Respect for All Persons


Respect for All Persons

As I contemplate on the issue at hand and recognizing that we as human being are born with free will.  With free will comes flaws in many forms of discrimination, social grouping or classification that forms hierarchy not only intellectually but monetarily.  The media has played significant role by devaluing ordinary society and exchanging it with glamour and ritzy world of show biz. 

As I read page 265 “Respect for all Persons” second paragraph textbook it almost brought me to tears because as Americans we are losing our humanity. (Hill 2000:64)   We judge people on what type of car they drive and how well they speak but when it comes to their moral judgments or lack thereof we dismiss and think of excuses to justify their reasoning.  

There are other thing to worry about in this world other than Justin Bieber baby drama.  We still have children going to sleep hungry it night because there is no food in the table.  But that story you don’t hear about in the news.  You don’t hear about the war that still going on in Afghanistan and the brave soldier that are risking their lives for us.   Before I go to sleep tonight I'm going to pray and ask god to help solve the issues we have going on this country in regard to humanity.
