Part One: SELF SURVEY You will be handed a hard copy of a 15-item survey. You have 20 minutes to accomplish it. Part Two: SURVEY ANALYSIS

No one equation can be used to solve everything, one can be more useful that the other in solving a specific problem. We exist the way we are right now because of the one way the universe was formed. Comparisons between music cannot be made if multiple peoples preferences are compared. In terms of one individual alone, he has his own preferences for music; deciding which is better over another. Crimes may be good or bad depending on the context of the situation. e.g. a poor father steals for the survival of his daughter compared to a person stealing cars for the thrill of it. The brain is a complex mechanism because so, different parts of the brain may be more important than others at given times, and there might also be a coordination amongst parts. Lying is still lying no matter what kind of lie it is. There is still a deception of an individual and there is no excuse for that. Same reason as music, it is only in the context of the individual that a choice is made over another. Language can be learned through different ways just like through television and through instructional learning. No one way can be the best way, but one may be better than the other. It depends on the situation. There may be times that call for individual work and other times that require collaboration. Same as music and books, that it must be in the context of only one individual not two. Both ideas cannot exist side by side, there must be a choice made. History is a subjective thing. It pictures the situation depending on the individual and because each person has biasses one view may be more right than another. We do not know what happens after death so we cannot make assumptions that one is over another and that a view of death is right. There can only be one explanation to this because science is based on facts which are mostly true. Only one of the beliefs are right because no two ideas can co-exist with each other.
