Response to question 2
I strongly believe that “a true friend will tell you the truth, even if you don't want to hear it”. I believe that true friendship is based on honesty, trust, and always being there for each other. Sometimes, yes, the truth may hurt, but it is better to know the truth than to live a lie. A friend should always have your best interests at heart, so even if them telling you the truth may hurt at first, it is worth it rather than them telling you something false. If a friend is not honest with you, then were they ever your true friends?
I completely agree that friendships are based on trust and honesty, and that no matter what friends should be honest to one another.
DeleteOn many occasions some would say that lying to protect someone you care about is okay, however I definitely agree with your opinion. A lye is a lye and someone you care about that much deserves the truth. A friend should always tell the truth regardless of the possible reactions toward it.
DeleteI agree that you need to be honest with your friends and if a friend is not honest with you, they are not really your true friend.
DeleteI totally agree because a true friend should be willing to risk a friendship if it means there telling you the truth. It shows that they actually care for you, especially knowing it could potentially hurt you.
DeleteI completely agree with Destinee, and she said it beautifully. True friendship is built on honesty, trust, and loyalty to one another. That's what differentiates acquaintances with true friends. It's better to be honest right away rather than have the truth find its way out itself, and it always does.
DeleteI do agree for the most part that honesty is important in a friendship, although honesty is important there is some circumstances that being truthful is not best.
DeleteI agree with Destinee. Friendships are based on honesty and trust. It is important to be honest even if someone doesn't like it. If you friend doesn't tell you the truth then are they really your true friend?
DeleteThis is something that I strongly agree with. Telling the truth isn't always easy to do, especially to a friend, but it has the chance to change what happens in the future. I think that friends who keep secrets from each other are not good friends at all.
DeleteI agree with you that all friendships are built on trust and that no matter what the circumstances are friends should always tell the truth to each other and be honest

In response to statement 3:
"Racial slurs used against African Americans are more offensive than other racial slurs because the history of slavery and hate in the US." I disagree to this because, any racial slur is offensive. Racial slurs against any nationality/race are all equally hurtful. Racial comments to African Americans are very offensive, however just because they have a horrible past, does not mean that any other racial comments are 'less' offensive.

This reminded me of the "Black Lives Matter" campaign. Many people believe that the campaign should not exist because it suggests that black lives matter more than white lives. It relates to statement 3 because these people would also believe that an insult toward an African American is not any more wrong than an insult toward another race.
DeleteI agree with Ariana and Ella in that this reminded me of the "black Lives Matter" campaign". Any racial slur/comment is offensive despite what ethnic backround it is based upon.
DeleteI totally agree with Ariana that all racial slurs are equally offensive. I can also add that everyone has the same hope and wishes no matter their ethnicity or gender.

In response to statement 14:
Nowadays in society many people would rather have everything handed to them than earn it for themselves. So many people are receiving benefits from the government as an alternative to working, which is not the way it should be done. It is as if we as Americans have forgotten the words of John F. Kennedy when he proclaimed: “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”. The “American Dream” is not being achieved unless you are providing for yourself. Everyone in this country is given the same opportunity to succeed, that is what makes our country so great. No matter what skin color someone possesses, what gender they identify with, or what social class they are brought up in, their future is solely based on the decisions they make as a human being in this country. There is an equal opportunity for every citizen of America to live a life of happiness and prosperity. Everyone has the opportunity to get a good education that leads to a substantial career, however these things can only come through hard work and dedication. The “American Dream” can be attained by anyone who wants it bad enough. It is achievable for anyone and everyone.
I agree that many people rely on the government to get enough money to live because they don't want to provide for themselves. Also,everyone in this country has the same opportunities and therefore, everyone has the right to achieve the American Dream.
DeleteI agree with this because it does not matter where you come from, your race, religion etc. The "American Dream" can be achieved by anyone as long as they set their mind to it.
DeleteI agree with Ella about how anyone can achieve the American Dream. Through grit and a skillful, determined mindset one could accomplish whatever they set their mind to. Although it may be difficult for different people, such as a natural U.S. citizen versus a Mexican immigrant. But through hard work and dedication, the American Dream is open to all. It's up to them to follow through.
DeleteWhile trying to achieve the American Dream, I agree it is possible for anyone. What matters is how hard you work to reach your goals and how much effort you put in. Though nowadays it could be hard for some people because of their race, gender, religion, etc. but everyone has a chance.
DeleteI would agree with Ella's assertion that anyone can achieve the American Dream. Many of the extremely successful people today were once mere "normal", "little people", who were new to America too and really had to, in most cases, build something out of nothing. These people had raw determination, and perhaps a bit of luck, but were able to push through and achieve the American Dream.

