    Killing for revenge, marrying someone for money, and selling drugs were the three that we found most serious. Killing revenge is still murder, marrying someone for money is basically stealing from them, and selling drugs could get somebody killed.

    Continuing a feud your family has had for generations, crashing a party, and marrying against parents wishes were what we found the least serious. Continuing a feud is okay because you were raised not liking them, crashing a party because you might actually be saving their lives if there is alcohol or something, and marrying against your parents wishes because it should be your own choice.

    3 that are more important:
    suicide: It is bad because teens that are bullied feel like they have no
    other answer when they did but didn't know that they did.
    picking a fight: it is really bad because people do that for no reason and
    it hurts them if they are innocent and don't know what's going on
    when you attack them.
    selling drugs: you can get caught and be sent to prison for a very long
    time and you will have a bad reputation.

    3 things less important:
    Planning to deceive someone: it isn't as important as suicide or killing
    people and picking fights because no one really thinks of it.
    crashing a party: it isn't important because all you do is go there and not
    get in trouble you could also be stopping bad things from happening
    like drugs, killing, or pregnancies.
    lying to parents: it isn't that bad because everybody does it and doesn't
    really reflect bad even though sometimes it can be if the lies bad
    enough.

    Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were most serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being most serious.
    -Selling drugs, killing for revenge, and suicide. Selling drugs could get you and others into trouble. Possibly even jail time. Killing for revenge is also bad because it WILL get you into trouble, it's a horrible crime to commit. Suicide is serious because people think it's bad but they never know if it will get better.


    Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were least serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being least serious.
    -Crashing a party, picking a fight, and planning to trick are our three.
    Crashing a party isn't that bad. It could help someone stay out of trouble by crashing it. Picking a fight could be for self defense or to protect someone. Planning to trick someone isn't a big deal. Sometimes tricking people could be a good thing.

    2 Lying to parents
    1 Killing someone for revenge
    2 Advising someone to marry for money.
    2 Marrying someone for money.
    2 Continuing a feud that your family has had for generations.

    1 suicide
    3 crashing a party
    3 marrying against parents’ wishes
    2 giving the finger or another vulgar gesture
    1 picking a fight
    Suicide could lead towards that person's past social life and cause of suicide.
    Picking a fight, could lead to death.
    Killing someone for revenge, their family could get revenge as a counter attack.
    Selling drugs, it doesn't have the statistic amount of killings than that of humans.
    Marrying, you have the right to marry whoever you please.
    Crashing a party isn't much of a problem, it can be handled immediately.

  7. How do we decide what offenses are most/least serious? What aspects or experiences come into play when evaluating the above offenses?

    We learn morals as a family when we are young. I decided by what I feel should be watch and investigated like murder and killing. I always feel like suicide is a big deal because I have had experience with it. People that have had to go through stuff involving death or killing may have different views than me. I think depending on your lifestyle and the way you grew up will reflect your different opinions.

  8. How do we decide what offenses are most/least serious? What aspects or experiences come into play when evaluating the above offenses?

    How we can decide the most serious is how some of those things can effect people. The least serious offenses could be picked by being the ones some can get over. Some aspects could come into play like with suicide. Suicide could vary from a crappy life to bullying. Crashing a party could turn bad, like someone starting a fight. Some of the offenses could lead to OTHER offenses. Giving the finger could lead to picking a fight, picking a fight could lead to death, etc.

  9. We decide what offenses are most and least serious mainly by our personal beliefs. It can also be affected by our past experiences. If someone is against drugs, they would probably think selling drugs is bad, but if they did drugs, they would be okay with it. Someone who knows someone who has committed suicide will probably have stronger feelings about suicide than someone who has nothing to do with it.

  10. i think we decide offenses by the way someone gets hurt or how bad it is. For example a murder is worse than lying to another person that is also how the law determines what a person gets for doing something bad.

  11. We can decide about how those things effected your life. Your experiences are really what help you decide about the least and most and it helps you decide. The aspects that help you are kinda of your past and where you came from and how serious that those things are that you believe and what you would like to stay away from more.

  12. Suicide in my opinion is the worst.I think it is dumb for anyone to take there own life.I don't care what the reason is that makes someone want to do that.If your depressed and staying alone and inside your home thinking of suicide , then quit and go out do something fun , get counseling , or go meet someone new.If someone is bullying you and it makes you want to kill yourself don't.Ignore them , tell someone , or take care of it yourself.Suicide is not the easy way out it's the dumbest , if you think your life is such pain wait until you find out were your gonna spend the rest of your eternal life at.

