Ender's Game Anticipation Guide

On The Enders game anticipation guide I had to answer questions from one through five, one being strongly disagree and five being strongly agree these are my answers...

"Lying is justifiable if its for the greater good?"

 I answered a four out of five because sometimes you have to lie, I do not strongly agree though because usually when you lie the person you lied to usually ends up getting hurt or mad. Usually when you lie to someone though it should be to protect that person or to not hurt their feelings.

"Sometimes violence is the only way to solve a problem?" 

I answered one out of five because most every situations you never need to hurt someone you could just talk it out with them, and find a solution to the problem you are having without using violence because usually that just makes everything worse.

"It is okay to kill someone in self-defense?"
I answered two out of five because I think that it isn't okay to kill someone, maybe if they are trying to kill you but usually all you would need to do is hurt them or find another non violent way to get them to stop.

"words are stronger than fists?"
 I answered three out of five because both can hurt very much, fists hurt you physically but  words can effect how people act and what they think about themselves. I think that both can hurt a person very much.

"Bullies hurt others because they have low self esteem?"
I answered three out of five because sometimes bullies hurt others because they have low self esteem about themselves so they can make themselves feel better about them self by making other people feel bad about themselves, but its not always because of that sometimes they do it to look cool in front of friends or they just do it because they find it fun.

"Only the best and brightest students should receive the best education to become the nation's leaders?"
I answered one out of five because I strongly disagree with that I think that all children should receive the best education, and all of them should get equal opportunities while they are in school.

"Revenge is never justified?"
I answered three out of five because I am undecided, I think that maybe if someone is in jail for a horrible crime like murdering someone for no reason they might deserve the death penalty, but it matters how bad what they did was.

"Crying is evidence of weakness?"
I answered two out of five because crying is also showing that they don't care if you see them cry.

"Any action is acceptable in war?"
I answered three out of five because I am not sure, I don't really think that people should be aloud to do anything in war but it is a war I guess it maters about how serious the thing they are fighting for is.


"Teenagers need discipline and rules because they cant control themselves"
I answered three out of five because most teenagers I think do know how to control themselves but still have rules so they don't get into trouble, but some people actually need rules because they misbehave either way.

"Only through personal sacrifice can someone create positive change?"
I answered two out of five because I don't think to make positive change you need to sacrifice, I think that you would also gain something if you made a positive change you would also gain stuff because you may get famous or just being satisfied about yourself.

"Generating compassion for your enemies is the only way to create peace?"
I answered four out of five because I do think it would help to generate compassion towards your enemies because if you do they may end up being your friends but that I don't think is always the case because some people might just keep doing what they were doing to you and it may make thing worse but usually it would make things better.
