Rejection! (Haha)

There are times all through life when people are rejected. According to https://www.thefreedictionary.com/reject"[To reject is] to refuse to accept, submit to, believe, or
make use of." Someone might have his/her credit card rejected, be rejected by certain colleges or jobs, or simply be told "no." These are all forms of rejection.,

A very common type of rejection is being rejected on the internet. By this, I mean being rejected on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, or even Blogger. This is not any fault of the website's but a choice made by a user. People can have their requests rejected on Facebook or not be followed back on other websites.

Being rejected on these websites could have no effect on a person, but it could take an emotional toll on him/her. There are many cases when a person is constantly rejected on the internet and become depressed. Although, rejected a person on these sites is not a form of bullying, the person may look at it this way and become upset. Despite the fact that rejection happens all throughout life, it can still take an emotional toll on someone.

Responsibility? #What'sThat?

What is responsibility? According to www.dictionary.com, "a particular burden of obligation upon one who responsible." Responsibility can mean a number of things. To a student it can mean doing homework, going to class, or studying for a test. For a parent, this can mean something entirely different, such as saving money and doing what is best for the child. How do a person know when they are responsible?

 A friend of mine and I are in a dispute about responsibility. Because of bad choices he made, he is required to take an after school class about responsibility and turning his life around. He was taking the class and made it seem as if he were learning a great amount. One day I asked how the class was going and he simply replied "I am not going anymore." When I asked him why, he put the responsibility on his parents and not having transportation.

I feel as if this is his responsibility because he chose to make bad choices and now he must commit to correcting this. I feel that if he were really committed then he would have organized transportation with a family member or friend. I may be wrong, I am assuming it depends on how each person view responsibility.

Justifying Recklessness

Although we have different tactics now, throughout the ages people were stuck on a ship if they decided to explore the world. Over the years, people have been risking their lives to fullfill their curiosity, but I believe the real question is: why? Why would someone risk their lives and be forced to spend a great amount of time away from family and friends just to discover something new? Although many would disagree, I do not believe these people have a choice, I believe they are driven by passion. Just as a junkie is driven by their need for a certain drug, I believe true explorers are driven by their passion for adventure.
