Youth in Asia
(Euthanasia)
Austin Chong, a young 15 year old student that goes to South Highschool in Torrance, California, is a Korean American male who loves to play video games. He is also a student who loves to go and travel to various places like Palm Springs, Cancun, and Las Vegas as he justifies them as fun places to visit while still young. On the side note though, Austin is a strong supporter of the death penalty as he goes in depth of how it saves both the normal citizens and the inmates on death row. He says, " I don't believe that people who commited crimes should be treated inhumanely." Some may have mental problems and some may have motives of protecting something they have a passion for. He believes that people do not deserve to be represented as wild animals or monsters.
Dorothy An, a 16 year old student that attends Apple Valley High School in Apple Valley, California, is a Korean American female that loves to read, cook, and draw. She is very passionate about her morals, but she also loves to listen to other peoples' opinions about life. She loves all animals and feels that dogs, especially, can relieve a person's stress. She takes Muay Thai classes now and enjoys beating up the punching bags. She wants to become a person who is successful in life and has the capacity to feel sympathetic to her fellow humans. Dorothy feels that the death penalty could create a better society for us as citizens and if done quickly can save the states more money than prison for life would. She believes strongly in the death penalty since she believes that people should stop the trouble at the source by cleansing the world in the fastest way possible.
Grace Kwak goes to Willow Glen Middle School. She enjoys writing and listening to music. She plays the french horn and does Cross Country and Track. Grace does not know what she wants to be when she grows up but is interested in the medical field. Although being full Korean, she hates kimchi and instant ramen. Grace does not like writing a bio and does not know what to write to reach 150 words for this bio but will do what she can. Grace's least favorite season is summer because she hates the sunlight. She drinks lots of water and typically eats snacks all of the time. Grace does not like her name but acknowledges that it could be worse. In addition, Grace enjoys going to the beach. Her opinion on capital punishment is that it should be put into action for reasons which are in her blog post with Dorothy.
