I believe the thing that would break down prejudice the most effectively is mutual understanding. prejudice comes when we don't know fully on a situation. For example from Pride and prejudice, Elizabeth hated Darcy because she presumes that he is a terrible person. However after Darcy helped her and done all the other things including the letter, Elizabeth realized how noble Darcy is and broke down the barrier of the Prejudice.
Other prejudice such as between the blacks and whites or other ethnicity i believe could be break down by a willingness of understanding from both sides. If the two sides agree to understand each other and both culture, there will be no discrimination or prejudice. Well, i don't think that would actually happen until a major catastrophe comes by and force people to do so.

What is Beauty
beauty is a rather philosophical question of what is beauty. I studied quite a few philosophy of the concept of beauty and in the end i find Khant's idea of beauty best suit what i feel. Beauty is the moment when your part of the mind that deals with perception experience a connection between the mind and the thing that you are seeing. It is the moment of connection that is consider as beauty. Despite the fact that he says beauty has no purpose except to make us feel, as feel that beauty could integrate both idea and the feeling of beauty together.

How can Guilt overpower a man's life
i have seen alot of movie about this idea but never met anyone with such powerful guilt. I have done a lot of things in my past, and there are a few things i have done before did overpower me in specific times. This was a guilt about something that happened to a friend, or was a friend of mine. Ever since that action that i did, everytime something arose that have something to relate to it i remember my actions that day. There are guilt such as killing an innocent man that have haunted people for years. Such an event was most successfully portrayed in the movie "In Bruges" the main character was haunted by his accidental killing of a innocent kid and was never able to walk out of it. The simple mistake led to the ever lasting guilt till the of his life.
How Do You Live Life to the Fullest?
It's difficult to say what it means to live life to its fullest. I have a whole bucket list of the things to do i had to accomplish before i die. I bet doing everything on my bucket list would make my life be lived to the fullest. For starters, i have a gazillion places that i wanted to visit and another weird list of things that i had to do before i die. Things like lick the liberty bell, jump off a building or something spams across the list. However, after all those crazy insane lists, i think what could give me the best pleasure before i die is have a family. A brilliant wife, kids, a house and i myself a decent job. What do i mean by decent? a life job of make art and teach. I wanted to be a professor in an art college where i could exercise my love to talking and painting at the same time. With this profession, i can also come hand in hand (most potentially) fame as an distinguish artist. If i can achieve the stuff in the end, watch my kids grow and able to take care of themselves i say my life is done without regret.

What are the perils of Jealousy
the most obvious thing i can think of is the mortal sin i guess. However the more possible thing that could happen if you are too jealous of something is that it can cause yourself trouble. When you want something really bad, often times you could cause yourself alot of trouble to obtain the thing you are jealous of and thus losing alot of valuable things on the way. Being jealous of things could also cause people to blind. I suffered in jealousy over something that someone had and i tried everything to obtain that thing. In the end i was so blind over that particularly thing i lost track of the people around me and the valuable things that was there for me. The biggest perils of jealousy would probably be this sort of blindness to things that are important in life.

Workhouse
the place where those unable to support themselves go to and the workhouse offers employment and living space. The workhouse are harsh and tiring and could cripple a healthy body however it offers education and a so called life for the people that went there, it's better then having nothing out there.
Class Evaluation
Honors British Literature is really nice. I would say this is one of the most enjoyable literature class i have had in a long time. Discussions with you was great, i learned and thought alot of things besides just basic literature readings. I had the opportunity to really dig in things such as the evaluation of society and the world, which i actually thought was not suppose to be apart of this class's discussion materials. Doesn't matter, i loved the discussions i felt like i'm really touching something deep and promoted my self learning intuition studies. I loved the class, the material was not overwhelming for me, i'm not sure about the other people but it sure was a pretty balanced class for me. The poem and material that was prepared is well thought and interesting, in class discussion circle is a great idea to wake people up. There was only once where i almost fell asleep but that was my own problem. Time management is an issue, you know that but i think it's because of the fact that you actually tries to bring out more meaningful discussion. The stuffs that we are talking right now felt like discussions in college or some 3 hour long classes instead of a 1 and a half hour short class. Really well though out class, i loved brit lit.
