PRESENTATION OUTLINE
It is extremely important for a person to be honest with themselves and with others.

By being honest with yourself, you accept your flaws and make them into a part of who you are.

Being honest with others allows for a stronger trust to form between you and the other person.

If you need to act like someone else to be someones friend, they do not become friends with you.

They become friends with someone else. They become friends with the person in your act.

When Tylenol was tampered with in stores, the business was honest about the problem and took action immediately.
Photo by kurafire
They could have denied the issue, but they accepted the full consequences and sacrificed their profits for the safety of others.
Photo by kurafire
People ignore cautions and warnings, refusing to believe that they could ever be wrong.

Businesses ignore the consequences of their actions, choosing to deny any harm they cause.

Ignorance is found in animal testing, false advertising, and many other issues today.
Photo by kurafire
We have discussed these issues and many others in class, and there are many other examples of rampant ignorance in society today.

The perfect society
Photo by `James Wheeler
In my perfect society, religion would not be much different from religion in society today.
Religion gives people something to believe in, and it provides hope in dire situations.
Religion at its core really is not bad or harmful, but certain aspects have become so over time.
In my society, religion would remain in the same effect as today, but with a few major changes.
No religion would be better than another.
All religions would be able to live peacefully with each other by accepting the fact that people have different beliefs.
Religion would still be able to help people without causing major conflicts over differences.
Another change would be that no person or group of people is better or worse than another.
Much like the previous change, this would eliminate almost all discrimination between peoples.
Basically, religion in my perfect society would remain mostly the same as modern society, without many of its major flaws.
The bad thing about society

The biggest problem in society is that people are unwilling to change.
Photo by Nouhailler
Some people refuse to make any change to their personalities, beliefs, or expectations of others.
Photo by Nouhailler
They attack and insult people who think differently, and blame them for the flaws in their own beliefs.
Photo by Nouhailler
There is no easy solution to this problem.
Photo by Nouhailler
We simply have to encourage others to change and hope that they listen.

Agreements and disagreements

Naturally, there are people who I agree with philosophically and people who I disagree with.

Stan Lee was a great man. Through his stories he has created worlds and universes for people of all ages to explore and enjoy.
Photo by andyi
There is one thing that he has said that I believe most accurately relates to weijerism.
Photo by andyi
Anyone can be a hero. Anyone can do good. Anyone can make the world a better place.
Photo by andyi
Stan Lee embodied the spirit of charity and belief in others that weijerism strives to incorporate today.

Another person who I am in philosophical agreement with is Jose Mujica.
Photo by Frente a Aratiri
I learned about Jose Mujica while working on our ethical individuals project in class.
Photo by Frente a Aratiri
The former president of Uruguay, Jose Mujica was one of the "poorest" presidents in the world.
Photo by Frente a Aratiri
He could have lived an extravagant presidential life, but he instead chose to live his own way.
Photo by Frente a Aratiri
He chose freedom over tradition, donating all of his presidential salary to charity and leaving next to nothing for himself.
Photo by Frente a Aratiri
He exemplifies independence from physical normality, whereas weijerism encourages independence from mental normality.

Someone who I am in very little philosophical agreement with is Thomas Hobbes.
Photo by Stifts- och landsbiblioteket i Skara
The fifteenth century author of "The Leviathan" Hobbes had beliefs very different from weijerism.
Photo by Stifts- och landsbiblioteket i Skara
He believed that all people are inherently evil, and need a strong ruler to manage them lest chaos run through society.
Photo by Stifts- och landsbiblioteket i Skara
Weijerism believes in the goodness of humanity, that all people are to be treated fairly and equally.

Another person with whom weijerism disagrees is Adolf Hitler.
Photo by Hans-Michael Tappen
I feel as though I don't really need to explain this, but I will anyway.
Photo by Hans-Michael Tappen
Adolf Hitler believed that the Aryan race was superior to all others.
Photo by Hans-Michael Tappen
He persecuted and murdered millions of Jewish people during the tragedy known as the Holocaust.
Photo by Hans-Michael Tappen
I believe in the equality of people from any culture, race, or ethnicity, which is in clear opposition with the beliefs of Adolf Hitler.

Happiness

For someone to be truly happy, they need to be comfortable with every aspect of themselves.

Ethically Influential people

Two people who have had a significant impact on my moral development are my mother and my father.
Photo by Hindrik S
Each of my parents have given me different tools that I have used to improve myself and determine my beliefs.
Photo by Hindrik S
Throughout my life, my mother has taught me the importance of forgiveness and honesty.
Photo by Hindrik S
She has done so much for me in my life, guiding me through the world and allowing me to learn from her example.
Photo by Hindrik S
By living with my father I have learned that any situation can be faced with a smile.
Photo by Hindrik S
The constant positive attitude of my father has shown me that there is nothing that a bad joke can't help.
Photo by Hindrik S
He has given me countless happy memories that I will take with me for the rest of my life.
Photo by Hindrik S
The love and care that my parents have given me over my life has allowed me to grow and develop into the person I am today.
Photo by Hindrik S
The central ideas of weijerism are broad, unspecific, and probably not going to get me a good score.

But if I tried to describe them in any other way I wouldn't be expressing what I really believe.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
There aren't many specific aspects of weijerism that define something as right or wrong. But there are a few.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
A decision is wrong if it hurts other people mentally or physically.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
That rule is a little bit of common sense, but it applies to weijerism nonetheless.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
By listening to others and considering the full consequences of your actions on all people, you can ensure that no harm is done.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
A decision that you make is wrong if it goes against who you are as a person.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
What this means is that first you need to look inside of yourself and determine what kind of person you feel most comfortable being.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
If a situation requires you to go against your personality or beliefs, then that situation is better avoided.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
The most important pillar of weijerism is knowing that other people have different beliefs than you.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
Basically, you can believe whatever you want to believe, and other people can believe what they want to believe.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
This applies for almost anything, except if a person's beliefs bring harm to others.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
So overall, weijerism is about being true to yourself.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
It's about caring for others, and respecting opinions that differ from yours.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
At its core, weijerism is honesty.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
Weijerism is forgiveness.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
Weijerism is believing in yourself and in others.
Photo by ξωαŋ ThΦt (slowly back...)
But most importantly, weijerism is about being yourself.