In response to statement 8:
I do not think “Being rich is more important than having close friends”. This is because if you have friends, you are more likely to have fun, and you do not need a lot of money to have fun. Also, if you are having a problem, your friend will be their to support you but money will not be. I personally think that if you did not have any friends you would be pretty miserable because you would not have anyone to talk with or to go places with. You will not have may memories, and you would have a boring life. Sure you could do things on your own if you had a lot of money and “buy” friends who would just use you for your money, but spending time with true friends is a lot better. With no friends I feel like you would have little to know social experience and you would not know what to do in a social situation. I know if I had no friends I would be pretty depressed and I would not know what to do with myself or where to go. I am sure you have heard the phrase “money can't buy happiness”. I think this statement is true because no matter how many “things” you have will not make you happy. It is the people in your life that will make you happy. You could have a really high paying job and be really unhappy, or have a really low paying job and be happy. In my opinion, It mostly depends on if you have good friends or not. Overall, I strongly believe that friends are way more important than money because you can have more fun with a friend and have a lot of support.
I agree with this because someone could be the wealthiest person on the planet but be segregated away from their family/friends because they care more about their money. This could lead for them to be unhappy, whether or not they're willing to admit it.
DeleteI completely agree with this because money can't buy you real friends. Friends give the kind of happiness that money can never give you.
DeleteThis is true because friends are always there for you and will support you no matter what. Money isn't always the answer when you're in a certain situation.
DeleteI agree with this because someone can have all the money in the world, but they will still be unhappy. This is because they lack the positive and joyful feeling that comes from hanging out with people who care about them.
DeleteI agree with this because being wealthy doesn't buy you happiness and friends. It shouldn't matter how much money you have to have true friends
DeleteI strongly agree with your response. Even if someone has money, they may still be unhappy and lonely. Friends help create happiness in someones lives and if you only had money, you would be missing out.

Response to statement 2:
I believe that the statement “A true friend will tell you the truth, even when you don’t want to hear it” is 100% true. No matter what the scenario is, a friend should tell you the truth, whether or not it hurts. A true friend is someone is caring and is willing to lose their friendship if what they say offends you because they know it will help you out in the long run. Being lied to for the sake of your “protection” just to end up get hurt later on when you find out that person lied to you, really is not worth. Of course the truth hurts but once you really see what your friend was being honest about, it makes it easier to change what you may have been doing wrong your whole life. If people keep telling you what you want to hear just so you’ll feel better for a small amount of time, then you'll eventually be lost behind all the false statements that people have told you. A true friend should love you at your best and worst, so if they can’t even be honest with you, can you really trust that “friend” to be there when you really need them?
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/true_friend.html
I agree with Megan that friends should tell you the truth even if the truth will hurt them. The truth can bring friends together because friends can help each other get through any troubles.
DeleteI agree that true friends should tell each other the truth because I would rather hear a painful truth from someone I can trust rather than hearing someone say it behind my back. I could then correct myself before more damage is done.

