This article shows that the government has a lot of power. And this can relate of the “lord of the flies” because jack made a lot of decisions that the other boys, didn’t like. Just like Stephen Harper made a decision about the abortion information. Stephen Harper did not think about the consequences that it can lead to, and also jack did the same thing he didn’t think about the consequences.

This article shows that Roethlisberger is the most hated athlete in the world. This reminded me of jack because he is the most hated person the island. Also he wanted everything the way he wanted. Not listen to anyone else, and he was kind of jealous of Ralph because everyone liked Ralph better then Jack.

I think this article is a good example of leadership. Gena Robertson took the time to help the children from a long time. She is the president of school’s cool. She thinks that her products will reach the children who need it, no matter where they live. All she wants is that children, who are struggling in school, shouldn’t be struggling because they will have troubles catching up to their peers.

bullying

Beautiful day, sun shining on my face

Reach the school, got to race

Race of freedom, on one to help me

I'm alone in this big world

Someone help a 9 year old

First day of school was the best day of my life

Going to older grades, getting older

wasn't my dream, i just wanted to quickly graduate

At a age of 16, still got bullied at school

People call me "bitch,goody goody,the slut"

My dreams are crushed, on one in the world that would understand

Not even the closest friends of mine

Got no choice,but die

No one wants me in this word

No one will notice i'm gone.

Freedom of Speech

In today’s society it is agreed that there should be limits to most constitutional guarantees or laws. There are many different laws that advocate freedom, such as freedom of information, freedom of association and also freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the liberty to speak without limitation or censorship . Freedom of speech gives everyone the right to speak out anything they believe is needed to be said and/or anything they believe is needed to be spoken aloud to inform society about what is going on. Everyone needs to be heard, whether or not what they have to say is right or wrong, each person in society should be able to express themselves freely without the fear of breaking the law. Everyone must be given the right to be heard; freedom of speech is a necessary law that should not have any limitations towards what people need to say.

Freedom of speech is a law that is recognized as a human right. This is one of those laws that should not be put under limitations. Everyone should be given an equal right regarding speech. By having the library to speak, it gives everyone a chance to express themselves through words. Expression through words is mandatory to recognize how a person is, and what type of behaviour they have. For example a person that is in a court room that has some things to say about the defendant but is unable to say everything necessary, and loses the case unjustly because of the restrictions put upon the law. Therefore restrictions should not at all be put upon the freedom of speech.

In conclusion, looking at all the factors necessary for freedom of speech, no limitations should be applied to this constitutional guarantee. If restrictions were to be applied people would not get a chance to express themselves as well as they would be able to express themselves without having a restriction put upon this constitutional guarantee. Even if a person does not have something nice to say they should not be blocked out from saying it, it shows what type of person they are and describes who they are talking about. Morally taking away a few rights from freedom of speech or putting restrictions on it is wrong. Also religiously it is also not right to put restriction on freedom of speech. Everyone should be given the library to say what is needed to be said without restriction or fear of breaking the law.

As time changes, so do people and their responsibilities. The kinds of responsibilities and obstacles the present generation has to deal with now are much different from what the past generations had to deal with. Some of them were not even present. Nowadays, the generation has to deal with obstacles such as dealing with the stress of attending school as well as having a job. They also have to deal with peer pressure for drugs and alcohol, something their parents probably did not experience back in their time. Moreover, relationship problems are also becoming a major issue these days as well.

Firstly, in the past generations most people usually had work to focus on or school to focus to on. Nowadays kids find themselves dealing with the stress of both. They have to manage to keep their grades up and pay attention in school as well as be responsible and make their own money by going to work. The stress of trying to do well in school and making our parents proud as well as trying to be independent and getting a job so we can pay for our own things can sometimes be overwhelming and difficult. It usually has a negative impact on the individual and stresses them out as they would like to have a life other than school and work.

Secondly, peer pressure is a huge deal nowadays because people are always convincing others to try something such as alcohol or drugs. This is really hard to deal with as one tries to fit in but they also do not want to make a bad decision that will permanently influence their own life. Dealing with drinking and drugs is a big deal in our generation because it seems like everyone is doing it and it’s just you that is left out. This is when individuals struggle with the stress of the choices they make. Even though it’s as easy as saying “no” one has to deal with what there friends will think of them which adds to the stress of everything else.

Lastly, relationships are a major issue in this generation. People look for emotional and physical support from an individual who they care about dearly. When their significant other get into fights or breaks up, they have to deal with the lack physical and emotional support they use get. This can get highly stressful as they have been so use to the support being there thus stressing them out and making it a major issue as it affects the normal mood of the individual. Relationships were more serious back in the days so it was not half as stressful.

In conclusion there are many responsibilities that teenagers have to face that their parents did not. It was a much simpler time back then and there was not as much stress as there were many jobs available; drugs were not really used as school socials, and relationships were much more serious.
