WAR

i don't understand why there always has to be war. i don't see why people cant get together and have an actual talk and make an agreement or something. but there is always war.

People justify war as something right, saying it will better help the opponent. i think that we, meaning the united states should just stay in our own business. i know we are trying to help, but when other countries are not accepting our help, i think thats a sign for us to leave. 

some people i know have actually been affected by some wars. i have friends from albania, (Ylli and Enis) that had to leave their home in Kosovo and come to the united stated due to war. 

but thats just my opinion. i think war is only necessary when we been attacked directly,m whicth we have, or if there is an uprising of a world war.

This I Believe

 

            Everyday I see something that I am not in consideration with. Its either something I don’t like or something that maybe I am not used to. But the most, in my opinion, annoying and rudest thing I see is disrespect. I see people of all ages and races do this. Children, teen’s adults. White, black Hispanic and Asian. Just everything. They go around not caring what they do. They live in their own little world just not caring and disrespecting.

            I believe in respect. Respect for elders, family, and women/girls. Just in general respect for everyone and for myself.

            As a child I was brought up to respect my elders, my family, and girls/women. I was never to raise my voice or talk back, and to this day I try my hardest to continue with what I have been thought. And when I do mess up and disrespect I feel bad and try to stop myself and think back and reflect and try not to do it again. 

            Once as a child, I don’t know wha ha happen, but it was pretty stupid. So I guess I was just mad or something but my mom was saying to me, because I had done something bad, and out of the blue I told her to shut up, and man, do I regret that. I got my ass whooped, and from that day on I have never talked back or been disrespectful to my mom.

            Now as a young adult growing up, I see the world a lot differently. I see how the world can be disrespectful. But me knowing a difference and being raised in something different, I try not to do those things. I try to be different. This is what I believe. I believe that I should be respectful at all times, even if the others around me are not.