Response to statement 4:
Women today are more often treated as equals to men, but even though they have the same rights they are not seen as equals by some people. In the past few decades women have gained a lot more rights. They are now able to vote, have the same jobs, and are able to do the same things men are able to do. There are some reasons that they are not treated as equals, even though they can do the same things. This is in the work industry. Often times women will not be payed as much as a man even though they perform their jobs just as well. This aspect of discrimination is still alive today, and is what many women are still fighting for. This is the main reasons why women are not treated as equals by men, and they continue to fight for their equality even today. By getting rid of the wage gap and paying both men and women equally we can help to bring men and women closer together and make them equal in terms of work. Even if we are able to get men and women the same rights, many will not see them as equal. This problem is similar to racism in some ways. Even though all races have the same rights, some races do not see other races as equals, and this is why we have racism. There will most likely never be a time where other races will be seen as equals to all races, and there will probably never be a time that all men will treat women as equals, and see them as equals, but over time society can work towards this goal, and women can be treated and seen as equals in general.
http://www.aauw.org/research/the-simple-truth-about-the-gender-pay-gap/
I agree with Alexander's observation that although women have the same rights, they are not always treated equally. Women are not always treated equally in the workplace, because men are often paid more than women. Overall, Alexander's explanation of statement 4 is very similar to what I would have said, however I felt that women are not treated equal enough to say this statement was true.

Response to Statement 3
I strongly disagree with the statement that racial slurs are more offensive against African Americans than other racial slurs. Racial slurs in my opinions categorize people as a certain race. Some people that think their race is superior tends to mock or hurt the feelings of people in other races. In the past, African-Americans were not the only people that suffered from slavery. There might be many African American who was enslaved, but there were other races who also suffered from slavery. No matter if the African Americans had a bad history in the U.S. racial slurs still hurt people’s feelings. I think people is people no matter what race there are. Everyone in the world has the same dream and hope in their life. They also have the same American Dream as anyone in the United States. If they work hard enough they can achieve anything in their life. These racial slurs can bring someone down, give people self-hatred, and make them think they can not do something as good as another race. People thinks it is funny to use racial slurs but someone can get really offended by the choice of words they use. Especially in today’s society people can easily get really offended by the racial slurs. With the history of the United States and the African American, people tends to direct most of the racial slurs towards the African Americans. This statement reminds me of the recent incidents and how racial slurs can lead someone of any race to do a certain action they might regret or something that breaks the law.

I agree. Just because other races did not go through the same things that African Americans went through it still offends them just as much. I'm sure other races won't want people calling them racial slurs as much as African Americans.
DeleteI agree with your response to this statement, it is very similar to mine in which that other races have faced slavery also. And although African American slavery is mostly known just because of this does not make slurs against them anymore offensive than other slurs against over races.

In response to statement 3,
I don’t think that racial slurs used against African Americans are more offensive than any other racial slur. A racial slur to any group that was oppressed is offensive no matter what race is, even if African Americans were treated poorly in America. There are many other minorities who face difficulties due to factors like their ethnicity and culture. Therefore, racial slurs used to other minority groups aren’t less hurtful, but they are equally offensive to whoever it is against to. This is because other races have been discriminated in the past badly also and any slur would be taken as offensive. They make a person feel inferior and it has a negative impact on them.

I don’t believe that life today is more difficult than it was in the 1930s. The economy isn’t the best right now and it wasn’t good during the 1930s. The Great Depression was going on during the 1930s. During this time it was the longest lasting economic decline in the history of the Western industrialized world, During the 1930s many people lost their jobs and they had to travel to find a new one. Many people didn’t have cars so they had to travel on foot or illegally get a ride on a freight train. There was also the Dust Bowl during the 1930s where there was a huge dust storm in the middle of the country. This caused many people to leave their homes and jobs behind. The Dust Bowl also caused a lot of farmland to become useless, so people who built there career on farming had no choice other than to abandon their fields and find somewhere else to farm. The farm losses really affected everyone. They were a source of the food for the country. With a decrease in food, food prices rose. Nowadays we get food from all over the country and world. In the 1930s people women couldn’t get jobs so if their husband was unemployed then there was no income to support the family. Today women have jobs and provide for their families. In conclusion, I believe life was harder in the 1930s compared to now.
http://www.history.com/topics/great-depression
I completely agree with Isabella's statement that life today is less difficult than it was in the 1930's. During the 1930's the Great Depression took place, so it was extremely difficult to find a job, and if you already had a job it was still very difficult to pay for meals each night. Although the United States' economy is in over $19 trillion dollars in debt I still agree that life in the 1930's, during the Great Depression, was much more difficult than times are now.

