Being mean to somebody is not okay even if they don't know or understand. That is even worse than when they do understand because when the realize you were being mean to them, they will also feel stupid. Being mean to somebody behind their back isn't okay either. That will hurt their feelings too when they find out. If you don't like something about somebody, tell them to their face. Believe me, it will hurt a lot less.
I agree with this because, being mean to people and talking about them behind their back isn't nice. If you can't say something to someones face then don't say it at all.
I agree that you should never be mean to anybody. You never know how they could take an insult. They could end up sad,mad or anywhere in-between. They could think less of themselves after an insult or they could think nothing of it because they don't care how people view them. This is why i agree.
The topic I strongly agree with is the abilities to reason and remember are what makes people human. Without having these characteristics we would be like every other animal. We also have to deal with something animals do not have to, and that is time. No matter what we do in this life there is always a time factor or countdown as you may call it, and animals do not have to worry about it. That is why I strongly agree with the abilities to reason and remember are what makes people human.
I disagree. Every animal can reason to some digree. If a dog is wearing an electric collar and it gets shocked every time it enteres a certain area (an invisible fence). Eventualy it REASONS not to enter that particular area. Though humans can reason greater than animals, animals can still reason.
I agree that the ability to reason and remember are the difference between humans and animals. We can speak and understand how to cope with certain situations. I am not quite sure what you mean about the time factor. Animals must experience time, too. They do not live forever. I agree that animals do not really understand time.
I agree with your statement because if people where animals or the world wouldnt be were it is today.Even the people that are OCD help in a wierd way,they make sure everything is perfect or it will bother them a lot.
I think that those are definitely human characteristics that we all share. Without remembering things or reason we would be apex predators, mindless killing machines.
I disagree with you. I feel that the ability to judge is what makes us human. Animals can reason a little bit but they do not judge. They fear or like individuals, but they do not hate.
I strongly agree with you. Those are humanly characteristics that humans should carry on. Thos abilities help humans reason with people and make logic decisions based on the past and present.
A family is or should be the closest bond of love you can create besides the bond with God. Being a member of a family is a very important thing. Families should treat eachother with respect and love. If one family member were to desert another, the close bond of love would be broken. A family should be trustworthy. If a family member deserts you, then your trust in that person is gone. Family members should never desert one another.
No matter what family is the one thing you should always be able to count on so I agree with you. No matter what family is family through the good and the bad.
I strongly agree with this post. This post is very true, your relationship with god is the most important but you family should be the next best thing.
I agree with your comment, family does have a very close connection. It does not seem right for family members to desert each other. Family should always be there for each other. If your family does something to wrong you, I believe that it is important to try and make amends.
Being mean to people is never okay, unless you are with your friends and they know you are just messing around. It's not okay to just go up to someone and insult them with names or actions because you do not know how they will react. They could react by being depressed or they may just brush it off, but no matter how they would react it is still not okay to be mean to someone. The reason you can be mean with your friends in a joking way is because you know how they will react and what too say when you are kidding because they are your friends. That's the whole part of being a friend is knowing how they will react to certain situations. You just need to make sure they know you are kidding around instead of being serious
I agree with you completely. We have very similar paragraphs because we both disagree to the statement "Being mean to people is ok if they don't know or understand."
I agree with your statement that it not okay to be randomly mean to people. However if you see someone doing something disrespectfull,hurting someone or insulting them. Maybe the only way to stop them is to be mean to them or threaten them.
I agree! Unless you know someone and how they react to certain things, you can be positive that there was no harm. However, it can still apply to friends depending on how you treat them in the first place(depending on how good of friends you are with that person).
I disagree with the statement that the ability to reason makes people human. I think the ability to judge makes us humans. Animals can reason in simple ways. But they never hate individuals. They fear an individual or like an individuals. Often times we confuse fear for hate in animals.
It is never opay to be mean to anyone. Not even if they were being mean first because you dont want to go down to their level. Someday they might need you and you won't be there for them since they were mean to you. You should always treat people how you want to be treated. We all learned that back in elementary school.
The one that I chose is, family members should never desert each other.I disagree with that. If a family member hurts you in any way you shouldn't stay with them just because they're family. Or if they're a horrible influence by doing drugs or other things, you shouldn't want to be near them. There are a lot of valid reasons for leaving your family.
I agree that a family member can be a bad influence and are not good to be around. Therfore you should distance youself from them. But they should alwaly be able to come back when they clean up. There should alwalys be a sense of forgiveness and unconditnal love in a family.
