2. What do you value in the world? How does this shape the way you think about the world and what’s happening in it? 
From my observation on myself, it seems like that I value knowledge, women's rights, and everyone is equal. 
The knowledge part makes 

me admire and be impressed of those who are intelligent and hardworking, such as scientists and some of my peers. The fact that I value women's rights is because I came from a country where the inequality between the two genders are fairly significant, and therefore I am very fond of the part of the Canadian culture that respects women. I do so by supporting all kinds of bills and events that brings benefit to women, such as abortion, helping girls in Asia to get a chance of education by donating to certain organizations, and I am a Hilary Clinton supporter.
Nevertheless, I do support all types of human rights, especially LGBTQ because 2 of my closest friends are bisexual and transgender. I've witnessed criticize and stereotypes on them, which I seriously felt sorry and furious for. 
 
3. Can you think of an example of people having competing values, which has led to conflict? What can we do to help people with differing values to live together peacefully? 
I've witnessed such thing. On Chinese social medias, conflicts are very frequent. Some people believed that when there is a rape, it is the girls fault for dressing too "attractive". Of course, this is a very controversial opinion, and lots of people were swearing and hating on each other because of their opinions. 
I think that making everyone educated and knows how to respect would be a good start. Educated will make everyone realize that people are equal and anyone is capable of doing anything, and even if they still can't accept each other's opinion, they are still able to respect one another.

2. I value lots of this in the world such as freedom, equality, respect and tolerance. This shapes the way I think about the world by allowing me to keep an open mind to what others might be going through. I really respect the people who help keep Canada safe such as our police and military who help us keep our freedom. I also feel like we are making good strides towards equality for everyone, women in many countries are treated as equals to men, people are becoming more accepting of other cultures and many countries no longer discriminate against people who are different such as those who are in the LGBTQIA+ community. So, I think that per my values the world is becoming a better place for everyone.  

3. One example of people who had conflicting values would be those who wanted segregation in the United States and those who were against segregation. Some believed that people should be separated by their culture and others realized that it was very unfair and oppressive, so they began to fight against segregation and the values behind it. A way for us all to live peacefully together is to respect everyone’s values even if you do not agree with them. You can also try to learn I bit about their values and then judge if you think they’re good or not. The most important bit thought is to know that values should all ways be respected and you still need to treat everyone kindly even if they don’t believe what you believe. Therefore, by teaching that in schools it could make people respect others values. 

 

 

2. Some things I value in this world is freedom, respect, loyalty, and love. I’m thankful to have as much freedom as I do here in Canada thanks to the Canadian military and the police force. Everyone should be respected and not be treated differently based on their color of skin, IQ or their size and shape. Everyone should be treated equally, treat people how you want to be treated. I also think loyalty is very important because lying gets you no were in life and people always end up finding out the truth so you might as well save yourself some time and tell the truth. Everyone should be loved, whether it’s family or friends. Everyone should have someone there for them, supporting them through the tough and just making life better in general. Life gets way easier when you’re laughing and being positive with a smile on your face.

3. An example of people having competing values would be WWII. Hitler and others tried destroying the Jewish culture. He also didn’t like anyone who was different, for example, someone in a wheelchair, with a disability or even wearing glasses. He only wanted to keep people with blue eyes and blonde hair. We can help people with different values live together peacefully by taking advantage of different people. For example, someone who knows how to speak French can teach someone who can only speak Spanish. Or as simple as someone teaching others an Aboriginal dish that was passed down generation to generation. Different is good because if everyone was the exact same, the world would be a boring place.

2. What do you value in the world? How does this shape the way you think about the world and what’s happening in it?
•What I value in the world is equality, kindness, love, and respect. For equality, I think that everyone should be equal no matter what gender, color of skin, or what background they have. And for kindness I think that you should be kind to others around you even if you don’t know them. For the last two which is love and respect, I think that everybody should receive love and feeling of acceptance either from your friends or family. And for the last one which is respect, I respect those who risks their lives for the safety for the people an example would be police officers. 

3. Can you think of an example of people having competing values, which has led to conflict? What can we do to help people with differing values to live together peacefully?
•An example of people having competing values would be on social media. What I’ve witnessed on sites like Instagram and other websites are that there are lots of conflicts between people. Either the conflicts are from lots of people having different opinions on something or just sharing what their thoughts are. 

•What we can do to live peacefully together is to respect others and their values. Everyone around us has different values and if we respect that then we would live peacefully and not have any conflicts and problems. Even if you don’t agree with their values at least be respectful and try to learn more about their values, keep an open mind. We should not judge them for what they value instead we should try to understand each other to get a better understanding between people. And so, teaching people at schools can make people respect other values. 

