2. Group Group As Where are our thoughts and memories kept?
Group B’s What makes us, ‘us’?
Group C’s Do we have a soul that will never change or are we constantly changing as people?

3. Views on the mind Dualism Materialism
There are two different parts of a person- A mind (or Soul) and a body.
Our mind makes us who we are, our bodies are like an outer shell.
Whilst our bodies will decay, our minds/souls are immortal. Therefore there is a life after death.
Materialism
Our minds are inseparable from our bodies.
Therefore a soul cannot exist after our physical bodies have died.
There is no life after death because:
-Life needs our brain, nervous system etc. to continue working.
-Death is the end of all of the above...therefore life can’t continue without a physical form.
