This is a blog i created as part of a requirement for my college government class. I am taking this government class because it is a required class in order to obtain my degree in International Relations and Global Studies, and Linguistics. I am hoping that this class will help to refresh and expand my knowledge of government and the way it functions. I feel this increase in knowledge will benefit me in my everyday life, in the pursuit of my degree, and also in my later endeavors.
When it comes to politics I think I definitely lean a little more towards the conservative side, but I base my voting off of the people and what they stand for rather than political party affiliation. I took a short little typology quiz and it told me that I most closely resemble survey respondents within the Upbeat typology group. This does not mean that I necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues. (http://typology.people-press.org/typology/results.php)
Here are some of my thoughts on major topics today:
I believe that you do not get anywhere, nor do you deserve to get anywhere, without hard work, patience and a positive outlook. When it comes to abortion I believe the woman has the right to choose whether she wants to have a child or not, up until that child is a full fledged individual. I am not saying I believe it is right, but I think it is up to the woman because after all it is her body that the child resides in. Same Sex Marriage: I think people should be able to do whatever makes them happy. "Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." When it comes to wars I do not condone violence nor sticking our nose where it does not belong, but there are some bad people in this world and we need to do what it takes in order to keep this country safe and secure. Freedom is definitely not free so if terrorists want to come knocking on our door then they better watch out because, "It'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you. Ah, brought to you, courtesy of the red, white and blue." (Toby Keith, "Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue") The Death Penalty: I do support the Death Penalty. I think that there needs to be no doubt in anyones mind that the person being punished in fact did commit the crime, but if they did commit a crime that treacherous, then they deserve the punishment. The Environment: I believe if we want our children and grandchildren to have a beautiful place to live we need to start taking better care of our planet. It is a very important problem to me. It is so easy to do little things to help, so do your part.
Those are just the basics on my views. There are so many important issues going on today that I could never elaborate on them all.
