can writing enact social change?

I believe that writing does have the power to enact social change. It has the power to move people

 and give them insight into the current situations of the world. It has the ability to give people

 hope for the future or realize the grim present the people may be in.  it has the power to give

 truth and wisdom in a time of deception and ignorance. It can speak the words that so many

 want to say but don’t have the courage to. It can do so much just by telling people what’s really

 going on and how the world is around them. It takes a high grasp of reality and the ability to

 see the truth to make a speech that can enact social change. This is why I feel writing has the 

power to enact social change.

price of a child post

What is the true price of a child?

It takes the ability to say no and make your own rules

It takes care and love for another human being even over your own feelings

It takes the time to teach them the basic skills in life

It takes patience and understanding for when they make mistakes

It takes the ability to talk to them and help them through life

It takes the courage to defend them and keep them from danger

It takes responsibility and care

This is the true price of a child and this price is one that must be payed every day
