What is your job you do?

What is your job you do? Where do your work? are probably the hardest questions to answer to in a short sentence.

It is great when you have a title, it gives a splash of your awesomeness in the face of your interlocutor.
I am 'Consultant Associate'. I am 'Customer InSight Officer'. I am 'Data analyst Manager'... (in your face).

Where do I work? I am a flexi-travelling worker. I mainly work from home. BUT, I also work in various places in the Midlands (Leicester, Northampton), also London, I jet set to Paris and Amsterdam sometimes... (splash in your face)...

Those two questions are set to gauge both interlocutors' status. It is quite sad, the longer the title and list of places you go to, the more you appear awesome. Truth to be told, I love working from home and have a family to come back to after a long day making decisions.

In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?' 
At least, you will connect more deeply to the person you are talking to and find more things in common with this particular. Let's reframe the way we communicate to one another to truly be and together.

Criticism of Utilitarianism - link

https://www.utilitarian.org/criticisms.html http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/jcanders/ethics/outline_of_some_classic_criticis.htm Problem : Consider the following two cases: 1. Elderly Aunt Molly is ill. Nephew Tom visits her and helps her because he loves her. Nephew Bob visits her and helps her because he hopes to be rewarded in her will. Nephew Dave visits her and helps her not because he desires to help but because he believes it is his duty. (Modified Version of case by Bowie and Beauchamp,  Ethical Theory in Business  (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1979) 16-17. 2. A two-year-old is drowning. Ruth flings caution aside because she desires to save the child and jumps in, but she cannot swim. Thus, she fails to save the child. Sue can swim, but is afraid that the child will pull her under. She does not save the child. The consequences were the same in each case, but the motives of the agents were different. According to utilitarianism, each person's action was of...

Is Corbyn a vegetarian?

She is asked a question. She needs to guess whether or not Jeremy Corbyn is a vegetarian. Instinctively she wants to say yes. Then, she realises two things. First, she is not certain that he is. Second, she recognises the person asking loves categorising people and have contempt for people  who cares about the environment, people like her. Whatever answer she gives, he will find a way to belittle her and she does not want to feel hurt and acts out. She decided to say that she does not know for sure if he is and for that reason she is unable to give an answer. He could read that she was withholding her guess and went on to give a tirade as to how he came to the conclusion that Corbyn is a vegetarian and then told her that she should not be scared to express what she feels. She realised that she was not scared of expressing what she feels, what she did not want was to be put in a position where she will become aggressive and angry after being triggered by his taunts because tr...
