Welfare

1.       Welfare will make people lazy / Welfare could make people more motivated

2.       Gives children improved nutrition / Kids will live just as long as any other kid

3.       democrats are the only supporters of welfare /  many other people that are democrats don’t support it

4.       Longevity of life medically / They don’t go to the doctor because they can’t afford a shot

5.       People with welfare will have a higher income / People on welfare don’t have a very high income

6.       Welfare makes people expect handouts / some people on welfare don’t want it but have to be on it

7.       People on welfare are more susceptible to bad behavior / they respect receiving it and stay in good graces when they are on it

8.       People on welfare will not commit to jobs or family without it / some are committed to finding a job and staying with their family while on welfare

When Clinton speaks of his welfare approach I agree totally. He says that it is to help struggling families get back up on their feet and then they can be taken off welfare once they can support themselves. His idea also says that it should take no more than five years to do this. Today many people are on welfare and not all of them, but most of them abuse it and don’t use it to get back on their feet but instead continue to struggle in life. When he had this idea it was about bettering the poor and helping them not giving them more of a black eye for being lazy and helpless. I believe that he was correct in what he said about welfare, five years is plenty to help you get back on your feet, but during those years you need to work your tail off trying to help better yourself. If you don’t help better yourself then why should anyone else try to help you? This plan is full proof because it has a deadline that needs to be met or you don’t get welfare any longer. This is all something that can help motivate people on welfare and make us feel better about giving them money when we know it is going to good use.

If we can't separate our civilized self from our savage self which will take over? I believe this could end up going either way due to how the person at stake was raised. Some people in their life were raised slightly different than others. Some people have a background of violence in their family and they keep all of that bottled up inside and they are genuinely nice people, on the other hand some people that have violent backgrounds may be violent people as well because of that. Now not all people will have this side to them, some may have nice polite backgrounds and they feel that rebelling is the way to life where others with a good family life may find that being polite and nice is the way to life. Now some of this may change when all of these mix together in a big melting pot of different ideals. I feel that it will be much like in the Lord of the Flies, the kind side would kick in for a while but eventually the savage side will take over because it will turn into the survival of the fittest.

 

How is a civilization created?  Are people controlled by society or is society controlled by people? Civilization is created from people that bring together and unite their ideals. They find ways to survive in the most efficient way possible. Once everyone has contributed ideas they all have to put those ideas to work in man power, and when that comes together and everything is running smoothly that is what creates a civilization. Society is shaped by people’s ideals. So when everyone puts in their own ideas then society either shuts them down or conforms to them and accepts them and that is how society is shaped. When everyone comes together and they all bring their own something special to the table that is when society is shaped and controlled by the ideals of the people.

I propose that the drinking age be lowered to 19 due to the amount of people drinking in colleges. I don't think it would be right to drink in high school because people need to be more dedicated to school and their sports teams if they participate on them. Once you graduate high school you are technically considered an adult and adults should have the right to drink if they choose to do so. Not all people go to college after school, plenty of kids begin working somewhere right out of school so why cant those people drink. I think 19 is the golden age for drinking, it is the right age for people in college to be able to drink and it is the appropriate time to drink for the people that go right into the working aspect of their life. Make the drinking age 19 because it is ultimately the most appropriate and it is the right thing to do to save kids from trouble in their younger years.
