Part 4.
Pic four topics and write at least a paragraph on the topic:
(you can pick more then four if you like)
Racism:
Sex before marriage: I think you should wait for the right person. I used to want to save myself, but I realized, if the one you love is right there, and you know for a fact that you will never ever regret it, and you're smart about it and not 12 years of age, go for it. Pre-Marital sex I'm fine with, casual sex is a different story.
Gay Marriage: I'm completely indifferent. Do you know how when something is debated for so long and to such a degree that you're just sick of hearing about it? That's what happened with this one. I used to be very opinionated about it, but the world is full of ignorance and people refusing to listen to other people's sides of the argument that I've just stopped debating with others.
War:
President Bush: Not touching this one with a ten foot pole- that's just asking for trouble.
Abortion: This one will relate to my teen pregnancy answer. I myself, when merely going by MY personal decision in the matter, I am pro life, I would not be able to abort a child. But with regards to proper terms, I am pro-choice. I believe it should remain legal, only because if it were made illegal, the number of back alley abortions would significantly increase, hurting both. I completeky disagree, however, with the price of abortions (they're relatively cheap- about 100 dollars over here) and I find it disgusting when people use it as a means of birth control. I personally think that if you're having sex, you need to accept the fact that there IS a chance, regardless of whether or not you take precautious measures, that you might get pregnant. But as I said before, I refuse to judge anybody who has been in that position, as you never know what their situation is like. For example, people from other cultures may disown their children and society view them as a disgrace if they were to have the child, even if they were to give it up for adoption, some people may have been sexually assaulted, etc. Those are more understandable than just "the condom broke." GO BUY PLAN B. It's cheaper than an abortion and isn't aborted. So in conclusion, as I said, I myself wouldn't be able to have one, just because I know of the psychological effect it would have to me, but I won't judge anybody else who does. Everybody has a story.
Teen Pregnancy: I think this relates to my abortion answer. I see many teenage mothers who do an excellent job of raising their children, and many others who are yelling at them and yanking them by their arms down the street by the youth centre by my house. I have many friends who are better people, who were brought up with a better background from their parents, who were teenagers at the time of conception, that have better upbringings than others whose parents had them when they were 30. I don't think people should look down upon those teenage mothers- I feel this is a huge reason abortion rates are so high. Society makes it seem like it's this terrible occurence, when in reality, if teenage pregnancy wasn't so condemned, the number of abortions would most likely significantly decrese. I firmly believe in the saying Don't judge someone until you've walked in their shoes. But otherwise, i feel if a teenage mother is pressured by her family or others to keep the child, and they will not be able to give it a proper upbringing, then they should place it for adoption. I have a friend at school who had a baby, missed ONE SEMESTER, and came back to school and is graduating shortly after the rest of us and getting her diploma, all while raising this baby. I think that is so honourable.
Sexual/physical/mental abuse: I don't see how you could have different opinions on this. I think they're all a big cycle, mental abuse can lead to physical and sexual abuse, and all of them in my opinion are intertwined.