I disagree with your commet. A family should always be close to each other. Every one deserves to have someone care for them, even the most hated of people. If a person is freindless, they should at least have their family care for them.
I also disagree with this statement. Sad to say, by families these days aren't very close. Many families face a lot of issues. If a family member is harmful in any way, bad influences,etc, then why stand by them and not part if you can't deal with them?
I guess I can agree with that I wouldn't want a drugie around my little brother or cousins. Situations like that I agree with kicking them to the road.
The one I chose to talk about is the one that says, "People are born the way they are meant to be-we shouldn't play God and try to change that." I chose that one because it is so true. God made everyone the way they are for a reason so no one should try to change themselves, He has a plan and path for everyone and when people try to change that, they usually end up not being very happy or so many things go wrong. God made everyone they way they are meant to be for a reason.
I agree with this because God did make you who he wants you to be. Nobody should change themselves because God wouldnt want them to. He sees every one equally and fairly so theres no need to change that.
I agree, nobody should try to change anybody. Maybe if someone has steered so far away from God, they're lost, that's an exception, but nobody should play God.
I also agree that you shouldnt change who you are you are who you are for a reason. plus I think that having plastic surgery is cheating it makes you someone else.
I disagree with your commet. While I think that humans should extend their abilities beyond that of a normal human, If some one is born with a defect, they should have the right to be fixed.
"People are born the way they are ment to be- we shouldent play God and change that."
I agree with this to a certian point. I do not belive that people should change themselfs in the sense of things like a sex change or unessential plastic surgery.So its all depending on the matter of what you are changing. I belive that God created us in his image and made us the way that we are ment to be.
I agree with you. I think that certain types of surgical changes are stupid! Things like a skin graph to a burn victim would be okay and things of that matter. We shouldn't alter with what god already created. We are all perfect in his eyes.
I agree with this post 100% God made us the way he wanted us to be. We change throughout our lives but we are pretty much the way we are supposed to be. Changing your sex and changing your image with plastic surgery is wrong in my opinion. I strongly agree with this post
I agree with this post. People are the way that God meant for them to be, however would this apply to things such as learning disabilities? If someone has a learning disorder, and we are able to cure it, should we? I completely agree, however, with your opinion on unessential things such as unnecessary plastic surgery.
i actually disagree with this because as i said in my paragraph that it's science and we should use it to our potential.And it's peoples choice to do that to themselves.god supposeldy made earth too why doesn't it matter that we change it?
I strongly agreed with 'The abilities to make reason and remember are what make people human' because in my opinion, it's a very true statement. If we didn't think for ourselves, and didn't have anything to remember, what kind of life would that be? We would be practically robots. Everyone needs to be able to make decisions, make choices worth remembering, or make a bad mistake and learn from it. Being human means that we all have feelings and a mind for ourselves. To me, that's what being human means.
I agree with this. I believe our memories form who we are, without memories we would all be the same. And if we are all the same, our world would go nowhere.
I strongly believe that it is morally wrong to be mean to someone even if they do not understand. You should not make fun of people ever. It doesn’t matter the circumstance. Being mean of people is completely in disregard for their feelings. You should treat people how you want to be treated. I know that no one wants to be bullied so, why do it? There is absolutely no excuse to be mean to someone.
I agree totally with your statment. if someone dosen't have the abilty to realize you are being mean to them thats when you should be eccedingly nice to them.
Rather than people being born into who they are, I believe we all grow into who we are. And, once we are who we are, others should just accept it rather than attempt to change others. People are people and you should let it be. Playing god and trying to change a person isn't right at all. Don't form a person into what YOU want them to be, let them be who THEY want to be. People are all their own, don't try to change that.
I agree with you. Certain experiences may change a person, but other people should let them be themselves. If you are try to change other people, it is likely that you are unhappy with the way you are too.
The smater a person is doesn't always make him happier. Someone can be very happy and still not be the brightest. Your brain doesn't decide how happy you are. Whats around you also helps you to be happy. If you surround yourself with good and happy things you should also be happy. You decide your happiness not your IQ.
i agree because im not the smartest person on this planet but i am happy most of the time because who i surround myself with. They make my day what it is.
Being mean to people is wrong no matter what the situation is. Even if somebody doesnt understand or know its still wrong. People should learn to be nicer to other people, because most people that are bieng mean dont actually know the person they are being mean to. I feel that everybody should get a chance before they get judged or labeled, because they may end up being a really good person.
I agree with this, people that don't understand/know something could just be uneducated. Being mean to them wouldn't make them understand anything about what is going on.
