1. Don't rely on outward appearances when making judgements.
Agree. What's on the outside is only one perspecrive. There is still so much to reveal, but it's just hidden. When I was youmger and searching for books I tend to judge how I would like it by looking at the cover. As I get older I learn there is much more than just a picture on the cover.
2. Justice is always blind.
Agree. Life would be alot more fair if people weren't biased on their decisions. People would be treated as equal without discrimination. When having debates in History class, the judges are usually biased to the side they like the best. What they should do is listen to both sides' details and judge by that, not what they prefer.
3. A brotherly love between two friends can be just as strong as an intimate love between a man and a woman.
Disagree. I believe you can love two people, in which you have different relationships with, just as equally, but you can love those two people in different ways. I love my brothers and parents just as equally, but I show it in different ways.
4. You can break a promise as long as you have a good excuse.
Disagree. A promise is given as a guarantee. It doesn't matter how good the excuse is, a promise can never be broken. Before making a promise I always make sure it is something I am willingly and able to fulfill.
5. Love is blind.
Agree. It shouldn't matter what the person looks like. What matters is how they treat you. When knowing who my friends are I only care about how they act towards me. Everyone is equal in my eyes.
6. Stereotypes are often right.
Disagree. Stereotypes do not apply to everyone. It is a way of discriminating people and I don't believe in it. A stereotype for asians is that their parents are always strict when it comes to school, but my parents are the complete opposite. This shows that stereotypes are not always right.
7. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is a good motto to live by.
Disagree. People should do things with the kindness of their heart. Those who agree with this motto are very ungrateful. When I help someone with homework I don't expect them to give me something in return, like money. I am just doing what I feel is right
Sheryl and Madison:
1. Being sad can be strange for me. I might not even know what I'm feeling most of the time. Sometimes I can be happy, but the environment im in can set off a different mood. Being sad can send mixed messages. It can turn into anger or being depressed. That's why its so hard to identify what you're feeling. Sadness is a strange, and difficult feeling to identify.
2. Attitudes regarding usary have definitely changed since then. People enjoy lending money for inrerest today. The more money the put in, the interest adds up and results in more money being taken out. Money today is desired by all. Everyone wants more money to live the best life they possibly could. Back then they would disagree with usary. This would be becuase they didn't have enough money or experienced bankruptcy, leading to lose trust in banks. Today, usury is a very common thing.
3. It is not right to lend someone alot of money. In most cases you can't trust everyone with a large amount of money. Especially if you don't know their background. Some people will go to extreme measures just for money. It puts everyone else at risk. You should never lend someone a lot of money without knowing who they really are.
4. I don't expect these elements to blend well. Ethnic and religion are two topics that people see from many perspectives. In most cases people don't agree with others. Disagreements could cause conflict even with the people you love. It isn't something that should be played around with.
