An example would be if you were locked into a building with absolutely no way out with a murderer, in order to live you have to kill him. It's either the murderer lives or you live. To kill in self defense, I believe it is justified.

You and your friend have a special bond that can't be broken easily while a stranger is just another person living on the same planet as you. nothing special. You have no bond with a stranger you simply don't know them at all.

For example, when someone threatens you and your family's life, there is no other way than too take away that person's ability to harm.

Adding on, if you talk to this friend a lot, it would probably be because your friend thinks you're a good person and if you hurt them, they'll change their views on you and possibly want to stop talking or hanging out with you. However, with a stranger, you haven't built a relationship with them and it wouldn't hurt them as much as betraying your friend. ]]> 2021-01-20 20:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107700166 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107700425 Some advantages are that the person doesn't have to spend time searching for a mate and the arranged marriages usually benefits both family in some way.

To rob somebody else of that regardless of the reason is not justifiable. Additionally, self-defense should not go as far as killing someone, it should go to only preventing the attacker from harming the person. The idea that you are protecting someone should mean that you are preventing the attacker from doing something. Killing will only create a need for revenge and vengeance, which makes matters worse.

You will strongly regret betraying your friend when you remember the experiences that you share with your friends.

You can't say you truly have that for someone you've never even talked to. You have to get to really, genuinely know someone, (like their interests, or what they're really like once they get to know you [people often act different in front of strangers or even acquaintances]) before you ever consider it to be true love. It's the same reason why some people think "crushes" aren't real love. Some of the time, crushes are just a result of someone you find "cute" or something like that, despite the fact that you've never even talked to them. Your perception of them is muddled by how you watch them interact from afar, not a personal connection between you and them.]]> 2021-01-20 20:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107712535 24karthikediya https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107713481 No, I do not believe that everyone has a soulmate. I think that a soulmate is an idea that encourages individuals that everything will turn out all right, and they will get a happy fairytale ending they always wished for. While this is a positive mindset, this will not be guaranteed to everyone. Nobody is perfect, so the idea of a soulmate is false as well, as there can not be a set person assigned to you for life. This is why it is easy to fall out of love, as you actually liked the idea of someone, not the person they actually are. If you have the desire to end up with someone, you have to have an open mind. Just because someone does not fit your idea of a soulmate does not mean that they are automatically not a good match for you. You need someone to support you through the hardships, not be someone straight out of a fairytale.

Love at first sight is just you liking the way someone looks. True love is not only about how a special other looks. Love is after a build up of time with someone else.

The way I'm interpreting this is it is worse to betray a friend than to hurt a stranger in general. I don't think that your relationships should be a factor on morality. You should treat everyone as an equal shouldn't we? The question mentions the word betray for a friends and hurt for a stranger. The word hurt is broad and includes physically and mentally. Basically if we insert a scenario we can see the answer: 
Betray a Friend: You tell someone your friend's secret
Hurt a Stanger: Stab a random person/play with a random person's emotions and weaknesses.

When you lie or hurt or betray a friend, it will break trust that was earned through time.

One of the concepts America is built on is freedom, which includes freedom of who you'd like to marry. People came to America in order to have freedom to do what they want. Modern American society looked down upon arranged marriages because they go against what America is build upon; freedom. Also, I don't believe Americans are very supportive of having decisions forced upon them; they like making their own decisions because they're able to, since Americans have the freedom to do so. ]]> 2021-01-20 20:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107723087 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107723724 If families disapprove the person's choice of mate, I think it is usually because of either they don't approve homosexuality if the two person are the same gender, it might be because the is a huge range in social identity, or maybe even just because they think the person is not smart enough.]]> 2021-01-20 20:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107723724 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107724408 I think that both platonic and romantic soulmates are something that everyone wants, but not everyone is compatible with each other. ]]> 2021-01-20 20:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107724408 24randuthetamish https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107724817 Betraying a friend is one of the dumbest mistake someone can make. A friend is a very important person in your life. A friend is a person who you can trust and is with you at all times.

