Have you ever judged someone before? Have you ever looked down on someone because of the way they dressed, the way they spoke, or something they did? Have you ever judged someone negatively only to discover that they are really a good person inside? Or that they have a lot more responsibility to handle than you could even handle? Maybe they even end up helping you later in life? Wouldn't your heart burn with regret from the moment you despised them in the first place? First impressions or stereotypes don't allow you to explore a person's heart. In Winter's Bone, the people of the Ozarks are looked down upon by the outside world. They cook, sell and crank. They shoot, fight and retaliate against anyone who attacks them or their loved ones. They also live in a very dilapidated, poor and deprived society. They are dangerous people because if you do something that “breaks the rules” you will pay for your actions. It's no wonder people judge them, but does that make them right? Do visiting foreigners really know what the Ozarks are? I highly doubt it. By reading this book, you can draw many conclusions about the people of the Ozarks. One conclusion is that most of us would not like to live the way we do. In other words, we wouldn't want to live in their place. But what if we took some of the good things about the Ozarks and applied them to our lives? Not all the things the Ozarks do are bad. They are actually much more respectable than people automatically think. We just have to look deep into their culture and find out what they really are. To begin with, the Ozarks cling to their morals... middle of paper ... they have betrayed their morals as hypocrites. Then they could also debate whether there is any point in having morals in the first place? This view is neither true nor false, but an opinion. My point of view is different, however. I believe we have morality as a basic standard to respect. However, in certain circumstances, this morality does not apply. Sometimes life throws upheavals at you that force you to choose between morality. A question that illustrates this example is the question: "If you had a sick and dying child whose only hope was a drug that cost $100,000 and you had neither the money nor the insurance to pay for it, would you respect you the law? and not steal? Or would you steal the medicine to save your dying child's life? The answer to this question depends on you, your beliefs and the moral values ​​that are most important to you. What would you do?