 

2.      Right now, as we can see, this world is filled with problems like wars, famine, poverty, sufferings, unparalleled natural disasters, terrorism, racism, etc. For me, the cause of all these problems is because most humans nowadays lack spiritual character. So, what I value most in this world is building spiritual character. As General Douglas McArthur said “the problem of human beings basically is theological and involves a spiritual deterioration, unimproved of human character… it must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.” He was stating that human survival depended in human character! So, in MY belief, the only solution for these problems is to grow in spiritual character by turning ourselves to God.

 

3.      Currently in some parts of America, there are conflicts between white and black people because they have competing values which leads to race wars, riots, different kind of violence and lawlessness. 

 

I can help people that have different values by being a role model to them. By showing selfless love and respect to all human race. For me selfless love is thinking about others welfare before ourselves. This is what our world needs today. 

2.) I value rights, freedom, love, friends & family, and life.  These values shape the way I think about the world and what’s happening in it because I think that Canada has come a long way from all the racism, discrimination, lack of freedom, and many other things that used to be in Canada. Canada is now a free country where anyone of any nationality, gender, age, and religion can love anyone, can work almost anywhere, travel almost anywhere, practice any religion, speak any language, eat any food, have the right to vote, to dress in any way, and have many human rights. The world is changing to be better, and I can see that because of the things I value.

3.)There have been many cases where people with competing values and opinions led to conflict. For example, some people think that abortion is wrong, because they consider it as murder, and they don’t think that people should be given the choice to stop the development of a potential human being. On the other hand, other people think that females should be able to choose what happens inside their bodies and that they should have abortion as one of their options because of many issues like listed in paragraph 1. Personally, I am not sure how this issue could be solved, but it might become less of a problem if females are only not allowed to get an abortion when their reason for abortion has no reason or thought behind it. An example could include, the gender of the baby, or the nationality of the baby.  

1.     Of the issues listed above, the most important to me is that is that there should be no censorship in video games or movies. These censorships put a cap on what we can joke about, represent and talk about. I understand that people want to be politically correct, but censoring certain things is a very subjective line. What exactly is inappropriate to joke about? What qualifies as ‘more important’ then other things? The line can’t be drawn without bias and therefore, retaliation. My philosophy on this subject is that either everything should be ok to make fun of, or nothing is. I value the very foundation of our country, the freedom of speech, and how it should be non-negotiable. There is no room for censorship in the media, it should be honest. If we want people to form their own opinions, based on fact, we must expose them to everything, even if it represents a point of view that you don’t agree with, or makes fun of something you like.

2. What do you value in the world? How does this shape the way you think about the world and what’s happening in it? 

2. I value a few different things, but I think that the most important is that I believe in unity. As a well organised and strategic country, we could accomplish anything. But, when we let political and religious differences divide us, we let ourselves seem weak and inferior. We can’t let things like political parties and co-operation stand in the way of our government, when we can accomplish so much more as one entity and one country as one! 

I think that my perspective affects how I see the world in one large way. I can see a problem with democracy itself, the idea of having to comply to rules and being impeded by other parties. Compromise and diplomacy can greatly slow down the passing of laws and bills, if not stopping them all together! Corruption and party loyalty run rampant in all governments, from the senate to MLA’s. I see all these problems down in the States, and it is greatly distressing. If they were more motivated and more organised, they could easily impeach or stop Donald Trump, but instead they try to peacefully protest and over all make a scene. At this point, the USA is an international laughingstock. 

3. Can you think of an example of people having competing values, which has led to conflict? What can we do to help people with differing values to live together peacefully?

3.     Competing values are everywhere in history; every war is essentially just opposing values that lead to violence. People disagree, and people fight, and people die because of it. It’s just the natural order of humanity. Diplomacy always eventually dissipates into disagreement. But when people stop having opposing views, or place them aside, they can live in peace, free of argument or violence. This brings me back to my earlier point of unity, and how it is essentially the easiest and only way to create peace. With differing opinions, there is always the need to defend your opinion, or your idol. Genocide, war, segregation and extermination are all after effects of division, of being different and being weaker. 

Ans: An example of people having competing values I could thing of is the residential schools because people were trying to remove the Aboriginal people’s values and their cultures by putting the children’s into the residential schools and teaching them the Canadian and Europeans culture and religion ex. Dressing, teaching, English and French etc. we can help people with different values to live together peacefully by respecting each other and their ways of living and believing in their own religion, culture etc. and also the equal right  by everyone should have the equal and same right as the other person.
