Topic: Good and Bad (05/07/09)
The conscious of the human soul is filled with acts of kindness and a propensity to help others. This has been reflected throughout our history, and one shining example of this can be seen through the efforts of the US military to bring about worldwide stability and freedom.
Throughout the heartland of America, we have witnessed the kind acts of those who care about others. From the volunteer relief effort for Hurricane Katrina to the determination of those trying to save others from a burning building on 9/11. The depths upon which people will go to lend a helpful hand to those in need are endless.
However, there is also a dark side to the human condition. One that has also been witnessed time and time again, and knows no bounds or limitations. From the beating, torture, and ultimate crucifixion of an innocent man to the termination of six million Jewish citizens. Mankind has bread some whose thirst for human blood can never be satisfied.
However, as difficult as it may be to come to grips with such a blatant lack of compassion, the war between good and bad is necessary for they’re to be balance in the world. For if it were not for the evil of man, the good would not have a chance to flourish and grow. Hopefully in time we will witness the culmination of this battle, and live in a place where mankind no longer has the option. Where good will reign supreme and where bad will cease to exist.

a good factual reflection on good and bad. The first section seems to concentrate on the USA which is fine but the bad section seems to spread out to all mankind. Maybe the bad section could start with some bad illustrations from USA and then spread the argument out. As a UK reader I just found myself thinking - that wasnt america. The use of the crucifixion of Jesus was important but for me it seemed to have been placed in a place where it got a bit lost in the text. Hope you dont think this is too negative. I think a good peice but maybe try ensuring the arguments deveop logially and flow.

Good thoughts. It helps the reader if you leave an extra space between paragraphs. Keep writing.
