do realistic things under unrealistic circumstances. Men and women put their lives on the line just so you can be safe. Those men and women do it every day of our lives‚ whether it is firefighters‚ police officers‚ or even soldiers overseas. No one can pay them back for what they do‚ and yet‚ they still go out and give up their lives so that someone else can have their own.

The values and morals of religion‚ marriage‚ and family life in my generation have dramatically changed compared to previous generations. Most Americans do not attend church services. Divorces are more common now. Family life is completely different; women are working while men are staying home with kids. We grow and learn throughout our generations. Between generations before and the current generation there are numerous differences. Religion was something that was taken extremely serious in

I believe in choices By Haidn Fleming A homeless man may appear less than you or I‚ who are at the peak of society with high hopes for a grand life and wealth‚ but this man once had these hopes or dreams for his unforeseeable future. But to you and me all we see is a bum‚ an addict‚ and a waste of space. Even if that is not what you think‚ that is how this man is represented in the eyes of society.

This I Believe I believe that to be an American means to believe in yourself and stand up for what you believe in. So I have a story to tell about a boy in my third grade class and what he believed in. In my third grade class at Fort Crawford we had a variety of students but one student was very different than the rest of us. His name was Gino and he was a Jehovah witness. Gino was everyone’s friend and we did not treat him any differently than everyone else but my classmates and I didn’t understand

Moral Courage Given our already stated definition of "moral courage" as (the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition‚ shame‚ scandal‚ or discouragement) several instances can be found throughout history of the use (or lack of) moral courage to influence the decisions impacting the significant events of the world. Our first demonstration of the lack of moral courage can be found during the Holocaust‚ in which Jewish men masqueraded in Hitler’s army and willingly took part in the
