The three most important factors in my life that influence my values are...
1.Shaylah.
2.The parents.
3.Media.
The value system of others is acceptable to some degree. For instance if the person believed that killing innocent people was right and just well, it would be completely wrong. So, the answer to "Are all value systems (of all people) equally acceptable?" is NO they are not. There is a
a lot i don't understand but my moral values are completely clear. Throughout the years i expect a few of my moral values to change but i don't think that many will because my moral values are not shady. If they were to change i think that it would be my friends that change my moral values.
THE DEATH PENALTY
I think in my standards that the death penalty is morally correct. In yesterday's paper a student in PMSS, stated Amnesty International was against the death penalty and therefore the student in question should also be. The reason AI is against the death penalty is because it violates a basic human right, The right to live. I believe that the student should be able to have his/her own moral standards. I agree with the "Right to Live" to some degree, but if the person ended up on death row, it was because he killed another person or many other people. I agree with the death penalty as well, to take so many peoples lives such as Robert Picton did, is completely wrong and irritating to have the death penalty would be good for messed up people like him mass murder not just one, because if that person was convicted of it and he didn't do it then he doesn't have to die but for criminals that suck the money right out of us like, Robert Picton, Clifford Olson and Ted Bundy all sit in jail and live pretty healthy lives. They don't have to worry about finances that's what they getting for killing countless people? Death row would solve that its wrong to let them live. A life for a life, these people would have killed so many innocent bystanders that by the time a life for a life was done their kids kids kids kids grand kids would still be on death row. So lets not let them repopulate put them on death row and stop the madness.

Stephen King's, The Long Walk
In Stephen King's novel The Long Walk, the main character Ray Garraty is challenged by Peter McVries on his relationship with his girlfriend.
" 'You're cheating what you felt,' Garraty said.
'Ah, you're the one faking it, Ray, not that it matters. All you remember is the great romance, not all the times you went home and jerked your meat after whispering words of love in her shell-pink ear.'
" 'You fake your way, I'll fake mine.' "
Everyone has problems with love. McVries had big problems with his girlfriend and it is different than the troubles that Garraty has, obviously if Garraty has no problems with his girlfriend when it comes down to it then his love is pure. We all have people that try and convince us that we are not in love and that sucks. These people just don't realize that they are not in your mind and they can't tell you that you are not in love. Ray has been split apart from his girl friend for a period of 24 hours at this point and shes one of the only things keeping him on that road. The road would represent a path in live that we are tackling and walking down the things we choose could lead to death but only one thing can keep us going in the end, Love. In my situation the guy i love i have been away from for 3 weeks and before that 4 years. Love keeps you going. This path that Garraty has chosen to take in his personal life is a path that will keep him going, and hopefully keep me going.
" ' You fake your way, I'll fake mine.' "
This text is McVries trying to convince Garraty that he is in fact faking it. Faking your way sometimes is the only thing you can do, until it becomes true. To cheat on life by faking your way is not right but the only thing. Saying your in love is a whole different thing that actually being in love. I know this because i used to say i was in love with someone in grade 6-8 but i wasn't really, love is way different than lust and Garraty is in Love.