Of course, there are people who interact very well with each other, or share similar interests, or they have traits the other person likes.

Marriages are an extremely important decision is someone's life and I don't believe it should be arranged. A marriage should come when both partners are comfortable with each other and known each other for a long time. A lot of people in society don't really open up and show their true colors till they are fully comfortable with someone and that can take very long for some people. In arranged marriages people don't know each other as well and I don't think people should get to know someone's true colors after a marriage.

Many people (especially older parents) are against LGBT+ relationships, and therefore, would never allow their own children to have one. Some people even get kicked out of their house or abused when parents find out their orientation isn't straight; what they coin as ""normal"", or even said to be against their religion in some cases. I think another big factor is socio-economic class, because I feel as though a lot of people have heard sentiments from their families along the lines of "don't bring home a loser". They assume based on appearance, jobs, ways of speech, race, and more, that someone isn't the right match for you because they won't be able to support you, and will just "take all your money". Not only are these assumptions unfair and often untrue, but they're also very disrespectful and intrusive. Even if the partner is not very financially stable, it's not the rest of the family's job to use that information to disapprove. It's up to the couple to figure out what this means for them. Perhaps their wage is livable, even if it's seen as somewhat low. It's up to the couple to determine what's right for their finances. And if its a matter of the family thinking the partner is just going to leach off of the other, the other partner should be trusted to manage that. If they want to help the partner with their finances and give them money, let them. If they don't, have faith that they'll have control.]]> 2021-01-20 21:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107744397 24madolorasydney https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107748751 In modern American society, I think there are several factors that would cause families to disapprove of a person's choice of mate. One example could be they are less economically stable than their child/relative. Perhaps, they think they are only marrying for the money. Another reason could be race; families might be uncomfortable because they're racist. Racism has been so deeply ingrained in American society, they may have very prejudiced beliefs. I also think education could play a role because maybe the family thinks their relative's choice of mate is unworthy of their relative. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107748751 kimeneskykim https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107749712 In the event of an attack of any kind where self-defense is implicated, I believe it is justifiable to kill someone as protection. There are several variables that go into this situation, but at the end of the day, if you are trying to survive or defend yourself it is justifiable to kill someone if that person is hostile. When it comes to intentional killing out of anger or revenge, it is never justifiable. A murder or homicide is never justifiable no matter the circumstances. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107749712 24srinivassreenidh https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107749732 There are forces out there that seem so far from human reach. Things like illnesses, natural disasters, or simply just having a bad day. However, as the saying goes, things we do have a way of coming back to us. No matter the intensity of the thing committed, I believe that the connection we hold with nature is so strong that anything we do is intertwined with an equally respective harsh or gentle reaction. As a result we can conclude that a lot of the things that happen in our lives are out of our control, but it is equally as important to understand that everything that happens naturally is because of something we did previously. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107749732 24liaoangela https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107751921 Whether killing is morally justifiable really depends on the person and situation. There is always a reason for the actions that are made, and killing does have some reasonable exceptions. For example, I feel that killing is morally justifiable when accounted towards self-defense and protection. In this circumstance, protecting yourself from a danger you are facing is justifiable from good morals because there is no other choice you can make. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107751921 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107761768 I believe that teens are capable of experiencing true and lasting love, because if both partners are mature enough and know what they want and what they don't want, and have found someone they are sure that they want, it'll be able to keep a stable relationship. Especially since they are both mature enough, they know that communication is key and that they should always speak up about something that they get annoyed about from the other partner and would easily solve a problem instead of being secretly annoyed for a long time which would possibly break the relationship. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107761768 24srinivassreenidh https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107766139 Despite killing being possibly appropriate or needed in a situation, ending another person's life can never be morally justifiable. Our justice system is designed to punish people in accordance to the intensity of their crime and the reason of their crime. This works in society because it gives somewhat of a foundation to society and makes people understand the difference between smaller and bigger crimes. However, no matter the reason of the killing, whether it may have been to defend yourself or save many people, killing can never be morally justified. Taking someone's life can never be moral for a human no matter the reason or punishment that results due to the crime. I strongly believe that these core values and morals are what differentiate an animal from a civilized human.  ]]> 2021-01-20 21:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107766139 24liaoangela https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107772933 Betraying a friend is truly worse than hurting a stranger. A friend is developed through special and important relationships that have been made. Your friends are with you thick and thin, and betraying them is like destroying all the memories and experiences that you have made with them. Also, it is painful to be betrayed by a friend. They entrusted someone and has developed a close relationship equivalent to a family member. You don't know a stranger, they may be just as kind and your friend, but they could also be mean and cruel. Basically, you should always stay loyal to the ones you know and love. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107772933 24liaoangela https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107789893 In modern American society, I feel that we easily make assumptions based on physical appearances. Race, clothing, looks, gender, etc. are an easy target when it comes to disappointments in families. As someone living in America, I can say that we are a very wealthy country. There are many places around that world that lack of the resources and hygiene that is provided in much of America.

