Quick write #5

I think anger does scary things to people. Nothing the girl could have said could have made those girls beat her up to that extent. Violence is disgusting and there is way too much of it in this world. People need to learn to get over things and understand that not everything needs a reaction. This girl was obviously disturbed to the point that she had to post those things on social media. They never should have gone to those extents and violence is disgusting. I hate violence and everything that is happening right now in the world the last thing we need is violence involved with social media.

Anger: Quickwrite #4

I know my anger pretty well. I know what makes me mad and I also know when to hold myself back. Being angry is scary and for me it takes mostly ignorance. It takes someone being completely clueless to the situation to make me angry. I don't get very outwardly angry at friends or people I get more annoyed than anything. The fact of the matter is that I don't like getting in fights or being confrontational. I like to reasonably talk to people about their anger or my anger before it blows up in to anything more than just that, a feeling. Anger is just a feeling and I don't like that sometimes it can get in the way of friendships. The simple fact is that letting  an emotion get in the way of a relationship is crazy and I would hope that that would never happen between my friends and I.

I think that gluttony is never a good thing. As you can see from the video it is never good. It is crazy to me that people eat that much and continue to encourage eating this way. Laine brought up the point that someone who is starving should be able to commit gluttony. Which is true yet its difficult to decide ethically when any sin is okay.
On the website of the restaurant is says "help ugh fight anorexia" which is pretty deep. It is not something that is funny and this man is being pinned with the sin of greed and gluttony.
Although gluttony usually is never a good thing, greed sometimes can as it can get you your way. For example, the girl learned that by being greedy she always got her candy and she learned to use the restroom.

Semester 2: Quickwrite #1

I think that in our modern world, the 7 deadly sins still do apply yet I believe that some take on a different meaning now. For example, envy can be good in this world. Being envious of someone can be bad if it is manifested violently or in a bad way, yet being jealous of someone can also be a motivator. In our world a lot of people need motivation to become better and by being jealous of someone elses success, it may motivate one to work harder towards a goal. This is why this "deadly sin" may be necessary in some cases.
All of the sins can take on new meanings in certain cases and can be useful in one scenario yet bad in another. I don't think that it is fair to label something a "deadly sin" when in some situations they can be seen as something that is not necessarily bad. F
