Blog #2 Due: Monday 2/7/11

Refer to the "The Filipino and the Drunkard" to answer the following questions.

*Do you think it is acceptable to defend yourself even when you know there will be consequences? Provide reasons for your response.
*Is it in our nature to experience emotions-one thing which has been said to separate us from animals. Do you think that we must, as humans, control our emotions? Are there reasons why we should or shouldn't control our emotions? Explain and give reasons for your response.

Make sure your response answers both questions and is at least 5 sentences! These are controversial questions which should generate discussion-if you don't respond to someone then your not really making your voice HEARD. Respond at least twice!