#13 Response:
For this question, I had to think hard about my answer, but I’m going towards it being morally acceptable. Euthanasia is the process of ending someone’s life when they have a painful or incurable disease, and I think that it is the right thing to do. The patient will most likely not get better in the future, and will have to suffer until they finally pass away. With Euthanasia, the patient can pass away before their illness gets worse and allows them to save the dignity that they had before the illness. The process is painless and the person has the right to choose whether or not they want to do it. However, there is also a problem rising today that makes euthanasia illegal in some countries. People can use the process to their advantage and kill someone who never wanted the treatment in the first place or the country’s beliefs disagree with it. Although this is true, I still believe that if a person is suffering from severe medical problems, they have full rights to do it themselves.
Here is an article that relates to this: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2023702/harrowing-video-shows-the-moment-a-man-suffering-from-terminal-cancer-dies-after-taking-a-deadly-euthanasia-drug/

Question 3 asks if “ Racial slurs used against African Americans are more offensive than other racial slurs because the history of slavery and hate in the US,” I would disagree with this statement for several reasons. One being that all kinds of discrimination that target anyone are deplorable, whether it be due to race, age, religion, nationality, sexuality, or gender; all are offensive and inappropriate. Also, yes there was slavery that took place hundreds of years ago in the US, but many of those injustices, many which weren't addressed until the Civil Rights Movement, have been given a lot of attention and a lot has been done since then to repair the void that those injustices caused. Yet, there will always be people who have opinions and will say extremely hateful things that could be about any group of people for a large variety of reasons. Any of these statements could be deemed more or less offensive than another, but that is not dependent upon the group that is being referred to. The bottom line being, inappropriate comments about anything, especially racism are all extremely offensive and should be completely unacceptable in our progressive society.
https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/discrimination/what-are-the-different-types-of-discrimination/
I believe that saying discrimination against one group of people is more important than another is it's own form of discrimination. Groups should not receive more attention for a discrimination issue than any others if we should wish to portray all people as equal.

I strongly disagree with statement 8 that “being rich is more important than having close friends.” In my opinion, being wealthy does not necessarily correlate to a happy life at all. While money can take away some of the stress of a job or finding ways to make ends meet, friendships can do much more. Friends are there to laugh with you in your happiest times and cry with you at your saddest. Friends are there to help you make a tough decision and to help you determine what’s right and what’s wrong. Without the friendships that I have made over the years, I would not be the person I am today. They’ve helped me to grow to be myself rather than always following the trend, and to not be ashamed of who I am. They’ve helped me to become more confident and more of a go-getter. In my opinion, money can’t do that for you. Money CAN buy you objects to make you happy. Some people will argue that this is enough, and interaction with other people and frienship is not needed if you have money. However, these objects are only temporary. Sooner or later, the thrill the object gave you at first will cease to exist, and you will find yourself longing for something new. Friendships on the other hand provide you with stability and support for an extended period of time. People who have close friends often consider themselves to be “richer than a millionaire” because of this. Friendship is what keeps people going in their hardest times. This was displayed in the Great Depression when most people had little money to speak of, but somehow found a way to continue on with life. Perfectly stated by the Beatles in “Can’t Buy Me Love” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srwxJUXPHvE), money can’t buy the most valuable things in life, love and acceptance between two friends.
I would agree with Rachael's statement that money is not more important than having close friends. Money is very material and while having nice things that we want can be pleasant, being happy and comfortable in life with your friends can be much more important. Having close friends over money will keep your moral much more intact and for longer than a material item would.

