Ship Of Theseus

 1.  The ship of Theseus raises a question of whether it still the same after it changes its wood. It is a philosophical identity that raises the question of whether an object that has changed its components will still be the same even if its form has not been changed.

2.  Is the ship still the same after things have been changed? In a case yes, Because the form of the ship has been kept. It is not about the individual components that make up the boat but rather its whole form. In scenario 1 the wood is being changed piece by piece. We can relate this as being restoring the ship and making it sturdier instead of replacing the whole thing. Making it still the same after components have been changed. 

3.  We can relate this to changing your appearance. If you grew a beard you will still be the same person.
