How to write Position paper by using Argument?

 

Human life is fundamentally a shared type of existence. We do not live alone; we live with other people and things. We live lives which echo the statement of Donne “No man is an island”. We shared the lives of other human beings, and lives that are in many ways rooted in the earth, Michael D. Moga, SJ[1]. However, Pope Francis also mentioned in his book Fratelli Tutti on Fraternity and social Friendship as a way to Fraternity and social friendship are the ways the Pontiff indicates to build a better, more just and peaceful world, with the contribution of all: people and institutions, with an emphatic confirmation of a ‘no’ to war and to globalized indifference.[2] Thus, these mean that we as human beings need to be united as one in order to build our life in a society full of peace, live together and respect one another. Therefore, how do we share our lives' existence and build a better peaceful world. So, this article depicts three points as self-sacrifice, building relationships and the Christian teaching.

 

Self-sacrifice is one way to share our lives in society in order to save other people's lives. This sacrifice was acted by deliverer in story deliverance but his charity was only given his help to a little boy. It showed that there was not like charity; he made it like discrimination, because he just chose a little boy. My concept here to sacrifice something is to make all people equally which means one thing we should divide it to all. However, if we mention the charity it is not only to share the goods, but the true charity is to give up oneself to save others. For instance, on 14 February 2018, Nikolaz Cruz carried out a gun attack in a Florida High School, killing 17 people. Among the victims was the 15-year-old school student and junior cadet Peter Wang, who died while holding a door open to allow other students to escape the shooting.[3] Therefore, it shows us a true self-sacrifice that human acted.

 

This world needs human contribution to build it better. For Pope Francis, he described building a better world, people no need to war again, but we need Good Samaritan, open the whole world and also charity including the social relationship. That is right because people in the world today influence each other. Thus, if in the world special community, society and in the group that we belong and every people use to keep or act Good Samaritan, charity, build social friendship, it can be better, and our lives in the society is full of respect. So, through the social friendship in the world people can share their things to respond to other needs, and the following generation including the kids, might have acted charity as a little boy who acted that mention in the story, (Deliverance Cornado de quiros) it can be built better world.

 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life, John 3:16.[4] It means Jesus came in this world to save all people. However, we are all Christians we imitate the example of Jesus. Thus, our own version of Christianity has not only taught us about selfishness, but it teaches us to be selfless. For example, Mother Teresa, she was as Nun and missionary Mother Teresa, known in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, devoted her life to caring for the sick and poor… Her order established a hospice; centers for the blind, aged and disabled; and a leper colony.[5] “Thus, it is the truth of our own Christian teaching.

 

Therefore, the important way human life is to save each other through our willingness to share life with good things. However, self-sacrifice, building relationships and the Christian teaching are the right ways that people should understand, because it can help people in order to solve the difficulties that each of us faces. However, humans are the server of this world, and to make the world peaceful it needs contribution from us. Thus, social friendship is in order to bring all of people to be united to reduce the differences and discrimination. Those things that we need, today's Christian teaching leads us to build all of people to be selfless in societies that we belong. Finally, through this we have found three important things and based on this we can resolve other human needs, and we may contribute peace to the world.

My Personality

  What kind of person am I?        I am a motivated, ambitious and conscientious person. These three things I think are enough to describe me. I am not talented at music, dancing, or even other talents, but through the grace of God, He has given me these three (motivated, ambitious and conscientious) gifts. However, by using these gifts I have strong confidence to be God's servant who will serve Him and His people. Therefore, this essay will explain my personality, which is to answer “what kind of person am I'' by giving explanations through the following.       I am a motivated person. I understood myself as a motivated person because I believe in some factors that I have. The first one is that I used to be diligent in facing tasks. The second factor is tenacious in facing learning difficulties, do not give up quickly. The third one is showing interest in learning whatever I prefer to. The next one is I prefer to work alone. And the last on...
