If a terrorist came on a plane that I was controlling and they wanted convicted criminals, I would let the criminals be set free. I would try to make an agreement to the terrorist, but like most terrorist they probably will not listen to anything you got to say. For example, the attack on the twin towers was ridiculous for someone to do such a thing. For what reason was it done? I don’t believe anyone knows the true meaning on why it was it done to America. If I was in charged of the nation, I know the attack on the twin towers was upsetting to everyone in America, but I believe that we did not have to send our troops to Iraq and the different places just for the terrorist’s ignorant actions. Even though they wanted to be ignorant why does the US? I don’t understand that part. This war could’ve been exempted. Now the US is in a huge situation just because of this war. It is hard to escape from a war and many of our Americans are dying for no reason, because this could have been stopped.
If I was in charged I would not let the media talk about everything that is going on and what is planned to happen. Today I believe that the media talks too much. While the situation was going on about the 911 attack the media talked about everything that US wanted to be done and what was going to be done and the Iroquois knew, because it was broadcasted everywhere. So, I would not let the media know more than what I wanted it to know personally. I would not have sent anyone to fight in a war. If it is unnecessary to do such thing then why do it. Why couldn’t us Americans let this go and continue even though it was hard? Because Americans do not think about their actions before they do them and they were angry and upset and so all they could think about was war.
Today the 911 effect is remembered everyday. Anyone who watched the twin towers fall whether it was on television or right there in New York it was devastating. I know exactly where I was and what I was doing. It is very sad, but the government and the president acted in the wrong manner. No one knew this situation was about to happen and so when Bush knew and heard about it in his mind he didn’t know what he was going to do. Since the 911 attack on the towers the airline people and several different travel companies are more precautious and strict about the items and bags you bring. Why did this have to happen to make the airlines and other travel agencies to become strict and precautious? If I was in charged I would have to take all the precaution steps and I would have to be strict severely. I would’ve always been very cautious. Americans took the US for granted and no one should ever take it for granted. You never know when something else may come up like the 911 attack. More than likely this same thing will not happen again the way it did though.

My Point of View of Absolutist and Relativist
Topic: Right or Wrong?
Today everyone have their own opinions and morals. I believe that everyone should have their own side to pick from. I believe that I am an absolutist, because I have my own morals and my own beliefs on certain situations when some people may think that it is not right. Moral absolutism is a belief on their absolute standards that can be questioned and judged. Moral relativism is a philosophical view that what is right or wrong and good or bad is not absolute but variable and relative, depending on the person, circumstances, or social situation.
.
For example prejudice and racism is a good example of right and wrong situations. I believe that no one should be racist just based on someone color of their skin. I call myself an absolutist, because I believe that it don’t matter what color you that you can date whoever you care about and love besides what someone thinks about it. I know several people who do not believe on that. Today I see a lot of people that are prejudice against one another and I don’t understand why. God put us all here on earth to get along with each other and to interact with each other. No one should discriminate on one another just because of race, color, or for some outrageous reason. I don’t believe it is called for someone to judge someone based on their color. On the other hand we have some people that do it daily and they will never change, but they have their own morals and opinions.
Another good example is committing a crime. Someone commits a crime everyday. One crime that I see that is broken a lot is stealing. Yes, stealing is a crime. Why should someone steal something that they can or cannot afford? It is not worth to steal something, because in the long run you will be paying more for the item than what you would have paid for it if you just purchased the item. You may end up in jail just for stealing a little simple item when I believe that you could just ask someone to get the item for you so you won’t have to worry about getting caught stealing and more than likely they will purchase the item for you. You only have a 50/50 chance to start with so why risk you life of paying a large fine or even going to jail just for an item when you could just ask someone to purchase the item for you. I believe one crime is just as bad as another crime and the police should take action in any crime, because they are all crimes. For instance, if someone murders someone I believe they should be put in prison for life and never get out. On the other hand if someone murders someone in the case of self defense and if there is a clear evidence of it being self defense then they should not be punished for that. If it is done intentionally then they should be punished. But in most cases of stealing the purchaser has the chance to put the item back or for the company to call the police and if the purchaser does not put the item back then the police should take serious action and follow the procedures for being a thief.
A final example is about gay marriages. Today a lot of people agree with gay marriages and believe that is okay to do. I believe that two people of the same race should not be together. I believe God put two different races on earth so that a guy can be with a girl and not two of the same. It doesn’t make any sense to me for someone of the same race to be married to each other or to date each other in any way. That’s why I feel that I am an absolutism because I have my own opinions just like everyone else. I just do not agree with gay marriages at all.

