Blog post 2: Synthesis

Devin Gutierrez

Claim: I don’t think certain people have advantages when it comes to doing well in competitive sports, or school stuff, or activities. I don’t think this because no matter who you are where you come from I think with hard work and effort (to get help in whatever you need help) a person can succeed at anything they put their mind to. In don’t think its based off what month you were born in or how rich your family is, everybody has to put in some work otherwise (I don’t think a person feels accomplished, I know I wouldn’t) they aren’t hard workers like the rest of their community or environment.
 I don’t think he thinks people have certain advantages, and if he does then I think he thinks they don’t deserve them. I agree with him because people work to get wealthy in anything and he is saying that no matter who your parents are or if you are wealthy because of them you still have to work. If he does think this then those specific advantages would be what month you were born in and how physically more mature than a person who was born a few months after them. This chapter had me thinking about my daily question but didn’t makes me change my mind on weather or not people have certain advantages. Some of the sources he used were the months in which a hockey player was born and that makes them more physically mature, and what culture you were born in makes you how smart you are. If I were to say that I agreed with this phenomenon then yes, I would agree that he made some valid points, but I’m not so I think he is saying that this phenomenon is untrue and it all depends on how much work you are willing to put into your goal. Then I am agreeing because that’s how I think our society should work.