Similarly, nobody has full control over another person's mind and their thoughts. Many physical limitations exist in our world for us as humans, and sometimes there are things that we cannot do. However, I do believe that we might be able to exceed these limitations as our technology and knowledge of this world becomes better. ]]> 2021-01-20 21:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107812456 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107820817 2021-01-20 21:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107820817 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107846205 I believe that no matter what age a person is they can feel and expirience love. Love by definition is "an intense feeling of deep affection" whether this is from parents or spouses affection is shown and recieved in many different ways, meaning that the way someone feels love can be different from person to person. As you grow older these feeling become more apparent and easier to understand and label as love, but that doesn't mean that people who are younger don't have this in their life. A teenager may not be able to say "oh this is love" but that doesn't mean that they dont feel a certain way towards someone, especially when people communicate their emotions differently. Not everyone will find the love of their life as a teenager and some may be against the idea, but that doesn't mean that the entire population of teens wont expirience love.]]> 2021-01-20 21:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107846205 https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1107853433 if you like someone from looking at them, you're just attracted to their looks.

Divorce. Many of these couples fell in love with each other and at one point in their lives thought they found their soulmate. To say that people who are forced into arranged marriages will stay with their partner in modern day America is a very silly statement. If couple that fell in love and felt real feeling what does that say about an arranged relationship. Many people have bagan to realize that it's okay to not have a partner and are starting to find happiness being alone so they don't feel as pressured to find someone. Also, with the advancements hat are being made with social issues it could even be seen as an inhumane thing to do, marrying someone in order to gain money, power, or even status.

In my opinion I think that that was made up by someone who wanted comfort in being alone. By saying that to yourself its a way of reassuring yourself that you wont be lonely forever and that you'll eventually find someone, and you may but the idea that there is someone out there specifically made for you is just inaccurate in my opinion. There may be people who just click together but that has more to do with their personalities or how they were raised.

Most of the time, love at first sight is only physical attraction. I don't think that physical attraction is actual love, and it usually won't last long.

If you can go out of your way to hurt and betray someone that trusts you then that is far worse if you were to hurt a stranger.

They will have a longer relationship because they are not heavily reliant on love to keep them together and because their society most likely condemns divorce or public disinterest in their spouse, which can be a good or bad thing. Their families would also be closer together as they were the ones who arranged it so they'd have no reason to dislike each other. Finally, most families choose to wed the couple because they will provide a secure life for one another, therefore having a safe future.

