Student Success Statement: Joseph Smith


Student Success Statement
“It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and food, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (not good).”
Joseph Smith
Reflection: Smith is saying that we need to focus on showing people what is right, to show them that it is important and we as humans need to be examples to teach the next generations what right is. He means we have to show that things like recycling, anti-bullying, being ecofriendly are good habits to have and to make those popular. When you put things like alcohol, drugs, and bad role models children (our next generation) will view that as good, do you think we should? It is a factor or common decency yet people portray it as we are “judging” the way you raise your child. If you put a child in front of two separate people, one being a rapper with luxuries and then a neuroscientist beside one another the child would obviously choose the person well suited to they’re interests. When you think of what it would be it is WE NEED TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE!
