FINAL TASK
" our conviction is that human life and the limb are a very special possession given by God to man and that no one has the right to take that away in any cause however just..."
13. this quote relates to me because this is what I believe too.This is what my parents have taught me.Our life is giving by God to us and that belongs to us and no body else. However there are many people that just don't put this in practice. To many minorities this is the hope that they have to keep on trying.This helped migrant workers to see things in a different way and to understand that they had it rights too.
14. The two values that I value the most are nonviolence and respect for life and environment. I value nonviolence the most because that is how many good people had succeed in life. With patience, perseverance and nonviolent one day I'll be a lawyer. The respect for life and the environment is the other one because if I don't care about my life nobody would either. Now people are trying to solve the global warming problem but before no body did. There is a say that says "you never know what you have until you loose it". And that is true.