Bieng mean is most definetly not ok. If someone doesn't know something or understand something then you definetly should not be mean to them, just teach them what they dont know. If you are mean to people just because they dont know something see how far you go in life because everyone will not know everything you know. You have to just stay calm and be cool with everything and tell them and teach them so they do know instead of just being a jerk to them.
I agree with your statement that it is not okay to be mean to anyone. You can never tell how they make take the insult, they could think less of themselves or other people might just brush it off and think nothing of it. Nobody knows everything so you need to teach and show them how to do it because maybe they never had a good example to follow.
I feel strongly about paragraph 3 because people believe that you shouldn't mess with humans genetic make-up and "stuff" like that,but whats the purpose of not doing it.Maybe we could find something about humans that we would have never guessed to find .It's science and tecnology we need to use it.
Just because someone is smart doesn't mean that they are happy. Ignorance is bliss is sometimes said that reminds me of this. Happiness doesn't come from knowing, you could be the most intelligent person in the world and still have no friends. Happiness is different for everyone but we are still human and need companionship.
I totally agree with this statement. People who don't know any better on the world or the things around them are probably the happiness. They don't have to worry about anything and just enjoy what is in front of them.
I agree with you on this because it's true you don't have to be smart in order to be happy. Everyone does need companionship and your IQ doesn't decide how happy you get to be.
I agree with yoou because, the less you know the less you have to worry about and the less you worry about the more happier you are. If you are very intelligent then you would be burdened by what most people will never know or fully understand.
I agree with this. Intelligence and happiness are two completely different things. In my opinion they have nothing to do with one another. You can be smart and happy, or you could be smart and unhappy. It all depends on you.
I mostly agree with your comment. Intelligence can not bring you happiness. The less you know the happier you will be. I don't believe friends really make a difference unless you are aware of whAt friends are then you would want a friend.
I belive that it is more important to be intelegent than it is to be emotional. Any one person can cry, or laugh, or love; but those who have true intelegence are very rare and spread sparsely. The world we live in is full of ignorant, yet very emotional people. If more people were intelegent then peoplecould not be manipulated through emotion. Emotion serves only as a tool to manipulate the weak willed, and the weak minded.
I agree with you fully, but by better to be, do you mean no one should have emotions or just focus more on their knowledge rather than emotions? If you mean to focus on one thing more, I fully agree. Lots of times people are downed upon because of how weak emotioned they are, I know from personal experience. Focusing more on knowledge rather than emotions can help people in so many ways.
I disagree with this statement. It is our emotions that make us human. The world would be terrible without any love or compassion. A person who had more random facts than they had love would be miserable. The great thing about humans is the fact that we can love and feel emotions. Knowledge is just about simple facts. It can not make you truly happy while emotions such as love can. A person can know everything there is about the world and still have no wisdom or reason. For these reasons I disagree with this statement and believe that wisdom and feelings are what can truly make man great.
I strongly disagree with the statement "technology should not be used to improve people mentaly or physically." I think if we have the ability to improve someone with a disabilities condition by technology we should do it because we can give them a chance at a better or normal life. I also think if we could use some form of technology to improve all people in a way that could prevent all life threatning diseases why should'nt we use it? If technology could be used to return a blind mans vision why should this technology go to waste. We may even be able to some day make people who are born collor blind able to see most colors so if we have the technology i say we shouuld use it.
I agree with you to a point. If technology tries to take the place of a human doctor too much then people could become robot-like. Technology should not be given too much control over people. Changing any thing about a person can have a huge effect on that person. This effect could be good or bad. Most likely it will be good and it will improve the person' s life but you never really know what will happen when using technology.
My opinions on these statements is mostly negative because some of them say that it is okay to be mean to people if they don't get it or that you're happy if you are smarter. Most of the statements I didn't agree on because I felt that they were wrong. It isn't okay to be mean to people. You are definatley not happy because of how smart you are. Some of the statments I felt were true though because family members shouldn't ever desert other family members, or that a negative experience is a little worthwhile if you learned your mistake from it. "People are born the way they should be and we shouldn't play God and change that" is something that I really agree on becuase it is a true statement. If someone is doing something you think is a little wrong just because it is something you wouldn't do doesn't give you any right to try and change them. You're not almighty and powerful so just let them be.
Bad experiences can build up a person and help them to learn a lot about life. A person builds up character, integrity, and wisdom from negative events in their life. These bad events are vital to a person's development. If there were never any bad events in life then life wouldn't be as grand or wonderful. The reason that life is wonderful is because of the great danger in evil having it's way and of the strife in trying to overcome it. This is well described in the book written by C.S.Lewis,Out of the Silent Planet, "The air wouldn't have been so fresh nor the sun so warm if it were not for the danger in the water." The suffering that comes from these terrible situations is good because it allows people to learn to deal with pain and to look closer at their lives. For these reasons I believe that bad events in life are worthwhile and beneficial.
