I Believe Essay September 12, 2014

        
This I Believe
            I believe that when President Obama stated that he “wasn’t putting boots on the ground in Syria” that he was making a bad choice. I believe that racism has no part in the recent shootings in the St. Louis suburbs and any other shooting that involves the police. I believe that what happens to a famous sports player that he/she should not be punished over the things that don’t even happen during the sports season.  I believe that the children in today’s society don’t have respect for their elders or parents. I believe that immigrants shouldn’t be able to get across the border. I believe that music can help someone through their and through rough times. I believe that every girl can do most anything a guy can do.
            I believe President Obama is making the wrong decision by not putting troops on the ground because just hitting them with air strikes will not slow them down. With troops in the area it would help the people who aren’t doing wrong to others. Troops would also do better than air strikes because they would be able to capture the leaders who are doing wrong. President Obama shouldn’t be the only one choosing what should happen. I think that we should be voting on a lot of the decisions that Obama is making. If we the American’s had a choice I think we would think about nuking Syria and not just an air strike. I think a nuke would do better than an air strike because then we wouldn’t have worry about the terrorists. I still think having soldiers on the ground is the best idea because we could not only control the terrorist groups but we could train the countries civilians.
            I believe that the shooting in the St. Louis area has no part of racism because if a kid was committing a crime they should be punished. The person should not walk up to the officer and act like they have a weapon of any sort. I don’t think it was racism because the officer was doing his job to protect the other people. All this wouldn’t be happing if people weren’t trying to rob businesses and then going to an officer like you’re going to hurt them. The reason the officer shot the man was because he protecting himself. I would also protect myself if someone was coming up to me and acting like they had a weapon and was trying to harm me. I wouldn’t consider this a hate crime or a racism crime because an officer was doing what he had to do to protect himself.
            I believe that when a sports player does something wrong during the offseason that he/she shouldn’t get in trouble from the owners of the team or league they are. For example the Ray Rice situation yes what he did may be wrong, but it is wrong for them bring it back up at the beginning of a sports season and then kick him out of the NFL. If it takes the league to go over a clip multiple times then the player shouldn’t be getting a punishment over the problem. Ray Rice isn’t the only player doing wrong, there are many other players that are making decisions they shouldn’t be making and they aren’t getting kicked out of the sport. If one player commits a crime or does drugs they should all get the same punishment. I believe this because these people we call famous are role models to younger people and if they are doing this the younger ones will think its okay.
            I believe that the respect for parents and elders has gotten worse than it has ever been. I believe this because parents aren’t teaching their children to respect others, the children think it is okay to disrespect the elders because they don’t have a good role model to learn off of. So instead of learning respect for you’re elders they are use to seeing people disrespect them. They think it is okay to disrespect because they have no respectful role models. The only kids that really have the respect now days would be military children and church families.    
             I believe that the immigrants that are getting into the United Sates should be getting deported as soon as they are spotted here illegally. They shouldn’t have the right to be here because they are breaking the law and they could simply get their green card and live here legally instead of running from the law there whole lives. A good way to fix this problem is to put up fence up that they can’t knock down or get passed and we could also get better security. The immigrants are trying to start a life here so they can live off of our government because they’re government isn’t as good as ours.

            I believe any woman can do most anything a man can do, women can hold a job down just as well as any man, a woman can work just as hard too, they may have less muscle but they have the drive to get just as much done. I know many single woman with children and they have the capability to take care of kids, hold down a job to support, and make sure the house is cleaned up for the health of the children.
