1. Philosophy as an analysis of frameworks.
- Is it an analysis of frameworks because Philosophy is the
fundamental of our beliefs and frameworks is our backbone view
or how we perceive the world with our own thinking. Philosophy
can be the core of our own reasoning and perception thus
whenever we try to doubt our “framework” or “view into this
world” it is good to go back and try to remember our sole
philosophy in life, to re-adjust and try to remember of how we got
here in the first place.

2. Philosophy as an examination of knowledge.

- Knowledge is pretty much everywhere we receive new knowledge
throughout many things, but not all are inclined with our
philosophy in life, before we try to accept a knowledge, first we
need to examine that information or knowledge that we got,
whether if it true or not, does it offend your belief?, Do you have
your own opinion based on your personal beliefs?
- It is not also only applied personally but Philosophy as an
examination of knowledge can also be applied in formal texts or
academic texts, such a thesis. A concrete example would be
“doing a survey on peoples opinion about the vaccine of COVID-
19.” Based on the answer of the people it may vary, some are
scared of it’s effects and some are open to getting one. Through
this you can then examine the information that you got and try to
get a conclusion as a whole.
 3. Philosophy as a discipline.
- Philosophy one if the fundamental of our beliefs and willpower.
Depending on our philosophy in life, it can change a person as a
whole from hobbies, perspective in life, personality, mental state
and even attitude and identity as a person. It is not an
exaggeration to say that philosophy is a big deal in a person’s life
after all it is what we believe, it symbolizes our perspective in life
with the use of words. Through this it affects on how we believe
and how we discipline ourselves from day-to-day basis. Our
philosophy may change as we grow up and experience obstacles
and happiness, but in the end all people has their own
philosophy/beliefs in life, regardless if it’s negative or positive.
