Civil Disobedience
First of all
I will say that I agree with martin Luther King position about civil disobedience,
also when a law is made to purpose to downgrade certain race than I believe it
is morally justified not that follow that immoral law. Also there should be no
law that is against any people base on their races, religion and genders. I also agree with St.Augustine when he states
that an unfair or unjust law is no law. Finally I agree that protesting and
non-violent riot is the right message for the civil disobedience.

Individual and the state
I agree with John Stuart
Mills and Karl Marx philosophical standpoints on freedom. I also agree that we
should have our own freedom to choose whatever decisions we make as long as we
are not being forced or harm. I agree with Mills that we should have freedom
with less government involved. I also agree with Marx that we should have few
certain laws to help the people from harming themselves or others as well, also
agree that few laws from the government will be benefit such as help people
find jobs. Finally I believe that both theories will be a great benefit for our
nation in a great way, as long as we have freedom and have a law not harming
another individual.

WEEK 9 Buddhism
I don’t think Buddhism teaching will be follow in United
State people, because many of us are trying to have a successful life, such as
reaching our goals, getting better jobs, and more money, basically its desires
for money maybe for other its fame and
power as well. The lifestyle that we have now is not possible to give up and follow
Buddhism belief, and those desires are selfish. Anyway I do agree with Buddhism
teaching because they have a strong moral teaching enlightenment, what I love Buddhism
is that they do meditation and get rid of any negative thoughts or energy and
focus on our mental health and mind, so
if anyone who practice Buddhism will have spiritually mind and not only think
about money or fame. It also helps them to open their inner selves.

Cosmological and Design Argument
First of all philosophy focused on who we are or why are we
here by study, theories and explains more by
knowledge and experience So when doing those philosophies thinking there
will be many different arguments or agreement.
The cosmological argument is about
that god is the creation of the universe, so the “first cause and the “first uncaused”
is cause by god. This theory is convincing for me because I believe one of the monotheism
religion and I was raised to believe in it (if I didn’t was raised to believe
in monotheism religion I might have different feeling about the cosmological argument).
As a believer of the monotheism religions
I have to believe that god create this world and our self. Religion has strong
influenced on the people for many years and it still continues to be in people

Blog Question #6 artificial intelligence
I agree with john Searle that computers are
not really intelligent and that they are just “simulate”
intelligence. First of all, we human programmed the computer’s mind based
on what we know from our knowledge or life such as education, health and etc. Human
mind is an amazing tool of understanding which don’t require power like
computer needs. Computer needs power to be intelligent. Human mind is best than
computer in gaining its knowledge as for computer, we put our knowledge in the
computer and that’s how computers gain its knowledge from. The computer uses
our knowledge to do their tasks such as search, use mathematic calculator and etc.
basically we are responsible for the computer performs and the intelligence
they use.
I
agree that human are being programmed by society and education to perform certain
tasks. From early age of human being such as age of 1or 4 we are thought how to
act, what language to speak and how to speak and do basic stuff such as combs
our hair brush, our teeth and how to cloth our self. So that’s how we get our
intelligence from. Let say if we didn’t get programmed by our society or our
education we would be less intelligent such as a cave man!
Finally,
as for my opinion, I believe we should limit knowledge that computers are getting or ever create an “emotion
feeling” for them because I believe if the computer knows our secrets or our
weaknesses it might take advantage against us for example, the movies, I, Robot
and Terminator.

Dualism and Physicalism
Dualist is a belief that
Descartes agreed on, it mean that physical thing such as our body and the non
physical thing such as our mind does not have the same property and cannot be
explained by scientist. Which mean that the mind is a separate substance from
our body. As for the physicalism their belief is that the body in one physical
substance including the brain and mind which mean in their theory is that mind and the
body are not separate.
Descartes agree with dualist because first of all he is a religious man which was convincing for him to believe in, because all the religion theology it said that when the body died the mind travel to the afterlife.
Overall I agree with the dualist theory because I know mind can do play trick on us such as do unexplainable thing. Also I agree that our mind is inside the brain and tells our body what actions should it used. Finally I see mind as a soul and the body as a tools for mind to use.

Pragmatism And Feminist Epistemology
I agree that pragmatism and feminist epistemology do challenge the view of knowledge as a detached, intellectual activity. I believe that knowledge help you to be succeed in life and knowledge is something that we gain from the experiences, and use that experiencese as education lesson for us. its can be from learning from experiences or experiences (such as communication experiences) from someone who told you about it. Finally as for feminist philosophers, i understand what they were saying that any belief or truths are not true for everyone, and Male philosophers shouldn't just think about one human nature and speak for both sexes.
