Essay for The Right to Our Opinion

    The Right to Our Opinion


     Arguing and giving up the right to our opinion to save our lives and others too might be what we must do sometimes to make things right. First of all, what is an opinion? Many people have opinions all the time whether its that they like a flavor of ice cream more than another or that they dislike a certain artist. Everyone had an opinion on different things they believe but some people can argue that their opinion is superior and that the other person is wrong. That is where it gets complicated because in their mind it is right but one could be more flawed than the other and by arguing you are trying to convince the person they are wrong. Now obviously the person with the correct evidence is correct, right? Well not exactly until the other person agreed if not it is still a stalemate. So when it comes to that no one is really right or wrong so their opinions wouldn't really matter.

   Now back to what it means to give up our opinions to save a life. Well, what I think that means is if there is a life-threatening thing two people disagree on it might let a life die. For example, a cop has to tase or incapacitate someone to stop that person from killing another, but the other cop doesn't want to incapacitate or tase the subject because he knows him or thinks it's just not right. So now it is at a split the cops have to do something before the subject kills the other person. So the moral thing to do is forget about their opinions and just incapacitate the subject so the other person doesn't die. But not everyone would agree to that so that is the dilemma. So I think it sometimes has to come to evidence and moral for someone to give up their opinion. 

    Another example of people giving up their opinions to make the world/ society betty was getting rid of slavery. A lot of people loved it while others didn't but eventually people came to terms with it and accepted it as their new norm. But not right away of course there were civil wars about it and lots of people died but in the end, after it was all over they came to accept it and slaves were free to live their life. So to conclude sometimes it is the right thing to give up or argue your opinion for the greater good.

ITS SYMBOLIC

      1. Symbolism is everywhere you see it in your everyday life. I am going to say the three symbols I see in my day.  I always see the street signs from the stop signs to the lights, the next symbol I see is the sun and moon for the day and night cycle, and also I see an image of a religious being in my case jesus I have him in my home and he is the symbol of my religon. 2. The two possible meanings to the green light at the end of daisy`s dock in the great gatsby could be meaning To go and take a chance or the color representing money. 3.Some ways people are similar to animals is the way they stay in groups, harvest and hunt for food, they are different from one each other just like how different species of the same animal are, and how some animals use their brains to solve a problem like a bird dropping a nut from a high place to crack it and eat it. 4.  There are still man ways how animals are way different than humans like how humans have the bigger brainpower and more problem-s

  The Final Reflection                                                                  Alright, where should I start off...           Well to begin with this WHOLE year has been very strange. Not only were schools closed but there is a deadly virus spreading. But lucky enough for us we have an online school "hooray", I was just expecting for everything to be on canvas but this class caught me a bit off guard with the whole Blogger thing. I've never had used a blogger so it took me a little to understand. It also was new to me that this class had very few due dates which felt nice at first but were a tiny curse in the future. Also, the teacher is very nice and chill Shout out to Dr.Preston.    What I found most meaningful in the experience we had is how everyone was so nice and that as a class we had a nice community going on especially the fourth period according to Dr.Preston but Shhhh. It was always fun in class I only felt a little bored sometimes but most of the time
