    Sometime, I believe the existence of life is just a tragedy. It is not what happening to my life or to those around me that effecting me deeply – it is the external forces that I have no control over or the inability for me to make a different to the situation. Every day, I see bad things happen in the world, especially the thing that happen to the innocent children and the unborn babies. Granted, not all babies are cute or healthy when they were born, but nonetheless, they are innocents. Why do they have suffered at the hand of the adults: the one that created them, the one that meant to take care of them, the one that support to sacrifice for them?…

    Going to a new school is hard for any child; unfamiliar places can be intimidating, new people can be unapproachable and the more advanced classes may even seem impossible. It is a very big social change that forces children to get out of their comfort zone and let new people into their personal bubble, because after all no one wants to be completely alone in this scary, dark world: everybody wants to belong. Fitting in can be more difficult if the child does not speak the same language as the people around them. Making friends and communicating becomes almost impossible until the child learns the language that they have been submerged into.…

    Immigration into the U.S. has been a topic that has been argued over since 1790, nearly the beginning of our country. Americans that have opposed immigration have accused immigrants of many issues over the years. Some don’t feel safe with immigrants entering our country, fearing that we will be attacked. Then there are people who flat-out think that they corrupt the United States. However, I think that immigration should not be restricted because it is wrong to deny someone their right to freedom, regardless of stereotypes.…

    My first thought was to reject the idea that morality surrounding marriage and intimacy was dependent of the political climates in Cuba at the time. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that people's values can change based on the government that they under, rather than just sharing different views than their government like what sometimes happens in a democracy.

Then I thought to stop the comparisons to democracy altogether because not every culture can be understood…
