I agree I disagree

1. I am neutral because i think it depends on the circumstances why the person murderd someone. If it was a accident or if he attack that person. Then you are not really a murderer and you can t really get punished for that.
2. I disagree. I think everyone can know what true love is. It does not depend on the age that you can understand what love is. If you are an adult you may have more experience but that does not know that an adult can understand better.
3. I strongly disagree. Because than you are not better than that person that murdert your friend. And this person maybe also has some friends that would kill for revenge and that you get killt and so on.
4. I disagree. Maybe you just think that this person is a good friend and when something happens he does not want to be your friend anymore. And he is acting like a @!%. Than it is better to not be friend with that person anymore.
5. I am neutral. In the first years the parents know best what is good for their children. But fore important questions like if the child wants to go to university or where it wants to work should be decisions of the child.
6. I agree but it does not happens very often and if it happens than it is just baste on the face on the person and not on his character. You don t know that person then and in my opinion i think  you first have to know a person before you can love one but it can happen.
7. I agree. Because sometimes it is better to tell a sweet lie than the bad truth. The person will feel better when he does not know the truth or maybe it is better for him or for an other person. The truth also could bring someone in a dangerous situation.
8. I disagree because i think that it is just for the parents and it is their business  and not that of the children and also the children have to decide on they own if they want to do that. And maybe the children of the two families become friend and that is always better that hate each other.
9. I strongly disagree because I think everyone should have the right to choose the person you want to marry because you spend a lot of time with that person and if you don tike that person it is bad for you and for the other person.
10. I agree there are 8 billion people on the world and i think there is a soul made for everyone. But you have to look for your soul made. For me a soul made is someone with the same interests and he is a person you can talk about everything.

joanne i agree i disagree

The punishment for murders should not always be death. Then it could be also an accident or child out of panic. If it would be to 100% on purpose then it would be good, then he's should get first a couple of years in jail and than he should be executed.

Teenagers can't understand what true love really is. That's true, then teenagers don't have an idea and no experience. Like when they are in 6 Th. grade and have a boy friend and never talk to him but say they they love him. That's not true love.

Killing someone of revenge , because he killed a close friend of yours would be dumb, because then you could do the same to someone. You don't like to get rid of someone, for example if Katerina would kill Caroline than Kim would get mad and would kill Katerina but she would do the same to Ambre.

Good friends should always stick together at all times no matter how wrong she may be. Then if you help a friend out of the worst thing and you know that it's the right and person who would help you out again.  For example if Natalie would fight  with a person and she would be so wrong you need to stay on her side.

Parents should make decisions for their children's lives. Of corse they need to decide for their children, but just until they get to high school then after that it's not their choice  anymore. My mom had the decision that we get our phones in 6 Th or 7 Th grade and no touchscreem phone and that was one of the best decisions of her.  

It is possible to fall in love at first sight. If you see the eyes of this one dream guy, and you see the love, the pain, the hate, the passion, in his eyes.You saw the first time something beautiful in somebody's eyes you could fall in love. It doesn't mean you are completely in  love but  you got in love  and feel the high passion, then you feel the love, the connection to this person.

Telling lies or hiding the truth is acceptable for the right reason. It is not acceptable but every person in this world lied already, but it's also not useful to ell somebody something what could give you problems, when he not asking. For example if I went until four o'clock to a party and my mum said I must be home at two o'clock I should should come home. Even if she doesn't ask you the next day why should you tell her that?

       The punishment for murder should always be death. I do not think death is a hard enough punishment, I think it's too easy and maybe a relief for the murder. Of course is he's a serial killer then it might be for the security of the country, that his punishment is death. But if not there should be a harder punishment. Like most prisons in The U.S, the penalty is mostly death. But there is still a lot of criminality.

        Teenagers can't understand what true love is. I disagree with this statement, because I know so many people who have been together for over 2 years, and there had never been any cheating or mistakes, so I think when you meet the right one in that speciific moment, it doesn't matter which age. I can't speak from experiance, because it has never happened to me, but I do believe in it.

        Killing someone in revenge for killing a close friend of yours is okay. I don't think revenge will get you anzwhere, I actually think you might feel bad after you commit it. And I think it's a bit overrated, there are other ways to solve problems; like to talk about the problem, or now when we're talking about murder, the police is the one who should take care of it, not you.