The smarter a person is the more a person can explore and the more a person is aware of the inability to explore so much more than they can.This makes a person uncertain of much more than they are certain of, which makes the person scared that the unknown won't be good. This also makes the person more sad because the knowledge they feel is not obtainable will make them feel there is nothing they can do. The less the person knows the happier the person is.
"The smarter person is the happier person." I don't agree with this because someone could be extremely smart and unhappy. On the other hand people that are extremely happy could be not so smart. The people I see as the happiest usually don't care enough/pay attention to what's going on. The smarter people pay more attention to everything that's going on and get stressed out about everything more easily.
If a family member continually does you wrong, you have a right to leave or walk away from them. We as humans have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I disagree with this. No matter how much bad a family member does to you, they are always going to be there at the end of each and everyday to help you through anything and everything. I believe that family are the ones that we rely on through hardships and happy times. Some family members might not talk as often as they'd like, but it's just the fact that you know someone is there for you no matter what.
I agree, if someone is a negative influence you should leave them, even if they are family. Just because someone is a family member doesn't mean they make your life better.
But when all of your friends desert you, who are you going to turn to? Your family. They know everything there is to know about you and even though sometimes that isn't a good thing, they aren't just going to up and leave. No matter how bad the thing is that they have done to you or how bad the thing is that you did to them. They will always be there.
I strongly feel that families should never desert eachother because you need your family to get through tough times and to help you out when you need them. Without your family you aremore likely to be lonely and sad most of the time.
I Agree, but what happens if they do something to you that isnt forgivable? you still wouldnt desert them? Because i know that if someone did something to me that terrible no matter i would not be around them.
I feel strongly that God has made each and every one of us special. Everyone is put on this earth, though for a short time, we're here for a reason. No matter if you're mentally challenged, gay, or very intelligent, there is a purpose for you. Most people think they're put on earth just to live and to die, but that is not the case. Each one of us changes the world in some way. You might not figure out what your purpose is until a while down the road, but you'll still figure it out.
A bad experience is always something to learn off of. That way if you come to the same road you know whether or not to turn right or left.If you don't learn something from your mistakes then you're not paying close enough attention to the decisions you make.
I do not think that the abilities to reason and remember are what make people human. They might be the things that set us above other species, but not what make us human. I think that our feelings and emotions are what make us human. Without them, we would be like robots.
I totally agree with this statement because, some people do not have the ability to remember anything whatsoever. Like when you get older,that doesn't make them non-human because they cannot remember, they are just as human as the rest of us.
I agree with this as well gurl. There is really nothing left of our lives if our emotion is taken out of the equation because we couldn't feel pride,or happiness, or even guilt for the things that we do.
I do not believe that if you are smart then you are happier because very smart people are not always the happiest people and if you are not very smart it doesn't mean you are unhappy. I am not as smart as some people but I am really happy and I love my life and wouldn't have it any other way.
I agree with your statement. Happiness is not determined by how smart you are. Some people are born smarter than others but this does not mean that the smarter people are happier. True happiness is being kind to others and doing God's will. God made smart people and not so smart people, but he wants everyone to have a happy life.
I do not think that it is ok to be mean to people if they don't understand that you are being mean. Even if they don't know what it means, you and possibly some of the people around you would know. Also, that person could eventually find out what you said or meant, whether they didn't know you said it or didn't know what you meant. It would seem as though you were taking advantage of their inability to know or understand what you said, and using it as an opportunity to be mean, and that does not seem right.
I agree totally with this. Just because someone doesn't have the ability to comprehend that you're being mean to them doesn't give you the right to be mean to them. Most people that are around you and that person should stand up for the person you are being mean to in the first place.
I feel strongly about family members not deserting eachother because at times family is all that some people have. When people's friends turn their backs on them, they can always go to their family for support or whatever the case is. But you have to think about how sad it would seem if somebody doesn't even have a family to go to just because the family disowned them. It just seems wrong to desert a family member.
I agree with you too my little iron man. Family should always be there for eachother in times of need. They should always help eachother face problems. Nobody should ever be left alone in this world.
A negative experience will occur sometime through out your life. you can make it into a good experience if you learn from the mistakes. the only way to know you truly succeeded is to first fail; only then do you kno wyou have found the right way. when something bad results form a desicion you made then you know if it ever comes up again what to choose.
