...Changing Perspectives: A New Outlook Margaret Williams PSY220 June 5, 2011 Amy Hennings The journey one takes through life necessitates change, for without it one is not able to grow and gain new awakenings. The process of change is an inevitable part of life brought about through maturity, gained knowledge, and discovering one self. An individual may have what he or she feels is a sound perspective about any number of circumstances or situations. However, as information and knowledge of the cause of such situations are revealed, the individual may have a change in perspective and develop an entirely different outlook. A situation that comes to mind more than once is the decision made by many women facing unexpected pregnancies to get an abortion. Putting this in perspective, this woman may be judged as morally wrong and often referred to as a “murderer” as a result of her decision to terminate the unwanted pregnancy, especially by those who oppose abortion for any reason at all. However, there are also those who believe it is the right of the young woman to make that decision whatever the reason may be. Let us consider the following scenario: a young girl is sexually molested by young man she has only just met. As a result, she becomes pregnant. The young girl feels as though she is not ready for the responsibilities of parenthood and makes the choice to have an abortion. Many of her friends, lacking knowledge of the entire circumstance, attempt to persuade...
