Stand in different situation
The
lecture and the activity engaged us students to know our position in different
situations. In the activity, students
were asked questions that can be answered with yes or no. If the answer is yes,
then the student must go to the left side while if the answer is no, the
students must be on the right side.
Based on my observation, there are only few students in the room who are
considered a liberalists. There are certain situations that may somewhat
contradict your position.
There
is a saying that in life, not everything is permanent. As time passes by, one’s
ideas and opinions are changing. It varies through time and situations in our
lives. Our mind is developing as we open our eyes to our environment. You can
be liberal when you’re young but when you grow up, you develop to be
conservative. It can also happen for you to be a consistent conservative
starting from your younger years up to present.
During
my POLISCI subject, when I took the test, the result was that I am a
conservative. When we did the activity the result was consistently saying that
I am a conservative. Now, I think I still am on the process of finding myself
because I know that being a conservative does not really mean that you are a
really a straight conservative type of person. It may depend on you. In my
opinion, abortion is not right. It is not a solution whenever someone gets
pregnant. In the first place, the two people who are having a sexual
interaction with each other must be responsible enough for whatever it may
result to. There are two ways that one may resort to, one is be in favor of
abortion and prefer to do it or the second one is make the child live but in
the end figure out how to support the basic needs of the child and teach the
good manners and values with the risk of not being able to do so and make the
child suffer from a life he does not deserve to live in. Some are making
children to sell to others who were not able to have their own child and get
money from it and sometimes it is being controlled by a syndicate. Using
abortion for saving the life of the mother during pregnancy is also fine since
I am not the one who should really decide. The couple who are undergoing this
kind of circumstances must be the one to decide because still, who am I to
decide in this situation where I am not involved in. If the couple agreed using
abortion in order for the mother to live, they should do it. On the other side of the story, the LGBT
community do also have the rights to live. As long as they are not doing bad
things. Why would we limit them? We are all people. We all know that every
person has his or her own idea, characteristics and way of happiness. We are
all unique by being ourselves. The LGBT community is just being true to their
own self. They are just making themselves happy and contented. Why would we
push them into a person who is just a mask of what they should be and make them
unhappy and feel uncomfortable with. There is also a prevailing issue about gay
marriage. In my opinion, it is fine with me. Everyone has the right to love and
be loved. It is not a sin of a person that he or she loves a person with the
same sex. They did not even choose to be like that. As for me, I do not find
gender as an issue. It is just an identity of a person. Whether you like it or
not, you have to deal with it.
I
am
a conservative though there is still
a part of me that is a liberal. I know that as I search for myself, I can
answer all the question and can be really consistent with my position.
