6. Because of the persistence of the identity. Which you is who? When I am? Which aspect of you is I?
7. Because the changes were gradually made at any time stopped being the legendary ship. Although it has no part in common, the two ships are numerically identical.
8. It is a paradox because the changes that were made to the boat were gradually and this makes numerically identical between the original boat and the boat that had nothing original. But otherwise Theseus was never in the second boat so they are not qualitatively the same.
For me, personal identity are all the traits (mostly emotional) that characterize us and differentiates us from others. I think hyperactivity, joy, energy, and talk a lot without stopping are the traits that make me be me.

6 Because there are so many factors to consider, the people and things are always changing
7 Even if the ships are numerically identical, they are not qualitatively identical because for example Theseus never was in the second ship
8 The story is a paradox because 1000 years before and now the ships look equal, some people could think that because the appearence is the same, the ship is the same, but others could think that because the ship hasn't their original pieces, is a different ship. So that mean that who am I depend of my body, my emotions, my way to think, my way to act and many other aspects of me. Some people could think that I am the same before and now or may be that I changed
I think that identity is our "comfort zone", it is how we talk or do things for example and feel comfortable. Because we feel good, we are the way we are. But also there are aspects that we can't control about ourself like our voice tone or our natural reactions in some situations. I am talkative, a social person may be forgetful and sometimes funny.

6.Because everyone is constantly changing, there are not absolutes to that question.
7. It may be of the same wood (or material). It may have the same dimensions and the same colors. But once it has been replaced all from the original we can´t argue it is the same ship, even though it looks the same.
8.A paradox is something that can´t be solved by simple logic. It is a paradox because some can argue that we just made changes over the original and that it is the same ship just that has been modified. Other can argue that at the moment you make a slight change it will stop being the ship Theseus used. So the paradox come when you ask: Who is right? And as you can´t give an absolute answer you consider it a paradox.
My opinion is that you are like a draft, we all start like a draft. A draft because at first you have no shape. As life go on and you experience different things that "draw" over you. After some time you will be a complete drawing, but that drawing is in constant change. Even though people know you from a time you where a drawing A, with all its details, some point later in your life you will be a drawing B; a completely different being but at the end the same draft is behind.

6. Because we are a collection of many parts that are constantly changing.
7. Over time changes were made on the ship. Is almost sure that the ship docked in the Athenian Harbor has changed all its parts. But was considered the same legendary ship because of it looks exactly like the original. In fact it could be considered like the original with a lot of changes but actually a complete change of something is to make a new thing.But if we have to talk about qualities, to consider it like the same it must have had identical qualities like:
- Dimensions
- Material
- Equipment
- Colors
- Structure
8. As I said in the previous point, some people can say: Oh, for me is the same but with a lot of changes. But someone else can say: Ok, but when you modified something entirely it becomes something new. Both opinions are something that maybe can sounds logical for someone but for someone else is a complete illogical idea. So connecting that with the question: Who am I? The people can think because of you look right know exactly like 5 years ago you are the same...but in five years can happen a lot of things can make you a total change.
For me, personal identity is what you have created voluntarily or involuntarily. Is what allows us to act like we act, talk like we talk, think like we think. Values and beliefs are, for me, where personal identity is based. And also are the things that make us US. What people see are the things I do, and what I do is based on what I believe and what I learned as a child. That is the essence of each one.

6: Because we are an integration of changing elements that remain the same being.
7: dimensions, materials, colors, pieces of the structure, tools for the trips, amoung others.
8:The story is a paradox because it seems illogical that a thing or a being changes every part of them and still remain the same, but I actually think that these is really illogical because if you changes your thoughts, beliefs, and everything you are, you will be other person completely different to the previous you, and the body also is transforming into other every moment.
In my opinion the personal identity is what you believe about you, what you show to others about your way of living, it is not your name or what your parents, relatives or people around you say about you; and although we are of the same species, the things that define as are the little details in our actions, way of speaking, and those things that if we die, the people is going to remember us, these is what makes us uniques.

