what is justice?
Justice is describing what is fair for a committed action, or if it’s the wrong thing there is a punishment. I don’t believe that life and American Society is fair because there are a lot of injustices happening each day. People that are guilty are sometimes rewarded and people that do and live in being fair are sometimes punished. Justice is not equal there is always inequality. The component that separates the people is money. If a person is accused of murder and he is rich, he can hire a good lawyer to prove his innocence and a private detective to find evidence to prove his innocence. If the person is rich he can find many resources to not go to jail, even if he is guilty he can prove he is innocent because he has the money to pay people to save him instead another person goes to jail paying his penalty. If the same situation happened to another person but he did not had money, if he was accused of a murder he could not prove he is innocent because he does not have the money to pay a good lawyer to find evidence to prove him innocent and eventually he will be guilty in front of the judge and the jury, even though he is innocent he will go to jail. I thin that the punishment for a crime should be that almost same if it was accidentally or intentionally because the person knew it was an accident but that does not mean he is going to get a warning and that it he should be punished so he can learn for his mistake. I think that age should not matter when a person is being trailed because he/she was mature enough to do what he/she did then they should be mature enough to confront the consequences, I think that at the age of like fourteen or fifteen up the person should be trailed as an adult. Like if two boys are in a gang and one kills he other, the boy that killed the other should have the same sentence as if it was an adult. Something that happen that I think was unfair was when I was driving and a cop stopped me and he gave me and infraction and I have to go to court and I was considered a minor but I did not get a warning even though I recently got my drivers license three months ago and it was my firsts time being stopped by a cop. What I learned from this experience was to drive with more caution and to check my lights before I went to the outside driving.

Society of others Chapter 1
Two opposite statements that are true are I like speaking French, I don’t like speaking French. The two statements are true because I do like speaking French but at the same time I don’t like it either. The point of view of the narrator of the story society of others about having money is true because people sell different items to people but the people who sell those items buy other items from other people. I don’t agree with the narrator when he says he sees things as they are because he only sees the negative part of all the different situations and not the positive that he gets from each experience he passes through. I don’t agree that nature is selfish and that all creatures kill to survive because it is no true because not all the creatures kill to survive some don’t need to kill to be able to survive they can plant their food and also creatures help each other. I don’t agree that love is a mechanism to propagate the species because if it as only for that then how come people are still together and they haven’t left the person they are with. I do agree that beauty is a trick that fades because beauty is not forever it fades with the years. I don’t agree that friendship is an arrangement for mutual advantage because friends don’t expect nothing on exchange the help each other. I do agree that goodness is not rewarded and that evil is not punished. I do believe that religion is just a superstition. Also I do believe that death is annihilation because there is nothing else to live for. I do agree that God stopped caring of human centuries ago because everyone is making their own purposes for their lives. I don’t agree with the narrator’s point of view about school because students lean different thing even if they thin they don’t learn anything. I think that when the narrator says that when a person is on a mountain they can’t see is he refers that a person cannot see what they have accomplished because they already have it. The narrator does not have a good relationship with his parents because his parents want him to have a life and a job but he disagrees because he says that they should take care of him because they gave him life and he was born and now they have to take care of him. The narrator does not have a good relationship with his girlfriend because he does not want her he is only with her for sex. The narrator has a negative attitude overall because he only sees the negative part of everyone and everything. Three quotes that show an existential point of view are “Love is a mechanism to propagate the species, this is existential because people think tat they are only with one woman to propagate the species. Another quote is “religion is a superstition” people think this way because there is no evidence that there is a God. A last example of this is the quote “Nothing. I’ m tired by nothing. Nothing exhausts me.” A person that is existentialist is that they is no purpose of doing anything.

