Blog Stage eight: Comment on a colleague's work #2

     According to "What to say when your neighbor comes over uninvited?", Lollie Martin wrote about how Trump is threaten Mexicans by building walls and fences along the Mexico-United States border. She insist that there are other ways to handle the problem of illegal immigrants such as obtaining citizenship easier and increasing security along the borders. Trump stated that boarders are threaten United States territory, safe and population by allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to come to the United States. I understand why he strongly oppose since these immigrants are coming illegally, however, he is not only threatening these people. He is warning other immigrants as well.
     To be honest with you, I don't believe Trump. Okay, let me say in this way. I don't like Trump. This is pretty straightforward to say it but it is true. As an international student, there are many difficulties which I face by studying abroad from living far away with my family and friends. I basically left everything in my country just for my future. And now, Trump is trying to stop me and other international students. I still can't forget when Trump declared before he gets elected. He said that he will make all the immigrants out of the United States. His phrase made me worried and hopeless. It was not only me who felt like this. Most of the immigrants were mad at him. Because he is basically taking our opportunity and future. I tried to understand him as a person, but I couldn't. Well, probably because I'm Korean that we have more issues going on than this. That is why I have more antipathy toward him than other immigrants. However, if he forces the immigrants to get out of the United States, there will be  huge political issues are going to happen. Since Trump is the president of one of the dominant countries in the world that he should think and behave carefully, before he says because he represents his country and whole world is watching him.

Blog Stage Seven: Original editorial or commentary #2

     One of the most well-known topics which many people are still debating in today is about abortion. This is a sensitive topic for women because it is such a complex issue. Each individuals have their own beliefs and perspectives of view point in their lives. Therefore, in this case, it classifies into two groups: pro-choice and pro-life.
     Pro-choice supporters believe that everything depends on women's decision. Not all women want their child. It has higher chance that the most of the women who accidentally have a baby were rape by the stranger, mistake, and so on. Unfortunately, having a baby is not a blessing to them, but blocking their future. Moreover, some insist that every women should be able to decided for herself if, when and with whom to start or grow a family. Abortion is more than having unwanted baby. It is for the rights of the women equality and autonomy that it should be essential for the rights of women. Thus, abortion should not be limited by governmental or religious authority, and which outweighs any right claimed for an embryo or fetus.
     On the other hand, pro-life supporters claimed that abortion should be legal. Abortion is not a simple problem that the women can decide themselves whether to kill or not. It is the immoral killing of an innocent human being. Additionally, this is unfair to allow abortion when someone cannot biologically conceive are waiting to adopt. Furthermore, all the religions have taken strong positions on abortion. They assert that it encompasses of life, death, right and wrong, and human relationships and the nature of society, which make it a major religious concern.
     All things considered, I support both sides because it it really depends on the situation. If the women was raped by the men, that was not her choice to be pregnant. Her life is priority to her and no one can judge her no matter what. On the contrary to this, I would also support them as well. Each individuals have their own perspectives and ways of life that it should be respected although you might not agree with them.
