Justice

            Yo its your boi Reid back at you with another blog! Today we are covering "justice". I believe that good citizens aid justice and help make it possible. People are not born into being good, it is a path they chose. Another factor I believe aids justice is courage. Sometimes to be able to stand up for what is fair and right you must be brave. Something that I think impedes justice is greed and selfishness. People think about what is best for them before they think about the people that are being affected. For example, back in the day, slaveholders fought to keep their slaves enslaved. They didn't care how much they suffered they just wanted it for themselves. Also I believe prejudice people harm justice. They judge and make their decision before they know anything. An example is the people of Maycomb county who believe that a black man who was accused of rape actually did it before they knew any of the facts. This is what harms justice.


Warm Regards,

Trip to LA

        Dearest Blog Enthusiasts,

Today we are covering what it means to be a witness and how I was transformed by our trip to LA.
In my opinion there are two types of witnesses, bystanders and allies. Bystanders are the ones who watch it happen and don't take action, and in the Holocaust case, let people die. Allies are the brave few who step and sacrifice their safe lives to save others. I am now a witness of the Holocaust and I have the choice if I want to take action and prevent the world from another Human Rights or other disaster in the future. The trip taught me what happens when the world doesn't try hard enough to become an ally and what can happen. I also enjoyed the lunch at the park and the bus rides. They were lots of fun.
