Recent Event: Russian Children

Russia has banned any American from adopting its children. Mr. Putin Russia’s prime minister had a very harsh reaction to President Obama’s reelection. Russian leaders have undone many of the United States attempts to influence Russia. They ordered The United States Agency for International Development to shutdown its involvement in Russia. This ended it influence in public health, civil society, and many other works. Then The united states passed a law called the Magnitsky act, An American Law punishing the Russians for the accusations of violating human rights. Russia retaliated with the ban of any United States citizens from adoptions of their Russian children. They claimed the ban was for the cases found of the abuse and death of Russian children that were adopted by the United States. Fortunately adoptions that were already approved would be allowed. This not only impacts many adoption options but also hurts Russia. The United States adopts many of it children without there adoptions fewer children will be able to experience a family for the themselves, and the United States will have an even worse connection with Russia.

Are People Naturally Good or Bad

People today are good and bad but I believe that they are naturally good. I believe this because children learn from example and usually are good from the start with no impurities with in their mind. Naturally people are good but become corrupted with wants and needs dragging them down towards the bad side of people. I believe that people were evolved through evolution. Animals are innocent creature of nature, so, how can a creature be naturally bad? An innocent mind is a good mind and naturally humans are good.
