This is a discussion that was brought up in one of my new classes this semester^.^ The question basically was
" Have there ever been any events, considering historic or ones you've witnessed first hand, that have changed the way you act, or the way you perceive life?"
I believe this is an important question to ask. Usually, its a person whom inspires someone to act a certain way, role models for example. I remember while being a child, i'd pretend to be an adult like my mother, put on her high shoes and long dresses. But have you ever seen or witnessed an event that changed your outlook on life completely?
An example for me would be:
When i was a little child, i didnt quite know what racism was, or animal cruelty or even violence and abuse. I was
pretty much unaware of how seveer it truly was. As i got older, i witnessed some pretty insane things. For example, i
remember witnessing someone killing a kitten with a baseball bat >.< It was pretty terrible, and i recall racist
remarks and abuse arising from such things, also the kind of abuse i witnessed first hand in my school while growing up
as well.
Witnessing these events over and over again began to make me aware of how sevear things were regarding violence and disrespect. It did change me quite a lot. It made me into a kinder, caring, generous person, but also a confident person who wouldnt allow other people to get hurt by abusers.
It might not exactlly be a perfect example, but i sure do hope you understand what i mean.
The event could be historic or any other type of action that you've witnessed that may have changed you^.^
I appreciate any help with this, since i kind of do need a paper written about this tomorrow morning, and a little bit of information from people could really be inspiring^.^
