Revision Paper

The revision of my mediation paper was a long and interesting one. The topic that I chose to wirte my mediation paper on was Premarital Sex. This is a very interesting topic because of the fact that it is a current issue that seems to be very contorversal. When I was revising my paper, one thing that Ineeded to do was make it longer by adding another problem to discuss. I decided to discuss the physical and emotional affetcts that premarital sex can have on the individuals in a relationship and the relationship itself. Through my research, I came across several posts on the internet by individuals who have regreted having premarital sex because of how it has affected them in the long run. I think that that is one thing that many people dont take into consideration before deciding to have premarital sex, the consequences. In my paper I was able find positives on both sides of the situation, and finding common ground was fairly simple. I think that the introdution to my paper is a good example on stating this and after revising it several times, I ended with this as my final introduction.
One of the many questions that couples stumble across is whether or not it is ok to have sex before marriage. As relationships progress the desires to have sex linger in one’s mind. It is not a correct answer to say that yes, it is ok to have premarital sex. On the other hand, you cannot say that the correct answer is no. Overall it depends on the individuals involved and how they feel about the situation. Many weigh the positives and negatives of fulfilling these desires, while others don’t even take the negatives into consideration. Is it moral to have premarital sex? If we choose to wait for marriage, how far can we go? What are the negative effects that it can have on the individuals in the relationship and the relationship itself? Many factors play a role in making a decision on whether or not to wait and have sex until after marriage.

Obama Speech

In Obamas speech, I thought that he made several good points. He said that we all have the same challenges in life, so together, as one we should work together to these solve them.He feels that we cant solve these problems without working together.I also enjoyed how he gave us insight into his own life and told us about his family.I thought that he handled the situation with the pastor very well. It is very true that we all here things that we disagree with.So just because his pastor may have said some things that looked bad, it doesnt mean that he necessarily agrees with them and I thought that was a great point to make.I liked how he went ot talk about positive things about the pastor. it is very true that we always look for the bad and never see the good. So I thought that was a good point to make.
