    'You cannot tell me my child is wrong. You cannot tell me that i do not defend my home. You cannot tell me that those that are trying to break in are wrong, bad persons.'

    "Why?"

    'Because you cannot tell me my child is a bad person. And you cannot tell me that my child is wrong for being wrong and bad.'

    "Then what is wrong with right? What is wrong with doing Good and doing Right?"

    'You cannot tell me that just because a person breaks into another person's home that he or she is NOT doing Good or Right. They are human persons. They are neither wrong nor right. They are here today and gone tomorrow.'

    "So what is wrong with them being here today and gone tomorrow while they do Good and while they do Right?"

    'You cannot tell me that they are doing wrong or bad'.

    "Okay. Can the Police or Judge tell you that they are doing wrong or bad, then?"

    'If the Police of Judge tells me, then I might reconsider the possibility of my child having the potential of being wrong or bad.'

    "Um, excuse me.. Could you come here please? Your parents love you so much that they cannot see any potential of you being wrong or bad. Do you think this is wrong?'

    'Sorry Sir. I have to use my Fifth Amendment Right for this one. These are questions pertaining to my character and not my actions. Just because I make a few right or wrong choices does not mean that I am wrong or right. I am a human person. Here today and gone tomorrow. But on the whole, I am more _________ than __________. Thank you, Sir.'


    'Sir.. If I may... My child does his homework.. My child does the dishes. My child even does his/her own Laundry. My child never gets into any sort of criminal trouble and my child is an outstanding person in everyone's eyes. Noone has ever complained about any lack of good coming from him/her. In fact, this is the very first time that I have heard of any remarks about him/her. Before this time, my child has never been brought to our attention pertaining to his/her either wrong or bad or good or right character. Even our very own lovely neighbors has never brought him/her into any of our conversations. So it would be naturally assumed that my child is not wrong nor is doing anything wrong or else someone would have brought it to our attention. Right, sir?'


    ** knock knock


    'Oh, hi Betty. Come on in.. We're talking about my child.'

    'Sorry Sue but I forgot to tell you.. I saw your child running around the park naked the other day. I just thought you'd like to know. It was still daylight. Gotta go. Bye.. Call me.'


    'Um.. am I of age to speak for myself or should I wait until I am called? Well.. The reason why I was running around the park naked the other day has a very simple explanation. It was neither a crime nor an offense that I was running around the park naked the other day. Or else someone would have said something, right? And since noone has said anything about me running around the park naked, then I would have to naturally assume that nothing is wrong or bad about it. So you cannot tell me that my running around the park naked the other day is either wrong or bad.'


    ** Interjection.. Interjection..

    "Excuse me once again. May I ask a question? What level of school was the last that you completed? And may I ask how long it has been since that last level was completed?"

    'I completed my schooling as Law requires.'

    "And which level might that be?"

    'I believe it is 12th grade. Anything beyond that is not required by Law.'

    "And how long has it been since you finished your Law required schooling?'

    'It has been over 2 years'.

    "Thank you."


    United States 5-8 ; 15-18 - Ages vary between states. Beginning age varies 5-8, ending age varies 15-18. In case Wisconsin v. Yoder, the Supreme Court determined in 1972 that Amish children could not be placed under compulsory education laws past the 8th grade.

    Seems as if The Compulsory Education Requirements are based on 'AGE' and not Grade Level. A person past the age of 16, per say, may not be required to be in School, in Georgia whereas a person under the age of 18 must be in School in Nevada.

    Seems as if there is no correlation between Compulsory Education requirements and Crime.

    Socioeconomic status

    Socioeconomic status is typically broken into three levels (high, middle, and low) to describe the three places a family or an individual may fall into. When placing a family or individual into one of these categories, any or all of the three variables (income, education, and occupation) can be assessed.

    Additionally, low income and education have been shown to be strong predictors of a range of physical and mental health problems, including respiratory viruses, arthritis, coronary disease, and schizophrenia. These problems may be due to environmental conditions in their workplace, or, in the case of disabilities or mental illnesses, may be the entire cause of that person's social predicament to begin with.

    Education in higher socioeconomic families is typically stressed as much more important, both within the household as well as the local community. In lower socio econimic areas, where food, shelter and safety are priority, education can take a backseat. Youth audiences are particularly at risk for many health and social problems in the United States, such as unwanted pregnancies, drug abuse, and obesity.

