Thinking Trans Lyn After reading and watching the Trans lives, experiences and their concerns leaves me very surprised. The story of Lyslie Barrett makes one wonder how the Transgender people survive in this world full of selfishness. Lyslie’s family, unlike many families with transgender people, supports him fully until he completes his transition. He acknowledges that his mother has done a lot through supporting him (mark 2:15). Therefore, I am surprised that this group only needs everyone’s support for them to go through their transition successfully. They require the family’s understanding and full support because it is not their wish to be Transgender. In my opinion, these readings challenge my previous understanding of the Trans people as before I came to an agreement correctly who they were; I used to discriminate them. My knowledge of the Trans people was influenced by the stereotypes the media was propagating. However, I have come to understand that they are ordinary people. Especially the Trans women, they are discriminated to the extent of the media hyper sexualizing. I am happy that they have stood…
Trying Juveniles as Adults I think trying a juvenile accused of murder as an adult does not make sense. Besides, death is a serious crime that has to be punished, and there is also the consideration that the defendant is a child. A 14-year old is not allowed to vote or give consent to sexual activities; he or she still needs guidance in making decisions. Sentences given to juveniles should be meant to develop them and change their behaviours for the better and not ruining the rest of their lives. Trying a youth as an adult means he gets the sentence of an adult and has to be incarcerated together with adults. The adults in prisons could hurt these children, and if they survive, it won’t be effortless to rehabilitate them. Charging a 14-year-old with murder as an adult could give him or her a life sentence in prison or even death sentence. This sentence snatches the life of these teenagers even before they begin making sure that they never attend college or Prom, they do not get to experience…
Girls and Sex In a PEGGY ORENSTEIN, Girls and Sex, it is obvious how girls are affected all-round the continent. For instance, just at the beginning where students are seated down in an auditorium, alternating, daydreaming and chatting with each other as the administrators drone on about the importance of attendance. The dean of students addresses girls on how to dress while in school. I conquer with the dean since the mode of dressing describes a person. Although the dean was right, Camila being one of the students was not satisfied. She thought that her dressing mode has no problem with other people, she even went on saying that if a male teacher might be interrupted with her boobs, then the board must find ways of admitting teachers who cannot be suspended. She was seconded by other girls, yes, but the concept behind this is, they felt they are grownups and there dressing their choice, no one should bother about it. Even if it’s their choice as they think, but I guess they never get the point correctly, they never…
Getting Started: The Journey of Faith Key ideas One of the characters presented in the “Courageous Faith” text is Abraham, who is strong in faith. Through faith, he has been able to hold on to God’s promises despite the challenges he goes through. From him, there are three ideas that I have gained from him that are of impact in my life. One of the ideas is to fully follow God even though the path he is taking you through is not clear. In the case of Abraham, there were so many unclear things that God made him go through. Despite him going through them, he was persistent with God and obeyed his commands fully. For example, when he was told by God to go and sacrifice his son, he did not hastate to go and sacrifice his son. In the book of Hebrews 11: 11, it shows that Abraham had faith in God, and he was ready to submit to his will. Also, the pain he went through was imaginable since he was required to sacrifice his one and…

Managing Time and Resources Since I am beginning my graduate program, time will not be a luxury on my part. I have to create a timetable and strictly follow it. Usually, much time has been wasted on partying and watching movies. That is going to change. I will have to sacrifice for the greater good. I will also have to let go of some friends who take much of my time after work. My family will have less of me since I will spend most of my free time studying. My weekly schedule will change significantly. To do my assignments and meet the due dates, I will have to wake up very early in the morning and have at least an hour of studying before I prepare to leave for my job. After work, I will have to go directly to my home, do the necessary home chores, and start attending to my studies. All weekends will be nothing but reading and doing the assignments. I will have to request my family members to lessen the responsibilities I attend to…
Why I find Watching Football Least Appealing? Some would say entertainment is fun, while others would argue it leisure, but this idea of fun and leisure camouflage into joyous moments to various people. We add salt to distasteful and discomfort live through entertainment. Modern sources of entertainment are listening to music, watching favorite shows, reading books, going for a picnic, chatting with family, singing, and dancing. The type of entertainment which I find least entertaining is watching football. This essay illustrates why watching football is less compelling. I find watching football less appealing because the team is not a representation of me. Additionally, I do not know the players; they are from different parts of the world. Even if the team wins, I will not benefit from their achievement, then why bother cheering someone who will not put food on my table. You end up being called a spectator and wasting your time. Literary, why would a person watch a bunch of people being paid to exercise? The only people that enjoy watching soccer are those that live vicariously and…