         Good friends should stick together at all times no matter how wrong a friend may be. For this questions it really depends on how the fight may be, and some things can't be solved. But yes, real friends should stick together no matter what, depends on the situation. It can be turned both ways, friends have friends.

         Parents should make the descisions about their children's lives. When we're talking asbout kids under 13 years, I do think they need a bit of guidance, and then later in life they can make their own choices, about their lives, which they know can help them later on in life, because the only one standing in the end is you. But your parents need to show you the way to where you want to be.

         It is possible to fall in love at the first sight. I strongly disagree with this statement, I think it's just something cute couples say after a while of being in love, and together. I do not think it's given to you that easily. I do believe though that you can feel attracted to someone, and then want to learn more about them. Love is something that get's built up in each one of us, when we meet someone just for you. I guess we can all talk about self experiance, that we have found ourself attracted to someone, and would to get to know each other better.

        Telling lies or hiding the truth is acceptable for the right reasons. When your telling lies for the right reason and good reasons I think it's alright, maybe it can be for someones benefit. Of course I don't think it's okay to be telling lies, but when you do it for someone or yourself, it's acceptable. I have lied about how we were having a surprise for my friend, but that's a good reason to be lying.

      Family feuds only affect adults. No, not at all. So many children are damaged for life, because of their parents or family, really when it comes to fighting, physical actions, it can have different effects on children or young adults. They grow up not letting anyone in to their life, because they might be too scared, or they will imitate their parents/family.

       There are times when arranged marriage is appropriate. Marriage is all about love, and arranged marriage should not be allowed. Normally they do it for money, but happiness is not money, and you should do the best for your life, not what your parents think it best for you. Marriage is all about love.

      Each person has a soulmate. A soul mate is someone you love, and someone who loves you, but that can happen maybe a few times in your life. But a real soul mate is the one you marry the one you decide to start a family with. Not for anybody else, only for you. But a exact soul mate I don't know, if it really exist. I do think I will find some someday, just like my mom. If she could, then I can.

I disagree with the statement that the punishment for murder should always be death because there are many circumstances surrounding what could be called murder. If you define murder as a person willingly killing another person, then I do agree that some cases should have the death penalty. But, if the “murder” was accidental, then I do not believe that the person should be punished. This also applies to self defense. But, if as above, the person willingly and meant to kill the victim, then I believe there should be a very severe consequence. Whether or not this is the death sentence, that is for the judge to decide.

I agree with the statement that teenagers can’t understand what true love really is, because teenagers are going through many changes, both psychological and physical. Those changes mean that teenagers can be ruled by their hormones instead of their heads, or their hearts. I think that it also takes a few more years of world experience and exploration of self before one can really know what love feels like for them.

I disagree with the statement that killing someone in revenge for killing a close friend is okay, but only because revenge can be taken in much better ways. Death is the easy way out; completely destroying their life and making them live with what they did is much better. Destroying their life includes ostracizing them from all their friends and family, or destroying their reputation. If you take what means the most to them, they will feel as horrid as you do. This, of course, will not bring your friend back, but the killer will have a fitting punishment.

I agree with the statement “good friends should stick together no matter how wrong a friend is”, because friends should always have each other’s backs. That doesn’t mean that the “right” friend shouldn’t try and change the “wrong” friend’s mind, but they should always stick together against outside forces.

I very strongly disagree with the statement that parents should make the decisions about their children’s lives. Parents are meant to be guiding forces, they are not supposed to take over their child’s lives. If the child is going to do something monumentally stupid, of course the parents should try to stop them, but the best way to learn a lesson is to make the mistake. The child needs to live their own lives, and the parents need to let them.

I strongly disagree with the statement “it is possible to fall in love at first sight”. People are multi-dimensional and sometimes do not show who they really are on the surface. After all, “looks can be deceiving”. You need to get to know the person first, because loving the way they look is only attraction or lust, not love. Love is an emotional connection, and if you like how they look, it’s a bonus.

I agree with the statement “telling lies or hiding the truth is acceptable of the right reasons”, but only to an extent. If the lie or hidden truth is murder, then this statement is wrong. But if it is a white lie, like the time you went to sleep or if you took extra dessert, then this statement is true.

