Ender's Game Anticipation Guide;

 Lying is justifiable if it's for the greater good:
        I strongly agree with that.  I think that if it is for the greater good the lying is beyond exceptionable.  Sometimes there will be times when the truth isn't what someone wants to here and a lie, if not something extreme, is the only solution.

Sometimes violence is the only way to solve a problem:
       I strongly agree with this because sometimes words aren't going to help you in a situation when someone doesn't really care what you have to say to them, and if you don't fight back, then the odds are your going to get beat up.


It is okay to kill someone in self-defense:
       If you just happen to kill someone well defending yourself then so be it.  They knew what they were getting into threatening you or trying to kill you. Sometimes killing someone when there coming at you will be the only way for you to protect yourself.


Words are stronger than fist:
     I don't really agree with this because if someone is about to shoot you then you saying "Wait! No!" isn't going to stop them like it does in movies, if someone really wants to kill you and they have they opportunity to then there not going to hold back just cause you don't want them to, or have a silly excuse for them not to.


Bullies hurt others because they have low self esteem:
    I think that this is often the case why bullies are how they are.  Mostly I think it's because they have family problems or insecurities and bringing other people as low as them makes them feel better.


Only the best and brightest students should receive the best education to become a nation's leader:
   I don't think that this is far at all, there for I strongly disagree.  You can not judge a person by there interpretation of  the work your giving them.  Several of the smartest people today weren't bright from the beginning.  Just because someone doesn't do the best in elementary school doesn't mean that they should be handed a lower education for high school and college.


Revenge is never justified:
     I entirely agree with this because revenge is never okay or necessary.  There is never a good enough reason to get back at someone after something already happened.  If you try to get revenge on someone who has changed and is no longer the person they were before then it will bring no good, because someone may regret something they did a long time ago.  When someone does something to you the best revenge is to forget about to show that your a bigger person.


 Crying is evidence of weakness:
     Crying is always evidence of weakness, but it doesn't mean that it's not okay to do so.  Crying shows weakness because it's pain leaving your body.  Crying solves nothing and if you cry when your in a fight it's only going to make you look more vulnerable.  Once you cry your just giving into your enemy, making them feel better, like they've succeeded.  There for this statement is 100% accurate.  


 Any action is acceptable in war:
     When you go to war I believe that any action is acceptable.  There are no rules and people will go to extremes to in order to stay alive.


 Teenagers need discipline and rules because they can't control themselves;
      Teenagers definitely do need to discipline to teach them what's okay and keep them in line.  Imagine if we had no boundaries or rules,  it would be complete chaos.  Teenagers can't control themselves because there just learning what it's like in the real world and so they need discipline and rules to teach them what's okay and what's not.

 Only though personal sacrifice can someone create positive change:
     This is definitely true because in order to get positive change there's always something that needs to be sacrificed.  If you notice is movies there's always some kind of obstacle that they need to pass and something that they need to leave behind in order to get positive change, most of all the thing that they leave behind is something that's been holding them back.


 Generating compassion for your enemies is the only way to create peace:
        I disagree with this probably because that's never been how I've solved my issues with people.  Most of the time I'll just ignore someone who I'm having problems with or just be normal acquaintances with them but I'm afraid that if I'm nice to them then they'll think it's a joke and get even more angry.
