Week 12

It is morally justified to break the law if the law that’s put in place is going to hurt the people, the community and society. I will endorse civil disobedience when it comes to inequality, when you are fighting for what’s right for example occupy Wall Street and they are following the non-violence policy. They are there to prove a point and to make a change. Yes I agree with St. Augustine that and unjust law is not a law because the law is not benefiting everyone in society, their just favoring one group over the other no matter if its politics, educations, community etc….. The segregation was a legitimate use for civil disobedience and getting pay low wages for hard back breaking jobs is a reason for civil disobedience

Week 11

There is no such word as free, even if you are forced or not. People who are living in poverty are forced to live that way and it’s not by choice, but that’s where they came from, that’s there history. If we were free to make our own choices as far as where we live what jobs we want or what college we want to go to life will be better, but unfortunately it’s not like that. They want us to believe that we are free, but we are not everything we do is for society, everything we do we were brain wash; we are doing it for society, to make them happy so society can be balanced.

Week 9

I don’t think it’s possible to live according to the Buddhism teaching in United States because of all the injustice and inequality that surrounds us. It’s impossible to have a free and clear mind in order to live happy. You cannot live for you, you’re living for society in order to survive and if you try to live for yourself you’re consider to be an outsider.  This world don’t want you to be happy, you live in poverty your unhappy, you’re wealthy you are unhappy. It’s impossible to lead a moral life, to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions and to develop wisdom and understanding and that is what Buddhism religion is.
