Assignment 4- Matthew Street

I usually question my beliefs fairly often, and usually I’m met with a reason as to why I believe what I believe. This has happened almost every time I question what I truly believe except when I start to think about authoritative figures. I genuinely do believe that adults of all kind (especially teachers and parents) should be treated with the upmost respect, but when people who claim to have authority over someone for no reason really question my beliefs on the issue. I don’t believe any one person is truly better than someone else and that everyone is equal, while some people may not apply themselves as much as they could it doesn’t make them lesser of people. It annoys me when people come from and authoritative position act as if they can say and do whatever they want just because they have a title. I don’t believe that gives anyone the right to discriminate against anyone or be particularly rude to someone especially when it comes off a first impression. I actually faced something like this last week with someone who works at Henry Clay and I was actually shocked and it’s been bugging me for a while.
