Living up to someone’s expectations can be an extremely grueling task. If one is too focused on the way they look‚ act‚ and talk to please someone else‚ it can be easy to lose sight of one’s own identity. This can be dangerous because if one becomes too used to this kind of lifestyle‚ they carry the risk of being trapped in a way of life that someone else sees best fit for them.

Marx’s theory of human nature: alienation Marx’s conception of human nature is most dramatically put forward in the excerpts from the Economic Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 that I have assigned to you.

How might someone set their own morals? Morality is the system through which we determine right and wrong‚ the guide to good or right conduct.