I agree with you my big teddy bear. There is always going to be a negative experience in someones life that they can learn something from and become a better person.
I don't think it is ever ok to be mean to someone when they don't know you are making fun of them. I think it is worse to be mean to someone when they don't know it than when they do because then they could stand up for themselves. Being mean isn't ok even if the person you are making fun doesn't know it because it is still hurtful and rude.
Emotion is more then intellect. I strongly agree with this subject because, the world is built around emotion.Everything has been invented or improved because of intellect, but we wouldn't have that intellect without emotion. without emotion we wouldn't have the drive to go through with anything, we would be smart enough to but we would never to come around to "feel" like doing it.
I think a negative experience is worthwhile if you learn something from it because I believe that things happen for a reason. So just because you didn't like what happened doesn't mean it was all bad because if you didn't have that experience you would never know what it feels like. So just because what happened isn't what you expected, if you never would have experienced it you would never know if thats something you would want to do or not. Even though it could make you sad or mad, it makes you stronger in the end and it shows you what you deserve.
I strongly disagree with "the ability to make reason and remember is what makes us human." Breathing and having a heartbeat is what makes it. Not being able to remember something doesn't mean your not human. It's called dementia, thousands of people have it or get it. It just simply means you can't remember things. And being able to make reason is the same exact thing as not being able to remember things. There's many people that are "brain dead" and they're still human. Having a disability doesn't mean your alien.
I agree with the ability to reason and remember is what makes us human because those abilities help make us who we are. To reason helps humans get along with other people and create new bonds and frienships. To remember helps us use our memory to help us feel better about things or express our feelings about something. If we didn't ever have these abilities, then what would that make of us? We would seem like nothing. We wouldn't learn anything. We would be "rocks", just laying there in the dirt watching everything that happens around us, not giving a care in the world.

DeleteThe one I chose to talk about is the one that says, "People are born the way they are meant to be-we shouldn't play God and try to change that." I chose that one because it is so true. God made everyone the way they are for a reason so no one should try to change themselves, He has a plan and path for everyone and when people try to change that, they usually end up not being very happy or so many things go wrong. God made everyone they way they are meant to be for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this because God did make you who he wants you to be. Nobody should change themselves because God wouldnt want them to. He sees every one equally and fairly so theres no need to change that.
DeleteI agree, nobody should try to change anybody. Maybe if someone has steered so far away from God, they're lost, that's an exception, but nobody should play God.
DeleteI also agree that you shouldnt change who you are you are who you are for a reason. plus I think that having plastic surgery is cheating it makes you someone else.
DeleteI disagree with your commet. While I think that humans should extend their abilities beyond that of a normal human, If some one is born with a defect, they should have the right to be fixed.
Delete"People are born the way they are ment to be- we shouldent play God and change that."
ReplyDeleteI agree with this to a certian point. I do not belive that people should change themselfs in the sense of things like a sex change or unessential plastic surgery.So its all depending on the matter of what you are changing. I belive that God created us in his image and made us the way that we are ment to be.
I agree with you. I think that certain types of surgical changes are stupid! Things like a skin graph to a burn victim would be okay and things of that matter. We shouldn't alter with what god already created. We are all perfect in his eyes.
DeleteI agree with this post 100% God made us the way he wanted us to be. We change throughout our lives but we are pretty much the way we are supposed to be. Changing your sex and changing your image with plastic surgery is wrong in my opinion. I strongly agree with this post
DeleteI agree with this post. People are the way that God meant for them to be, however would this apply to things such as learning disabilities? If someone has a learning disorder, and we are able to cure it, should we? I completely agree, however, with your opinion on unessential things such as unnecessary plastic surgery.
Deletei actually disagree with this because as i said in my paragraph that it's science and we should use it to our potential.And it's peoples choice to do that to themselves.god supposeldy made earth too why doesn't it matter that we change it?
DeleteI strongly agreed with 'The abilities to make reason and remember are what make people human' because in my opinion, it's a very true statement. If we didn't think for ourselves, and didn't have anything to remember, what kind of life would that be? We would be practically robots. Everyone needs to be able to make decisions, make choices worth remembering, or make a bad mistake and learn from it. Being human means that we all have feelings and a mind for ourselves. To me, that's what being human means.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this. I believe our memories form who we are, without memories we would all be the same. And if we are all the same, our world would go nowhere.
