I have to say that I haven’t really thought about this at all. I believe there is a higher power and believe in integrity and good moral values though we all have our faults and shortcomings. I’m not sure I believe one version of the purpose or first cause of the universe and have always been willing to view other’s ideas, thoughts, and beliefs in this area with an open mind along with a healthy dose of skepticism. This area of philosophy and maybe most areas to me are personal. I am a shy person by nature and tend toward observation and the willingness to see other sides of a discussion. I do not believe that I am an expert or know everything. We all learn something new every day even if it is small. I really try to make decisions in my life that will be good for myself and my family’s happiness and wellbeing. I believe in being honest and as fair as possible, which we all know there are shades of fairness not just a 50/50 split. I don’t really like politics so my views are my own and don’t generally share my thoughts in that arena willingly as political views are opinions based on facts that can be biased and too personally charged. I want to live in a world with acceptance and respect for my personal beliefs. I don’t judge other people and expect the same though I am continually let down, I refuse to lose hope.

In narrative format discuss the key facts and critical issues of the life, crimes, and conviction of Aileen Wuornos.
1. Given her life circumstances do you believe that her life circumstances were ultimately a product of her free will? If so, to what extent could we claim that her freedom was at least limited by factors beyond her control?
2. To what extent might her "choices" - to be promiscuous, to engage in underage drinking, to act criminally - have been determined for her, given the sexual and verbal abuse to which she was subjected as a child?
3. If Aileen Wuornos' behaviors were at least in part, a product of her early life experiences and formative development, should she still be regarded as morally blameworthy and legally accountable for her actions?

This discussion board is called Overrated/Underrated. This is a bit of a twist on the reviews we did last week—like and dislike as argument. In this activity, there are six categories: movies, television, books, music, restaurants, and other. Your job is to come up with an overrated and an underrated item for each category and at least one sentence to defend your ranking. The great thing about this activity is that it really drives home the point that it all comes down to your criteria, your defense, in this kind of argument. Have fun with it. I have posted mine as well.