Cons:
Most people in arranged marriages are not as happy as they could have been. They probably have a lot internal conflict with themselves and their spouses and most likely feel dissatisfied with their love life. Some might want to get out and have no way to do so because, one again, their society and families might frown upon it. ]]> 2021-01-20 23:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108019700 24karthikediya https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108020736 The definition of a friend is someone who you trust and have known for a long time. There is some sort of mutual agreement that you stick up for each other during tough times and provide each other with comfort. This occurs with people who are true friends, so betraying one another should not even be thought of. You two have a bond that can’t be broken easily, compared to a stranger you never even had a bond with in the first place. While the stranger did not necessarily deserve to be hurt, betraying a friend would make you feel much more awful. I personally would also feel guilty that I chose someone random over a person important to me. ]]> 2021-01-20 23:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108020736 nikithamateti https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108046497 Though some people might take it more seriously than others, everyone does believe in some form of superstition. I believe this is to reason the things that are out of our control like why it might have rained the day you were going to go mountain climbing for your birthday or why you always run to the bus stop as the bus is leaving. People crave to understand things and if they can not find a viable reason for why something is happening, they will turn to superstition. For example they might say it rained because they're unlucky or because their astrological sign said today would be unpleasant. Though the logic is not scientific in the least, it creates a reason as to why it happened which is more than enough to make us happy.]]> 2021-01-20 23:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108046497 nikithamateti https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108056249 I think love in first sight would be being physically attracted to someone at first glance which isn't the same thing as love. To love someone you would really need to understand them, including their weak points. True love, in my opinion, is to know someone's weak points and accept them for it. Based on sight alone, you will never understand the person you're enamored with which is why love in first sight can't exist. ]]> 2021-01-20 23:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108056249 nikithamateti https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108061221 Though it often does come first as we are not generally attracted to people who look uncleanly, crazy, or dependent, we may still talk to and get attracted to them without initially being interested in appearance. You can also choose to exclude appearance entirely if the person is as well-suited match in which case you would also love them without physical attraction. Though I mentioned it a little above, you could slowly gain attraction to their physical appearance overtime after you've already begun to love them. Some could even be repelled by one's physical form but still find a way to love them. This all proves that physical attraction is not the first step to romance and a relationship can easily rearrange and exclude certain steps. ]]> 2021-01-20 23:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108061221 24baddamamogh https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108074126 Arranged marriages tend to have the advantage that the ideology, culture, and religion are similar or the same. The relationship often works out because their family is involved when trying to find a spouse. On the other hand, it can be a disadvantage altogether because of how people like to have freedom on decisions regarding marriage. If someone with the values of freedom is forced into an arranged marriage, that relationship might not end well. There are always pros and cons to every situation, and regarding arranged marriages it really depends on your perspective.

For instance, if it rains, it would be important to have an umbrella with you, and if you are feeling cold, then you will feel more comfortable if you wear a jacket. However, we are not capable of controlling the weather. Genetics is also something that we have to consider because you also cannot change what genes you inherit.

It’s similar to how children are attracted to shinier objects than they are to dull ones. However, love is accepting a person for who they are, feeling comfortable in confiding in them during stressful times, and being able to relate to one another. The duller person can match this criteria better than a shinier person, and vice-versa. You do not have to be attracted in the beginning to a person, which is normal. There is no way to figure out someone’s personality in the beginning, which is why it takes time to fall in love. Personality and appearance do not both have to match someone’s personal taste, as personality is what matters in the end.

You do not know the nature of the stranger in front of you, and if they are a mean person then it is definitely not worth betraying a friend instead. You can meet a stranger anytime, but friends are developed through time spent and trust. By betraying a friend you lose their trust and you destroy the friendship that existed between you and your friend. It is better to value the importance of the ones around you than to hurt a stranger whom you do not even know. (In fact, you and the stranger could forget about the incident of you hurting them, but it is not as easy to forget a betrayal with a friend).]]> 2021-01-21 00:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108115511 24baddamamogh https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108121515 In a modern American society there are normally three big reasons that a family would disapprove of a persons choice of mate. The first one would be the partner's sexual orientation. Not everyone in society is broad-minded and supportive of people's sexual orientation. They may feel that it goes against the families values, and in doing so it can split people apart. The next reason that people may disapprove of a partner is their race. Although people of different races have had privileges in the United States for decades by now, the mindset of racism still exists in some people's minds. As long as that exists, the race of a partner can make or break a decision regarding a persons partner. Lastly, the socio-economic status plays a role in many peoples mind due to the respect that people give towards money. In general, a family with a considerable amount of wealth or similar wealth has a higher chance of being accepted by a family compared to a family with low income. These three factors play a pivotal role in the approval or disapproval of a persons choice of partner, and they are not necessarily good. ]]> 2021-01-21 00:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108121515 24gogoirohan https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108133285 Racism can cause a family to disapprove of a person’s choice of mate. Unfortunately, racism is still a problem in modern American society. It is important to understand that the color of one’s skin should not affect one’s choice of mate because those of a certain race should not be discriminated against by others. Orientation is also another factor because in today’s society, there are some Americans who may disapprove of one’s orientation. More Americans should not disrespect someone just because they have a different orientation than them.]]> 2021-01-21 00:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108133285 24gogoirohan https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108197832 Killing someone is never morally justifiable because one who killed someone took away their life.

