For this paper, I would like for you to analyze something from our everyday lives, or, more specifically, from your personal life, through the lens of one of the topics we discussed in the metaphysics module: either impermanence, no-self and the aggregates, or emptiness. Feel free to be more specific with regards to these topics, for example you might focus on mereology, or mental construction. In the past, students have discussed a number of different examples from their lives, for instance, one student who was a classically trained dancer discussed impermanence in dance. Other examples could include music, your personality, or astrology. Your example should be an example that either illustrates a Buddhist theory, or it could contrast with a particular Buddhist theory, and serve as a counterexample to the Buddhist claims.
