Do you believe that people can change?

Answer 1

Yes, actually I believe we change constantly everyday, if even by minute amounts. Most of us change alot from kindergarden to the 12th grade. People tend to solidify their belief systems during and after college, and as a trend as they get older they become more stubborn and conservative in their worldviews, barring any major life-changing events. Even then, I still believe there is some insignificant amount of change, as a mere result of living and experiencing society. But if you're talking about significantly change i.e. a fundamental shift in the way the person views and interacts with the world, while it's always possible, I believe the probability of such decreases sharply after college and continues to decrease afterward.

Answer 2

Fundamentally, Change denotes the transition that occurs when something goes from being the same to being different.

Yes, I definitely believe that people can and do change. If you think about the typical "addict" who has gone through the transformation of becoming "clean," you will find that he/she has had to undergo certain modifications to change their behavior in regards to drugs/artificial stimulants. Then there is the person who changes as a result of personal development classes where they have experienced a series of intellectual stimuli that cause them to speculate about their lives and set out to improve their lives as a direct response to what they've learned.

Personally speaking, many different experiences in life have caused me to change the way I respond to my sons; the way I interact with others, the way I go about my daily life. Sometimes these changes were self-induced and some just happened due to my getting older.

We all change. The person who said that no one really changes, that it is all outward - well, perhaps he does not realize he has changed. Obviously none of us are the little boy or girl we were when we were younger. Every ten years, you can reflect back on your life and you will find that there is something about you that has changed, whether intentionally or not.

Answer 3

do you believe in the nobility of man? That man can overcome?

Personally I am amazed daily at the ability of mankind to not only succeed, but to endure, overcome, and change his future. To believe that man can not change is to say that you believe in the decline of man, and that we will soon be an extinct species.

People change daily babydoll, some for the best, some for the worst, but the change is as sure as the sun rising and setting.

To what degree we change, and to what level we desire for someon else to change is the question. People change, thats a fact. The hows, whens, and whys are the unknown factors!

good luck in your search!

Answer 4

No I really dont. Although their appearance may change on the outside of them, somewhere in the back of their heads is the same old person that you knew before the change. Really, it all has to do with personality in a way.
