In order for it to fit into your worldview?

For example:
If your value is 'respect for all others', are your actions and treatment of others a true representation of how u really feel about them as individuals (parts). Or do you feel compelled to go by values of respect for humanity (the whole) which may cause you to alter your exchanges with another.

Does this mean that you learn not to react to the actual individual and his/her particular situation, but rather to abide by a set of axioms that aren't precisely relevant.

Do you cast aside your ability to relate to 'another' in order to relate to 'others'?

Ok maybe kill is the worse case intention. But say you went into the future from the year 2007 to the year 2027 to see yourself in the future. The problem with that is that between that 20 year time gap, wouldent you be missing or something?
i mean if u leave the year 2007, technically you wouldent reappear until the year 2027 so u technically didnt exist to grow old or anything. Maybe u can send a video camera to see yourself in the future, but i dont think u would be actually physically be able to actually meet yourself, am i right?
The same goes for if u travel in the past, but i think thats a little more lenient because the only way there would be problems is if you do kill yourself in the past, you wouldent be alive to exist in the future to do that in the first place. But u can probably meet yourself in the past beacause there is no missing time gap. But it would be totally ausome to see what happens if i kill myself in past, right? Maybe the space time continum will explode.

There is a great deal of passion for divestment in Sudan. Many proponents of this action cite the success of the method in ending apartheid in South Africa. It is my understanding that there were certainly powerful internal factors pummeling that nation towards greater equality. I am wondering to what extent did divestment push the country over the edge, was it just a little drop in a great big bucket with other factors contributing to a much greater extent, or someplace between those two extremes?

Why couldn't Harry see the thestrals at the end of the BOOK Goblet of Fire, when he could when the carriages turned up in Order of the Phoenix? After all, he saw Cedric die before they caught the carriages to take them to the Hogwarts Express in Goblet. Was this a mistake, a previously unthought of creature, or is there a different explanation?

Surely, the ultimate aim of engaging in moral behaviour is to bring about goodness in the world and to lessen pain and unhappiness.

I can see that by adopting moral maxims, we can bring about more positive consequences in the world than if we do not, but how can deontological moral philosophers maintain that the 'goodness' is in the maxim itself?
