• You will demonstrate your understanding of the importance of one's world view by scrutinizing your thoughts on how the world works and indentifying guiding principles for your own philosophy.
  

• A. Give it a name
• B. Identify seven to ten guiding principles: These should be clear and thoughtful – no clichés
• C. Explain from where each principle developed and why it is important

My name is I. I have many principles I follow. They are:

1. Optimism is the base of all sources of logic.
1. This holds a negative view to everything, making you question the facts and make attempts to rationalize, creating personal truths. This is mostly the based to a logical process, which in turn is the source to all logical understanding
2.  There is a contradiction to everything.
1. There are both light and dark in  life. There is good and bad. Everything includes none-thing, and none-thing eats everything.There is always something to argue and counter. Truth is a spectrum to reasoning.
3.  Learn your enemy; because your enemy can be an enemy in a friend.
1. Life is full of angry or dislike people. Many of us just think of them as enemies  because of things we heard, not know as a truth. This will create discrimination against others, leave a hate with no base.
4. Equality is a dream of the masses.
1. People try to strip their identities and subject to the masses, which will create standards. If an individual can guide a large section of the masses, then they can create revolutions or diction or a dominate power hold. It is believe that you must subject to the masses to not be destroy.
5. The Force is always with you.
1. Life is always believed that there is some higher power or mystery power. These Forces help us accept the facts of life with an easier ease. An live with a know purpose through things. 
6. Open-minded is the best way to acceptance.
1. Many things in life are hard to accept. These hard to accept truth or lies, can make things difficult to deal with and learn from. It creates narrow views of things and people. It creates criticisms and stereotypes. All leading to more difference and dislike.
7. Try moving forward, learn from the past, and be open to the future
1. Things are hard. Some drive us. Some destroy us. Life is full of valleys and cliffs. By learning, you grow. Growing is important to finding yourself.

• What conclusions does Mersault come to at the end of the novel. Does Camus want the reader to come to the same conclusions? 

Meursault at the end of the novel comes to the conclusion of 'no regrets'. Camus seems to be leading the reader to believe that Meursault, as strange as we see him, has actually had a purpose to his life. Camus is saying that Meursault had lived the way he wanted with no regrets. For he accepts the fact that he is being punishment for the crime he committed, as had the Arab that died received punishment for his actions.
