1.The original meaning of the word philosophy comes from the
Greek roots philo- meaning "love" and -sophos, or "wisdom."
When someone studies philosophy they want to understand
how and why people do certain things and how to live a good
life. In other words, they want to know the meaning of life. Add
the suffix -er to philosophy, and you get a word for someone
whose job it is to think these big thoughts. philosophy is the
study of fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and
existence, especially when considered as an academic
discipline.
2. I can easily say that i'm a human person because a human
person is a living being that contains a real and existing power
to direct its own development toward fulfillment through perfect,
unconditional, and infinite Truth, Love, Goodness, Beauty, and
Unity, and will do so if all the proper conditions are met.
3.Body, Mind and Spirit. The three aspects of the self are
identified and discussed as separate entities; they are
integrated into a whole and make up the total human being. ...
They create a union between the body, mind, and spirit,
allowing for more self-control and assisting in physical
conditioning and mental awareness.
4.Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change
without constraint. Something is "free" if it can change easily
and is not constrained in its present state. In philosophy and
religion, it is associated with having free will and being without
undue or unjust constraints, or enslavement, and is an idea
closely related to the concept of liberty. A person has the
freedom to do things that will not, in theory or in practice, be
prevented by other forces.
5. Yes i believe, because free will in humans is the power or
capacity to choose among alternatives or to act in certain
situations independently of natural, social, or divine restraints.
Free will is denied by some proponents of determinism and
freewill is like "if you want it you can get it."
6.I think not, basically because there isn't a way to know if it's
predetermined or not, so I choose to believe what option makes
me feel better. Even if I think that, deep down I have this
thought: we are basically chemical machines, and what
happens during a chemical reaction is predetermined (mostly, I
think). So, everything that appears random, or the result of
conscious decision by us or someone else.
7.The basic reasons you should use a weighting function are:
Weighting for accuracy: giving greater weight to more accurate
in important measurements and less weight to measurements
known to be less precise. Compensating for bias: giving greater
weight to measurements known to be less biased.
8.Well, actually yes, because every decision you make is life or
death. Every single one leads to one result or the other – even
the seemingly insignificant ones.When you decide to do
something you love, you choose to live. when you decide to do
something you don’t, you choose to die. It really is that simple.
Life is filled with daily decisions and lots of them are tied to
these things we call responsibilities.
9.A society, or a human society, is a group of people involved
with each other through persistent relations, or a large social
grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory,
typically subject to the same political authority and dominant
cultural expectations.

A. Agrarian society, or agricultural society, is any community
whose economy is based on producing and maintaining
crops and farmland. Another way to define an agrarian
society is by seeing how much of a nation's total
production is in agriculture.
B. Industrial society is a society driven by the use of
technology to enable mass production, supporting a large
population with a high capacity for division of labour.
C. Education is a major institution in most societies. ...
Sociologists of education examine many parts of
educational systems interaction, classrooms and peer
groups, school organisations and national and
international systems of education.
D. Virtual community is a social network of individuals who
interact through specific social media, potentially crossing
geographical and political boundaries in order to pursue
mutual interests or goals.