I disagree with the statement that family feuds only affect adults, because I know if two families hate each other, the children will be biased towards each other as well. this affects their school life as well as their outside life, because their families wouldn’t like them being friends. The children might even bully each other, extending the feud to the next generation.

I very strongly disagree with the statement that there are times when arranged marriage is appropriate. Your parents NEVER get to decide who you will (hopefully) spend the rest of your life with. Even if you do end up with some sort of affection towards your partner, it was not your parent’s decision to make. They shouldn't’ take away your right to choice. Arranged marriage is even worse in 2nd-3rd world countries, because rape is always a problem, especially in the countries without many women’s rights.

I agree with the statement of each person has a soul mate, because soul mates are all about chemistry. Everyone has at least one person that they just click with, and whether they are a “romantic” or “platonic” soul mate is irrelevant.

Agree or Disagree Homework Assignment

 

1.The punishment for murder should always be death.

I disagree with this statement. Murder should not be punished with death if it is justifiable. Self defense would be the main reason for a justifiable murder; the person could have been protecting themselves or a family member; they could have been in danger of being raped or murdered themselves. Also, war is murder but no one is ever punished for killing someone during it, killing someone in war can also be justifiable because you have to protect yourself and your country.

2.Teenagers can't truly understand what love is.

I disagree with this statement because even though teenagers can be immature and can be anywhere from as young as 13 to as old as 19; they still understand the concept of true love. This doesn't mean they are capable of truly feeling it but it simply means that they understand the concept of it. Also a 19 year old is basically an adult already and is perfectly capable of feeling true love, as apposed to a 13-15 year old where that is most likely less capable.

3.Killing someone in revenge for killing a friend of yours is okay

I disagree with this. The murder is only justifiable if you had to defend yourself. Murder out of revenge is still murder, the murderer never targeted you personally and therefore you wouldn't have cause to murder them. You would deserve the same punishment as other unjustifiable murderers. If one of my friends was murdered I would think it's better revenge to see the murderer rot in jail for the rest of their life than kill them and in turn ruin my future.

4.Good friends should stick together no matter how wrong their friends may be.

I am neutral on this statement. This is because it really depends on the situation. If your close friend does something wrong that is small and does not have a huge effect on life you should stick with them and help them through it. For example, if a friend made the wrong choices in their love life you wouldn't leave them for it, you would help them get past it. If a friend has mental issues and severely hurts or murders someone, rapes someone, etc.. it may be a danger to your health and your family's health to be associated with them. If they are not stable mentally they can hurt or turn on you and they should seek mental help to achieve stability. If the murder was completely justifiable then it should be ok to stay with them.

5.Parents should make the decisions about their children's lives.

I disagree with this statement. When the child is small and can't think or make smart decisions for themselves and their future the parents should make the decisions for them. Once the child has reached the age where he has to choose colleges the parents should not make all the decisions but act more as guidance for their child to help them choose what path they want to take in life. They should give the child advice but not try to control their lives because the child has to decide what he likes and what he wants to do with his future so if they are forced into it, it could lead to psychological or other problems. If the child is making a regretful decision, such as suicide, the parent should step in and force their child to live so they can fulfill their time on this earth and not have their life ended due to one phase.

6.It is possible to fall in love at first sight.

I strongly disagree with this statement. One person truly feels love for someone else because of their personality. Physical attraction and hormones can cause 'lust at first sight' because their appearance is appealing to someone, even though they don't know anything about their personality. You can get to know them and fall in love with them after being physically attracted to them, but that is still not love at first sight, that is just physical attraction at first sight.

7.Telling lies and hiding truth is acceptable for the right reasons.

I agree with this statement. If the lies are small and don't have a big effect on someones life then they are okay to be told. Telling someone that the color they are wearing suits them when it actually doesn't because you don't want to hurt their feelings is just a white lie. It is okay because it insignificant and just helps to keep the environment in a happier state then if everyone knew exactly what everyone else was thinking. If it is a big life changing lie, you shouldn't tell it because you are playing god on their lives which is not okay; they should determine their own future. For example; never telling someone that you had their baby should not happen and the father should have the right to know he has a son incase he wants to see him or not. If the lie can change someones life, don't tell it.

