Please read carefully,For this question (from Philosophy class), I need help with 8 Discussions, and I’ve attached a sample version of the response how it should look like (it’s not a long writing discussion).And I’m looking for a tutor who can work with me for a month with 8 discussions.The first discussion is due April 13th based on PST time.The second discussion is due April 15th based on PST time.The next discussions are due next week, so I’ll post here after we are done with these two discussions.The format of the discussions is the same, and I’ll provide lectures and information that you can use for your response.These are the links for the first discussion.Tuesday D04: Why are people afraid of death?In part 1 of Plato’s Republic, Socrates was asked why he wasn’t afraid of death after he was convicted as being guilty for “corrupting the youth”. His response was that it is illogical to be afraid of anything one has not experience yet. In this group discussion, state, in your opinion, why people fear death. When I was younger, I never had a fear of death. Now that I am married, and at the age of 41, I occasionally wake up in the middle of the night with a brief “fear of death” panic attack

lasting for several seconds. When this happens, I wake up with extreme anxiety, sometimes kicking, and always yelling out, “No, no, no…!!!” I am now use to my existence and the idea of death – of one day not existing, and losing everything including the people who I love and cherish the most, and all that I have accomplished and have yet to accomplished, gives me extreme anxiety. This also makes me think that mortality is rather unfair – that we only briefly exist and then we no longer exist. I am not religious, but I sure hope that there is an afterlife of some sort. This realization of mortality reminds me to cherish life, to prioritize what’s important in life, and to start planning my legacy. It has made me realize that what is important are: 1) the well-being of the lives we leave behind and 2) the well-being of the world that we leave behind. I cannot imagine anything else being as relevant as these. Thursday D05: If you have a ring that makes you invisible…In Plato’s Republic, there is a story about a ring that makes people invisible after putting it on. If you had this power, what would you do? This will help us to understand Plato’s view of human nature (discussed in Part II of my video).