6. Because we are a collection of constantly changing parts. Our physical body, mind, emotions and circumstances are always changing; but we stay the same in an amazing and sometimes illogical way.
7. The essential quality of property of the ship. Some people argue that Theseus never set foot on ship B, and his presence on the ship is an essential quality of property of the ship of Theseus, because it cant survive without him. So, though both ships are numerically identical, they are not qualitatively identical.
8. By explaining how can every single part of something be replaced, but still being the same thing. The way they explain this point of view is by using the story of a ship and explaining that whenever a part of the ship (which Athenians built to honor Theseus’ heroic feat) was damaged, it was replaced with an identical piece of the same material until at some point no original parts remained; but still being the same ship.
In my opinion, personal identity is the sum of all the factors that makes you different from the others. Personality, physical characteristics, emotions, attitudes, actions, the way you dress, the way you talk, the way you think; all the factors that make you being yourself. I think everyone has his or her own way of being. For example, I think that what makes me being ME, its my personality, my way of seeing things, life; but above all, the way I care about others’ happiness (that in some cases I care too much, by the way.)

6. Because a person is a set of parts that are constantly changing.
7. Even if the two ships are numerically (quantitative) identical, it does not means that are qualitative identical.
8. It is a paradox because the people had changed all the pieces that was in poor state. Due the long time that the ship were docked, all the pieces were changed; so the actual ship is not the original ship, even if it is treated as the original.
I think that personal identity is the sum of all the thoughts, feelings, fears, likes, etc that can identify you from other people. In my opinion, it is not related to the physical appearance.
1. The mythical founder king of Athens.
ResponderBorrar2. Killed the Minotaur.
3. 1000 years.
4. Whenever necessary.
5. They are one and the same thing.
6. Because it depends on the point of view of each person.
7. Each part was replaced one by one, there mas no big change. They both could look identical. There has been only one ship at any time in history.
8. How could every single part of something be replaced yet it still remains the same thing? The final ship and the initial ship where the same and two different ships at the same time.
Personal identity is actually everything that makes you, you. What does that mean? It means that everything you like, dislike, your opinions and even the moments you have lived, your memories and your family and friends identify you and make you unique.

6. Because it doesn´t have a "right" answer, you are constantly changing so you can not answer who you really are.
7. According to the video, they do not have any qualitatively identical aspects. But they do have quantitative identical aspects!
8. It is a paradox because it raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object.
Personal Opinion
Personal identity it is a result of different experiences along the life, which it is define whether you choose the right decision or the wrong one but you still attached to what you think and believe, and learning of those moments when you don not reach what you want.

6. It is difficult to answer because through the years, many people have tried to answer, but they have not given a concrete definition because of constant changes of people.
7. Both ships are not the same qualitatively. The argument is that Theseus put his feet in ship A, but he never did in the B, so even though they have the same identification number, "sentimentally" are not the same.
8. The story becomes a paradox because it suggests that two boats are the same, even though history says they have 1000 years of separation.
Personal opinion.
In my opinion, identity is built day by day, is a constant evolution of human beings. In many cases, we adopt new features and dismiss others, but each of these are intimately linked with our identity.

I think answering to the question of "Who I am?" is a waste of time, I am what you see and know about me at the moment, it is a combination of what I've lived and what I'm living at the moment

6. It is said that each one of us is a collection of constantly changing parts. Your body, your mind, your emotions and the circumstances you face are always changing. However, you stay the same. So answering the question Who am I? turns out to be very difficult.
7. The ships are not qualitatively identical. Some may argue that Theseus never set foot on the ship docked in the Athenian harbor, and that his presence in the ship is an essential quilitative property of the ship of Theseus.
8. Whenever a part of the ship of Theseus was damaged, it was replaced with an identical piece, until no original parts remained. So how can every single part of something be replaced, but still remains the same thing? It is a paradox...
Personal identity is ruled by many aspects of your life such as religion, race, culture... Over time we create our own perception of life, helping us to define ourselves and our own believes, and the way we interact with other people. That is why personal identity makes each one of us unique, however, we are in constant change.

7. Both of them are numerically quantitative identical (acccording to the video), but they are not are qualitative identical.
8. It is a paradox because makes the doubt if it is the original ship, because all the pieces that became in poor state were changed.
I think that people build their personal identity day by day with a lot of experiences and situationes in their lifes. In my case, I am changing my mind from the moment that I start studies in the high school and in the university.

