Post Friday the 19

When reading A Clockwork Orange there were many mixed emotions developed. Most of reading left me wanting to stop because i was so disgusted with the violence but at the same time I needed to know the outcome. I really like the in class activity that made us express our opinions towards violence, and the media today. I think that it was interesting to hear everyone's point of views on the various subjects and to try to look at things from a different point of view. The ones that were most interesting were the topics that rose the most controversy. My favorite was the one asked about child violence and punishment. I think that a crime is a crime and that at a young age children learn right from wrong, and that they know there are often consequences for their actions. A good example is when a child throws a toy at another kid, they know they will get put in time out or some sort of consequence. If a child knows right from wrong then they know not to commit crimes and should be punished the same as an adult that knows right from wrong.
