(1) Find someone to have a philosophical conversation. This person can be your friend, family member, parent, flat/roommate, someone in your church, the person sitting next to you on the plane, etc. Whoever it is, this person cannot know that you are doing a philosophy assignment.

(2) Pick a topic that examines, reflects on, if not challenges some of your basic beliefs, assumptions, and/or values. I recommend that you choose a topic that matters to your life and may influence how you live it. It would be even better if it is related to some of the things that we have discussed in the course, but it is not necessary.

(3) The following are some sample questions. You are encouraged to find a topic that matters to you.
“Does being moral/ethical make one happy?”
“How important is morality/ethics in our lives?”
“Can reason tell us whether God exists?”
“Does morality come from God?”
“Are we morally obligated to sacrifice our interests to help others in great need? If so, how much do we need to sacrifice our interests?”
“Does love really conquer all?”
“Should we favour those who are close to us over strangers?”
“What are the bounds of the freedom of speech?”
