The issue analyzed by this paper is whether people/I should quit school because they think is a waste of time. For example, I have friends who have told me that they want to drop out of college due to the fact that their jobs they have and also because school is a waste of time for them. It is really tough to whether decide to quit school due to a job or because it is a waste of time so I wonder if whether I should quit school?

He has theories and one of his quotes for categorical imperative is “Act only on that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law” (Kant 105).

The way we think is also part of who we are. If you think smart and positive things like staying in school and not quitting, a reward which will be a good education and will earn a lot of money. Mill points out about how a plant needs water, fertilizer, and sun to survive, but if any of those 3 are added too much, then the plant will die. This made me realize that with the people we hang out with are the way we are. I realized that I was hanging out with the wrong people and I was starting to think about dropping and quit school.
