I think that my personal identity is reflected in the values that my family has taught me and therefore in my acts, I do not think it has to do with the physical aspect because it is very relative, each one changes over the years, changes, when you cut or dye your hair, one day you wake up with eyes bags and the other does not, etc, the essence, how I act in the circumstances of life, the way I treat people, my possitive or negative acttitude everyday...is what makes me be me.

Personal identity is a concept that can be developed throughout life, this can be done depending on the place where we grew up, our beliefs, the decisions we make, our tastes ...
What makes me be me are the principles instilled by my family, my beliefs and values, my taste for music, among many other things that make me differentiate myself from others.

6. Because eventhough everything changes constantly in our life (emotions, thoughts, situations), we are still the same.
7. Size, Colour, Material, Lenght, Height.
8. It is a paradox because people kept believing that the ship docked in Anthens was the one from Theseus even when all of its parts were replaced with new ones.
Personal Identity is what defines who you are, how you behave and how you think. It normally changes through the pass of time due the different experiencies life gives to each one of us.
What makes me, ME is everything that I have experienced during my 22 years of life. It all about family, society, culture, religion, education, media and friends.

8-It is a paradox because, it is difficult to say whether or not the ship is still the same even if all of its parts have been replaced.
Personal identity is, the characteristics that define someone as a human being, and that have been molded by someone's interactions with the people and the situations surrounding that person.
What makes me ME, in my opinion, refers to the personal traits, the mood, reactions, preferences and overall expressions, which make me feel like I am unique and complete.

6. Because through the time, people can suffer many changes, like physical, emotional and even with all of those changes, we remain the same person.
7. Color, appearance, both were docked in the same harbor, size...
8. It's a Paradox because the ship was seen as the same that Theseus saled in, eventhough, all of the parts from that ship were replaced through time.
Personal Identity is a collection of constant changes in a person through time, due to this, what makes you, You is a different thing for today and tomorrow.

6. Because we are a collection of constantly changing parts but we stay the same.
7. Material, shape, size and color.
8. Undeniably two physical ships exist each could be “The Ship of Theseus” but only one could actually be the real thing.
From my perspective what makes you, YOU! And personal identity are things that make you unique, your values, your physical identity (body image), your internal identity (personality and character), your personal goals, etc.
1. B: The mythical founder king of Athens
ResponderBorrar2. C: Killed the Minotaur
3. C: 1000 years
4. B: Whenever necessary
5. A: They are one and the same thing
6. Because we are constantly changing, and there could be many versions of oneself.
7. Both ships are presumably identical in aspect, so they could be similar in shape, size, color and even in the materials used to build it. Also, it could be said that the new ones “took their place” as the parts of the ship of Theseus.
8. It’s a paradox since it’s implying that two things could be identical and different at the same time, depending on the point of view.
My personal identity is everything that defines me as a person, it’s the combination of every aspect that is, was or will be part of me. It is said that humans are so alike, even in the way we think ourselves to be different from each other, however, those subtle differences between people is what truly differentiates us from one another.

6. Why is the question “Who am I” so difficult to answer?
Is because over the time people changes, for example: our body, our emotion and mind.
7. There are several ways that the ship that Theseus originally sailed to Athens from Crete and the ship docked in the Athenian harbor 1,000 years later could be qualitatively identical. List some of their qualitatively identical aspects.
Same colour, size, lenght, height, material.
8. When something is a paradox, it means that it seems illogical. How is the story of the Ship of Theseus a paradox?
Because it´s difficult to say if the ship was the original or not because all of its body parts have been replaced.
Personal opinion
I think personal identity is what makes you different over other people and this is obtained and changes with family, friends and the people you know over time. And what makes me, me? I believe I am who I am because of my family and friends like the personal identity but also the situation and also the lived situation defines you.

Why is the question “Who am I” so difficult to answer?
Because we are in constant changing so we don´t have the same characteristics all the time.

The material, colour, structure, shape
When something is a paradox, it means that it seems illogical. How is the story of the
Ship of Theseus a paradox?
It's a Paradox because both ships could be identical and different at the same time. One ship is seen like the original even if all parts has been changed.
For me, personal identity is the way in which a person develops throughout his life, acquiring characteristics and behaviors according to its personality.
What makes me be me is the way in which my parents raised me and the situations that I have gone through in my life since that form character that defines the way of being and reacting of people, in this case, mine.
