How would you react if you discovered that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies? What would you do?
How would you react if you discovered that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies? What would you do?
If I discovered that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies I would probably feel shocked, angry, be sad, I will be disappointed and mostly I would feel betrayed. I would try to act normally (although it'll be hard) and I'll talk with the Giver about it, he'll probably calm me down and will make me feel better. I think I won't do anything, I'll want to change the community but it's impossible.
ReplyDeleteIf I would discover that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies- I would be very angry at this wo/man, shocked, sad and disapointed. I would try to talk to that wo/man, to anderstand the reasons s/he did it. Even if the wo/man's reasons will convince me, I will try to keep away from that wo/man.
ReplyDeleteIf I discovered that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies I would feel surprised, mad and sad.I'll be a little afraid too. I would ask that persone about his job and if s\he going to lie, I would probebly tell someone, let people know.
ReplyDeleteIf I'll find out that one of my family member's job is to kill babies and people I'd be furious, mad and very confused that one colse person to me is the exact opposite from what I thought he Is and that he's doing such horrible thing. I would proboblly tell about him to another clost femily bember and try to decide together what to do. I will talk to that person although I'll be angry and try to understand why is he or she doying this thing
ReplyDeleteIf I would discover one of my family members kills babies as a part of his job. I would of tried to talk with him about his feelings and if he is traumatized from it. It would of bin harder in the real world because people have feelings and so it can affect them. In the community people don't have feelings.
ReplyDeleteIf I discovered that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies i would try to stop it because everyone has the right to live. Additionally I'll feel sad. If I was not able to save the babies and the people I'll feel responsible for the deaths.
ReplyDeleteIf I discovered that i would be extremly angry and sad
ReplyDeleteand i try to stop it.
Honestly do not know what I would do
If I had discovered my parents job was to kill babies, I would probably scream at them for never telling me. This might be a bit selfish and uncaring, but they probably would have that job because somebody has to do it. And if thats what they were assigned to do, I have nothing to do about it. But the fact that they lied to me about their career, would make me furious.
ReplyDeleteThis is only the answer if we were in the Community. If my parents would choose this career in a free world, I might have left my house. What kind of person chooses to kill people for money. That's called assassination, I think. And I dont want to be the son of an assassin.
If I discovered my parent's job was to kill babies, I would think this is a joke. I would think the video I saw is Photoshopped and no way my parents would kill babies. If somehow I got evidence that they really do kill babies, I would obviously be shocked and furious and feel hurt and betrayed that they lied to me my whole life. I wouldn't be brave enough to do something about it, but I wouldn't be able to look at them the same way again. Maybe after I grow up and they stop working I'd ask them about it, and I would be able to get them to tell the truth because they would listen to me as an adult. I would try to find out the reason for them to kill babies, because maybe if they have a good reason I will forgive them.
ReplyDeleteIf I discovered my parent's job was to kill babies, I will be shocked and angry; I think that after this horrible discovery I will be confused for weeks. I would think why should they do this? Why isn't there someone who can stop them? Until I take a side in this business of "killing babies" and try to speak with the group of elders.( It's clear that I am the receiver because he is the only one who can see the release ceremony accept the people who are present there.) I will understand that my parents don't know how bad their work is and even if they had known and tried to object they would not succeed because they don't rule the community.

If I was known that a member of my family is killing people for his job I would be hardly offended becuase people who kill other people are not nice and the member of the family who does that will have to show me that he is a good person and that he doesn't enjoy killing people to earn my trust back.
ReplyDeleteIf I discovered that somebody in my family kills people I would first of all be mad and sad, but after a while I'll think about the reason and how close to me is the person. If it's somebody like my dad I would run away from home, but if it will be my brother I think I will live with it and try to stop him from doing it. But if my dad did it because we didn't have money and that was the only way to get it, I will say him that it's OK and he should stop it, but nothing else.
ReplyDeleteIf I would discovered that someone from my family kills people i would be shocked. I would feel mad and very disappointed from that person and i would be ashamed to be related to him / her. I would run away to someone that I trust and stay there. If the person who kills asks for mercy I would say that if he / she can redeem themselves I would forgive them.

ReplyDeleteIf I would discovered that somebody from my family lied to me about his job, and that he is killing people, I would feel cheated. I would be very sad that he/she is even agreed to do something so awful like killing people. First thing that I would do, is to understand what was the reason that he/sho was lying to me. Then, I would try to do enything that I can do to stop that terrible fraud. I think that I have enough resposibility and Maturity to stop that person from doing things like that. I would even try to save the people if that imposibble.
If I was to know that the work of one or more of family members or people which are close to me is considering killing innocent people, I think I would feel so very shocked and betrayed, since I probably had given my trust in them for being kind and honest beings. There would be only a few odds that I would ever want to see them again or keep in contact with them, and I would try to stick to people whom I really love and trust in, which I know won't cause harm to anyone and it would be my source of consult.
ReplyDeleteIf i discovered that a family member’s job mandated that he kill people and babies I would probably talk to him and try to convince him not to. If that is not possible I would run away like Jonas.
ReplyDeleteIf i found out that one of my family members was to kill babies I would fell disappointing and embarrassed. I would also be very angry at that cretin family member not telling me about it and not explaining why he does what he does.
ReplyDeleteIf I would discover that a family member’s job mandated that s/he kill people and babies i would talk to him and ask him his own reasons. I will try to convince him to stop and to searh an other job.
ReplyDeleteIf I would discover that one of my family members kills people for his living, I would feel betrayed because this is a very bad thing, and that family member lied to me all along. I would probably shout at this family member, and protest.
ReplyDeleteIf I would discover that someone in my family works as a baby killer I would be really shocked from the fact I'm in the same family as an assassin. I would probably never talk to that person again in my life.
ReplyDeleteI would probably call the police, and make sure they arrest him. Bent because he's family, I would go see him at least twice a week.
ReplyDeleteIf I would discover that someone from my family kills people and baby I would probably be very angry and mad at him, I would stay away from him and mad, I would be so scared that he would try to kill me too that I even think that I would just freak out and run away from the house.
ReplyDeleteIf I discovered that my family members job mandated him/her to kill people and babies I would ask of him to change his job and maybe work somewhere where he/she dosen't have to kill people.
