"Oppression never occurs between equals"
This line impacted me the most, because it had the most truth and meaning to it. People who see each other as equals, never talk down or treat someone as if they are less and give them the respect the deserve.

There is nothing equal to human creativity, human caring and human will.

This impacted me because its not just then creativity, caring and will that matters, its that its us humans that matter. We all can care for each other.

"We can help one another by trusting that others,too, are fully human."

This quote impacted me because it helped me realize that we must trust each other in order to advance in today's society. Nobody is better or worse than each other.

"though we keep moving away from each other we haven't lost the need to be in a relationship" I believe this is true because every human being needs at least that one person that they can count on and talk to to be happy.

'most people are exhausted, cynical , and focused only on self-protection.'
This quote describes most people in school today. This describes our 'senioritis' and how we want to finish high school quickly and move on. We stopped worrying about others and do everything ourselves.

"oppression never occurs between equals"
this is a fact that people often overlook that need to be brought to light. Oppression happens so often that it has a social norm. This needs to be changed. We are all equal.

"In this web of life, nothing lives alone." That line in particular stood out the most because it really applies to everyone. No one is alone and we matter to each other. It impacted me because whenever I feel alone, I know someone is out there caring for me. It can be anyone.

I believe that all people have a heart and that with compassion and the willingness to listen, we can open and warm up the hearts of even the coldest person. What impacted me the most in the section was when Wheatley said that "We have a great need to rely on the fact of human goodness" and I think that's true. I believe that people are good and that we should place faith and hope in one another. This section helped me reaffirm my beliefs and give me new ones.

"We can't get there alone, we can't get there without each other"

This quote has impacted me in ways that have shown me that we need to work with one another in order to achieve our goals. Sometimes doing things by ourselves is simply not enough. We have to realize that sometimes being selfish will not take us anywhere. I believe that if we work together then we can achieve our goals. Everything works better if we stop being selfish and begin to rely on one another.

"We can help one another by trusting that others,too, are fully human."

This quote impacted me because it helped me realize that we have to trust one another in order to survive in this world, because without trust nothing will work. There will be always doubts and it will cause more problems.We should respect each other and realize that we are all equal, and no one is better or worse than the rest of us. This line really impacted me because it feels good knowing that i could trust someone, and they could trust me too. This works well in relationships.

This quote showed me that it is in our nature to be together, which makes me believe that people are not able to live a fulfilling life not being with others. People are together because they are meant to be together.

This quote impacted me the most because I never understood why oppression exists. This quote tells since everyone is equal, there is no reason for any oppression to exist, and all the inequality among people are created by people.

" We can do the impossible, learn and change quickly, and extend instant compassion to those in distress. "

This line stood out to me because it reminds me that humans CAN do things that might seem impossible, but we often forget that in the face of negative situations. People need to believe in themselves, as well as others around them. We all need a bit of goodness in our lives.

"Who I think you are will determine what I'm willing to do on your behalf." This quote explains a lot about how willing each person is when trusting another. This connects to the quote "Never judge a book by its cover." because its all about your perception that blinds you from the truth. Some people are great on the inside despite having a not so great outside. But everyone can learn something from another and deep down, everyone is good.

Vivian L. period 5

"You can't hate someone whose story you know."

This quote showed me that I shouldn't be judging others on their wrong doings because they might be going through something really bad. We have to be more understanding with others because we don't know their story.

"People are literally clamoring for attention, and they'll do whatever it takes to be noticed"

Attention seems to be the one thing everyone needs. Everyone needs attention to feel important in the world we live in. Everyone is willing to do anything to fit in with the cool crowd or to stand out enough to feel cool themselves.

One quote from Wheatley's book that I find interesting is "Our natural state is to be together". I think this applies to everyone. I believe that everyone does not want to be alone, but instead surrounded by people. Anyone who says otherwise has to be lying, because the feeling of loneliness is enough to drive people insane.

"We want to be reminded about human goodness"

Naturally, people hunger for stories about human goodness. These stories help people realize that we are all the same, and this fact is what makes us human.

When you listen to the story of others, you will understand why they do the things that they do. Listening is not just hearing, it is actually understanding and sympathizing. Everybody has a story, it just may not be told.

"Sometimes, to pass the time here, we taught each other ballroom dancing".
This quote impacted me tremendously. It is completely amazing how these individuals made the best out of the situation they were in. Most often, when I am found in a difficult situation it is difficult for me to see any positivity. My problems are not even close to the problems they lived through; therefore, it has given me a new optimistic way of viewing things.

I believe that we all have a specific destination to reach in life. But we all need support and motivation from our surroundings in order to help us get through and reach our goals; and because of this belief, the quote "You are not alone, we will get through this together" aspired me.

After all, we are all dependent upon each other.