Being forced in a relationship means you haven't truly met each other yet. It can cause discomfort in the bond.

One instance of this is with natural disasters. While one person can influence natural disasters, it is by a very insignificant amount, not enough to actually caused the disaster .

In some cases, it's a sense of obligation in which the person being arranged with someone is resistant, but in some cases it is accepted wholeheartedly. However, Americans are most tricky, as they do accept authority, however, they do not want to be controlled.

A person could be extremely beautiful, but cruel, greedy, and manipulative which would cause more pain and suffering than happiness. The same applies the other way. A person could look more average, but be witty, smart, kind, and loyal, which would result in many happy memories.

There is often a stigma against teenage relationships because they are "immature" or "not serious." It depends on the people who are in or seeking love. Teenagers have the capability of being mature enough to tell who they want to be with. The same as adults, there are teenagers who aren't capable of experiencing true or lasting love, but that doesn't apply to everyone. ]]> 2021-01-21 06:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108668967 24suzukawaisabelle https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1108689346 Friendships are typically created between people who have mutual trust and bond with each other. It would be worse to destroy that trust than ending up hurting a stranger in the process. That doesn't necessarily mean it is acceptable to hurt someone, whether you know them or not, but being stabbed in the back by someone you counted on doesn't just heal right away.

There are twists and turns in life where you question the decisions you make and if certain events could have been prevented. I used to worry about things I couldn't change and people I wasn't able to help until I realized I couldn't do anything. You can't control everything or be controlled by everything.

Such as bad luck on a rainy day where you forget your umbrella, or even though you didn't study for a test you magically passed. Everyone tries to seek reason in the events that occur around them. Rather than saying I'm forgetful I convince myself it was bad luck and weather. Instead of admitting I just understood the content in class I would say I had good luck on the quiz. Sometimes it's nicer to believe something happened for a reason than something we can't comprehend.

It’s more likely you’re experiencing physical attraction. There’s no way to know someone’s personality just at first sight, so you can’t really know a person and love them without meeting them properly. To actually love someone, you have to understand them and build a relationship. Otherwise, your “love” is more like a simple crush.]]> 2021-01-21 18:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1111516858 24sainielina https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112212850 You might feel allured at how they carry themselves, how they look, how they smile. You might feel sparks when you first talk. But you don't know anything about them. They could be toxic or a narcissist. Get to know them more then you might like them.

Every individual's life in this world is equally important and special. I believe that nobody should be able to take someone's life away despite the situation or reason. Some may argue that it is morally right to kill for self defense. However, in the end, a person is still killed, even though someone is protected. We should find other ways to resolve these problems instead of killing people. ]]> 2021-01-22 03:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112761519 24srinivassreenidh https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112848716 No matter friend or stranger, hurting someone can never be correct. Whether you form relationships with someone or whether you meet someone for the first time, in both situations you are dealing with people who have emotions and feelings just like you. When all people are part of a community, it shouldn't be justified to say that one person is above the other just because you have a more significant connection with them personally. It is not fair nor right to make assumptions about a person's characteristics just because you are not familiar with them as an individual. The mentality that allies and friends come before strangers is what leads to so much violence and hatred in our world. It also restricts people from forming a mutual understanding causing misunderstandings and unfortunate situations. ]]> 2021-01-22 04:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112848716 raachitkotha https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112894643 Everyone is superstitious to some degree because everyone has some belief or another. Whether it be ‘Friday the 13th’, black cats, or broken mirrors everyone will have them. Some of the most common superstitions are spread all over the world and believed by billions. Some people can also be less serious about superstitions than others.

