Essay

     Arguing and giving up any right to our own opinion can impact may ordeals and can improve many things because we are giving up our own opinion for the good of the people and to secure the future for the next generation. Then arguing can be crucial for anyone because your standing up for what you think is right and some ideologies can be horrible. But that can also be saving people's lives and improve the country because you're trying to better the circumstances. Some examples can be the black lives matter movement, how people don't believe that the virus is real, or about same-sex marriage.

    When it comes to the black lives matters movement, i've seen so many people online and in public just immediately assume that the movement means only black lives matters. That's when people make their opinion and argue that they are entitled to their own opinion and that all lives matter. Black lives matter isn't saying that all lives don't matter, they want equality for all lives, but right now African Americans aren't being treated equally. So that's why we are focusing on them right now until they get the equality they deserve as well. All lives don't matter until black lives matter. So in future generations, everyone can be treated equally.

    Wearing a mask, washing our hands, and social distancing is very important right now because of the global pandemic we are in. The amount of people i've seen that say that the virus isn't real and they just continue to go out without the right protection like wearing a mask is terrible. Like my mother would say to me, some people don't believe in things until it has happened to them. Their opinions are putting others and themselves at risk to get the virus. Therefore the pandemic may last longer and cases would rise. At this point they shouldn't be entitled to their own opinion if it means that it would get others hurt.

    Today, many people express themselves and are proud about their identities and sexual orientation. I don't understand why some people think same-sex marriage should be illegal in the U.S. There is really nothing wrong with a loving couple just wanting to get married. People shouldn't say they are entitled to their opinion and that nobody should marry someone of their same gender. Imagine if one of their children wanted to get married with someone of the same gender. What would they choose, their child's happiness or would they stick entitled to their opinion?

    In conclusion, by these examples, giving up a right to our opinion can improve bad situations. Even if you haven't endured through some of these things, it doesn't mean that others have and are suffering right now. Like in the first paragraph of the essay, you can be giving up your opinion for the good of the people and for future generations.

I Have The Answers

 I know exactly what to tell my support team about my learning.The hardest part about starting school is that I have a lot of responsibility at home now, and trying to manage that with all the school work I get each is stressful. What I have enjoyed the most about starting school is that we don't have that many meetings each week. One of my goals in this course this year is to get better at writing. One habit I want to start is managing my time better, and I want to stop procrastinating a lot. I at least want to get a B this year, since english isn't y greatest subject.
