I don't think that people learn who they are by being forced into action because there finding who they really are if there being forced to do it. I wouldn't want to be forced to do something. I would want to do it on my own . I would like to find out who I am by doing it my self and not being forced. I would have to be who I am and do what I like , and find who I am by doing things I like to do. Not what other people want me to do. It's different if you get forced by your family or somebody you are close to. Or when they are from a different state and you have to get forced to marry someone. That's different but being forced to find out who you are I don't think that's right. You might not find out who you are you might find out someone your not and …show more content…

They are never given that success with thoughts , only with action. Only actions are make the people learn who they are. You have to be you ! You might also find out who you are if you fall in love. If you fall in love with someone you can be you around them and you don’t have to be forced into action and you don’t have to be somebody your not. If you were forced to fall in love with somebody you couldn’t be you around them. And then you wont find who you really are , you would find who they would want you to be. So no I do not think that you will find who you are if you are forced in to action. I have been forced into action before and it didn’t help me find who I really was. When I was forced into action it was by my dad and my step mom . They wanted me to be somebody I'm not. They want me to be this perfect kid that I couldn’t be. I mean I can get good grades and I love doing sports and stuff but they wanted me to be more than that and that’s not who I am. I have to find my self by doing what I like and doing what is right for

  • Indentured Servitude Essay

    1256 Words  | 3 Pages

    In British colonial America, indentured servitude was borne from the Virginia Company out of a need for cheaper labor, and was gradually replaced by African slaves in the 17th and 18th centuries for the same reason. The growth of slavery in America was not a result of racism or intent, but of economic opportunism. Both were exploited for profit to the maximum of the free planters ability, which in the slave’s case, was much more, because there were little to no laws protecting them, and sometimes even laws targeted against them.

  • Slavery Essay

    856 Words  | 2 Pages

    Slavery has been a problem in many societies throughout all of history. It is not always out of prejudice or racism, often times people of the same ethnicity and nationality enslaved each other because of debt or some other reason. However in the instance of the African slave trade, it was without just cause and an extreme display of racism. Slavery in America was a horrible thing. Blacks were subject to overworking and humiliation by white men. Although this was not the case in every slave to master relationship, owning another person as property when they owe you no debt is still degrading, no matter how you treat the person. African Americans have suffered many hardships through slavery, were set free as a result of the Civil War, fought for their rights in the civil rights movement, and are on both sides of the coin when it comes to racism in America.

  • Personal Essay On Social Work

    Sometime I have a very hard time with juggling things in life. School, work, field practicum, gym time, being a father, being a husband and still trying to be involve within my community takes a toll. What I use to get my through all of these tasks is my motivation that I find inside me. I believe that as human we all want to be great, we just don’t know how to become great. If you ask a child what do they want to be when they grow up, they will probably say something like a singer, a basketball player or a famous doctor. You will never hear a child say, I want to be a cashier at Wal-Mart or a manager at Burger King. So what happened, what changed, why aren’t theses children what they said they wanted to be when they grow up. Well my theory is because they got hit in the face with life and didn’t know how to cope with it. I got accepted into four colleges when I graduate high school, but I didn’t have the money to go to them. Instead of me complaining about how my parents are not rich and could afford to pay for my education, I joined the military and still wen to college debt free and joining the military was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I have the ability to change lives for the better, I think it would be a selfish thing if I didn’t use my gift to change others people lives