DeleteI strongly believe that it is morally wrong to be mean to someone even if they do not understand. You should not make fun of people ever. It doesn’t matter the circumstance. Being mean of people is completely in disregard for their feelings. You should treat people how you want to be treated. I know that no one wants to be bullied so, why do it? There is absolutely no excuse to be mean to someone.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with your statment. if someone dosen't have the abilty to realize you are being mean to them thats when you should be eccedingly nice to them.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree, you can be super smart and have everything but that means nothing if you arent happy and have no friends.
DeleteRather than people being born into who they are, I believe we all grow into who we are. And, once we are who we are, others should just accept it rather than attempt to change others. People are people and you should let it be. Playing god and trying to change a person isn't right at all. Don't form a person into what YOU want them to be, let them be who THEY want to be. People are all their own, don't try to change that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, we all grow into who we are. People shouldn't try to change people into what they think should be an ideal person.
DeleteI agree with this, people do change as they grow up and others shouldn't try to change them.
DeleteI agree with you. Certain experiences may change a person, but other people should let them be themselves. If you are try to change other people, it is likely that you are unhappy with the way you are too.
DeleteThe smater a person is doesn't always make him happier. Someone can be very happy and still not be the brightest. Your brain doesn't decide how happy you are. Whats around you also helps you to be happy. If you surround yourself with good and happy things you should also be happy. You decide your happiness not your IQ.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this completly. You don't have to be smart to be happy. You just put the things around you that make you happy, and that's all you need.
DeleteI agree with this because it is true. Happiness does not come from your intelligance, it comes from how you take life.
DeleteI agree that your IQ doesn't decide how happy you get to be. You don't have to be the happiest person in the world to be happy.
Deletei agree because im not the smartest person on this planet but i am happy most of the time because who i surround myself with. They make my day what it is.
DeleteBeing mean to people is wrong no matter what the situation is. Even if somebody doesnt understand or know its still wrong. People should learn to be nicer to other people, because most people that are bieng mean dont actually know the person they are being mean to. I feel that everybody should get a chance before they get judged or labeled, because they may end up being a really good person.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this, people that don't understand/know something could just be uneducated. Being mean to them wouldn't make them understand anything about what is going on.
DeleteBieng mean is most definetly not ok. If someone doesn't know something or understand something then you definetly should not be mean to them, just teach them what they dont know. If you are mean to people just because they dont know something see how far you go in life because everyone will not know everything you know. You have to just stay calm and be cool with everything and tell them and teach them so they do know instead of just being a jerk to them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement that it is not okay to be mean to anyone. You can never tell how they make take the insult, they could think less of themselves or other people might just brush it off and think nothing of it. Nobody knows everything so you need to teach and show them how to do it because maybe they never had a good example to follow.
Deletei agree being mean to anyone for any reason is not ok even more if its because they dont know something
DeleteI feel strongly about paragraph 3 because people believe that you shouldn't mess with humans genetic make-up and "stuff" like that,but whats the purpose of not doing it.Maybe we could find something about humans that we would have never guessed to find .It's science and tecnology we need to use it.
ReplyDeleteJust because someone is smart doesn't mean that they are happy. Ignorance is bliss is sometimes said that reminds me of this. Happiness doesn't come from knowing, you could be the most intelligent person in the world and still have no friends. Happiness is different for everyone but we are still human and need companionship.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this statement. People who don't know any better on the world or the things around them are probably the happiness. They don't have to worry about anything and just enjoy what is in front of them.
DeleteI agree with you on this because it's true you don't have to be smart in order to be happy. Everyone does need companionship and your IQ doesn't decide how happy you get to be.
DeleteI agree with yoou because, the less you know the less you have to worry about and the less you worry about the more happier you are. If you are very intelligent then you would be burdened by what most people will never know or fully understand.
DeleteI agree with this. Intelligence and happiness are two completely different things. In my opinion they have nothing to do with one another. You can be smart and happy, or you could be smart and unhappy. It all depends on you.
DeleteI mostly agree with your comment. Intelligence can not bring you happiness. The less you know the happier you will be. I don't believe friends really make a difference unless you are aware of whAt friends are then you would want a friend.
DeleteI belive that it is more important to be intelegent than it is to be emotional. Any one person can cry, or laugh, or love; but those who have true intelegence are very rare and spread sparsely. The world we live in is full of ignorant, yet very emotional people. If more people were intelegent then peoplecould not be manipulated through emotion. Emotion serves only as a tool to manipulate the weak willed, and the weak minded.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you fully, but by better to be, do you mean no one should have emotions or just focus more on their knowledge rather than emotions? If you mean to focus on one thing more, I fully agree. Lots of times people are downed upon because of how weak emotioned they are, I know from personal experience. Focusing more on knowledge rather than emotions can help people in so many ways.