  13. I think we decide which offenses are more serious by the ones that happen more often and the ones that we hear about on the news. I think that suicide is one of the serious ones because it can be preventable and it is mostly caused by other people. Selling drugs is also bad because you can hurt yourself, or you can be put in jail for selling drugs. I think that crashing a party is not very serious because you could not hurt others or get in to trouble depending on the type of party you crashed. I think that picking a fight is not serious because the person you are picking a fight with could chose not to fight and both people will be fine and no one will get hurt.

  14. We had a group voting and discussion. You have to take the aspect of certain views such as people who want to avenge their family. Also there may be people who had family members married for money. They may have then wanted to take revenge against the woman or man that took advantage of their family member.

  15. Felipe:Killing someone for revenge is a serious offense and sometimes revenge isn't the option and you can go to jail if you kill someone.Selling drugs can put you in jail and you could get hurt and you wouldn't have anymore friends.Killing someone by mistake will haunt you forever and you will feel guilty and you will never get over it.And the least offenses like lying to parents isn't a serious offense.

  17. Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were most serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being most serious.
    Killing someone for revenge, Selling drugs, suicide, and picking a fight.
    Killing someone for revenge isn't going to solve anything, If they plan to do it to someone else, then they need to be locked up, killing them isn't going to bring the person that they killed back.
    Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were least serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being least serious.
    Planning to trick/deceive someone, Lying to parents, crashing a party.
    All of these can make the person you were either doing or planing to do to them loose there trust in you.

  18. How do we decide what offenses are most/least serious?-
    I would rate the offenses by who will be affected, if it involves some one dieing, and if it could end up ruining other peoples lives.

    What aspects or experiences come into play when evaluating the above offenses?-
    when some one dies, that some one will most likely have family and friends. selling drugs, a lot of people do drugs but a lot of them might be teens so their lives would all ready be ruined. A lot of bad things happen to good people.
    THE END

    Killing for Revenge because revenge is never the answer and the person should be the bigger person and let it drop, Marring for money because that is basically stealing from your partner, and killing someone by mistake because it is still taking someones life and you shouldn't be fighting that violently in the first place.

    Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were least serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being least serious. Marrying against family wishes because its your life not theirs and whether they like it or not your the one that lives with them, Giving the finger because people do it for jokes to there friends or do it to show anger when they could do a lot worse, and Crashing a party because somebody could consider jumping off a bridge as a party and by crashing it you would save their life.

    How do we decide what offenses are most/least serious? What aspects or experiences come into play when evaluating the above offenses?

    I personally decided what offenses were more serious by how much harm or pain they were causing to others like if it involved them dying it was automatically a four but if it didn't have any affect on others it might be a one or two. Some aspects or experiences that come into play are some things like drugs and surroundings could start these offenses, some offenses could lead to more offenses like selling drugs could mean your doing drugs which could end in picking a fight and then feeling guilty so you might commit suicide.

    Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were most serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being most serious.... Killing someone and selling drugs because those are both very illegal.



    Which THREE offenses did your group members agree were least serious? Add a sentence or two justifying each offense as being least serious....Giving someone the finger and picking a fight because everybody does it at least once or twice and its not that serious

  22. I think the ones that happen most often should be now be the worst so people will stop doing them because then they will be getting into more trouble than before when they were getting into trouble it was like a slap on the hand and now they should make it worse so they don't keep doing it sense its more trouble

    Serious
    Suicide-Because you shouldn't really end your life for some dumb reason it's call "dealing with it" it'll pass if not get a therapist
    Selling drugs- because you can get into a lot of trouble and bad stuff like gangs and you can end up being dead or just living your life with worries
    Kill someone mistakenly- because you can get into trouble like prison for life and you'll feel bad that you did that once that person didn't deserve it
    Less serious
    Crashing a party- it's just a part it's not like someone is going to kill you
    Lying to parents-because everybody lies to there parents, i hopefully think your smart enough not to do something real dumb
    Marrying against parents wishes- you don't always for your entire life full fill your parents wishes your the one marrying someone you love they don't have the right to judge unless there completely freaks
