<p>Assignment: Do we need other people in order to better understand ourselves?</p>
<p>My response:</p>
<pre><code> Daily interaction with other people is vital to us to live a healthier life. People are there to help you discover and better understand who you are and where you stand in community as shown by Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa.
Rosa Parks’ rebellious nature against racism sprouted in a time where other people were scared to stand up for their rights. Parks who is said to be a very inspiring person for her civil rights movement lived in a life of racial discrimination where you skin color would determine where you stand in society. Many of the oppressed by racism were too afraid to stand up for their rights as human beings against authorities. Which is when Parks discovered her true self, a rebel who stood up for their rights. After refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man, she started a bus boycott ending the world of racial difference. Had someone else stood up for their rights, Parks wouldn't have found the urge within her to rebel against authority in return for their rights.
Mother Teresa acquired her loving and caring personality after observing the poverty that people around her were in. Initially she served as a teacher at the Loreto convent school, but as much as she enjoyed teaching, she was disturbed by the poverty that other people were in. She left the school to teach the poor and live with them to care for them. Mother Teresa believed that if she failed, she would've broken her faith. She started a school and soon cared for the starving and the Missionaries of Charity to support people with diseases like HIV and AIDS which also held orphanages, soup kitchens and many more. Had Mother Teresa not been surrounded by people experiencing poverty, she wouldn't have attempted to help the impoverished in living a healthier life than their harsh life.
Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa both better understood their nature by observing the way people lived around them. Without other people’s actions and state of living, Parks wouldn't have stood up for her rights and Mother Teresa wouldn't have made an effort to help stop poverty.
