1. The story of Bernie Goetz was that he was a man who was on the subway in NYC and was being essentially robbed, and instead of giving five dollars up shot 4 kids who all ended up having criminal records. Was this right? At first I thought that what he did was not so bad, but the more i think of it, i believe it was plain wrong. What really changed my mind was the video we watched in class, in it Goetz was simply cold, and had no remorse whatsoever and even said he did a favor to society by shooting them.
2. I definitely believe in the power of context. We are all products of our environment, I would like to think that the environment that you are brought up in is the one that affects you the most. Therefore if you were brought up in a good and honest environment that you will be a good and honest person as goes for the complete opposite. I believe there are exceptions as well because people do learn as they get older, but I think if a person grew up in a house full of hostility, then they have a better chance of being hostile if the situation presents itself. I think those certain individuals are more sensitive to their environment. As for my behavior the environment does somewhat effect my behavior, but I feel I have the strength and morals to do what I think is right.
