One Step at a Time

A film that my English class has been watching and discussing is the film Amazing Grace.  It depicts how William Wilberforce fought his entire life to abolish the slave trade.  That was a major issue at that time.  There are many issues in this world, from slavery to war, it’s all bad.  One way I would try and change the world would to try and encourage people and make people feel good about themselves whenever I could.  If you were always encouraging and nice to people then they might not feel discouraged and lonely.  They might not think that they aren't enough and be depressed, which might even stop a suicide or an act of terror towards other innocent people.  Many times someone has been a hero and calmed someone down from a suicide attempt.  A more recent story would the story of the lady calming a depressed man down from shooting at a school.  That is a perfect case of how people can influence another person’s life and actions.  That is exactly how this ties into William Wilberforce and him abolishing the slave trade act a long time ago.  He persuaded people to quit committing the horrible crime against humanity that they were committing.  The point is, you never know how far showing kindness or being encouraging o a person can actually go.