DeleteI disagree with this statement. It is our emotions that make us human. The world would be terrible without any love or compassion. A person who had more random facts than they had love would be miserable. The great thing about humans is the fact that we can love and feel emotions. Knowledge is just about simple facts. It can not make you truly happy while emotions such as love can. A person can know everything there is about the world and still have no wisdom or reason. For these reasons I disagree with this statement and believe that wisdom and feelings are what can truly make man great.
DeleteI strongly disagree with the statement "technology should not be used to improve people mentaly or physically." I think if we have the ability to improve someone with a disabilities condition by technology we should do it because we can give them a chance at a better or normal life. I also think if we could use some form of technology to improve all people in a way that could prevent all life threatning diseases why should'nt we use it? If technology could be used to return a blind mans vision why should this technology go to waste. We may even be able to some day make people who are born collor blind able to see most colors so if we have the technology i say we shouuld use it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you to a point. If technology tries to take the place of a human doctor too much then people could become robot-like. Technology should not be given too much control over people. Changing any thing about a person can have a huge effect on that person. This effect could be good or bad. Most likely it will be good and it will improve the person' s life but you never really know what will happen when using technology.
DeleteMy opinions on these statements is mostly negative because some of them say that it is okay to be mean to people if they don't get it or that you're happy if you are smarter. Most of the statements I didn't agree on because I felt that they were wrong. It isn't okay to be mean to people. You are definatley not happy because of how smart you are. Some of the statments I felt were true though because family members shouldn't ever desert other family members, or that a negative experience is a little worthwhile if you learned your mistake from it. "People are born the way they should be and we shouldn't play God and change that" is something that I really agree on becuase it is a true statement. If someone is doing something you think is a little wrong just because it is something you wouldn't do doesn't give you any right to try and change them. You're not almighty and powerful so just let them be.
ReplyDeleteBad experiences can build up a person and help them to learn a lot about life. A person builds up character, integrity, and wisdom from negative events in their life. These bad events are vital to a person's development. If there were never any bad events in life then life wouldn't be as grand or wonderful. The reason that life is wonderful is because of the great danger in evil having it's way and of the strife in trying to overcome it. This is well described in the book written by C.S.Lewis,Out of the Silent Planet, "The air wouldn't have been so fresh nor the sun so warm if it were not for the danger in the water." The suffering that comes from these terrible situations is good because it allows people to learn to deal with pain and to look closer at their lives. For these reasons I believe that bad events in life are worthwhile and beneficial.
ReplyDeleteThe smarter a person is the more a person can explore and the more a person is aware of the inability to explore so much more than they can.This makes a person uncertain of much more than they are certain of, which makes the person scared that the unknown won't be good. This also makes the person more sad because the knowledge they feel is not obtainable will make them feel there is nothing they can do. The less the person knows the happier the person is.
ReplyDelete"The smarter person is the happier person." I don't agree with this because someone could be extremely smart and unhappy. On the other hand people that are extremely happy could be not so smart. The people I see as the happiest usually don't care enough/pay attention to what's going on. The smarter people pay more attention to everything that's going on and get stressed out about everything more easily.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% just because you are smart doesn't mean you are happy
DeleteFamily should never desert each other.
ReplyDeleteIf a family member continually does you wrong, you have a right to leave or walk away from them. We as humans have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I disagree with this. No matter how much bad a family member does to you, they are always going to be there at the end of each and everyday to help you through anything and everything. I believe that family are the ones that we rely on through hardships and happy times. Some family members might not talk as often as they'd like, but it's just the fact that you know someone is there for you no matter what.
DeleteJust because they are blood doesn't mean they are family technically.
DeleteI agree, if someone is a negative influence you should leave them, even if they are family. Just because someone is a family member doesn't mean they make your life better.
DeleteBut when all of your friends desert you, who are you going to turn to? Your family. They know everything there is to know about you and even though sometimes that isn't a good thing, they aren't just going to up and leave. No matter how bad the thing is that they have done to you or how bad the thing is that you did to them. They will always be there.
DeleteI strongly feel that families should never desert eachother because you need your family to get through tough times and to help you out when you need them. Without your family you aremore likely to be lonely and sad most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI Agree, but what happens if they do something to you that isnt forgivable? you still wouldnt desert them? Because i know that if someone did something to me that terrible no matter i would not be around them.
