This gives humans the ability to do more complex things in their daily lives. Such as having a job, driving a car, reading a book, or just to cook a meal. Basic animal instincts are shown in regular life during the coronavirus when everyone rushed to buy food and toilet paper and left the grocery stores almost empty. They are also shown in sports when it comes to being aggressive over other people in order to win the ball or to score in the net. ]]> 2020-03-30 13:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/482158186 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/482836967 I believe that there are so many things that people can do that is far past forgiveness. One MAJOR example is if your significant other is not loyal and cheats on you. That is one thing I would never forgive because I would lose all trust in you and that person would lose all of the respect that I had for them. Cheating is something that should never, ever be done. It is way past forgiveness. Another thing that someone could do to you is to leave you when you need them most. If your long time best friend leaves you when, say, you’re at an awful state of mind, that is past forgiveness as well. Your friend is supposed to be there for you at your best and your worst, and if they are not there to help you through your worst, that is something I could not forgive them for. Again, they would lose all the respect I have for them.]]> 2020-03-30 17:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/482836967 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483063097 I think humans can be generally caring towards each other, it just depends on who the person is and if they want to be caring. Like, a celebrity would much rather help out another celebrity than a normal person with a 3-5 job. This is because the other celebrity has a higher status. But this doesn’t mean the first celeb is apathetic, it just means they would rather help somebody who might help them later in life.]]> 2020-03-30 19:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483063097 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483068895 Faith is what a person believes or fully trusts in. Yes there is a difference between religious and personal faith. Religious faith meaning a person believes in a God or something spiritual based on belief rather than proof while personal belief is someone's full confidence in something. To have blind faith means to trust something will be good with little or no evidence; putting your full support in a cause. Someone might lose faith due to evidence presented against them or the fact that something may not happen that they thought would. ]]> 2020-03-30 19:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483068895 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483069908 The strongest bonds that people have with others are created by being themselves, being open/honest, showing and demonstrating trust, being a good friend no matter what gets in the way, and having someone's back. You could have known someone since you were little but maybe not have the same strong relationship and bond that you have with someone you have known for a few years; all based on the level of trust and comfortableness you feel with that other person. I think every bond is breakable but depending on the level of trust and love you feel for someone it could be unbreakable. ]]> 2020-03-30 19:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483069908 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483143616 People seek power over others because they want to be the dominant one in the relationship. Being in power leads to being the decision maker and feeling that no one can tell you you’re wrong or break you down physically or emotionally. Some people display power over another by bossing them around and telling them how to live their life. Also, a few signs that you are being overpowered is people start bringing out the worst in you, you feel worth less, and you start talking about people you don't like. People overpowering others is apparent everywhere in today's world. Some examples are at school, in friend groups, sport teams, work, and even countries. ]]> 2020-03-30 20:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483143616 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483267311 There could be many things a person could do that are past forgiveness. However, I believe that strongly depends on the person who has the ability to forgive. If a friend or family member did something that would require forgiveness in order to repair the relationship, it would depend on the person they hurt. Some people are more forgiving than others, whether it’s because that’s how they were raised or it just comes naturally. Or maybe forgiveness doesn't come so easily, and that could be because of experience or just natural instinct.]]> 2020-03-30 22:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483267311 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483478457 Hope is the only force that keeps humans going during trying times and depressing events. To know that good times may be coming later gives people a reason to keep pushing through the bad times. If given false hope, people may be working toward an end goal that may not exist or may not be what they wanted. Giving this false hope may destroy any motivation they had and make it more difficult for them to regain any hope, as they’re more cautious of their possible happiness being shattered again. Personally, I hope for more experiences and people I can meet to make life more interesting than already, perhaps seeing the supernatural at some point.]]> 2020-03-31 03:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/483478457 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/484611219 I think that there are many bonds that are created through friendship, and trust.  If you can trust somebody completely and you truly know the person, that will be a strong bond. All bonds can be broken, but it may be harder to break certain bonds than others because you could have been friends for a long time. ]]> 2020-03-31 14:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/484611219 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/484837533 There are certain things that people could do that are past the level of forgiveness. I think that these things would have to be pretty brutal but they are out there. Someone such as having an affair with your friends husband/wife could ruin a Friendship forever, and is validated to do so. They are many other things that it would be very hard to forgive someone for, and they somewhat vary from person to person, but everyone has something that’s gonna push them past that line]]> 2020-03-31 16:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/484837533 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/485243052 I do not think that hope is necessary for human survival, although it would be very helpful and make survival