Public discourse

In everyday life, many are faced with decisions on whether or not to stand up and state their opinion or just to sit back and let others take the lead. I have also been faced with many of these decisions. A major one that I have been a part of is a teachers rally in order to get the teachers a raise and to get them a contract. I have also been involved in conversations about political issues and have brought my point to the table. I am very opionated, therefor normally I have brought my opionions into many topics. I had the opportunity to sign a petition to let smokers go out during basketball games in high school but I did not sign it because I did not believe in it. I was very against it.