I think that life is absurd because sometimes life doesn’t make sense, because life can makes us pass through different situations to end in the same ending. An example of this is that a person goes to a park and he takes different paths, that take him through different parts of the park but at the end he ends up in the same exit, it did not matter how much he walked he ended in the same part as an other person who did no walk that long. I don’t think that life has meaning or a purpose because nobody knows what their purpose in life is or what there are supposed to do with their lives. An example of this is a person may say the they have a purpose for what he is supposed to do with his life but he is changing of purpose every day, he doesn’t have a purpose he is just making it up because he creates his purpose and it’s not there already. I don’t think neither that there was a purpose to life before someone existed, because the person is the one that chooses what path they want to take in the world, a person can not choose the path of the other because they don’t know how the person is going to be and if he is going e able tot do what they want. An e4xample of this is that the parents of a boy they plan his future but they don’t know anything about the boy because he hasn’t been born, they don’t know if the baby is going to be born with heath problems, or any problems that he is going to face. I do think that the life of a person goes on without any propose or meaning because the person can create their own purpose for living. An example of this is maybe a marriage that he husband died, and the women feels her life has no purpose but she crates a purpose to be ok for her children. I don’t think it matters if there is a God or a higher power because, it would be too busy trying to see everything at once that it would not have time to see one specific person for a problem. An example of this is a school principal he doesn’t know what every single students is passing through because he is too busy in other major problems. I don’t know what happens after a person dies. I think that it matters if there is happiness after a person die because the way the person knows that there is something else after the person dies and its not only nothing. An example of this when a person not lives their fullest and thy have the hope that there is another life but there isn’t and the person did not took the risk. I think it is possible for a person to crate a meaning to their lives because the give themselves courage to keep living what’s left of their lives. An example of this is person who is diagnosed that they are going to die but they make a purpose to like which gives them hope to keep living. If I could create my own purpose for my life I would say to be a criminal lawyer would be my purpose my goal.

What’s the Use? An Event Without Purpose
Something that I had to do and it seem to have no purpose was that I had to take an English class when I was in school, when I was in fourth grade, I had to take the class because all the students did not knew English so I had to review everything I knew. I had to take that class because there was no other option that I had, because the teacher did not want me to do anything different because it would look if she had preference for one student. I did not had any choice the only choice that I had was to take the class or take the class. If I had not taken the class I would have not practiced what I already knew. I fell frustrated when I was stuck in that class because I saw how students where frustrated and for me it was really easy.

What is Truth?
The truth is some statement that proves something is real and not false. Is something that that is real and that no one is lying or making false statements. It is possible to know if something is truth because there is some kind of evidence that supports it and it’s not only a thought or an opinion. There is a way to know if the statement is true or if it’s just an opinion and it’s the Socratic Method in which a person can see if their statement is true. There is difference between and opinion and what is true because and opinion is what a person think, it how the feels towards something, and the belief that something is true and knowledge it is that the person is really sure and he can prove it and sustain that position that the argument is true and not be undecided about his belief. We cannot trust our minds if something is true because sometimes the situations or the truth is not real, it’s just a false statement. The one that we should trust is our instincts because it tells us and we have the feeling that something is not true. It has happen many times where people say something is true or a situations where it looks that it is the truth and everyone believes that but there is a person who feels that’s not right but the people ignore him/her but at the end the truth comes out and it’s show that the person who had a feeling was right. We cannot only trust our mind but our feeling also to know if something is true or false

Love survey
My definition of love is a strong feeling that a person feels for an other, it’s a feeling that is shared by two people. I believe that love is real because love is what holds two people together think it is possible to know if a person is in love because they start to act different and people even notice it. The person cannot stop thinking of the person they love; they always want to be together. I don’t think that a person chooses who to love because the love that a person feels only appears we don’t decide when we wan to fall in love and when we do decide to fall in love. There is a difference between falling in love and being in love, because when a person is falling in love they are barley feeling a feeling for a person and when a person falls in love they already have that feeling clear they already know what they are feeling for the person. I don’t think that their such a thing as true love because a person may say that they found their true love but you see that person in a couple of year and they are with another person, so I don’t think that true love does exists. I don’t rally think that there is a way to know to find out if a person really love you because they could be laying, or something so there is no way to know if a person loves you. I don’t think that a person can love two people at the same time because I consider that as attraction. I do think that there is connection between love and romance because if there is no love can’t be any romance and sex can be related to love but it also is not related to love. Love can be blind because a person may not see the reality that they live in, they may not see how the person really is. If a person wants to get more out of love they have to put in more to love, it’s not possible to put a little effort on love and expect a lot. Love fade or die if the person does not take care of making feel the person loves or if the person is hurt constantly. Love cannot conquer everything, there are problems and situations that love cannot conquer. Men and women see love the same but the explain it different at the end they mean the same thing.

