The principles I adhered to before entering this class consisted of things along the lines of giving people the benefit of the doubt, and treat people how I want to be treated. I believe that everyone has some sort of good in them, and to be able to see it in people is what I try to do. My principles were not taught to me, but when I look at myself I see things that I have done that are not the best in terms of morality, so when I see someone else I don’t judge them but try to understand them and relate myself to what kind of person they are. The readings in class that most stood out to me were the ones by Sartre. The idea that we exist before we find a purpose for ourselves is something really interesting to read about. Every action every human commits to is actively shaping what it means to be human, in this belief and it gives you a sort of moral responsibility to do what you think is right, not just for yourself but for everyone as a whole.
