The bridge (Vivian)

There are a controversial issue between this story. Some people think the soldier is guilty while the other people disagree with it. In my view, the soldier should kill the woman and there are some reasons for it. First of all, this is the work for soldier and that woman influence his work. He is working and he was told the woman she should not across the river otherwise he will shoot her. In addition to this, the woman can use other ways to across the river because there are other inhabitants have to cross the river, they may have other ways can help her. Secondly, the woman is not loyal to her husband, and she already breaking her vows. She is guilty, so we should not condemn the soldier to shot her because this is a duty for soldier. Therefore, as the above mentioned reasons the soldier is not guilty.

The captain’s decision which is the weakest would have to be sacrificed is unjustified for two reasons. The first reason is that all people are equal and life is precious. The captain sacrificed weakest with his own authority and deprived of their right to survive, especially most of weakest were children and mother.

Brazil a father and a son

Today, we had read a story about one of Brazil lottery winner nearly murdered by his father. The father was planning to kill his son because of $16 million jackpots. This story made me think about which are essential to our life? Money or blood relationships? Which one needs to be blamed?  In my opinion, the father needs to be criticized than his son because of his illegal decision and immoral actions. Firstly, from a legal point of view, whether the son kills or not, his father’s behavior which he hired two killers to kill his son have committed a crime.
