think about the process of attaining something valuable to you? Is the process as equally important to you or would you just prefer the value without knowing the importance of it?

Stash of Cash

Stash of Cash

So if I find a large amount of cash my first thought would be if the previous owner of the item i bought actually own this money, I mean after all its 21st century.
who keeps large amount of cash with them?

However, my second thought would be on the occupation of the person. As such large amount of cash are not held by people that are normally in respect of the law.
In this view, I might think about informing the police as I would also consider the money being associated with some drug seller or probably some smuggler, who are not very nice while asking for their money back.

But after all, I am just a human and may end up keeping the money. Although I know that keeping the money would probably be the most wrong thing to do both ethically and legally but we live in the era of self interest. We are thought from very early age that we are in the most advance technologically era because of self interest and the key to success and luxury is self interest. Even though I was thought that self interest is necessary for success, I was also thought that it is not right to steal from some one. Therefore, due to my doubt about the previous owner of my purchased item being the owner of the money, I would end up keeping the money until he/she ask me if i found their money in the item I purchased from them.

Finally in my opinion, the right thing to do here would be to actually call the police or donate the money to some NGO that actually people in the world. And of all the scenario I have mentioned I actually don’t know which one I would actually end up doing but actually I won’t know until I end up finding some ridiculously large amount in some thing I found from on craigslist.

Hello world!
