Responsibility

Responsibility
Every person is responsible for their own decisions and choices. If kids are making the right decisions only because they have a program or mommy and daddy to answer to then they will not make it far. Once those outside sources are gone bad decisions will happen again. This is why internal drives are so important. I had to learn this lesson the hard way. I also know that if I choose to do the right thing for me then I will be on the right road.

My Opinion On Drugs

My opinion on whether it’s the parent’s fault, the school’s fault, or the kid’s fault for the kid doing drugs is it’s mostly its the kids fault, because there old enough and smart enough to know what is wrong and right. They can make there own choices. It’s a bad choice and it’s against the law. But it’s there choice.
The parents can help their kids make the right decisions. They can teach them wrong from right and make sure that they are making the right choices and helping them through peer pressure. It also helps the kids if they are active in a sport or an activity that will keep them to busy to be tempted to do drugs. If the parents pay attention to their kids and treat them right, it is more likely that they wont get into drugs and they are more likely to make the right choices. It can be partly the parent’s fault if they don’t teach their kids about drugs and the harmful effects of them because their kids will be more curious about drugs and more likely to try them and get addicted to them.
The schools can do stuff to help the kids also; they can after school sports and activities to keep the kids busy. They can also teach the kids about drugs and how they harm you and the people around you. They can also help kids that are already addicted to drugs by getting them counseling and helping them through the hard process of quitting the drugs.

Responsible

Who is Responsible for kids doing drugs? In my opinion I think everyone is responsible for them selves. Neither parents nor schools are responsible for the kids doing drugs or drinking. When teens do drugs they like to blame it on others, when it is really their fault. Yes, drugs are tempting but if you really are against them and you don’t want to do it then you can resist the temptation. You just have to have a strong will power.

Most parents, or some parents, know what their children are up too. I think they should just care more about what they are doing. But teens are responsible for themselves and their own actions.

To prevent abuse on drug related issues, I think some parents should just maybe pay more attention and talk to their kids and maybe the kids will see that doing drugs will not help really anything. But not like testing them daily just talking to them and being involved would probably help. The child should be able to trust the adult to where they can talk among each other without a problem.

Perspective

Perspective is everything because it is the way you look at things. The reason that perspective is so important to us is because in can help or hurt the situations tat go on in our lives. Like if I saw a murder then I can only tell them what I saw go on. Perspective is what you can tell somebody from what you saw. When somebody draws something and your suppose to share what you saw because you choose what you see. If you see that where you live is a hell, and that nothing good can come from where you live then that is what it will be like. But if you see it as a learning/growing environment then you will have a better time in life. Set it as a goal even because a good goal is an achievable one. It is not easy to do it because it is a change I your life any goal is a change also if you say you’ll change that’s great now you just have to do it. It will take a lot of hard work but man it’s worth it, and remember with more responsibility comes great rewards.

Perspective

What do you think of when you hear perspective? When I first hear perspective I think of ways that two people see things. Such as, yesterday we played a game and it made everyone realize that we a see and feel stuff differently. What I mean by that is the first person saw a picture and by the time it got to the last person the picture had changed. By the class playing that game we all realized that one person might see something one way, and the other person might see it differently. Another example is say a guy is sent to prison, and he is going to get the death penalty. If you were the guy’s family you would think that he should be able to live. But then there might be a family that thinks the person should get the death penalty no matter what. So if the judge says that he can live, then the opposing family might try and get the judge to change his mind. Then the guy’s family would be happy and try and keep him alive.

All I am trying to say is that if you pay close attention to people and how they look at life, you will notice that they all look at it differently. Someone might see it as the best thing that has ever happened to him or her. Another person might see it as the worst thing that has ever happened.

Time

What would you change if one day you woke up, and you were in a different place and a different time? Well if I woke up one day, it was the year 1991, I was in a different house, and I found out that I was able to change everything that I was going to do, then I would look at this as a great thing. I think the first thing I would do is change the mask that I put on for everyone and the way I let everyone see me. I have moved a lot in my life and I have seen what people do to someone before they get to know the person. I try and not do that because I have had it happen to me and it isn’t fun. A lot of people think that it is funny to make fun of them but when it happens to them they don’t like it. For example when I was little and had moved to Salt Lake for the first time it was the beginning a new school year and the kids at the school already knew each other and I was the new kid.

Everyone that I can remember would judge me before they got to know me. It was so bad, but as I got older I learned to not judge people before I get to know them. I also learned to put on a mask for everyone. But if I woke up in a different place and a different time I would change the way I put the mask on for everyone else. But all I can say is what would you do if you woke up in a different place and time?

Perspective

Perspective to me is what someone sees something one way or their way. Just like in vantage point, how each different person saw the killing of the president. Perspective is how you see something. It doesn’t matter if it’s the truth or not. Its how you see it.

How feelings effect/affect our perspective is by our feelings get in the way. When you see someone get killed that you know or like then your feelings are going to get in the way, and you kind of forget what just happened.

How two different people see things differently or one thing differently is easy. Lets go back to vantage point where 8 different people saw the killing. Even the people who plotted the whole thing. They all saw one thing differently.

How the game we played relates to perspective is by each of us had a different way of drawing the picture. We each had different ways of the picture or what the picture was.
