Prompt 1

Everyone knows that death is a part of life. Everybody also knows that this death can be brought on earlier by certain things such as storms, disease, and murder. Every single person on this earth can kill anyone they want because everyone knows how. Some people on this planet kill for sport and some kill in defense. Is there an in between? We may never know because we would first have to come to accept that sometimes killing in defense and for sport can sometimes be the same thing. It all depends on the savagery of the person. Some people would rather not give the luxury of death. These are the insane people that are on this earth.

Prompt 2                

If the separation between being civilized and savaged was no longer there, which would take over? This all depends on the person and their moral standings. It depends on which part of them is stronger. Most people would say that savagery would be the one to take over, but I don’t believe that to be true in all cases. Sometimes it may look like savagery when a person kills another person but it could also be fear.  Savagery just seems like it is the stronger of the two but really it is the weaker just disguising itself as the stronger through intimidation.

Prompt 3                

Civilization is created through the coming together of people. With civilization comes society. Now, are people controlling society or being controlled? I believe that people are controlled by society. This is why whenever there is someone who breaks off and rebels for his or her own cause, people immediately go against that person.  They are always thrown into the belief that they have rights and that the people are in charge when in fact they are doing exactly what society expects them to do. Say you have an apple and that the apple represents society and the seeds in the core are people. Now you cut the apple in half and expect the seeds to stay but every once in a while a seed will fall out and what do you do with it? You throw it away.
