Blog 3 - What Social / Moral Principles do you find compelling and why? How do these principles fit with the personal principles you identified in Blog 2? Do they conflict at all? Do you think you can live according to both? How will you go about doing so? i.e. Prioritize them? Adopt specific ones for specific contexts?

I liked Existentialism because it makes the person responsible of their own growth and helps them take responsibility for such growth without having room to blames external factors. I believe that it helps us take a better look at what we are doing to make our life better and how we impact the world not the other way around.

In blog 2 I said that I have learned the most from my own experiences and that they have shaped and guided my life. I take honor in not looking at what society is doing to make my choices in life but to do what I feel is the right thing to do not always the most comfortable or what other would like to do or be. Overall I do not believe that they necessarily conflict but it is difficult to be your own person and to go by what you should do and not what you want to do all the time. It is hard to take personal responsibility and to go through with it. 

I think that I can live according to both to me they are more alike than they are opposites. I think that I can live by these principles by always remembering what I stand for and not going by what others want, not blaming or worrying about what others do or don't do and taking responsibility for what I do. I would prioritize them by looking at my life and seeing how I have let society, religion or any other influence shape my life.
