The Rez

On the reservation, Junior says that everyone on the rez knows each other and it is a very tight knit community. He contrasts this to the white Rearden community where he says that one can just melt into the chouch and isolate themselves, which is not uncommon. I think my community is more like that of the Rearden community because I don't know many of my neighbors. Especially since in the city there is a large amount of diversity in race, religion, politics, and culture, it is difficult for poeple to come together for one thing. Also, alcoholism is not a problem like it is on the rez and there is not the large amount of poverty and higher amount of opportunities.

My Unbreakable Principle

In my opinion, an unbreakable principle is to never tell someone or purposely push someone to kill themselves. It honestly is just unnecessary. This is something that I cannot think of an exception for. If you are extremely angry at someone,  it would be best to ignore them. Even insulting them to relieve your anger towards them and express yourself is better. When you tell someone that their live has no meaning and value and they are basically a waste of space, time, resources, and money, it affects them severely. To be honest, it's a bit much don't you think? If someone is bothering you and threatening or hurting you, it would be better for them to either get out of your life or serve their punishment for what they are doing. It's not just the loss of life, which is invaluable; the mental and emotional state of the person committing suicide is shattered to pieces. If they are to die, it shouldn't be because they hate themselves, they think everyone else does, and think it is the easy way out. Frankly, for whatever reason, if you are a person that does this to someone you are just as bad or worse of a person.
