Response to prompt (assisted suicide)

I think this topic has very differnt sides. I think if the person is suffering, for example someone who has a really uncureable illness i think its best to not let them suffer, if you really care for that person then it will be ok, not doing it in a violent crime committing act though. It best to let other ppl know also and get their points of view on it. But if the suicide is involving some teen who is just going thru some depression in their lives, its wrong!!! that person needs medical attention and should be watched. Depression is something u can get thru so its not a suicide call. some ppl might view assisted suicide as wrong but in certain situations its ok but in a legal way.

Response to prompt 8 (Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving in fact has changed dramatically, it's now one of those holidays most spent eating and off to have fun. Some ppl still celebrate it with a peaceful dinner and give thanks but not many ppl care so much about giving thanks now. I think alot of ppl are just anxious to stuff their faces (me included) and go to sleep. people don't really wanna spend it with their family now, its like as if they leave that for christmas. Yes, it would be cool to have thanksgiving like before but now with society nowadays thats hard to do. We can give thanks and gratitude any other day, it doesnt specifically have to be Thanksgiving.

Response to prompt 7 (Influence from the media)

I think music has given me the most impact.. music is very inspirational and sometimes you can relate to stuff it says, sometimes even do what it says, but this sometimes isn't good for some ppl, some lyrics can become dangerous to minds who are easily manipulated. NOT EVERYONE SHOULD DO WHAT MUSIC SAYS. To me music has given me some ideas on how i should live life, for example be happy and let the days just play out instead of planning day by day. sometimes music has cheered me up when i am down, its helped me when i need to relax, thats why i think music to me is more impacting and influential.
