What I learned from philosophy is that you can always debate a subject so that "wrong" is "right" and "right" is "wrong".  So philosophy won't tell you whether an issue is one way or another.   

Philosophy can tell you how to bring in other factors to support your side.  Religious beliefs, laws, science, selflessness, selfishness, personal beliefs.  And since we are all unique, thinking individuals, it's unlikely we will all come to the same conclusion. 

Knowing this makes it easier to accept another person's point of view.  That is why I respect all of your beliefs, even if they are different from my own.  Every one of you have expressed your beliefs so well, and I feel much more enlightened to know them. 

It is true, if a person chooses to live or die effects more then themselves.   But the opposite is true too.  A person dies, family and friends suffer.  A person lives, the person suffers but family and friends are happy.  Should life be voted on by the majority?  Or does it belong to the individual?  Both sides should, of course, discuss it.  But if you make a person stay because you  fear the loss and pain, then you are putting the ill person in a very difficult decision.  Of course they are not going to want to upset you.  Not only will they be sick, they feel guilty for their thoughts.  That's not a nice way to spend, what might be, the last days of your life.

Oh I love philosophy. I remember the course that I took was very interesting (but I had to lug a three thousand page book with me for every class..). You're right, through it, i you can find facts to support your ideas. In fact it goes hand in hand with Logic or Critical Thnking (which I'm studying now). However, the only problen with the class was that people would present ideas and someone woudl disagree right away. As a result the speaker is unable to finish what they were trying to say (this happened to me). However this was only one class.  I'm sure others have had more positive experiences in regards to this.

No...the idea of using philosophical method is not essentially to turn things upside down and to confuse people but to find the truth in a matter (any matter) that cannot be solved by scientific method. Often such questions that are important, tend to be very complex ones, and we have been forced to form some preliminary opinion about them. So, when we begin a methodical philosophic examination, we at first usually end up refuting those beliefs. But it's just the beginning: to put it very simply, we continue to form hypotheses and try to find counterarguments to them as long as is necessary- as long as we finally come up with something that cannot be refuted or turned upside down with our best efforts. This process, however, is usually very long (we're often talking about centuries if not of millenia) so for those who have taken just a few classes it may seem as if philosophy is just endless debating without no real point. But the point is there- the way philosophical thought progresses is just slower and very different from what we have come to expect based on our experiences on progress of empirical sciences. Philosophers always seek answers to questions- the aim is to tell eg. if something is right or wrong. The trouble is, that in great many questions the conclusion hasn't been reached yet. And, that in those questions where a conclusion has been reached, the impact of it has been so huge, that it's become a way of life- something that we don't even think that could be otherwise.

Than in a way, if one is a philosopher he or she commits to a life long search for the truth. Sometimes they may not find the answer and the truth may only be the truth in their eyes only. In the end isn't that what really counts? Our own truth?

My dance teacher must be in her 60s by now, but she is younger at heart than most of the people at my high school.  She also has very beautiful and thick salt and pepper hair.  I love it and wish she wore it down more-- she leaves it in a bun for dancing.  She also wears intricate drop earings when she dances, and isn't afraid to laugh at herself when they get in her face.  She is one of the wisest and kindest people I know.  She has to be-- she teaches kids as young as three (I was three when I started taking classes with her) to dance.  I wish the world had more people like her-- it would be a far more cheerful place.

I think this is a tough question to answer. I feel it depends on your religious beliefs, where you live, your own personal beliefs, societal pressures and many other factors. In my opinion, if women want to wear their hair short they should do so because that is who they are and not because they feel pressured into doing so or because it is easier and that is what is expected. The same goes for women with longer lengths.

When it comes to men, my feelings are similar. I love a man who can wear their hair long and be proud of who they are. I also love short hair. I love the feel of a buzz cut as well as a longer style where I can run my hands through it.

When it comes to age and women, I feel that it is solely up to the individual. I have heard and read that women of a certain age should not wear their hair long, but why? What about having long hair is bad. Maybe people say these things because of their own insecurities. Another reason I feel is that the media and others want to control where people’s money end up. If women and men are spending the money at salons keep their hair in a current trend then the media and all the others (magazines and shows) win so to speak, Not that I am against salons, but if you only do what shows and other media sources tell you then what is the point of individualism?

Everyone has to and has the choice in this country to decide what is best for them. Personally, I prefer longer hair. I love the feel of it and I love having the option to wear it down, up, in between, or to fake a short style. I have had chin-length hair in the past and I felt bored with the fact that I could only do so much with it and it always looked the same. I am in the same boat now, my hair is about shoulder length maybe a little longer, and although I can still do some things with it, I feel stuck that I cannot do elaborate updos that you can do with BSL or longer lengths of hair.

Where I attend college, most of the students, men and women, wear their hair long, at least BSL and longer. Everyone should be true to whom he/she is and if short hairstyles are your thing, rock on, if longer lengths are your treat then enjoy the journey I am sure it will be a great one.
