The above questions require a personal response, which expresses your opinion, for that reason I cannot answer them for you, but I will show you information that can help you create your opinions.

When reading the articles we have access to the following information:

  • The study of philosophy is essential to form a good student and professional.
  • That's because philosophy equips the student with answers to very deep questions about society, humanity, and all branches of civilization.
  • In this case, this study would reinforce the creation of an individual with great reflective capacity and sensitivity to understand the most delicate issues in society.

In this context, the author states that students should take a philosophy course at the beginning of their graduation to equip them with deep thoughts on essential life issues, and; another course at the end of graduation so that these issues can be rethought by more mature people who have ease of reflection.

In that case, to create your opinions you should use the information from the article to think of answers to the following questions:

  • Is philosophy capable of stimulating students' ability to reflect and think?
  • Is this important for society?
  • Can students change their minds as the years go by?
  • Is philosophy important to this shift in thinking?
  • Do you feel that philosophy helped your abilities?
