How Are Objectivists Different?

—Jackie Hazelton

Course Description:

An attendee of the Arizona Objectivists asked, "Does being an Objectivist really make a difference in how you live your lives? When it comes to application, don't you do the same things that a Catholic does and essentially follow the Ten Commandments?" This presentation answers his question. It analyzes, from cradle to grave, how Objectivism touches and influences our lives using examples of real Objectivists. It closes with, "If Objectivists had Ten Commandments, what would they be?" and contrasts them with the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments. These Objectivist Ten Commandments are a helpful guide to anyone trying to figure out how to apply Objectivism to his/her own life.

Jackie Hazelton was raised as an Objectivist and is currently the co-leader of Arizona Objectivists with Shawn Klein. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Purdue University with a B.S. in Mathematics and holds an M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Northeastern University with a major in Operations Research. She is currently employed as a software engineer and project manager for America West Airlines.