I believe that fear is a big reason for people failing at life. People are too afraid to go out side of our social standards box and live life how they want it to be. Everyone see's in movies how people have big success stories and how they go from zero to hero. It is all possible, but it won't be if you do everything exactly like everyone else, and also if you dont stand out to others.

This line stood out to me because even in our world today it's obvious what kind of people actually perform courageous acts. It's usually those who because in others and believe that other people have a good in them. People who believe in human badness don't care for others and assume that because every person has an evil within them, there's no need to perform any courageous acts for others.

The reality of this quote impacted me, because it is completely true that this generation treats one another as if they were machines. Instead of being compassionate and caring, too many people spend their days being cold-hearted and only watching out for themselves.
Human goodness is about the only thing that I believe will serve as the beacon of light in these dark times.

The new ideas in this section I liked a lot. It helps tie in what we learned to people, which are you know, the focus of most philosophical banter, including most of the stuff in there.

The main idea is that humans are worth a lot, which is definitely true, and while it didn't say that people are equal up front, I do believe it emphasised that all have great value. When people are given power as shareholders, they turn out to be worth a lot, which is again, definitely true. Even when people are oppressed it can be reasoned and demonstrated that they are really something great. Others are always "fully human"; they never are not feeling and reasoning, only possibly powerless. Also, it gave what is a reminder at this point, that when people treat each other as human, it truly helps everyone, and following the logic of previous sections, great things can be done. Transcendental things.

My favourite quote is probably: "Asking us to notice if we believe in human goodness is not just a philosophical question" and human goodness is shown to be a part of human greatness.

I believe that people shows up in my life for a reason. The reason sometimes can hurt me and sometimes can makes me became happy. But the reason is not always easy to be find out, people must finds out the reason by knowing each other and spend time together. When the reason is find, the person might be a important friend of yours and family you love.

"Just when we need each other most, we've forgotten who we are."
This quote made me believe that we are changing. We have forgotten who we really are. We are all equal and should be there for one another.

"Courageous acts aren't done by people who believe in human badness."

If you think negatively, good things won't come your way. Thinking positively may lead you to the things you want in life. You can choose to either receive the good things in life or the bad things.

"Good relationships are the key to happiness"
I believe this to be true because communication through relationships is an essential skill that all humans possess and it gives us the feeling that we are not alone in this world.

"We can't get there alone, we can't get there without each other"
This post impacted me by explaining that humans are independent, yet dependent in a sense that we have original thought but are influenced by others so easily. This reliance of others shows the social abilities of human nature.

"But listening creates relationships"
I agree because everyone wants to be heard and the people that take the time to listen are people that care about what you have to say. When people listen to you and share their feelings it builds your relationship which is important

I believe that everyone needs to be heard and finding people that will hear you out is hard to find. Most people have no problem talking, but they do have a problem listening. Everyone should take the time to hear people out

I believe that "people cannot be discounted or used only for someone else's benefit". I strongly agree with this statement because I feel that it is wrong to use someone for your own selfish wants and desires, and that if we view others as our equals, then we can start making changes in how we view our society as a whole.

I am willing to notice that "our natural state is to be together". I feel that it is natural to want to be unified and feel a sense of belonging when you're among your peers. It is not uncommon to feel a lack of connection due to a lack of communication, so in a way we are all connected a share the same struggle. But we can change that if we turn to one another and listen and develop tolerance to what others believe in.

"I don't need you to fix me. I just need you to listen."
I believe that everyone just wants someone to talk to, to hear them out. They don't need to prove anything, they just need to talk. Everyone has something to say, and sometimes just sitting and sincerely listening to someone can make a big difference. You don't need to agree, you just need to listen.

"Without the belief of human goodness, there is no hope in each other."

This statement impacted me because the badness that everyone sees through media or even in real-time scenarios causes us to think that there is no hope for goodness for the world. We need to believe is that there IS good within humans. We need to trust and have hope in one another and ignite goodness in our hearts and goodness in everyone's hearts around us.

"Listening creates relationships."
This quote impacted me because I truly believe in it. I feel that now since social media has become a big part of our lives, we lose our social skills. We don't really talk and listen to one another. I feel that listening and getting to know one another is essential.

"We know less about each other and we assume more" This quote is something that holds true to our recent times. As we grow up being taught our own cultures, others too are being taught theirs. Today in the modern world, we use these cultures and stereotypes to judge others making assumptions of who they are. I believe that this assumptive approach in getting to know people is hurting our ability to communicate because we sometimes decide to avoid others based on assumptions even though if we just talked to them, they actually have a different story to tell.

"Our natural state is to be together."

This quote means that we're used to being together. When we aren't with anyone we're lonely and its depressing. Everyone needs to have people around them.
