Here are a few quick sketches of real philosophical issues that one might have.
A friend in financial need asks to borrow a large sum of money. You feel guilty not helping them out, but are not convinced that they will repay the debt or that they really need the money - what are the ethical ramifications of your decision?
You work in an industry that you studied for, but as more time passes you notice yourself dissatisfied with your job. Did you pursue a career that you really desired, or just one that others told you to pursue; what should you do about it?
You have recently retired and find yourself feeling lost without a job that focuses you. Is your meaning in life only tied to your career and can you be happy without one?
You struggle in your relationship with a family member. How should we treat family? What concerns and ideas need to be taken into account when you make decisions that impact your familial relationships?
