My challenge

it has been a rough and tough day in 2008 when i was 13 years old, the worst thing in my life happened to me.i was living in a small village called tokombiya with my family and we had many different kind of domestic animals in our home and I am the oldest one in my family that means I had to take full responsibility for all the domestic animals specially for the cows as they were more than the others and they need one person to look after them and protect them from any harm thing and all that responsibility was on me and I used to look after them almost seven years I was close one with them know everything about them more than others do.

as we all know every living organism want food to survive and it’s hard to feed all the pet in home so I was forced to take the cows and sleep outside in the forest.countably they were around twenty cows which I used to sleep with them in the forest.it has been a fantastic life to look after them a happy life I used to think only about them, worrying about nothing, have always fun with friends who has pets like me.

we used to play different kind of our traditional games, sing songs toghether,climb trees in the forest and we used to compete to climb the tallest trees and the one who climbed ahead of the others we used to call him as a climber and give him some prize.It was perfect life with full of joyful and happiness but this hadn’t has good ending and bad things happened. It was midnight around 1 A.M i was in the forest with my pets and the forest was surrounded with wild animals like hyena, fox and other many kind of wild animals anyway it had been dangerous place for the pets and even for myself.

and that night I was alone in the forest with my pets and I was tired and suddenly felt asleep in the unprotected forest. With being tired I hadn’t recognized about anything at that night heavy kind of

    I don’t remember much about how my family died, I was just a three year old boy; Keenan Waren. All I can remember is it was Thanksgiving day with my whole family. I know it was this day because the smell of the turkey was burnt into my memory, and it’s also what the people at the orphanage told me as I was growing up. Something else I can recall is seeing a tall, bulky shadow holding a green flame in his hand after the lights shut off. Everyone was screaming, but I am still unsure of what was happening to them. My mom carried me out into the rainy night in front of the house in my carseat, and I was crying for the teddy bear my aunt gave me for my first birthday. I kept crying, so my mom covered me with blanket and ran back inside to grab it…

    I am an animal lover and I get great satisfaction from caring for and helping animals. I’ve gone through emotional stresses caring for and loosing animals. My baby calf I recently lost, had eaten some poisonous weeds and was down. He could not stand and was affecting his nervous system somewhat. I would not leave him for more than 2 hours at a time, so I could be there to give him water, medicine, his bottle, grain or grass hay. Sometimes, I was checking on him every hour. Poor baby hung in there for 3 weeks, but we lost the fight. Sometimes this is just part of life, but I know I done my very best to help him while working with my vet.…

    Martin Luther King

    According to the Dictionary Online (2013), “Injustice is the violation of the rights of others; unjust or unfair action or treatment.” Martin Luther King Jr. defined an unjust law in the Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963), “An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.” Judeo-Christian ethics were applied to allow for civil disobedience during the protest. King believed that there are the laws that are legal, and the laws that are just. Justice is above legality, and it holds a moral context to it. In his words: “A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law.” I also feel it is important when thinking about what is just, and unjust to realize the importance between the what is legal and illegal, and see how these go hand in hand. Also, it is important to be able to notice the difference between the two of them. This way, we can figure out whether or not civil disobedience is ever acceptable. King had also mentioned a few examples of the differences between legality and justice in his Letter From Birmingham Jail. In that letter he reminds us of everything the Nazis and Adolf Hitler did during the Holocaust, and how it was apparently “legal”. In Germany, they changed the laws to cover up what they had done. It became this poor excuse for them brutally killing thousands of people. These people died based on their religious views, handicaps, and life-style choices. Although what they did was legal, what they did was not just. The laws they made were unjust, and because justice is a higher power than legality. Those laws and those…

    It was a typical day in Ghana when my mother asked me to go and milk the cow at our farm that was just before the woods. I had always been an exploratory person and this time I wanted to go and discover the woods. I had always been told to stay away from the woods by family and friends for a very long time, and could not wait any longer. I walked into the woods as quietly as I could trying very hard to avoid to stepping on the crispy leaves, as I make a prickly noise. Suddenly,…
