It is wrong to fight

This week for literacy we had to do a writing sample to show our level of writing. The topic is...

It is wrong to fight. I hope that you enjoy reading this.

When most people think about fighting they think about physical fighting, but sometimes verbal messages are more hurtful. It is alright to fight back verbally but you have to think before you act because when you are in a red brain ( angry brain ) then you don’t do so. But it is definitely wrong to start up a fight because even if someone fights back, you will have caused a problem. So I agree with this topic, it is completely wrong to fight. 

Some people think that people who start up and finish fights are heartless, but are they?

Of course they aren’t. Most of their fights are usually caused by family affairs, they most likely want to take out their anger on someone else that is innocent because they think it will make themselves better people. But it won’t, will it. This just makes fighting more horrible than it actually is. Studies show that kids will copy their parents behaviors, sometimes that child is pressured into doing something. This is completely wrong.  

Counter arguments:

Sometimes physical fighting is alright, but you need to know when it is alright. Fighting is ok when you are using it to defend yourself from harm.  You could also fight someone in a dojo for karate or other things, why, because this is a sport where trained coaches are around you and can help you. If you ever do get into a fight it is still better to be silent and walk away.  Sometimes if you have a good place to do it, you can fight to let aggression and emotions out of your mind.

Research shows that males are more commonly in physical fights then women in verbal fights. 30%  of male actually report being in fights physically or verbally and 70% of women report being in a physical or verbal fight. This shows that women are better at owning up to their mistakes and going with the punishments than men are. In other words this means that, if you have not been the one to start up a fight, but to go back at the person, you are still doing wrong, but owning up and facing the consequences. This also means that women aren’t starting up the majority of the fights. 

I think that fighting has decreased since 1997, why? Because there are a whole lot less gangs, which means that we are taking action and stopping the fights. I think that as a whole, fighting is bad, verbal or physical. So no more fighting. It is completely wrong. Weather you start the fight or add on to the fight, either way it is still wrong.
