- For me, I can say that I'm a person who knows how to adjust to things, even
though it's hard to know if I'll be able to adjust, because for me when I'm able to
adjust, I know that I'll be more comfortable because I've adjusted. And it also
seems to me that once you are adjusted, you will learn to get along and socialize
freely because you may already know something about similar situations. But in
truth, when it comes from my heart and mind that I'm different from others, I
can keep that to myself as long as I know that I'm in the right and I'm not going
down the wrong path.

the three stages in your own words. Use practical examples to prove your
point. (10 points)
Theological stage
- The Theological stage refers to the appeal to personified deities. During the
earlier stages, people believed that all the phenomena of nature are the creation
of the divine or supernatural.
- For me, a good example for this is are priests or ministers who are inside the
churches who teach, the best example is Pope Francis, all the people worship him, I
don't know what other people believe in him, but in the way that he is worshiped or
greater than other is a good example for this stage.
Metaphysical stage
- At this stage the belief in the individual power of god is diminished. God is
thought of not as a personified form but as an abstract force.
Positive stage
-The positive stage represents the scientific way of thinking. Positive thought
ushers in an industrial age. Positive or scientific knowledge is based upon facts and
these facts are gathered by observation and experience.
