Blog # 6 Abortion Claim

My claim is why is why do some people think that abortion is not immoral.
In my opinion abortion is immoral. Since life beings at conception abortion is liken to be murder as it is the act of taking human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life. I feel that abortions are just selfish, cruel, and just plain wrong. I could not imagine living with the guilt of taking another's life, especially the life of some thing that I created. I can understand that having a baby might ruin someone's life or so they may think but what about the life that you are ruining, when they have an abortion. In a way, it is taking away a piece of them, an apiece that they will never be able to get back.

Blog # 7 Reading

I Think I handle opposition in a diverse ways. It really depends on the problem or situation I’m faced with at that present time or moment. I have been faced with a certain situation involving racism like in the story The Fourth of July. I would have to say, its not easy dealing with such ignorant thing like that. I know it went on in the 40’s, But in this day in time it does still exists. I came from a very small town call Jasper Texas. It not as bad but you can catch little racial things here and there. Sometime you just have to be the bigger person and just walk away. So I can relate to the story when they were told they couldn’t eat in the ice cream shop and they just acted like it really wasn’t really big deal even though they were infuriated about it. Its good they kept to themselves, they did not need any trouble. T best thing they could have done was to go on about their business. With me growing up in jasper, that is what I would have done under the circumstances. Another state of affairs that seems to come to mind, an additional story called Handling Room 15. This story is concerning a woman who volunteers for a home that has severely retarded children. However, going into this situation she thinks she could handle anything that comes to. She realizes that it was not that easy to handle a job like after spending a couple of hours in a room with a child named Daniel. Daniel had developed feelings for her and the feeling he had, not once he had for anybody else. The staff in the home had encouraged her to come back because Daniel had never become close to anyone before. As the day went on she tried to convince herself to come back to visit. As time went on she never came back. If I was in her shoes, I would have probably went back to see the guy just because of he was different the rest of us. Even thought some things in life are hard to deal with it is best to stand up and face it. There will always come a time where things may seem impossible or it may feel like you would want to walk away. The best thing to do is do is handle things the best way can and what you feel is right and go for it.

Blog #4 Porn On Airplanes

I do not share the views that this is always appropriate, depending on the context of the sexuality. But to say that seeing sexual activities on an air plane doesn't sit well with me at all. This can do harm to children mentally and emotionally, especially younger children, it is completely ignorant. It can sometimes have similar effects as harassment does on young, malleable minds. I believe that pornography should be restricted on airplanes, especially because not all people share the same views on pornography. Just because you paid for the seat that doesn't mean that you have the right to subject people to illicit content.As for what can be deemed inappropriate...I think airlines would be safe if they stick to the same guidelines that workplaces. I fear that there will be lawsuits to arise if airplanes allow pornography. Parents and concerned citizens may feel that their rights are violated due to this. If airlines are to allow this type of movies, they will need to have signed permission slips from each flyer along with the staff aboard the plane. This would add to the paperwork for the airline, and also decrease the number of people who choose to fly.
