"Stand up for truth. If you don´t, then there is no truth to your existence. If you don´t stand up all that is right, then understand that you are part of the reason why there is so much wrong in world." -Suzy Kassem
This phrase can show how not standing up for something makes you ignorant, and how standing for something you believe makes you a right, steady, loyal person. Someone that everyone will trust in any situation because they will know that you are not looking for convenience or commodity.

    “Stand Your Ground Law” Many African Americans are killed every day because the Stand Your Ground law allows any person to hurt a citizen they think is “suspicious” to them or their community. The person they see may not be doing any suspicious activity, but in their eyes, they are a criminal out to do more crimes. Trayvon Martin was thought to be a criminal because he had a hood on and was outside late at night. George Zimmerman used racial profiling to say that a young African American boy who was walking home was a criminal, and he killed him despite what the police told him to do.…

    Akkadian Father Analysis

    In the reading, I find it interesting a few of the points the father made, in which we can relate to today as well. In the first paragraph there is relevant information we live by today such as when the Akkadian Father brings up “maintain justice for your enemy, be friendly to your enemy.” Many of us know the saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I suspect he is conveying the same message some believe in today, to teach his son the enemies will be unsure of the intensions being formulated furtively of them. Deceive the opposing side into assuming the son will mean no harm, however, he soon may retaliate when they least expect it.…

People should stand up to change things that are wrong and turn them right, “We are not subjects, you are not the sovereign either, so long as it is your endevour to control us with justice and love, we will let you do so.”…

    Stand Your Ground Summary

    As Kelly Brown Douglas notes in her book Stand Your Ground, one of reasons for perpetuating slavery after the other Western European countries abolished it was due to America’s belief in Manifest Destiny. White Anglo-Saxons assumed they were called by God to rule the “New World”, but also to rule the Africans they had enslaved. In essence, God chose white people over all other races to be the ruling elites who dominate the world. They are the chosen people, in similar ways to Israel, who were God’s chosen people, determined to rule and colonize the “Promised Land”. Not only would Americans colonize, they would also proselytize and set an example of what pious morality ought to look like.…
