macbeth anticipation guide



1.) Nuetral. I agree and disagree with this because we don't need someone in order to be great or do great things, If you have a good mindset and goals you would be able to succeed no matter who is by your side. At the same time having someone be by your side and support you will be able to push you farther in life. A personal experience would be when my parents divorced, they were still great and successful people without each other.
2.) Agree. Witches, demons and evil spirits exists because we can see them all around the world. With every good thing that happens there are also bad. Some people may be influenced by these evil spirits which causes them to do horrible things. I personally witnessed this by watching paranormal activity and the exorcist, these two true movies show all of these 3 things.
3.) Disagree. If you want something really bad it shouldn't cause you to do something negative in order to get it. It seems selfish and unfair to do something wrong just to get what YOU want. A personal experience would be after reading the book night, hitler killed innocent people just to get what he wanted in the end.
4.) Agree. If you do something horrible to someone it will turn against you and cause you pain. You can't just screw over someone and expect that you won't get hurt in the end. Karma will eventually come back 10x harder and make you learn your lesson. I experienced this by having someone hurt me and karma came right back to that person by making them go through the same exact pain.
5.) Agree. We all want things/ person even though they aren't good for us.Sometimes we are to caught up about how good they are we don't think about the consequences. Even though we may want it at the moment it won't be good for us in the future. I experienced this by wanting to be with my best friend but realizing that if things don't work out it may ruin our friendship.
6.) Disagree. If you don't like the way the person is ruling their country you should talk to them about what you want to be done in order to make the country better. If they overthrow, others may not like the way they are ruling also. After watching the interview the lady over threw the korean leader but made the kingdom a better place for their country.
7.) Disagree. No matter how worse a situation gets you should never think about ending someones life. murdering someone is never the answer because you would have to live with that guilt forever and will be punished. That person may have kids, wife and a family so they should think about how they would feel. After watching scenes where people murder innocent people on the news it makes me realize how selfish people may be by ending lives.
8.) Agree. You have to go through a lot to be successful, it is not easily handed to you. You may lose friendships to get where you want to be but at the end it will be worth it because you may finally reach your goal. I experienced this with my dad, He had to move place to place and let go of friends in order to get better job offers.
9.)Disagree. When you are known as a leader it could be a bad thing if you are leading them to do the wrong doings. There are many horrible people in this world and it is not gods fault that they do these horrible things. I witnessed this after hearing about what hitler did, god did not want it to go that way and hitler was leading people to do the wrong things.
10.) Disagree. You can have a good or bad day depending how YOU make it. You can wake up and have a positive attitude or wake up with a negative one and automatically have a bad day ahead of you. I witness this every day, We have the power to make ourselves have a great day or a bad day. It depends on our attitudes.
11.) Disagree. If someone messes up once it doesn't mean they should die. Its all about giving people a second chance. Sometimes we need to mess up to realize what kind of person you want to be. I experienced this by forgiving someone who backstabbed me. They learned their lesson and is now a really good friend.



ELIZABETH:

1.) I do not believe that evil is ingrained in human nature. When a new born is welcomed in the world it doesn't automatically become evil or have evil thoughts. People are able to make their own decisions in life, some make goods ones and some make bad which then causes them to become evil. People also go through different obstacles which can also cause them to have an evil mindset on things. Being around evil people may cause you to be evil or you may be influenced by negative things growing up which is caused by the environment and society. A philosophy by Locke was the " tabula rasa " which was a theory that at birth the human mind is a "blank slate". It is the persons decision to fill in that blank slate with good or bad choices.
2.) I feel like our lives are determined by both. We can change our lives in any moment we wanted. We have total control in anything we want to do. I feel like everyone has a fate also, our fate can be connected to our free will when making decisions . Even though we may not know what our fate is i believe that they're is a plan for everyone.
3.) Redemption is possible. Its always good to give someone a second chance when they prove to you how sorry they are and if they are willing to change. We all make mistakes, but its all about learning from those mistakes to become a better person. Even though someone may have done evil things they should use that as motivation to become a better person each and every day. We should never give someone a second chance for the same situation though. If they have not learned their mistake the first time they shouldn't deserve to have continuous chances because that just proves that they don't deserve it and will never change.
4.) It is possible but hard to admire and respect someone that you know has genuine evil. After knowing what someone is capable of its hard to look at them the same way afterwards. How will we know they will change? We don't, because after they choose that path of evil they are capable of making any choices they want. Many people admired and looked at Hitler as a leader even after all the horrible things he did to innocent people.
5.) The ends to not justify the end because if someone uses evil methods to acquire a goal, that goal is forever polluted because that person did not truly achieve their goal and the things they did was not real success but rather planned and fake. A real goal is when you do the right thing and thats when you can truly say you've achieved a goal and deserve to say you've accomplished and earned something.