6. People are changing constantly through their lives because lessons are learned and situations happen. That is the reason why the question is so difficult to answer.
7. Qualitatively, they do not have identical aspects. However it is said they are quantitatively identical (ID #).
8. It is a paradox, because even though the parts were replaced; the new ones are never going to be exactly the same as the old ones. At the end it is not the same.
Personal Opinion
You might have some bases of your personal identity that might not change, but as a whole it changes through life. New experiences, people and circumstances change your way of thinking. If you think you will not change, you will never improve.

7. The ships are not qualitatively identical but each damage part was replaced one by one, and it did not considered as big change.
8. Because they say is the same ship but all the parts are different
Personal opinion, we are in a continue change, the person that you knew last year is not the same today, we evolutioned every second and we must not have preoccupations who we are or who can we change to be better.

6- Because I am a collection of constantly changing parts, since the physical to the abstract, changes that sometimes are amazing and illogical the way they show in life, and I have to be decided to dig deeper into a bottomless philosophic paradox
7-Maybe both ships could have the same shape, materials, colors, or any other characteristic, but the fact that Teseus was not on board of the rebuilt ship, make that both ships aren't qualitatively the same.
8- Something been a paradox it means that it is an estrange opposite idea of what it is consider as true or the most accurate general opinion, so the Ship of Teseus story is a paradox because there are many possibilities that the most of people consider both ships as the same ship.
I think that personal identity it's a global set of all things that describes your own way of be, o behave in a determined situation. I believe that its impossible that two or more people react the exactly same way in an event in it's life, and those personal and own reacts in every single day of your life its whats makes you, YOU...

6) The question "Who am I?" is so difficult to answer, because every day different situations occur that make us change, in a certain way, our customs and beliefs, so our mentality also change or improvement. The main objective is to become a whole person that has many virtues and qualities.
7) The boats were physically identical, since both possessed identical parts to the original ship, however, sentimental representation is not the same. The second ship never had the experience and qualities obtained over the years.
8) Because the story tell us that the first ship is the same all the time, but all the parts had been replaced, so there is no way to be sure this was true.
1) b= the mythical founder king of Athens.
ResponderBorrar2) c= killed the minotaur
3) c=1,000 years
4) b= Whenever Necessary
5) a= they are ine and the same thing
6) It's dificcult to answer because each of the words mean something different.. in the video they talked about each of the words in the phase can mean many things as the "Who" It can be you in the past, in the present or the future; the "am" could be you this week, today, this hour; and the "I" if it refers to a physical aspect, emotions or actions.
7) The changes were made gradually, at any time the boat stopped being "legendary", so, even if they have diferent parts, they are numerically or qualitatively identical.
8)It's a paradox because in the story and the video they explain 2 option, the first one that the boat A (the original) and the B (the other one) are the same, because they're numerically identical, but at the same time the boats are not the same because Theseus never was at the not original boat
Personal Opinion:
ResponderBorrar“What is personal identity?” What makes you, YOU?
Personal Identity refers to what makes us ourselves,the things we do, our likes, our behavior to certain events, the way we think; and this kind of aspects are what makes you unique, the combination of many things that are common in people but never the same.

6 Because the people used to think that to define a thing, the thing could not change with the time, and for a human we changed every day in all the fields,so that is the razon that is too difficult to explain who i am.
7.The ship was identical to the other ship.
Every single part was changed from another new part.
The originally boat has a unique thing that was Theseus in his floor.
Also both ship did it the same travel.
8)Maybe because is kind of illogical that the ship was in a good condition when the original travel was 1000 years ago. Also the people was confused because they want to know is that ship was the original ship, because all the parts was changed for the same part, but they conclude that the only one thing that they never can equal wa to had theseus in the new ship.
Personal Opinion
The only thing that I know about me is that I am I, is true that in the years i had the doubt of that i can do better thing, so I said to my self that this is not me, but I dont really do things to changed so always I think so the person who i said that is not me is me? but I will never be confort with that because i want to be better every day and that is the person who i am. With the changes in my life I am the same maybe some thing would change but Alway i try to have my esential person.
