I personally agree with Clinton’s approach to welfare. He says in his approach that welfare is to help struggling families in need of help until they can get back on their feet. But with the help of welfare, the people only have 5 years to try and get back on their feet and to be able to support themselves and their families on their own. That means that in that time they need to find good paying jobs so that they can support their needs to the persons family. I like that there is a time limit on his approach to welfare because then people can’t abuse it as easy or for as long. If they find out that you are abusing welfare by not changing, by getting a job or try to support themselves, they can get kicked off for not trying to do better. I think that it is wrong for people to use welfare when they don’t need it because it takes away from those who really need the help. I think that welfare is a good thing as long as it is not being abused by people that don’t need it. Because when used the way it should be it can help out a lot of families in need.

               2. If we can’t separate our civilized self from our savage self I which will take over and why? I believe that it could go either way. I believe that people would do what they wanted, and do what they need to in order to stay alive or make better for themselves. For some people it brings out savagery in them. People can become savages when they become scared or loose there mind and don’t want to work civilized. I believe that how you were raised has a huge part in this factor because that could determine how much anger or frustration you have bottled up inside just waiting to be let out. It also depends on how good you are in survival situations and knowing what to do and how to react the right way. But the people that can’t survive in these types of situations can freak out and lose their common sense and will not be civilized any more.

     3. How is civilization created? Are people controlled by society or is society controlled by people?  Civilization is created when people come together to despite their differences and bring together their ideals. They find the most efficient way possible in which to live and grow. After they share their ideals they put them to work not only to make the best civilization they can, but to make it run smoothly at the same time. I believe that at the beginning of a civilization, the people controlled society. But as time goes on I find it harder and harder to believe that it’s the same today. I believe now that the people seem to be living under society and that society influences, not controls, how people do what they do today. And that even though it can seem that society controls us as humans; we can change it whenever we want. It’s just that people don’t like change.

Make or change an amendment

If I could make an amendment and get it appealed I would make it about how the federal government gives free money to Native Americans (Indians). I personally think that the government should not give Native Americans money and that they should be earning their own money just like the rest of the Americans today. I get how it was right to give them money and land right away when we came to America, but now however many years later they should be over that and want to live connected to us, “the settlers.” Instead of just giving the Native Americans money all the time, why doesn’t the government give them a little money right away and then get them a job so that they can start supporting themselves and their families? The reason I say this is because then the government would just save that much more money and plus not all of the Native Americans use that money for what it’s for. I have heard stories about how some, not a lot but some don’t even try to get a job and they sit around all day doing what they want because the government is giving them money. One of the stories I heard was there was a Native American man who got money from the government and bought a house with it. Right after he bought this house he smashed out a hole in the bathroom wall that leads to outside so that his horses could drink water out of the tub. Sure there are a lot of Native Americans out there trying to make a life for them and their families on their own without the governments help. But I think we should pass an amendment that makes the ones that are not trying to make a better life for themselves have to do that. Then get the government to stop giving them money after a certain amount of time and make them earn it on their own.
