The Pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardner and Quincy Troupe entails the life story of Christopher Gardner. Like other books that movies are made from‚ The Pursuit of Happyness movie was very different than the book.

As my first point I will discuss the tensions between Galileo’s individual pursuit of the truth and the church‚ in what can only be described as an authoritarian society. The subject for debate I will be discussing is whether it is against ethical conduct to challenge such widely held religious beliefs in the name of science. As religion lay at the centre of society in Rome‚ the question is brought up whether people can be morally sound if they go against their religion for any reason. However‚ as
