Throughout history we have heard of people standing up and fighting for what they believe is morally right. We have read about many of them in our textbooks and seen them on t.v. One specific person would be Cesar Chavez a human rights activist. Who fought to have the minimum wage raised for farmers working in the fields picking fruit.

Everybody in their life has the opportunity to take a stand. Taking a stand can be

Yes, we have all stood up for something that wasn’t popular with others. For example, in elementary school I would try to tell my classmates which bin to throw what garbage in but no one wanted to take the time to throw things on the right bin. I find it is difficult to stand up for things that others don’t believe because if you are not someone looked up to

Imagine your friend is being bullied at school in front of you, but you do not speak up. We usually notice a lot of circumstances where students have the fear of standing up in front of a huge crowd or defending themselves. One should feel comfortable defending and/or advocating for their own ideas in the classroom. To express your opinion and yourself is critical to learning in the classroom. In Carlo Rotella’s article, “Silent Students Shortchange Themselves, and Others,” Rotella encourages students to speak up because they have useful thoughts that benefit the class. This is crucial, especially with bullying, in which those who are bullied need encouragement. Students should be assertive to speak up and stand up for themselves against bullying

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law continues to receive a significant amount of coverage and commentary in the news media. Concerns were raised as a result. Expressed concerns ranged from public safety to racial bias and vigilantism. Given the universal reaction to the Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis verdict, it's of no surprise. The House attempted to addressed the issue at hand with a proposed bill, (HB169) last November, but it was soon shut down after a deadlock vote. What interested me is that after months of stalling, Sen. Rob Bradley and R-Fleming Island finally took up the bill (SB 344) to make much needed revisions to this controversial law. According to the news article I reviewed, on Thursday, January 28, this proposed bill passed with 24-12 votes. I, personally, felt a wave of relief. The passage of this bill has open doors to expansion and significant changes to the already existing law. By amending the Stand Your Ground law, current loopholes, like the aforementioned cases, can be deterred.

The Golden Age of Greece known as Classical Greece was the peak of Greek civilization. History recalls that this period consisted of inventions, innovations, and many great minds all alive during the same time. These great men influenced western civilization and without them there would be no western civilization to exist. One of these great minds was Plato, a man who was responsible for laying down the foundations for philosophy. The philosophical question he sought answers for are still being debated today.

This can be shown in the first person narrative I’ll Go Fetch Her Tomorrow by Bloeme Emden. This idea is supported when the text says “ My father was so desperate that he went to visit the office that was responsible for the deportations. He said to the first German he saw. My daughter can’t go. The man looked at him in surprise, but he took the call-up papers and put a stamp on them saying that I was exempted from deportations until further notice.” This shows an act of standing up for your family, because when they got the papers for the concentration camp the father was just thinking about this daughter he was desperate to get her off the deportation list. This is important, because he didn’t know if anything will happen if he walks in there. He was thinking about his daughter more than him. Another story that shows a person standing up and being brave is in the play Anne Frank act 1 scene 2. This idea is shown when the text says “This isn’t the black market, Mrs. Frank. This is what we call the white market….helping all of the hundreds and hundreds who are hiding out in Amsterdam said Mr. Kraler. It’s the Westertoren! Said Anne. I must go. I must be out of here and downstairs in the office, before the workmen get here. Miep or I, or both of us, will be up each day to bring you food and news and find out what your needs are. Tomorrow I’ll get you a better bolt for the door at the foot of the stairs. It needs a bolt that you can throw yourself and open only at our signal. Oh…. you’ll tell them about the noise Mr.Kraler said. I’ll tell them Mrs. Frank said. Goodbye then for the moment. I’ll come up again, after the workmen leave Mr. Kraler said. Goodbye Mr Kraler.” This proves that Mr. Kraler and Miep is risking their lives to help the Franks and the Van-Daan’s from the Nazis and are saving them from being captured and sent to a concentration camp. This is

Why is it important to stand up for what you believe in? It’s important to stand up for what you believe in because we all have an opinion in what we believe and what we don’t believe in like i believe in a god that once we die we will go with him for our eternal life but someone else might believe in reincarnation which means once we die we will comeback as someone else. But if people who believe in god meets someone who believes in reincarnation might fight about who is right and they might talk someone down in what they believe in. Even though we don’t know what or who is right there is always gonna be someone who is gonna fight over what they believe in even though we don’t know who is right about what they believe in.

By connection, it means that I have my own personal experience, world issue I heard from the news, and information I read from books and watched from movies. Based on my own personal experience, when my friend was bullied it only made the situation worse whenever she didn’t stand up for herself because it made the bullies think that the bullied person is not strong enough to fight back. Also, in personal education textbooks that the school gave me in first grade, it showed that you should stand up for yourself when you are bullied because it might lead to a lack of self-confidence. Lastly, I read a newspaper article that people tend to lose self-confidence if they do not stand up for themselves at the very beginning point because in the worst case, people might even commit suicide. For that reason, I strongly believe that standing up can stop

I have always preferred placid atmosphere to confrontation.I try to stay as low key as I can and endure as much emotional impulse as I can.But as I grew up,I realized that from time to time I have to step up and fight for what I cherish the most: freedom.I do everything according to my own mind.I would never betray what I believe in and compromise in order to cater to other people.If someone tries to limit myself from doing what my heart desires,I would definitely fight for my freedom.Just as what Daniel Johnston said: “Do yourself a favor:Become your own savior.” Even though I could make the wrong decision when following my heart,I wouldn’t regret a bit because I kept my freedom.Nothing worth more than freedom
