Prayer

Prayer is more than just worship of a certain religion it is any hope or dream that someone might have. Prayer is something that I think everyone in the world uses on a daily basis. It is a more broad term than I think people take it as. When I was a little kid my parents taught me to pray every night, but I don't necessarily believe that it is all it means praying for a certain religion or religious idol. I think it is great for people that have a strong religious belief to pray, but for people that are not religious pray means something else like wishing for good or anything else they might be hopeful for.

Orwell Hitler


The reading we had for thursday was an interesting piece because it talked about propaganda and the rights that animals have and how the world would just be a better place if human beings weren't going around making everything complicated. I didn't understand the second part of the reading as much as I did the first. I agree with the first piece about how humans complicate things and treat other species wrong because we do. We also treat other human being with disrespect and its wrong that we do that, but at the same time that is how humans are at the top of the food chain and not somethings pet. We have to stay strong, but at the same time respect what and who is around us. The second reading was over Adolf Hitler and the use of propaganda. Propaganda was used in the war with the GErmans and the second reading just went over and asked who should be a target for propaganda and when it should be used. It didn't catch my attention much and I didn't enjoy reading it.