My Perspectives on Interracial Dating
Topic:Perception
In our society today many people do not believe that we should date out of our race. Many people say they are not prejudice, but they think that you should stay with your same color. My parents are that way and they don't believe in that. I do not feel that way. I believe that God made us all the same we are just different colors on the outside but on the inside we are all the same. I have been dating someone out of my race for three years now and I just don't feel right when I go out in public because certain people treat you different when you they see who you are dating. I have gone through a lot for the person who I am with. No one should judge the person just by their color, but from what is on the inside of that person. I don't believe someone should have to hide the person they are with just because they are not the same color. If God didn't want people of different races to be together, he wouldn't put us all on earth together. That is what I believe.
Now, let me tell you a little about my background just because of the person who I date. Like I said, I have been with my boyfriend for three years now and every bit of that three years I have had to hide our relationship from my family, except my aunt. Still to this day my relationship with him is behind their eyes. I have been caught with him several times and I have gotten in a lot of trouble just for seeing him. I wish my parents wouldn't be the way they are. It makes no sense for someone to judge the person you love or try to disown you just because the person you love is not the same color. I am going to tell my parents very soon about the person who I am with, but I am so nervous because I want my family just as much as I want him. It is a hard decision to choose from. But my parents cannot run my life for me and they cannot pick the person who I love. I moved out of my house after graduation and when I started college I lived with my aunt who is married to a man of a different color and then I decided I wanted to get my own apartment so that my boyfriend can come to be with me everyday. We are staying together but everytime my parents come to see me I have to hide his belongings and he goes to my cousins house until they leave. It is very agitating to keep hiding our relationship because we love each other and we have to hide our relationship just because he is a different color. I hate having to be called names and being mistreated by the prejudice people that is in our society. I just believe everyone should be treated equally and that no one should judge a person by his or her appearance but from what is on the inside and never let someone run your life because if someone runs your life for you then you will never be happy yourself. It is your choice on who you love and who you chose to be with. Just always go with what is in your heart and not what no one says.
One day when I was with my boyfriend at his house, my grandmother came up and took pictures of my car outside of his apartment. She took these pictures to show my parents that I was somewhere elese besides where I was suppose to be. At the time I was staying at my grandmothers house and my parents were staying in Florida, so then my grandmother goes home and packs my things and up. After everything was packed up my cousin came and stayed with me at my mothers house instead of staying with my grandmother. Now, my grandmother wants me to stay with her every chance I get. She doesn't even look at that anymore. I am the person who tries to treat everyone equal.

Myself
My name is Samantha Brannen. I am a freshmen here at macon state college, but this is my second semester here. I had to take learning support classes when I first started. I live and work here in warner robins. I am majoring in nursing and I plan on graduating in May 2010. I enjoy surfing the web, talking on the telephone, and shopping. I graduated from Macon County High School in May 2006. I am not married and I do not have children yet. I am a very busy person, but I try to stay on task and get the task done. I do not like to start something and not finish it. I am not very good in English, but I study to try to get better at it. I love math. Math just comes easier to me than anything else. I am good at writing essays once I get started on the essay.
In High School, I was a merit student. I enjoy coming to school, but I wish it didn't take so long to complete to get a degree. While I was in high school my senior year I was on the youth apprenticeship program. While I was on the program I worked at the Flint River Community Hospital and CVS pharmacy. I am currently a Certified Nursing Assistant.
