Self Defense Final Paper
Question One: I have never been attacked in my life. If I will face to that situation, it might happen when I walk on the street. I just watch a video about a game which name is Knockout in St. Louis, actually, I don’t think it`s a “game”, it`s not funny at all, I think it`s a kind of violence behavior. A group of the boys walked on the street, they just want do some funny things, so they decided play a knockout game. The “game” is simple: one or more assailants attempt to knock out an unsuspecting victim, often with a single sucker punch. Serious injuries and deaths have been attributed to knockout.
I think the future attacks I will face will not be like terrorist attacks or home intruders but from life, and they are unpreventable as I mentioned before. Therefore, what I learnt from the self defense class is not only how to fight with those who want to hurt your when you are ready, but also to always keep alert in daily life as attack is everywhere. Just as what our coach "Carl" has done to us, he would quietly follow us and he beat us on the shoulder, then we would be startled. The seemingly “prank” makes me keep alert even in a very safe place, otherwise the Knockout attacks may happen to me and I could not avoid them.
Question Two: First of all, I am a Chinese. Injure someone or kill someone is unforgivable In the culture of China. In U.S. law, only those with serious crime (such as killing many people) will be sentenced to death. However, in China, if you deliberately kill one person, you will be sentenced to death, and even hurting others will result in severe penalty. Such law revision is closely connected with the Chinese culture "respect", so I will not take the initiative to hurt or kill someone.
But there is a situation I might try to do so, and it is that someone attack me first and endanger my life. After all, self-defense class taught us how to protect
