Many people in this world have their own opinion about a variety of different issues, topics, or anything for that matter. But I think that people should be able to be whoever or whatever they want to be. Everyone in this world is different. Some people who are considered the “other” are not given the same treatment or laws as the “norm.” Just because of someone having a different sexual orientation other than heterosexuality, they are not given the option of marriage. I find this very strange and morally wrong to do to two people who are in love/love each other. People who want to have same-sex marriage certainly should be allowed to get married if they want to, just like a man and a woman want to get married.
Everyone in this world is allowed to their own opinion, but I find it completely wrong to sit there and judge someone. We shouldn’t be judging people who are considered the “other.” I have my opinion about same-sex marriage; I’m a Catholic and believe that it’s wrong, but who am I to judge someone else and their decisions? I think people should be given all the same treatment no matter whom or what they are and what they want to do. We all should be created equal, just like God intended.

Maret,
ReplyDeleteYou state, "I'm a Catholic and believe that it's wrong", and I don't mean to beat the religion drum, but I'm a Catholic and believe that it's right. So I'm a little confused how that statement is: a) proof that a belief system is an absolute reason for..well, a belief; b) how this applies to critical thinking in school; c) how this applies to the topic at hand.
I'm just curious, and asking critical questions, merely to clarify what it is you are trying to make a point out of.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteYou do bring up timely course topics in this blog, but this sounds more like just your personal perspective versus a critical analysis. Make sure to tie in media and the readings for a stronger essay.
