Before we begin- The Giver by Rhiannon Bailey https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5 Post one of your agree/disagree statements below. en-us 2019-01-24 16:26:48 UTC 2025-09-26 12:23:41 UTC hello@padlet.com It would be better to never have to experience difficult challenges in life. https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324442644 I think that you should face difficult challenges in life because if nothing difficult ever happens then  when something difficult does happen you won't know what to do. For example if your parents do everything for you when you are growing up then when you move out you won't know how to live and you will end up spending lots of money on things that you could've done yourself but you were never taught how to because you parents just did it for you.]]> 2019-01-25 18:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324442644 I would rather have the right choice made for me than to have the freedom to make my own wrong choices. I strongly disagree with this because if you went through life with someone making decisions for you, you would never learn from your mistakes. I think learning from your mistakes is one of the best things you could be able to do in life. benjamine0714 https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324444401 2019-01-25 18:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324444401 It is better to be part of a group then it is to be alone. https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324445430
  • Well it is nice to have friends and not doing activities alone and having someone to talk to because if your alone you don't have anyone to talk to you about your feelings or what's happening in your life you'll go crazy. But every now and then we all need some alone time.

It your choice and how it affects you is your choice not someone else’s. God gave you life to live not for someone else’s to live it for you. How can I learn what's best for me when someone else is doing it all for me. alyssap0903 https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324446779 2019-01-25 18:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324446779 It is almost NEVER okay to lie. lianar0725 https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324460324 Lying is wrong, but we do it often enough that we don't even think before we do it. Lying can get you out of trouble for that very moment, but it will always come back to you late. The one time I would agree that you may need to lie, is if it was for the safety of yourself, or someone else. Lying is bad otherwise. We need to learn to do it less often. It can cause trouble. A LOT of trouble.

    It would be better to have good choices made for you, then be free to make your own bad choices.

    I strongly disagree with this. It probably feels great now to be able to have your own good choices made for you, but truly, your life would be very boring. people need to learn how to make their own decisions. if they make bad decisions, then they will probably be punished, and if they make good decisions, then they will probably be rewarded.


    It is better to be part of a group than be alone.

    Really depends on what you are doing, and where you are. If you are in a dangerous place, then it is probably better to be part of a group. Sometimes, it can be quieter or more peaceful when you are not in a group, but almost never safer. It is not always better though.


    It would be better never to have gone through difficult challenges in life. 

    If we spent the time that we live with our parents, never doing anything, than when you went off to live on your own, then you would never learn to do anything on your own and you would most likely fail at life. ]]>     2019-01-25 18:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324460324     would rather have the right choice made for me than to have the freedom to make my own wrong choices. https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324467768
  • I only partially disagree with that because you should have the freedom to make choices but you might need help from a, smarter, person like a parent or older brother or something like that.

Also I think that each person should be different and not the same. If you think about it if everyone was dictated the same no one would be different, it would be very boring .]]> 2019-01-25 19:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324473177 Choice https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324473946 It is better to choose than to have someone else do it for you. The freedom to choose is what makes us human. If we were not given the right to choose than we would be more like the AI we are trying to create that human. The freedom to choose where we want to live, The freedom to choose who we hang around with, the freedom to choose what we desire to be, the freedom to choose who we want to be in the world, the freedom to choose what we want to bring to the world. If we were not allowed to choose we would not get all of these wonderful things, WE WOULD NOT BE HUMAN. ]]> 2019-01-25 19:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/324473946 I would rather have the right choice made for me than to have the freedom to make my own wrong choices. https://padlet.com/rbailey3986/7fndi2ngfsf5/wish/325954575
  • I think I’d rather make my own choices because the no one can control what I do and think. Also I think it’s not fair for people to not be able to make their own choices.

  • Agree. It is usually better to have experience. It is not required in most cases. If you have experience you are less likely to get injured.

  • I completely disagree. When you experience difficult challenges in life, it teaches you lessons and you become more knowledgeable about what to do next time this happens. If somebody you know is in a tough spot you can help them, because you’ve been through something similar before.