If someone were attacking you and you fought back as a means of self-defense, then everything would be justified and morally okay. It would also be okay if the person who was killed was killed for a good cause and if they were a bad person with no chance of reform. There are also very few cases where the death penalty is actually warranted, but for the most part, I don’t think it is a good idea to hand them out as much as we do.

I think that main factors are race and economic class. For example, many minorities in the US are being discriminated against, and parents certainly do not want their children to be with those people. Also, families usually prefer to have their children choose a person with a higher economic status, and be with a wealthier mate. Another factor may be the person's education and abilities. People want to be with others who have better education, higher intelligence, and more abilities or skills. ]]> 2021-01-22 05:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112901772 raachitkotha https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112904788 Sometimes no matter what we do, we can’t change the outcome of something. We can try our best, but that’s it. There are so many things out of our control that it’s hard to keep track of all of them. An example of this would be tryouts for anything. You can practice/study all you want, but you can’t control the skill level of others trying out and you can’t control whether you get in or not. Some things are just not meant to be controlled.

Families could be uncomfortable with someone who doesn’t have a stable life, with a well-paying job. Other families could also be racist and have things against people of other races. Some stereotypes could also make a family disapprove of a person’s mate. ]]> 2021-01-22 06:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112912744 24chenjoyce https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112927307 The key word "Must". There are many people in the world who do not look very appealing (Sorry if this comes off as rude. Everyone is beautiful in their own way!), yet still have someone who loves them. An example would be family. Even if I do not look very appealing, my parents would still love me because I am their child. This statement includes the word must implying that it is a rule.

If it is straight up you see someone and go "I LOVE THEM, I'M MARRYING THEM" then no. If it is simple interest in someone then yes. Overall, in general I would lean more towards no because I do not believe you can truly love someone simply because of their looks. You can be interested in them because their looks caught your eye, but you cannot love someone because they look pretty.]]> 2021-01-22 06:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112933548 24srinivassreenidh https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112966376 Unfortunately, and as much as many people don't want to accept it, discrimination is a very relevant topic in modern American society. Although it may not be as bad as it was decades ago, it's still very much a thing and unfortunately defines the lifestyle of many people. The umbrella reason for all sorts of disapproval of a person's choice of mate is because of discrimination. This may be because a family believes in common stereotypes or religious factors that oppose for an example same-gender marriage or mixed-race marriages. Another major factor could also be that families are scared about how the outside world will look at them if a member has an "unusual" preference of partner. They feel threatened by outside perspectives and their impacts on their social status. ]]> 2021-01-22 06:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1112966376 24almallahbadr https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1114935493 Killing is unacceptable in most situations, if there is no reason for it, or the reason is not huge enough to kill someone. If someone is robbing and he did not pull out a gun or knife, there is no reason to kill him. But if that robber pointed a gun at someone or hurted someone and became hostile, then this would be an acceptable situation to kill him in as he could hurt other people. Killing is justifiable only in self defense, and if that person is hurting other people. ]]> 2021-01-22 17:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1114935493 24almallahbadr https://padlet.com/christinaking1/uvoj6i7ei8c4pkte/wish/1114972488 Advantages - A person doesn't have to look for someone to marry
Disadvantages - Since the two people don't know each other much, there could be a hard start for them, and they might not feel love to each other.

I am able to say this because I've never experienced love at first sight. Love at first sight might actually exist, but I believe that love at first sight is not a deep emotion, but simply an affection regarding physical attraction which may be an important factor in a relationship to someone. However, love is different because in reality, love requires much more than simply their appearance such as understanding and accepting. This is because love is something that develops over time, meaning that they should not only be ready to share and show most part of themselves, but also they should know how to accept and be aware of the irreconcilable problems.