DeleteI feel strongly that God has made each and every one of us special. Everyone is put on this earth, though for a short time, we're here for a reason. No matter if you're mentally challenged, gay, or very intelligent, there is a purpose for you. Most people think they're put on earth just to live and to die, but that is not the case. Each one of us changes the world in some way. You might not figure out what your purpose is until a while down the road, but you'll still figure it out.
ReplyDeleteA bad experience is always something to learn off of. That way if you come to the same road you know whether or not to turn right or left.If you don't learn something from your mistakes then you're not paying close enough attention to the decisions you make.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that the abilities to reason and remember are what make people human. They might be the things that set us above other species, but not what make us human. I think that our feelings and emotions are what make us human. Without them, we would be like robots.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat girl. I agree computers can remember things longer than we can and they can also be built to somewhat reason.
DeleteI totally agree with this statement because, some people do not have the ability to remember anything whatsoever. Like when you get older,that doesn't make them non-human because they cannot remember, they are just as human as the rest of us.
DeleteI agree with this as well gurl. There is really nothing left of our lives if our emotion is taken out of the equation because we couldn't feel pride,or happiness, or even guilt for the things that we do.
DeleteI do not believe that if you are smart then you are happier because very smart people are not always the happiest people and if you are not very smart it doesn't mean you are unhappy. I am not as smart as some people but I am really happy and I love my life and wouldn't have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement. Happiness is not determined by how smart you are. Some people are born smarter than others but this does not mean that the smarter people are happier. True happiness is being kind to others and doing God's will. God made smart people and not so smart people, but he wants everyone to have a happy life.
DeleteI do not think that it is ok to be mean to people if they don't understand that you are being mean. Even if they don't know what it means, you and possibly some of the people around you would know. Also, that person could eventually find out what you said or meant, whether they didn't know you said it or didn't know what you meant. It would seem as though you were taking advantage of their inability to know or understand what you said, and using it as an opportunity to be mean, and that does not seem right.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with this. Just because someone doesn't have the ability to comprehend that you're being mean to them doesn't give you the right to be mean to them. Most people that are around you and that person should stand up for the person you are being mean to in the first place.
DeleteI feel strongly about family members not deserting eachother because at times family is all that some people have. When people's friends turn their backs on them, they can always go to their family for support or whatever the case is. But you have to think about how sad it would seem if somebody doesn't even have a family to go to just because the family disowned them. It just seems wrong to desert a family member.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you too my little iron man. Family should always be there for eachother in times of need. They should always help eachother face problems. Nobody should ever be left alone in this world.
DeleteA negative experience will occur sometime through out your life. you can make it into a good experience if you learn from the mistakes. the only way to know you truly succeeded is to first fail; only then do you kno wyou have found the right way. when something bad results form a desicion you made then you know if it ever comes up again what to choose.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you my big teddy bear. There is always going to be a negative experience in someones life that they can learn something from and become a better person.
DeleteI agree, bad experiences can be helpful if you learn something from them. Then later you can look back and try not to make the same mistakes.
DeleteI don't think it is ever ok to be mean to someone when they don't know you are making fun of them. I think it is worse to be mean to someone when they don't know it than when they do because then they could stand up for themselves. Being mean isn't ok even if the person you are making fun doesn't know it because it is still hurtful and rude.
ReplyDeleteEmotion is more then intellect.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with this subject because, the world is built around emotion.Everything has been
invented or improved because of intellect, but we wouldn't have that intellect without emotion.
without emotion we wouldn't have the drive to go through with anything, we would be smart enough to but we would never to come around to "feel" like doing it.
I think a negative experience is worthwhile if you learn something from it because I believe that things happen for a reason. So just because you didn't like what happened doesn't mean it was all bad because if you didn't have that experience you would never know what it feels like. So just because what happened isn't what you expected, if you never would have experienced it you would never know if thats something you would want to do or not. Even though it could make you sad or mad, it makes you stronger in the end and it shows you what you deserve.
ReplyDeleteI strongly disagree with "the ability to make reason and remember is what makes us human." Breathing and having a heartbeat is what makes it. Not being able to remember something doesn't mean your not human. It's called dementia, thousands of people have it or get it. It just simply means you can't remember things. And being able to make reason is the same exact thing as not being able to remember things. There's many people that are "brain dead" and they're still human. Having a disability doesn't mean your alien.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the ability to reason and remember is what makes us human because those abilities help make us who we are. To reason helps humans get along with other people and create new bonds and frienships. To remember helps us use our memory to help us feel better about things or express our feelings about something. If we didn't ever have these abilities, then what would that make of us? We would seem like nothing. We wouldn't learn anything. We would be "rocks", just laying there in the dirt watching everything that happens around us, not giving a care in the world.
