A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARD

           
There is a famous quote that I’ve always heard which is, “Family is the most important thing in the world.” I’m conjecturing that E.M Foster, a writer, agrees with this quote. Foster states that, in his point of view, personal relations are more important than causes or patriotism.  This got me thinking and wondering if I agree with him. Therefore I put myself in the situation, which was if I would pick my family and friends over my nation. And, I agree with E.M Foster that personal relations are more important than patriotism.

            I think friends and family is more important because they have been with you almost your whole life. You know their life stories and they know yours. For example, they know your interests, goals, dislikes, personality and everything about you. Also, your personal relationships involves love and care. I don’t think my whole nation cares about me or even knows I exist because they don’t know me and I don’t know them, they are strangers. Another reason why I would choose them over my whole nation is because if you concentrate on just your nation and try to make it better then you’ll end up alone and miserable because all you will end up with is a big union that barely even know you. 

            Some may argue that causes and patriotism is more important than personal interest because your whole nation is more people and your friendship is less. They may also include that you are being selfish because all you care is your people and not the others. In my point of view the whole nation doesn’t compare the way you friends/family protect and help you out. You communicate with them, unlike communicating with the whole nation, for me, it would be impossible having a conversation. Also, yeah there’s lots of people in our nation than our family, but our family is technically our own world.

            In conclusion, I’m with E.M Foster, that personal relations are more important than patriotism. Even though, some people may disagree because it would make a better place, I think most people care about their family out all the things they have. Family is pretty much all you have and an important thing.

Response ''The Conscience Hacker''

This article reminds me of how some people assume things. For example, some kids are using technology to do good things while some people assume its all bad. Another thing is that its giving us two different perspectives his and a second perspective that think technology is bad. Like he said its his world and he's not judging people how they look, like they are. He sort of uses irony when he mentions that how the other perspective thinks he's a criminal when they are all being racist, start wars, are murders, and are liars. And I  think this makes the article interesting, by using two different perspectives.
