6 and 1/2 Americans (Group 2 Section 19)
Philosophy is one's opinion about a certain situation based on a specific subject or one's theory on a subject of importance. Philosophy is important because it allows us to comprehend the importance of certain subjects which have significance not only in our personal lives, but also in our society as a whole. Philosophy can also pertain to insignificant situations like buying books before class. Most people buy books before the first day of class that they don't even need. This is but one example of how having philosophy on important and unimportant matters whether that be trying to figure out the origins of life or buying groceries for dinner is of importance.