Fate or Free will?
I believe in free will and in fate at the same time. I believe in fate because when I was small I was sick and apparently I was pretty bad. One day my mom worried because I was bad, and she took me to the hospital. At the hospital they told her that if she did not brought me to the hospital, the next day I would be dead. So I do believe in fate because if it was free will would be dead because for my free will I have not gotten there because I was to small and I would have not know how sick I was. So I think that all that had to do with fate.

PERSONAL STATEMENT
My name is Jessica Lucas. I was born on November 5, 1990, in Chico California. My childhood was the best one. I passed through different situation in my life, when I was 5 years old I was in the hospital because the found pulmonia in my system. At first I was living in Oregon but then me and my family when to Mexico to see my grama but they my dad decided that it was better to study Spanish. So I did elementary in Tijuana and part of my middle school then I when to La Presa middle school. A mentor that I had in middle school was Miss Duran. She helped me plan my High school schedule and she helped me with problems that I had at that time.
A major obstacle that I passed trough was tat in eight grade when I started to attend La Presa Middle school, when it was difficult for me to speak with other people, because I could not sustain a conversation as very hard for me but with the help of my teacher and my friends they helped me by speaking to me in English and encouraging to not give up. My favorite activities now are to run, listen to music. The clubs I belong to an academy called AOIT I also do cross country and track and field. Some accomplishment that I have gotten is diplomas and medals in different classes. My favorite activities in school are, AOIT (Academy of Information Technology) and cross country and track and field. The experiences that have made me a better person where having obstacle in my life.
I still hope to accomplish in the rest of my time of high school is to graduate, go to college and transfer to a law school. My career goals in to be a criminal lawyer. I know that it’s going to be hard but it’s my personal challenge. I see my self in ten as a lawyer working in a case.

“What is Identity?”
I define the word self as one person, as a singular person. I think that self is located somewhere in the body of a human being. I When talking about the world “find yourself “I think that find yourself is to know you, is a person who tries to fond how she/he is form the inside and form the outside. I think that to find how a person is can be hard, but it takes some time to be able to figure it out, but it is possible to find ourselves, because a person may know how they are but they found out they are different sometimes. Time can change the identity of a person, because the identity can be shaped through out time and the situations the person have been living through, because I’ not the same person or have the same identity 15 years ago, or 10 years ago, my identity changes every day that passes because I live different challenges that change my life. They can cause good changes in my identity or a bad effect toward my identity. I think that identity is based on my mind the way I think and the memories that are hold in my brain. I think that the mind has mostly everything to do with my identity because there’s where my feeling are hold, and in my memory are all the challenges that I have passed through, and also the mind is the one that controls the body it tells how to react and what to do. I think if I could change something to no be me would be my childhood, I think that if my childhood was different I would have a different identity because I could happen that I would be a better person I it would have turn out to be a disaster. I think that identity is not a story because a person already has, identity but with the passed of the years it was shaped, through the different situation that the person passed trough’s think that we define our identity and not other people because the situation change our identity but the people may say how we need to be put they cannot make us have that identity it’s our choice how we want to be. I’m Jessica Lucas and what makes me are my family, beliefs, religion, and friends. I know who I am because, I see myself everyday and I act in a certain way every day of my life.
