Assignment 1: People only change after something bad happens.

I think that people do only change after something bad happens. I say this because it takes something bad to happen for a person to see they are in the wrong. When something bad happen I think its god giving us a sign that we are not doing the right thing. I think its take a person time to see the bad in them so they would not just know right off hand.

Assignment 6: Should the United States Get Involved in Other Countries Affairs?

No I don’t think United States should have got involved in other countries affairs.
If the U.S. wasn’t such a world power then people wouldn’t target us. A good example of this would be 9/11. I think a lot of people would still be alive today if not for the u.s. I think it is good to help out but we only should go so far. If we did this I think would be a better place.

I think that it is not ok because it starts a lot of mess. Would you think it if someone was always in you business telling other about you that never seen you n there life. This is one of the biggest thing people do today in everyday life. I think I have done it before so I cannot say a lot about it being wrong. I think it’s really something we pick up from others. I think if we jus stayed too our self things would be ok

Is is all about the money?

Yes I think that people’s actions are driven by money in today’s world. I think money does make the world go around which out it I don’t know what life would be like for us today. I don’t think that money leads to happiness what I mean when I say this is you could have all the money in the world and still not be happy. The wealthy get their money in all types of ways some are passed down other have to work for it. I think it is work from other that makes them rich because for every poor man it’s a rich person. What I mean when I say this is people come up from other people and that’s how they make a living. No its not responsibility but it make the world a better place.
