My opinion:
The people of Miraji believe that lying is a sin.

I agree that lying, for the most part, is bad. However, I think it is necessary in order to spare someone’s feelings. The people of Miraji believe that killing your own flesh and blood is a sin.

I believe killing your family is bad, no matter what the circumstances.

The Miraji culture believe that women are inferior to men.

I disagree with this belief completely. Women are just as intelligent and strong as men. Women have equal abilities and should be treated as such.

The Miraji culture believe in beatings as a form of punishment.

I don’t think beatings should be a form of punishment. You could cause permanent harm. It is a degrading form of punishment that belittles the victim. It shows a lack of respect for the victim.
I don’t agree with prostitution because it encourages human trafficking. It is also very degrading for women, especially those who do it because the don’t have any other option for finances. I also don’t think we should look down on prostitutes because most prostitutes are forced to do prostitution by traffickers or because of monetary reasons. We should help prostitutes find better jobs and create a better lifestyle. We shouldn’t look down on them, instead we should look down on the traffickers who sell them and force them into
