Picking between Right and Right
Chapter four has provided a lot of information regarding policing tactics. As a person who is considering politics at some point in my life, I found this information very useful. I was glad to learn that it is more effective to have more men power than high level of equipments when it comes to fighting crimes. After all no equipment can replace the resources that human intelligence bring. I will take that with me when I reach my dream destination.
Further this chapter has had a great impact on how I feel abortions. The book has brought about the two sides of the abortion issue in a very real and frank way. After reading this book, I realize that there are no right and wrong side when it comes to abortion. Both sides have strong grounds to base their belief on because there is a cost and benefit to the pro and the con side of the issue. On one hand, it is heart breaking to kill a baby before he/she’s born if you believe live begin at conceptions. On the other it is a big nuisance to society when those unwanted babies grow up to become criminals. They often commit gruesome crimes such as killing and torturing elders.
Furthermore, I became more hopeful of the African-American community after reading the section where the author talked about the crack-market bust. As a Haitian-American, I found that to be very good news for blacks. After all, crack has been one of the major factors contributing to the detriment of blacks for some times. It is very good that blacks are looking at other avenues to prosper. They still have major obstacles ahead, but pride and anger is not going to solve anything. Education, better economic conditions and a more peaceful environment to raise children will.

Abortion will always be a touchy subject, and there should always be an option in my opinion. Everyone wants to raise a kid the best that they possibly can, but lets say a underage girl who doesn't know better gets pregnant and has a poor family. What could that underage girl do to support the baby if her parents are barely getting by as is? Or, lets say worst case scenario a girl is raped and becomes pregnant, wouldn't it be the best thing for the girl to not raise a child under such an awful situation? There is always going to be two solid sides to this, but I believe that neither side should have a complete hold on the dilemma.
Like Amir said abortion is a very touchy subject, and everyone has their opinions about it. I simply believe that if you have an abortion that the child now has no chance at life and what if they were suppose to contribute something great to the world. Just because they are born in bad situations doesn't meant that they are going to grow up to become criminals. It is good that the crack bubble busted. It is about time.
