1. If a person believes in the idea of moral nihilism, which refers to the meta-ethical view that

there is no moral truth nor the idea of right and wrong, perhaps he/she would tell that the statement

is false. For a simple human being like me, who have witnessed different cruelty within this world,

I would say that the statement is FALSE. There will always be moral truth at all, and things can

be distinguished whether it is right or wrong. We, people, are the ones who created the moral truth

and the standards of right or wrong, and we all based it on how something could contribute for the

greater good of the society. For instance, during war, a leader upholds his country and defends it

with all his might which is good but, the war itself should always be considered as wrong because

it causes chaos and harm for innocent people.

2. The statement tells us that we, human being, were born with nothing but truths that are yet to

be discovered as we go through the journey of our lives. The environment and the society are one

of the major factors that mold them and, help the in their task to conquer their fate and find their

own truth in their life. As men go beyond developing their cognitive skills, they’ll start to

understand that being a human being means that they have the natural rights to experience freedom

in this world, that they have the right to live, and that they have the right to own things that they

deserved to be achieved. All these rights are considered as crucial to every man. The natural flow
within the society could be disrupt if people would suppress other’s rights of living their own life,

having their freedom, and having their own properties.

3. Every one of us should pursue their self-interests as it is considered as the best way to promote

the common good within a society. People are being more passionate when they do things that

they love. As well, things could always turn into something beautiful when most of the people are

doing their tasks that they considered as their forte. For instances, let us all imagine if the father

of Muhammad Ali forced him to become a singer and the father of Michael Jackson forced him to

become a boxer, imagine the impact it would give to the world if these persons followed their

fathers and not their interests. If these examples would give a huge impact to us, then it would

bring a disaster if most of us would let ourselves be influenced by other’s mind set and not our

own.
