Enders Game Anticipation Guide

LYING IS JUSTIFIABLE IF IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD.
I gave this statement a four because I believe its true in most circumstances. If I had to lie to someone in order to protect them or in order for them not to hurt themselves I would. Lying is never a good thing, but telling a white lie now and then is never a bad thing.

SOMETIMES VIOLENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.
I gave this a two because I don't usually solve a problem with violence. I end up telling my opponent my side of the story and I listen to theirs. Using words is a way healthier solution to a problem than to use violence and end up getting hurt.

IT IS OK TO KILL SOMEONE IN SELF DEFENSE.
I gave this a four because given the circumstance, if someone is trying to badly injure you, the only way to stop that is to flee or call for help. What happens if you cant do that? If someone wants to hurt you very badly i don't think using your words will help. I think he only way to defend yourself in that situation to to fight back if possible and kill if necessary.

WORDS ARE STRONGER THAT FISTS.
If this question was literal, then obviously fists are stronger than words. But, its not, and I think its trying to say that the power of words can change something more than the power of violence. I gave this a four because I believe that two sides can prosper if they solve their situation with words instead of destroying one or the other.

BULLIES HURT OTHERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOW SELF ESTEEM.
I gave this a three because I am not so sure because I am not a bully.  I think though that it really depends. I definitely agree that some bullies do what they they do because they have a rough home life and that some just do it for their own pleasure

ONLY THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST STUDENT SHOULD RECEIVE THE BEST EDUCATION TO BECAME THE NATIONS LEADER.
I disagree and gave this a one because some of our early presidents like an Andrew Jackson were not the brightest people and did not receive the best education and still became some of the best leaders our county has ever seen.

REVENGE IS NEVER JUSTIFIED.
I gave this a two only because I am the type of person who does believe in revenge. If it was something harmless that someone did to you than I do not see the point of revenge, but if  it is something that hurt you or your loved ones in a ways than I think revenge is justifiable.

CRYING IS EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS.
I gave this a two because if someone cries it not necessarily because of something that is painful or hurtful.  Sometimes people can cry tears of happiness, or joy, without being weak at all.


ANY ACTION IS ACCEPTABLE IN WAR
I gave this a four because in my point of view, anything is acceptable in war to win the battle. The only thing I think that would not be acceptably would be to hurt civilians in order the win. Always bring war as as far as possible from civilians.

TEENAGERS NEED DISCIPLINE AND RULES BECAUSE THEY CANT CONTROL THEMSELVES.
I gave this a three because most of the times this is true. Teenagers like myself usually think they can do whatever they want which is not true at all. But there is always that teen who is very mature and can control himself completely and take care of himself without any adult input.

ONLY THROUGH PERSONAL SACRIFICE CAN SOMEONE CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE.
I gave this a two because this is not true all the time. A lot of the times there is something that one has to take away from himself in order to improve on his life but other times there is somebody else who can give you something which will result in your positive change.

GENERATING COMPASSION FOR YOUR ENEMIES IS THE ONLY WAY TO CREATE PEACE.
I agree and gave this a five because by letting someone know your sympathy for them is a great way to let someone know that you're they're friend.
