Not only limited to the “mentally speaking, we all seek emotional pleasure and avoid pain”, different people may feel the same thing from each other, and these two people are so-called soul mate. I still remember the movie Mary and Max, which exactly describes a pair of soul mate sharing common thoughts in spite of the difference of age. There are also many examples in couples and friends, though they may have a big age gap. Actually, the differences among people may much more than those similarities. Twins can be different in many aspects, let alone those people of different nationalities. The most obvious difference is appearance. Despite twins are really alike, they are still not identical in appearance. The elder sister may have a mole on her palm while her sis doesn’t have one. Those women who pursue beauty may ask their cosmetic surgeons to do the face-lifting in the light of the photo of a pretty celebrity, but as we have seen, they can never be exactly alike in appearance.

However, his speech was meant to bring the American people together under one goal, the goal for a better future not dependant on the color of your skin. His speech was focused on the races of America and his dreams to unify them, because on the outside we may seem different, we all have this goal for a better and brighter future for America....

...There are many comparisons and differences between virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontological ethics. The theories alike have different view points on ethics and morality to the society and individuals, however, the aftermath of each theory are different. Virtue theory says that people have virtues for the sake of what is good and right. These virtues are for the overall human good. These control our behaviors on how we react, feel and interpret things. Earning what you deserve rather stealing what not yours can reflects as living a virtuous life. Hard workers actions can reflect a person’s morals and virtues. In personal experience, virtue theory relates for being self employed and in the restaurant business. Employees and customers alike trust a business to do what is right by them. Utilitarian theory deals with the good for a large number of people.
