I have made a response to my respected colleague
Tiffany Acker’s article/blog stage 7 (No More Kings).
I do agree with my colleague
that gun violence has been a big
problem in U.S. 2nd amendment states that, “Being necessary to the security of the
free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed.” Putting restrictions will violet this amendment, and to stop
violation we would need a new amendment. Along with that, we should not put
restrictions because slowly these restrictions will become so many that only
certain people will remain to bear arms, which will lead the government to be
more powerful over its people. As a result we will fallback in history when kings have
all power. The U.S has a great history of events, and we can use that content in today’s
generation to solve a problem instead of repeating history. Likewise, police
officers have been in an act of shooting innocent people because of false alarm.
Should we also take their weapons away? I don’t agree with this because a
threat can occur anytime, and we will be helpless. We can make changes in
the training process and improve the situation. Improvement is always better
than starting from scratch. People become mentally ill when society doesn’t
accept them. In the recent decade, many shootings were done by mentally ill
students and they become more ill when we treat them different from rest. The environment has a great impact on our daily life it shapes us and gives us 6th sense of social life. One of a
great physiologist Chris Germer gave the theory that, “the more you think
about not stressing, you will end up stressing yourself even more.” In his book
Mindfulness and Self-Compassion. The more we treat them different the more different they will become.
I
do share the common thought with her about schools needs to educate about
social and emotional experiences. I can say that these classes might not do a
lot, but it can do the small change. In the east, we have a compulsory class
throw out our school life about respect and behavior. Some of my values I carry
today are from that class. They teach us never disrespect anyone older than you because they have wisdom of age,
and love those who are younger then you, knowledge might get you to places but
you will find wisdom in respect. Never hurt women or a child even in conditions
of war.