    Cultural Diversity:

    Cultural diversity
    is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, the global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to cultural decay. The phrase cultural diversity can also refer to having different cultures respect each other's differences. The phrase "cultural diversity" is also sometimes used to mean the variety of human societies or cultures in a specific region.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_diversity


    Cultural Diversity is a 'Learning Experience' for those who enjoy engaging with other cultures and people(s).

    Private 'start up' businesses would fall more into the Culturally Diverse group more so than the 'Public Share Holding' businesses, which would fall more into the Mono-culture group.

    For any society to undergo Cultural Diversity within their society, it may come across to them and it may feel to them as 'Globalization', which is more harmful to the world's separated cultures on their own individual levels...


    All such concepts, such as Globalization, Cultural Diversity, Government(s), Political Correctness and others come out from the minds of Philosophers of times past who have written some works and publications and 'thought up' ideas put onto paper and then published for reading by other Scholarly Philosophers. Anti Semitism, Socialism, Unitarianism, Forms of Government, and even Capitalism itself, are all ideas and thoughts of past Philosophers that have been implemented into daily living. The further we have progressed from the time of the pre-Industrial Revolution, the more and more Philosophical works we see coming into daily living structures.


    While Established Establishments 'hold up' the society, thoughts of past and modern Philosophers get their chance of having a sector in living structures. [To think or imagine] A Society Governed by Philosophers would not be too possible because they would then need to form an Establishment [themselves] to uphold the society they are Governing. And any form of Establishment can be under scrutiny by the Philosophers of that time.


    Although a Culturally Diverse Business has proven to be more profitable, seeing that they would offer more services to more cultures, a cultural diverse Company can have its downfalls. Lack of Unity of thought and speech. Lack of Union in Communications. Lack of Unity in Understanding. Lack of Unity in Work Ethics, etc.. can prove more harmful in the long run than 'interesting' for the short run. And if and when the Established foundation of the Business begins to crumble, due to too many diverse ideas and opinions and attitudes, then the whole Business is at risk of being shut down.

    Organizing a 'level' within the 'Whole' of the Business, where multi diversity can have its free reign, would prove more safe and possibly more lucrative for the Whole Business.

    However, keep in mind for what reason persons apply for any job position. They are seeking employment for monetary pay, or income. And if for chance they seek to work to improve the lives of others by them working in Businesses, a person has to think how any more 'representation' to certain cultures is a good thing.

    Not every culture desires to be brought into the Spotlight of the U.S. Some prefer the quiet unspot-lighted life.

    One thing that could be good for such diversity being embraced is for the introductions and introducings of other cultural behaviors into other cultures.. And this would fall right back into the category of Globalization..


    So if Globalization is desired, which Society would have the preeminence? Which Society would be among the leading of 'trends' and 'ideas' and 'attitudes'? And how would everyone get to have their fair 'vote' to and of such Leadership Roles?

    if there is no individual voting or independence to vote, then it is not a Free society.

    And if even the voice to agree or disagree to the choosing of certain Leaders is not accepted, then it is not even an Agreement. Perhaps if this was to occur, the saying, 'survival of the fittest' would much more readily need to be applied IF a person was to have their own personal desires.

    With no independent voting rights and with no hearing of concerns, there are no 'rights'.

    People will soon forget that they even need to vote. They will be supplied for.. And some are okay with this also. But for this form of Socialism to be Global would require the approval of all the Leaders of all the different Governments and Constitutional Governments.

    Could this happen?

    But why would this be desired??


    The ABSOLUTE eradication of Crime???

    "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment US Constitution


    A Globalization being necessary to have a well regulated group of able bodied persons of age (Militia) who are allowed to join the Professional Military?

    Not All who apply for Professional Military are accepted. Professional Soldiers/Military are those who are 'paid' for their services as soldiers/militaries. Militia may and/or may not be paid for theirs.

    "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment US Constitution


    If the militia is NOT well regulated, where would the security and safety come from?


    When the US Constitution was signed, many people had already lost their lives due to violent fightings. Pioneers as well as Colonists had to defend their lives against attackers via arms and oftentimes without.

    Unfortunately, those from Britain were more interested in Roasted Pork and Fine Dining more so than hand to hand combat.


    But of course, having newly arriving guests unannounced can put a damper on personal plans also..

    I'm sure the Englanders would have felt the same way if their home was visited and inhabited by 'strangers'.

    Yet some of the most esteemed people of US history are those who 'fought' for the rights and independences of their 'own' [people].

    Who's right? Who's wrong?

    Either way, let those who know the wrong and the right try to not make the wrong again.