8.Family feuds only affect adults.

I strongly disagree with this statement. If anything it affects the children more than the parents, because the children look up to them and follow by their example. Also children are highly sensitive to their parents fighting, it makes them feel like they have no stability in their lives which can affect them mentally later in life and lead to commitment or relationship issues.

9.There are times when arranged marriage is appropriate.

I am neutral about this statement. If a small child is married off to an older person for money but is raped and mistreated, the marriage is illegal and inappropriate. Though it is inappropriate it may be NECESSARY in order for the family to survive because they need the money; and if it's necessary it will happen. If royalty agrees to an arranged marriage because the next ruler should be chosen carefully since they have a countries future in their hands, than it is appropriate. It would be better to have someone capable governing a country as appose to someone you married out of love but that can destroy the country.

10.Each person has a soulmate

I agree with this situation. This is because a soulmate is someone you feel true love for, this is possible for everyone because you can fall in love with more than one person, depending on their personalities and chemistry with you. Everyone has someone they can fall in love with but it doesn't mean that they will ever find that person. If someone tries to argue that Asexual people will never find a soulmate this is not true, because Asexual people may not be sexually attracted to someone but they can still have feeling of love towards someone.

The punishment for murder should always be death. I am neutral with this statement because sometimes the murder of someone if for the good of others, and killing that one person can save multiple lives. For example the US troops killing Osama Bin Laden was murder but they should not be punished, that is because it was justified murder. I think murder can sometimes be an accident, then those people definitely do not deserve to die. Therefore, I think the punishment for murder should be a trail to decide whether the murder was well deserved or not.

Teenagers can’t understand what true love really is, I am neutral with this statement because 13 year old's may not be able to understand true love though a 19 year old may be able to. I think all teenagers can fall in love with a person’s physical appearance but not true love because they do not love a person’s personality.

Killing someone in revenge for killing a close friends of yours is okay. I am neutral with this statement because I strongly believe in revenge but I don’t believe murder is the best way. An example of this would be if someone you love kills your close friends you may not know whose side to be on. If someone killed my best friends i would not seek out to kill them because that will not bring them back. I also believe killing them is giving them the easy way out, they should be locked in prison or solitary confinement so they can suffer.

Good friends should stick together at all times no matter how wrong a friend may be. I disagree with this statement because no matter how great a friend is, if they do something really wrong you should distance yourself from them a little. An example of this would be if your friend robbed a bank, you may not want to be around them all the time and may separate. If my friend told me she wanted to drop out of school i would stick by her and hope i can convince her to change her mind.

Parents should make the decisions about their children’s lives. I agree with this statement because when children are younger they tend to need guidance and someone to tell them what to do. As a child gets older they don’t need their parents to make all of their decisions. Parents can still give their input but do not need to make all of their decisions concrete. For example my parents don’t decide what I do in my free time but they decide what school I go to and where I live. If a child was 14 and they told their parents they wanted to get drop out of school and become an astronaut a parent can make the decision that they stay in school.

It is possible to fall in love at first sight. I am neutral because yes you can fall in love with someone’s physical appearance and find them attractive. An example of this would be seeing a very attractive person and walking up to them thinking you are in love with them then finding out they are completely insipid. I think you can only fall in love after you get to know a person and their personality.

Telling lies or hiding the truth is acceptable for the right reasons. I strongly agree with this statement because I believe what a person does not know can’t hurt them. I think people are better of being happy and sometime when you tell a person his truth you can hurt their feelings or make them angry. For example I don’t mind if someone lies to me as long as I don’t find out. I don’t believe all lying is bad I think sometimes it can help situations and spare people’s feelings. An example of this would be telling your friend you like her shoes but you actually hate them, you said a white lie and it did not hurt anyone.

Family feuds only affect adults. I disagree with this statement. Family feuds as I said in the title shows that it affects the whole family including the children. An example of this would be Romeo and Juliet their families were having a large conflict and it ended with them both killings themselves because it affected them just as much as it did to their parents.

