Values response
Today we talked about values in class. We discussed everything from honesty, to assertiveness, to loyalty. Everyone need to be loyal to something. If your being loyal to your country, to your family, or to a sports team. Loyalty means a lot to me. There has to be something that you put your loyalties into. I put priorities into my family, because I care about them. I also care about the US. It is good to be loyal, but people have to stop being loyal at certain pint. If people are loyal to their country, but their country starts making crazy laws and taxes they are being thrown under the bus. en if the country realizes the people will just take it they will keep rising the taxes. That is what happened in the late 1700's. Britain kept putting takes on the colonies in America, who were loyal to Britain, and they revolted, because they stopped being loyal. That is why people need some loyalty, but not to much or they will be a pushover and do anything the people say they need them to do.
