Ambition- it is the strong desire to achieve a goal usually through hard work and persistence. Ambition is usually accommodated by success and determination. People are driven by ambition to attain certain objections.
ex. My brother's ambition was to attain his "L" license.
ex. My ambition for this year is to be able to have good grades in all my classes.
Fate and Free Will- ability to think, behave, speak and make decisions freely and voluntarily. Free will is when a person is able to control their life without having many limitations or conditions that would restrict them from doing so. Meanwhile fate is determined by circumstances that has happened in the past.
ex. He went to the movies without consent but of his free will.
ex. Her fate was determined by her parents.
Appearance and Reality- appearance tends to be what people want to see rather than what it actually is which is defined by reality. Things appear differently to a variety of people because of their individual mindsets so then the appearances tend to be more biased within each person. Reality defines what something really is with fair judgment.
ex. The building appeared taller than its actual height.
ex. I wish Narnia became a reality and not just a story.
I disagree with this particular statement because I believe it is an overstatement of how evil people can be. Individuals are not born unconditionally evil or violent. The choices they decide and situations they are put in indicates the nature of their behavior. Some of the behaviors of individuals are not all evil or violent therefore I believe they do not have to constantly fight to stay civil.
The human race is destined to destroy itself. I disagree because we have come a very long way in adapting to a more complex way of thinking. Currently people are rather more open-minded and less traditional about a variety of things so we can prevent such tragedy.
Rules and punishments are absolutely necessary if we are to maintain a civilized society. Yes I believe so because without order, our society might turn into chaos. If there are no rules people can do whatever they want and that freedom can be taken advantage of and abused. People like the idea of having the liberty to do what they want but there are restrictions and consequences towards that privilege to prevent danger.
We are our worst enemy. I agree because most conflicts usually occur between a person and another and if not resolved it can turn to be the worst. The saying "we are our worst critique" does hold some truth within each individual because everyone knows what they are capable of doing. It is just up to us to decide what to do.
