Sometimes, the society would give us the power to enhance ourselves or destroy others. The word society is a big, wide word that we can us. There are many society existing start from the smallest to biggest, from public to private and from known to unknown society. It is difficult to say what exactly is the reason behind the flows and trends of the world.

Can you see the outgoing problems in the society right now? There are plenty of them to enumerate because it is depend on what kind of society you are belong. According to sociologists, a society is a group of people with common territory, interaction, and culture. Social groups consist of two or more people who interact and identify with one another.

I found some philosophical questions about society and when I review it, I know it is a good topic to answer and discuss. Philosophy involves the study of fundamental problems regarding reality, existence, reason, mind, etc., in order to gain a deeper understanding about the world we live in. Meaning, it is hard to pinpoint the origin so we just need interpret it in our way.

Is stealing ethical, if carried out in order to feed a starving family?

I remember a good movie that is the exact answer for this question. Do you remember the movie Robinhood? Well, we all know and familiar with him. He stole goods and money to rich people and give it back to the poor ones. Now, is it ethical or not? I think it is not important whether it is ethical or not because if those rich people have the guts to steal from the poor, then why don't the poor steal it back?

If the standard of living of a population steadily improves, does the wide gap between the rich and poor still matter?

When we say rich and poor, there is a distinct difference between two and that is wealth. I think it is very important to have a gap between the two because if these two flatten and meet in the graph. Who would be the one to work and pay? I don't see the purpose and goodness of equal footing in terms of wealth. I think people would not work for each other because the reason they work is because of money, the salary.

If a day is spent doing enjoyable activities instead of working, is it a day well spent or a day wasted?

There is no wasted day when you do thing is making you happy regardless of what kind of works and activities it was. Working doesn't mean your day will not be wasted because sometimes others don't want to work, but force to do it. It means the waste their day for a work that they are not happy about. I think as well spent day is when you are happy and satisfied after you have done something.

Is failing at something worse than not attempting it in the first place?

No, failure is part of a success and when you fail, it is okay. It doesn't mean you become less of a person. Not attempting to do it is worse because you don't have the courage and guts to overcome the wall in front of you. I think the best thing in failing rather than not attempting is the fact that you experience it while you are alive. We are not sure whether we are still alive tomorrow for attempting to do that thing.

Who decides what the society perceives to be right and wrong?

Let me clear this to you, we are are the society itself so who decided to be right and wrong is us. Sometimes, the most scary part of being part of the society is you are force to judge someone that you don't like to judge. Right now in the social media, we can see how broad and publicly criticizing someone because of whatever he did. We decided what he did is wrong and right, then judge him accordingly.

This is a sad part of the society right now. Even if we don't have physical war like country's war or local's war, but the new war right now is online. The war that is unstoppable and continuous to happen over and over again. Whether you are right or wrong, it doesn't matter online. What they see and what they believe is the most important thing for them.

Not attempting to do something is far worse than failing because even when we fail at something, we have gained a little bit of knowledge and can do better at that task later on, but not attempting it at all will mean we are still ignorant about that task and we will never know if we are going to excel at it or not, unless we try

when we try something, whether we fail or not, we learned something rather than fearing to do for a first attempt. we never know what will happen if we do it.

I think if you love what you are doing, you will never think that time is wasted. But of course, there are times that we enjoy and we forgot that we have responsibilities. Bottom line is everything should be balanced.

Stealing, whether it's for good cause or not, is unethical. If the rich steal from poor people and even if it's the norm, it still doesn't mean that it is right. If you go with the norm, then how are you even different from such evil-doers? It is still better to feed your family with the food that came from your sweat and hard work.

Just saying. 😊

If the rich people are takes what belongs to the poor when the poor are trying to get it back, they will say that the poor are stealing. Whereas the poor are trying to get what belongs to them.

For me, wala namang nasasayang na oras kung productive ka either sa work or activities eh. Sa activities naman marami ka pa ring matutunan at magiging healthy ka pa dahil sa mga exercises.

Social media is like a battlefield of the new generation wherever I turn to, there is always rival, hate,and anger post against the other, we should learn to filter everything so that it will not affect us.