much easier and life better. Some people live their lives every single day without hope because they may have lost all of their hope and given up, but they are still surviving without it. Hope can be motivating to reach your dreams and your goals. If you do not have hope, you will not work hard to reach what you are trying to reach. If you have hope for something, you will do your best to get there which is motivating. Hope can be misleading because you may not get what you are hoping for. No matter how hard you work for it or how long you hope for it, you may not get it because some things just do not work out. Some things that I have hope for in life are to play field hockey in college, get married, have a family, and be able to support my family. ]]> 2020-03-31 19:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/485243052 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/485317168 People seek power to better themselves. Having control and power over someone else gives them more ability and authority. One with power can display this through arrogance or a confident nature, and also through manipulation to gain even more power. This is very apparent in politics today. Politicians often manipulate their audience to gain more power and control. They seek control and respect. ]]> 2020-03-31 19:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/485317168 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/487822195 There are several situations in which it is a child’s job to care for their parent.  The most common being that the parent simply gets sick or ages.  In these circumstances it is a child’s job to care for their parent and make their whole situation much easier.  If a parent is sick, they will be unable to do many of the chores they usually do that are integral to the family.  They will also be in need of a stress free recovery environment and any extra care coming with their illness whether it is a minor cold or a major ailment.  In these situations a child must work to provide the stress free environment and pick up the chores, to the best of their ability.  They must provide any other assistance that is needed, again, to the best of their ability.  There is also the scenario where the parent is simply aging, perhaps unable to take care of themselves or pay their way.  In this scenario it is the child's job to provide the care as well as they are, whether that comes in the form of the child caring for parent themselves, or hiring someone to care.  ]]> 2020-04-01 23:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/487822195 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/489451971 Faith is believing in something you can't see or prove. Religious faith could be believing in a God that you cannot see or prove, but you have faith he exists. Personal faith is faith in yourself or others. I can have faith that I will do well on the test beforehand but I cannot prove I will yet( future ).  Or it can be trusting in someone fully. Blind faith is trusting someone for no reason. You can lose faith in religion if someone dies and you blame God or stop having faith in him. On a personal level you can lose faith if someone you trust lies to you.  ]]> 2020-04-02 16:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/489451971 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/489571105 I don't think that you can generalize the entirety of the human race. The compassion of a person is truly based on their early life experiences. While as apart of this species we would like to believe that we are compassionate, I think that thought process will lead to the harm of ones trust.]]> 2020-04-02 17:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/489571105 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/489948250 hope is what drives us as humans forward. hope is necessary for survival, since if we at least have a small sliver it will drive us to fight. in some circumstances, false hope is necessary to get people through dangerous/hard times.]]> 2020-04-02 21:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/489948250 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/490172740 I believe that hope is necessarily for human survival because without hope keeping some people going, what would they have to live for. Hope can be motivating because it can drive you to do things and it can drive you to at least think that something is going to happen. Hope can be misleading though, some people get a false sense of hope when they believe something too much or get tricked into believing something too much. Some things that I hope for in my life are that everyone in my family can stay safe from the pandemic going on in our world right now. ]]> 2020-04-03 01:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/490172740 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/490183805 I think the strongest bonds are created through trust. If you don’t trust someone, you can’t get close to them. Once you trust a person, the bonds are strengthened by the time spent together and the memories that develop after that. Also, will trust a person will tell you everything about them and I feel that is how the strongest bonds are created. Although, you can trust someone but not feel a connection with them, that is why you have to get to know them as well. I don’t think bonds are unbreakable. I think that throughout life things change and people change, and people grow apart. All bonds have the potential to break, because things always change. Even some familes grow further apart and break, along with a group of best friends.]]> 2020-04-03 02:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/490183805 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/491908675 I believe that humans tend to be more concerned with protecting themselves rather than caring for others. Most of the people out there will put somebody else down or forget about or leave somebody just because it could help them be more successful. People tend to want success for themselves rather than see other people thrive. An example of this is in big cities where there are a ton of homeless people. Most people just walk away and distance themselves or say they don’t have money, when most usually do. Instead of being nice and helping out someone in need, most people would rather keep even just a dollar for themselves.]]> 2020-04-03 20:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/491908675 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/492122191 I think seeing as though humans are very dependent on other human contact, it is easy for us to feel empathy and care for eachother.  it is not uncommon to feel sad if someone else is crying or to smile if someone else is in a good mood. because of this type of relationship humans have with mostly everything and everyone, it is important for many to be remembered and cared for. ]]> 2020-04-04 03:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/1qy639hnvcmg/wish/492122191
