Сосуществуйте (Russian)

So I lied,there is another post for school. I have found two arguments to this topic that could be important. One is specific to males.

The War Against Boys:  

How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men

Wow, that is a very powerful statement. This book, which i thought would help with a research paper, actually came in more handy for this. You see, the author, Christina Hoff Sommers, believes that teaching boys to be more delicate and to work their problems out without fighting is wrong. She believes we should let boys be boys and fight. And while this may be true to an extent, violence only begets more violence. Those two boys fighting on the playground today might be robbing a QuickStop tomorrow. I know that sounds a little drastic, but from my own experience, I know. My best friend and I used to wrestle and beat each other up when we had problems. I turned out pretty good, I HOPE.... He on the other hand is serving life in prison. He kept getting more and more violent and actually stabbed someone his senior year in high school. Boys should learn to coexist with each other, or maybe one day they will cause ANOTHER unnecessary war.

It's all about money!

Why should we not coexist? Well, it's the answer to everything, MONEY! Thats right. Look at most of the wars America has been in. The last several were all about money. So, we choose to fight because of money. But that goes against all they teach you in public school. Money does not equal happiness. But that is why we are in war. Yet it won't make us happy in the end.

  1. Your anecdote about your old best friend worked amazingly to push your point. Doesn't that kind of scare you that he stabbed a kid your senior year? That could have been you!
