India is a nation that is known all around for it’s unique cultural and heritage and it is one of the few nations to be so diverse in culture yet so united in its people. I as a citizen of India, am extremely proud to uphold our traditional and cultural value and represent our prosperous nation in countries all around the world. Rabindranath Tagore has been a philosopher I have looked up to ever since I was a child and his philosophies on life and education have inspired me to live a life that I will be proud of. Tagore is a founder of our nation and he harnessed the Indian power during our freedom struggle and funneled them, along with Mahatma Gandhi, to achieve the ultimate right of freedom. Tagore has shaped the modern Indian through his philosophy on teaching and I, like many other young Indians, have benefited from his teachings and plan to carry and teach his philosophies and ideals to the generations to come.

Tagore idealistic views have influenced me to find the ultimate truth which will liberate me from this perpetual cycle of life and death. Tagore’s idea that the world is place of truth and illusions elicit me to open my eyes to the truth and the shun away the illusions that might taint the truth. I have lived by this philosophy as I am in the continuous quest to acquire the truth and to live life every day at a time while learning something new everyday. Tagore believed that a man is born with an enormous yet limitless amount force and this force is manifested

Through Gandhi’s “desire” (line 63) to avoid “unnecessary embarrassment” (line 63), he demonstrates his compassion for the English which is best exemplified by his “equal love” (line 21) for the British and Indians. Beyond compassion, Gandi desires friendships between the two nations with “independence” (line 35) for India and “friendly negotiations” (line 32) once independence is reached.

Gandhi’s message of independence for India through non-violence was prevalent through both his tone of compassion and

Gandhi convinced the Indians that he could get them their independence. They would get their independence long as they didn't cooperate. Gandhi used a couple of lines from the Declaration of Independence that in other words meant, “if a law is unjust, then it is not a law.” Gandhi also told his people that in order to pretext they had to be willing to get jail time. Gandhi's methods worked because both his people and him were uncooperative.

Gandhi once said, “An eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.” What he meant is that fighting violence with violence helped no one. During his lifetime, Gandhi fought against oppressive British rule in India, and his journey was known throughout the world. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela both shared Gandhi’s thirst for freedom, basing their respective movements for peace on Gandhi’s. All three men fought peacefully for equality, whether it was for India’s freedom from the British empire, emancipation from apartheid laws that prohibited black Africans from being truly free, or liberation from Jim Crow laws to keep black Americans inferior to whites.

Transcendentalist writer Mohandas K. Ghandi fought against injustice in laws, he himself would not approve that modern life is controlled by gadgets and gizmos. I believe that Ghandi would agree with my thought that this world needs to go back to simple times so that our lives are controlled by technology. He said “We made it clear….we would never bow to its outrageous laws”by letting technology guide us through life, is us bowing down to our unjust government. The gizmos are a distraction away from what this government is doing to our world and how it controls our way of living. Ghandi’s views of the unjust laws are similar to my views of technology in this world.

The way that such intricate, specific, and divergent books and life events relate is quite showing that the choices we make do affect others and ourselves, our passions define us in positive and negative ways, and being alone in an indifferent world makes us more aware in the end. Hardship and toil prove themselves to be worth it because for Marjane, Meursault, and myself, the results of our hard work with teach us more strength and independence than before. Existentialism exists more than we can see, and its philosophy promotes learning from

He argues that the body and soul are two elements that have the same underlying substance. He maintains that a person’s soul is the same as his nature of body; however, he argues that the mind differed from other parts of the body as it lacked a physical feature.

The argument Jean-Paul Sartre, a French philosopher, presents on existentialism helps to prove the foundation which is “existence precedes essence”. Existentialism is normally understood as an ideology that involves evaluating existence itself and the way humans find themselves existing currently in the world. For the phrase existence precedes essence, existence’s etymology is exsistere or to stand out while the term Essence means “being” or “to be” therefore the fundamental of existentialism, literally means to stand out comes before being. This can be taken into many different ideas such as individuals having to take responsibility for their own actions and that in Sartre’s case the individual is the sole judge of his or her own actions. According to him, “men is condemned to be free,” therefore “the destiny of man is placed within himself.”
