Analysis: Why We Should Quitt School
Whether people/I should quit school.
The issue analyzed by this paper is whether people/I should quit school because they think is a waste of time. For example, I have friends who have told me that they want to drop out of college due to the fact that their jobs they have and also because school is a waste of time for them. It is really tough to whether decide to quit school due to a job or because it is a waste of time so I wonder if whether I should quit school?
Bentham argues about the pleasures and how we might or might not be hurting. He states “It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do.” (Bentham PowerPoint). What this means is that we all know what we have to do and what we think …show more content…
He has theories and one of his quotes for categorical imperative is “Act only on that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law” (Kant 105). What he argues about his quote is that if you want someone or others to do good, then you first will have to do well to them. You think first before doing your actions, and you begin to do your actions later. One example would be my first year in college. I was still undecided of what major I wanted. I then started thinking if I should just quit school and get a job, or should I stay in school and continue my education. As I asked myself that question, I began to think about the consequences of quitting in school and not quitting. By quitting school, I would have lack of education, and also won’t have a high paying job. If I stay in school and not quit, we then see that by staying in school will result in a better education. I will also get a good job with better payment. I also thought about the influences I would give to my brothers of quitting or not quitting school. There is good and bad for quitting and not quitting school. The point of view that came up to my head was that how each of us create our own universal law. Universal law is your own law and how it can affect everyone around you. So he thinks that by thinking first about anything we want, …show more content…
Just because I have friends that quit school because they were lazy and due to work doesn’t mean that I too will quit. We all have our own Universal laws and our goals to achieve. I discovered that you think first before the actions come later through the point that Kant made. You also will learn to do good first to anyone and they will do the same thing. If you respect and do the right things, then people will also respect you and know that you are a well human being. This also goes for when thinking first and actions come later. The way we think is also part of who we are. If you think smart and positive things like staying in school and not quitting, a reward which will be a good education and will earn a lot of money. Mill points out about how a plant needs water, fertilizer, and sun to survive, but if any of those 3 are added too much, then the plant will die. This made me realize that with the people we hang out with are the way we are. I realized that I was hanging out with the wrong people and I was starting to think about dropping and quit school. By quitting school, we then will have trouble finding a job and lack of education. My chart analysis grand totals came out to be all negative.
