“My basic principles is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap;you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they are right” - Theodore Hesburgh

I think this statement is correct. The reason being is because at times we do make choices based on other people think or do. We should make the choices on what is morally right. An example would be stealing, let’s say you see all your friends doing it you are going to want to do it to. You should make choices out of what is right and not what is fun at the moment.What you think is fun now can be crucial to your future. Putting the blame on someone else seems easy but it is not right in any way. Add to that you can get the other person in trouble so that is choosing the wrong twice in one. You should always do what is right no matter what.

“ It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound” (not good) - Joseph Smith

I agree with this statement. The reason being is because everything that is popular is mostly bad. In songs they glorify lots of bad things. We should make songs that are nice popular. Same with celebrities. We make a big deal about the ones doing bad and we get them eve more popular. We should focus on the ones that are doing good. The ones donating to charity and helping out kids not the ones killing. Some people may also think you need to be mean to be popular,and do they start becoming mean. Real friends will love you no matter what whether you are “ too happy” or sad.
