Week 4
Introduction: In this blog post the Wang family is faced with a difficult decision. They are on the edge about whether or not they should tell the grandmother who has different beliefs that she supposedly has only 3 month left to live. Would you tell your grandmother if she going to die? Argument: I do not agree with the families decision to not tell the grandmother. I disagree because I think that she deserves to know the truth about her illness. I understand that in her culture that is what they do, but i just feel like she should know. She would have been able to maybe get more treatment if she did know. If I were in her shoes I would want to know what was going on, and would not want to be in the blind. Even if they thought they were "saving her" by keeping it a secret, and even if thats what she wanted I still believe that she deserved to know the truth about her own health.If i were in the same position and I was the one that was about to die I would want to know because of the way I was raised, and my cultural perspective. Narrative: One time in my senior year of high school one of my friends asked me to drive him to Philadelphia for some reason. We were friends and hangout, but he wasnt one of my closest friends because of stuff he did. I asked him why he needed to go there and he wouldn’t really tell me what he needed to go to Philly for. I then decided to make up a lie that I had to do something else instead of driving him because I was unsure what he what going to be doing and he would not give me a clear answer. This lead to him getting mad about me lying to him but I was unsure if it would be a safe environment so i believe I made the right decision. In the end we are still friends and this only effected our relationship as friends for a couple of days.

You made some good points about needing to tell the grandmother.
