cow standing in the rain.” by Colin Wilson has a very strong meaning to it. Wilson is challenging the average man by stating that what he does is insufficient and that the average man should do more. He says that the average man just accepts it when bad things happen to him and he doesn’t do anything about it. Personally, I think that he is challenging people like the ones in his quote to step up and do more than what they are currently doing. I believe Colin Wilson is saying that the average…

If I could fight against something, it would have to be police brutality. I say police brutality because this is something that has been going on for so much time. It is not right that police officers are murdering innocent people, and giving the excuse that they felt threatened. Police are only murdering people of color when they have done nothing wrong.

Despite what they say, society needs to take the rape epidemic seriously because many boys and girls don’t know that much about rape and some don’t even know how bad it is and stricter punishments on rapists may be a good thing. Society needs to take the rape epidemic…

Many people say that officers should wear cameras on their uniforms to prevent any other riots, such as the Michael Brown riots in Ferguson, St. Louis. Whenever there is a shooting and there are no bystanders to see what actually happened, there should be some sort of recording device with the officer to see what he is doing. When Police Officers sign up to join the force, they should be prepared for anything while they are in uniform. To keep people from causing a riot, because they say that…

tiny lie, it may not be the right thing but sometimes they just have to. It can be dangerous sometimes because it may cause people getting hurt or even dying. If anything, lying should be put to a stop. Lying should be put to a stop because, It is bad! It starts drama and ruins friendships and family relationships. In paragraph 7 it says “We depend on each other to be honest and deceiving…
