Journal #2 - Issues Assignment

For my issues paper, I wrote about Hate Crimes. I chose hate crimes because I thought it would be an interesting topic. I found out that over 40% of the people who commit hate crimes are white, 2% are Asian and the rest is unknown. For the most part I didn't agree with hate crimes, but there was one pro that I agreed with. I like the fact that if there are a lot of hate crimes, it will keep the minority levels low in Canada because a lot of people are afraid to come here. By the end of the assignment, I could view the topic from both points of view. It wasn't very possible to just choose one side, but by the end of the assignment my opinion on the subject had changed.
