People were angry at the fact the they are putting a place of for muslim worship. Since people in the muslim religion where the ones that destroyed the world trade center its easy to see why people would be angry. i think that building the site is a bad is a bad idea. I think that people should have a place of worship but because of the tension that it has on that site right now. Then that means that they should hold on to the plan for a while. People are very sentimental about their relatives that were lost in the explosion and they have a right to be angry. So as for the mosque they should hold on to it for a latter year our change the concept of it from a mosque to a place of worship for everyone.

If i was a foreigner coming to this country i would assume that this country was filled with drugs and that this was a common thing in this country to a point were people don't care anymore if people die in a public setting. These assumption are both true and false because this country has a serious issue with drugs and the consumption of them. but also false because of the simple fact that this country cares if you die and it doesn't matter who you are they will try to help and justify your murder or get you help before it escalates to the point of death.

How can our society improve? Do we need to?

Our society can improved through a lot of effort and work. this country need the enforcement of drugs and illegal products and through foreigners smuggling illegal contraband into this country as well.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

What does this mean to me? This means to me that everything that you do has an opposite and equal reaction. Now I know I got a little scientifically there put it applies to peoples lives far beyond the science way. But it means that if you wish to see better neighborhoods a better country or even a better life for yourself then you need to make that change happen for yourself. If you wish to see better neighborhoods then instead of complaining that you have a dirty neighborhood go out and clean it. Paint the houses, plant flowers do something positive. If you wish to see a better country go out and vote for people that are going to create good change or run you. If you want a better life be a better person and comply with your needs. Everything that you do affects you and everyone on a bigger scale. Be the best that you wish to see everywhere because by breathing you make an impact on the lives of others. So make it a positive one.

Quotes

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

This quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt

This impacts the statement because Eleanor Roosevelt was a woman of great compassion and understanding of everyone. So the fact that she said this does not surprise me in the least. The fact that a person that loves everyone said that makes me think about this in a better like.
