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.

Wow. I'm a little flattered that I have that much power over you. That gives me a few ideas... just kidding.
I agree that friends have a lot of influence over my values and my decisions as well. I also expect a few of my moral values to change as I get older, although I am not as clear on many things as you've said you are. I think with a little more help from those around me and a little more experience in this crazy world and I'll show you what's black and white in no time.
You really are adamant about that death penalty thing, and I agree with most of the reasoning behind your decision, but I'm still not yet sure where I stand. But at least I'm not involved in an anti-death penalty organization or I might be in trouble, because I'm kinda leaning toward a yes to the death penalty.
It's good that you know where you stand because I think a lot of people are indecisive at this age. yup.
