Today’s class discussion was
interesting. Although the talk did not encompass too much new material, I
gathered two main new pieces of information. The first is that everyone thinks
that they know what is best for others. The second is that even with rules put
in place, individuals will not follow them. The most obvious example I can
think of with this is speeding. What is the purpose of writing down a speed
limit if it is consistently broken? The saying “rules are meant to be broken”
is sketchy when you think about it in this context (and any, for that matter).
Like we discussed, there are multiple options you are given when you are pulled
over. Why is that the case, if we are not to break the law? Why do we allow
individuals to profit from others breaking the rules? It is a strange matter.
Regarding our debate of whether the contemporary man is more or less violent
that the cave man, I stand by my opinion from the classroom. I believe that
technology has amplified the ability to commit acts of violence which stem from
religious disputes.
