question 17

Essay

Pick one of the sixteen questions from Chapter 1 and interview two to four people (family, friends, acquaintances, fellow workers, etc.)about how they would answer the question. Try to be active in the interview process-for example, ask them questions like "What do you mean by that?" "Why do you believe that?"and "Why is that important?" Be sure to take notes or to record the interviews. Then write an essay describing what you learned about your interviewees' beliefs and values.   Highlight points of agreement and disagreement between them. Finally, say what you learned about your own philosophical convictions through this experience.