There are times when arranged marriage is appropriate. I agree with this statement because arranged marriages can be accepted by both sides and is not always forced. In some countries arranged marriages are so common they have become their culture. An example of this is in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Each person has a soul mate. I strongly disagree with this statement because I believe this is something people believe in just to feel like they have something to look forward to. I believe you may find multiple people in the world that have a personality that connects with yours, but I don’t believe that you can be someone’s soul mate, but I do believe you can have a connection by having similar interests.

1. The punishment for murder should always be death.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this statement, because I do not believe that lives should be taken, so not even the lives of people that have taken someone else’s life. I also believe that people that commit crimes like murder should be suffering, and death penalty is not as much suffering as spending your life in jail. Also, when a person is punished with death, indirectly the family is also punished, because they can never see that family member anymore. So, the death penalty only causes more grief. Therefore, I believe that the punishment for murder should be life long.

2. Teenagers can’t understand what true love really is.

I stand NEUTRAL for this statement, because I do not think that anyone knows what true love really is until it happens to them. Anybody may think that they have found true love, but when it really happens I believe that it is true, no matter their age. There are many couples who find love in high school in their teenage years, get married, and live happily ever after. Therefore, I think the statement should be changed to no one understands what true love really is until it happens to them.

3. Killing someone in revenge for killing a close friend of yours is okay.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this statement, because I do not think that killing someone can be justified in any way. You can not justify taking someone’s life in any way, also since you will be putting that person’s family and friends into grief for the rest of their lives. Eventhough you may also be in grief, just mood and smile someone else is not good. Therefore, I believe that the statement should be changed to killing someone in revenge for killing a close friend of yours is not okay.

4. Good friends should stick together no matter how wrong a friend may be.

I DISAGREE with this statement, because most the times when a friend is doing wrong things that you do not agree with, this friend may not be as good as you think. If this friend keeps doing those things, without listening to you, this friend does not care as much about you as you do about him. Wrong friends can also pull you into this trouble, which may result in your life being ruined. Therefore, I believe that good friends should not stick together when one is doing wrong things.

5. Parents should make the decisions about their children’s lives.

I stand NEUTRAL for this statement, because I both agree, and disagree with this statement. Children should have the ability to choose their own middle and high school, subjects to take, and multiple other decisions. However, I also believe that part of the children’s lives should be decided by the parents, as children do not always make the right choices. How money is spent, and other important decisions of the kid’s younger life should be decided by the parents, and later on advice is enough. Therefore I believe that parents should make some of the decisions about their children’s lives.

6. It is possible to fall in love at first sight.

I AGREE with this statement, because my dad fell in love with my mother at first sight. My parents are still happy together, and the main reason they are together is because my dad, even though he didn’t know my mom, he made an effort to get to know her. I have heard plenty of other stories also supporting love at first sight, and I doubt that love at first sight is just a made up story. Therefore I think it is possible to fall in love at first sight.

7. Telling lies or hiding the truth is acceptable for the right reasons.

I AGREE with this statement, because in some cases it is better for everyone to hide the truth. For example, when you absolutely hate the color of someone's dress, but that person absolutely loves the dress, it is nicer to just smile and nod than to tell the truth. In cases like these the truth won't come out, and all you did was make that person happy. Therefore, I think it is okay to lie or to hide the truth in some cases.

8. Family feuds only affect the adults.

I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this statement, because it is a family feud and the entire family takes part in this feud. I believe this because children learn from their parents, therefore they will grow up agreeing with the feud. Children will never know any better because they learn from their family. In addition, children will not be able to communicate with the other family even if they wish to because the family will not allow that kind of interaction. Therefore, family feuds affect the whole family.

9. Arranged marriage is appropriate in some cases.

I DISAGREE with this statement, because people have the right to find love for themselves. No one should be forced upon another if the element of love does not exist. On top of that, no one should make decisions for your future except for you. Forcing someone to a legal bond with a partner without their original approval is right in no cases. For example, Nojoud Ali got married when she was still a child, and got divorced at 10. She did not choose to get married to this man, who abused her in many different ways. Therefore, I think arranged marriage is not right and should be banned.

10. There is a soul mate for everyone.

I AGREE with this statement, because there are nearly 7 billion people in the world so their must be a match for each of them. A soul mate is someone who has similar interests and can socialize with about anything and everything.  Each person can find at least someone who balances them, but not everyone finds them. Therefore I think that there is a soul mate for everyone.
