Helping Someone

In class, we talked about the possibility of having the choose between helping two people. They had the same infections and same everything only difference was that they were from different countries. I first thought to help the person who wasn't American but then that would of seemed unpatriotic. Then, I decided that I would help the American but then that seemed like favoritism. So decided to not help either one of them because I couldn't win no matter who I choose. I feel as though whenever your in that situation I think the best way out is to leave them alone because it will go bad either way but then you'll be considered unpatriotic for not helping the American. This is a very difficult choice to make. What would your choices be?

Meat in my household

While reading this essay I had a few personal connections to some of the examples that Kheel used. I know back home at my house sometimes for dinner we would have rice and stew pretty frequently. While preparing my own plate I sometimes opted out of eating eat with my rice, then my grandmother would say "Why are you not taking meat?" I respond, "I don't want it." I know that my mom sometimes questions my liking of meat. It's a little annoying she does it all the time.

24

So recently I got obsessed with the show 24, I know it's a little dated but I got interested in it. One of the topics we talked about in class was how men and women have certain traits like how women are weak vs men who are strong. While watching 24 there was a scene where one of the main protagonists was having an argument with his wife because she was doing things behind his back. So he got upset and raised his voice, compared to his wife who kept trying to reason with him that she was doing what she did for him because she knew what was best. Now, after finishing that episode I thought of the saying: 'A mother knows best' Now my question is do you think the wife felt as though she knew what was best because she's been by his side all this time or is it a characteristic that women share. They observe and gives the best answer, so they 'know' the solutions to most problems.
