REASONS FOR GOING TO CHURCH

Church is a place of worship. It is where a community gathers together to praise the works and doings of Jesus Christ our lord. People generally attend church to honour God for his teachings and knowledge. Going to church is a ritual many people take part in as they believe frequent praying will send them to heaven when their time on Earth comes to an end. Although there are many different faiths that use a church as their place to pray, they all have one thing in common: their faith in God. It is believed that if you pray to the 'Almighty Father' enough, you will go to heaven, and that is one of the essential reasons why people go to church. People also go to church to pray for good health and fortune, and generally for those who are unfortunate and need help in their lives. Church can also be a place where a couple choose to get married. People may choose a church as a place to get married because it is a tradition that is held in many cultures, predominately in white-cultures. It is also has an elegant environment.

THE MEANING OF 'FREEDOM'

Freedom, according to the dictionary, means the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. Though the dictionary meaning is partly true, freedom also means to have the liberty to speak and think what one wants to. It also means to have independence and to have the power to do whatever one wants to. Although the concept of freedom is a good idea, some may find it a problem. With freedom comes free will. This leads ones to believe that one has the freedom to do anything they please but in reality, and in this time and age, society does allow everyone to do anything they want without consequences. Freedom will also direct minds to fight for their own rights which they may not have in their time. This could lead to protests and parades which can easily disturb the peace in surrounding areas. To other people, freedom could mean that they can be who they want to be and express themselves however they want to. They may not necessarily want to flaunt display to everyone who they are; moreover just being able to feel comfortable in the environment they are in. Ultimately, the notion of freedom is a great idea, but only in moderation.

MY FAVORITE SUBJECT

My favourite subject is English. English is a complex language with an extensive vocabulary. It is a language which I believe to be a gateway language, where if one learns the language a world of opportunities becomes within their reach. English is a very challenging language to learn: it has many technicalities such as sentence structure and correct use of words. One extremely intricate aspect of English is the correct use of words in the correct context. Some incorrect uses can be as simple as mistaking a word for a homonym or homophone, or maybe even as complex as using words with unfamiliar social innuendoes or idiosyncrasies. Even though there are many complexities, it the primary reason why I would like to learn the language - so I can successfully communicate with as many people I can. A challenge, a system of communication, and a subject you can learn for the rest of your life. English is definitely my favourite subject.

REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARGUE

People argue because they disagree. People argue because they stand for what they believe in. People argue because they want the attention it gets them. Ultimately, people argue for themselves. Sometimes it is hard not to argue: the feeling where you feel so strongly about a situation and you just want the person to understand you. In an argument there can only be on winner or two losers. Why is there only one winner though? It is the way society works: they never let anyone win. If you win you're strong, but if you lose you're weak - That is how society sees it, but it is one's choice to either conform or rebel. So some people won't actually argue because they stand for what they believe in, but they may argue because they don't want anyone else to win. Arguing is a form of conflict of two minds clashing, like water and oil: both fluids, but can't exactly combine.

THE THINGS THAT BUG ME

There are many things that bug me. They can vary from the tiniest impurities to the biggest of actions. Some things that bug me are the way people speak to me. If they speak to me in a rude and snide manner I will probably become irritated. Things such as continuous interrupting, mocking and hypocrisy are a few things that could make me angry. Although there are only a few ways of annoying me, there are many ways of how I would react to