I am disagreeing with the fact that "the best place for justice to be determined is in a court of law". Now certainly, the judicial system is designed to solve problems and settle financials in the interest of the non guilty party. However some matters of justice should really be left within the hands of people that are involved and know the story the best. I will say as a victim of the family court, that some court houses are corrupt and evil, with the interest only of money. Lawyers manipulate the facts, people lie and bribe officials, and the favor 9/10 times goes to the mother. Well, obviously, that's not always the case. When the mother should not have custody of her children, yet all aspects bend to her will, justice is stripped away. Here's another example. A twelve year old girl was raped by a 41 year old man, and when this case was brought into court, the rapist was found innocent. The lie detector apparently had showed he was telling the truth, when in fact there was evidence he did rape the girl, who was brutally beaten and left her unable to bear children. He and his defense attorney (Sec. Hillary Clinton) were caught on tape laughing about the matter and how lie detectors are faulty. If you take a step back and open your eyes to the judicial system, you can clearly see the brutal corruption in America, and it is so sad. Due to bribery, manipulation, and the pure evil in a person, a family, business, or a single person's life could be ruined. Therefore, the judicial system is definitely not the best place to serve justice in a situation, unfortunately true.

Response to statement 3:
I disagree with the statement "Racial slurs used against African Americans are more offensive than other racial slurs because the history of slavery and hate in the US." because i believe that any and all kinds of racial slurs are offensive. Any kind of slur based on race, gender, age, religion, and sexuality is unacceptable and are still offensive. No matter the circumstances it is still not okay to use them. It should not matter that there was history a history of slavery in the US because many other races have been forced to work as slaves other than African Americans and that should not make a slur any more or less offensive than the next. All races are equal and not one race is superior to the rest that would make it okay to use racial slurs. This relates closely to how White people would think that they were superior to African Americans before laws were in place to help prevent that.

My Belief for Statement #13:
Although many people may disagree, I agree with statement #13 that “Euthanasia is morally acceptable.” Euthanasia is the painless killing of a person who is suffering from a terminal disease and is potentially weeks or months from dying naturally. There is no question that the concept of euthanasia is morally acceptable for pets. Family pets are put down every day when they are suffering and close to death. The process has been perfected for pets and is relatively quick and painless. The real question is whether or not this should extend to a human being. While euthanasia is no doubt against the law, the question in this assignment is a moral question and not a legal question. From a legal standpoint, euthanasia is clearly illegal in most countries, including the United States. The moral side of the debate is a little less clear. In my opinion, if a person has made the decision that they would prefer to die peacefully rather than suffer and if they explain those reasons, then I think the average person would respect that decision. There are no doctors or religious leaders who will agree will euthanasia in any form, however if you talk to a family member or a close personal friend of a terminally ill person, then I believe their opinion might be very different. For the people who disagree with my opinion, I ask the question, do you think it is morally acceptable to have somebody suffer for a long period of time, against their will, and through no fault of their own?
The image that I choose displays a quote from a website that discusses the positive side of the euthanasia debate. The quotes states, “To save a man’s life against his will is the same as killing him”(Horace). If the average person considers the question of euthanasia when involving a loved one, then I believe they would agree with the quote.
Here is the link to the quote I used:

I totally agree with Cailyn because, no matter what all racism is offensive to all people. There's not one topic thats more "offensive" than another.

Response to question three:
Personally, I disagree with this statements. I believe that despite when the racial slurs are made, they are still equally offensive. However, before in the early 1900’s it was more common to make racial slurs and not be judged or questioned. People saw it as acceptable to say outloud, but now it is disrespectful because equality has evolved more over time. People grew more respect and are seen to be more equal now despite race. Therefore it may seem like it is seen as a bigger deal and more offensive.
