What I would fight for...
In class on Wednesday Dave posted a question to us on what we would be willing to really stand up for in our lives. I have been thinking about this question quite a bit and I have to say I really don't know what I would be willing to stand up to an angry mod for. One thing that has come to mind are children's rights. I worked on an Indian reservation in Minnesota with a lot of children who had very little in their lives. To me things like healthcare, education, food and a safe home are all things children should not have to worry about. In addition to this experience my brother works for a children's cancer group in our community called Children's Cancer Community. I'm not quite sure if I would be willing to stand up to an angry mob for these things (maybe for a specific child). I do think, however, that these things are extremely important and overlooked issues in our world today. What do you think you would be willing to stand up for?

Honestly, I really don't know what I would be able to stand up to an angry mob for. I mean, I'm not too opinionated so I guess it would have to be something more along the lines of like family and friends. I think those are the only things that actually mean something to me because they are solid and concrete, everything else has potential to change, and I could really care less.
I think I could stand up to an angry mob over my religion. My religion is something that I hold in very high regard. I would be willing to defend it because I know how much it means to me. As well, I have to wonder, if I wouldn't what would be the punishment with God?
