The Sale of Grade Points (ISB indulgences)

I felt that there was no way the school would actually consider people would be OK with this and that it was so corrupt. No the school shouldn't sell grades it defeats the whole purpose of school because if you are rich you can get top grades and learn nothing or do nothing. It was similar to how the rich could buy indulges and get higher in the church for just money not there actual beliefs or ideas. And with these grade tickets the rich could get higher in the school not because of their intelligence but their money.

"All the World's a Stage" - William Shakespeare

Well this is basically saying the whole world is just a stage. To me I think he is just trying to say that us humans, are the actors and we all live and play our roles. While some are more important than others. We all eventually finish our roles (death). The play on the stage can funny, tragic, or serious. He is saying that life is like a play and one play mite end a new on starts on the same stage.

Beauty

Consider this quote from Castiglione's The Courtier:
"Outer Beauty is the true sign of inner goodness."
Explain what this quote means to you. How do you know this? Do you agree/disagree with this quote?

Back during the Renaissance, life was all about looking good and trying to make your self attractive on the outside. They would try to bring out their personalities through their clothing and behavior. But i think only in the last while, 80 years or so people have began to disagree with this quote. While someone can be attractive but could be less intelligent than that of an unattractive person. Just because you look nice doesn't mean you are nice. I strongly disagree with this quote because people can be unattractive but the nicest person you have ever met.

"The end justifies the means." - Machiavelli

Humanities 8B

I interpreted this quote as, if we do something we can only understand why we did it after it has been done. So in a way like we could think we have a clear goal and that what we want, but once we have reached that goal it isn't what we expected or wanted so its almost like that other quote, "Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it." Thats what I think it means.
