Agree or Disagree

- All people are equal.
Agree. I think this statement is extremely important. I believe that everybody is equal and there are no differences between us, people should be treated the same way. I'll justify my answer with two examples:
1. Democracy. While electing a new leader in democracy, each citizen is allowed to vote, no matter what is his level of income, his wealth, social status, religion or race. Each vote equals the same as the others and is as important.
2. The rule of law. All of us are equal when it comes to the rule of law. When you come to court, as a result of something you did, it doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, skinny, fat, or from any religion or faith, you will be treated the same way as the others.
Unfortunately, in reality this statement is not always implemented, but I think we should try to work by this principal in our life as much as possible.

- Dictator can be easily overthrown.
Disagree. It is very hard to overthrow a dictator. Usually a dictator controls his country with fear, in aggressive ways, in which he uses the army and police to go against the citizens.
However, I believe that it is possible to initiate protests and demonstrations against a dictator. (Recent developments in the Middle East in the recent few months demonstrate that it is possible). It requires courage and willingness sometimes to risk lives, when you challenge a dictatorship. Then, it is needed to build on a bigger support from more people with in the country and obviously from abroad, as well.
There is no program for how to remove a dictator from his office, but history proved that these developments are possible, although as I explained, it's dangerous and might cause lives of many people.

Nitzan's Times


Dinosaurs are BACK
A very funny and weird sight was caught by a group of tourists while they were walking in the streets of Los Angeles. A group of funny dressed young people were seen carrying a huge egg around the streets of LA. Bystanders and tourists who walked by soon spread the word, and lots of cameras and journalists came by and took the picture below. The group was in a hurry and didn’t agree to answer to too much of the journalists questions, except to one of them. Apparently the young group is a team of scientists who investigate interesting and rare occasions and situations that happen in the United States. They told the interviewer that their team of divers dived into one of the seas in Los Angeles, and found an enormous egg at the bottom. From their investigations they found that the egg must be a descendant of dinosaurs. This is a huge event and they are in a hurry to deliver the egg to their special habitat and take care of it as fast as they can. After telling the story they rushed to go and were having trouble due to the crowd that was gathering around them. At the end they were able to go on their way. A bystander who saw the whole thing said: "I just walked down the street, shopping with my wife, when suddenly I saw the egg. At first I burst out laughing, but then I actually realized that this is something serious. I am happy to be one of the lucky people who got to be at this kind of event." So we defiantly agree that this is not a regular event, and meanwhile we got updated that the growing egg is okay as for right now. We will update you with new information.

Outsiders persuasive writing


Hi my name is Nitzan, and I heard you just moved to town. I can see you are a bit confused from all the groups that are separated over here and you don’t really know which group you should join, Greasers or Socs. I personally think you should join to us, the Greasers, because first of all we're all one big family. Whenever one of us needs help, we will all be there for him. Yes, we like to fight and we do use violence, but only when we defend ourselves, mostly from the Socs. The Socs are spoiled and violent, who like to 'jump' us, which means to attack us, and start threatening us. They get drunk often, and don’t control their acts, and it already happened lots of times, that we Greasers got hurt badly because of the them. We maybe look tougher, but we aren’t, and the friends in our gang always help each other when you need. Although we're maybe known as the lower class people, and the Socs probably have better living conditions, they don’t know what real and close friends are.
I think you should join us because eventually, what matters is the people who will be beside you when you need them, and not how the people beside you dress, or how much money they have. So I hope I helped you a bit to understand what's going on over here, and I and the gang would be very happy if you decide to join us.
