True Non-Partisan
I’m gonna make this short and sweet. Hello, I am here today speaking on behalf of myself, no one else. My name is Robert, I’m 17 years old, and I’m a homeschool student who is very interested in politics, and society as a whole very much. I’ve come to understand more and more that no matter what the topic is, people have tended to care about one another’s opinion and whether it’s truthful, more than their own, the rest of this speech is not to be taken in any form of context.
I ask everyone to ask themselves. Do you know what the definition of politics is? Everyone will have their own answer, but can we try to find a common ground? Google will give you, “Politics is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group. It refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance—organized control over a human community, particularly a state.” I’m not a fan of that definition though, call me bias. I do think I have a better simpler one, and it’s only one word, so it’s more of replacing it I guess. Values, personal ones that individual has a right to have specifically, apart from family, or friends. Politics are based upon values, they’re influenced by values, most of all though, to help paint the picture I’m trying to display, politics can’t really be altered or manipulated without values.
I want to ask a second question, this is more for general thought. Are your values important to you, and with that, full of only truth? Ask yourself in whatever context you might like, the only thing that I ask is that you genuinely walk away thinking about your own values, not one another’s. Thank you.
