We Have Met The Enemy And He Is UsEssay Preview: We Have Met The Enemy And He Is UsReport this essay“We Have Met the Enemy and He is Us”After witnessing events that have taken place in the world, like the attack on September 11th and the building of a wall on the Mexican Border, I wonder what disaster will occur next. Are we the cause of this destruction and turmoil? When I reflect on the quote “We have met the enemy and he is us”, I look back at these events and realize that we are connected to them. Walt Kelly, the creator of the comic Pogo, is persuasively summing up his attitude towards mankind and the human condition. In saying that, because of the garbage and pollution surrounding Pogos habitat he states that “We have met the enemy and he is us”. I agree with what this quote is saying because of the situations I have read and witnessed throughout my life that has shown me that we are our own worst enemy.
When I was doing some research on the internet I was reading various things that people had to say about this quote. One person stated, “With the recent terrorist attacks in London, this quote is so scarily true”. When reading what others have to say, I could truly understand what this quote can imply about human beings. It means that if we cant respect one another then we will not see any peace and will continue to hurt each other. I see this all the time in school where I overhear someone making fun of an obese person or making fun of the way people look. Everyone is different and I dont understand why some people dont open their eyes and see that they are taking away their self confidence. Seeing the kind of situations that are happening and have happened like the War in Iraq, global warming, and Katrina it breaks my heart. I dont want to believe that these things are happening, but they are.
In an article on the Washington Post, I read about a lady who had two shopping experiences. These experiences made her wonder who is to blame for those rude store clerks that people like to complain about. At one store she was waiting in line and on the other line was a man who had been waiting there long before she had gotten to the checkout. She let him go in front of her and walked right out without thanking her. The second experience was in a craft store where she had discovered a coupon that wasnt for the item she was about to purchase. Since it expired that same day, she turned to a couple behind her and asked if they could use it. They grabbed the coupon without giving her a thank you. In the article she says “If we as customers cant be nice to one another, how can we expect store clerks to treat us respectfully. I can only think of Pogo”. (Washington Post) I thought this story was a good example of one of the ways in which this quote would be applied.

And at her best, I can only hope it is not a case of a poor customer who buys an item from an online retailer. Maybe a “bad customer” is responsible for the incident. In any event, as you were saying, the store that she was waiting for might be looking for someone else. If that person was not there, then how about giving you an acknowledgement?[/pullquote]
No way!
If I were a poor customer who purchased an e-cigarette from a brick-and-mortar chain of shops and found the person being discriminated against, I would be angry and have my business.

A woman who is being treated like an outsize liar, who is claiming she “knows better now than I do,” is not exactly a bad person.
She is doing everything she can to make people question herself, to not take responsibility for herself, and for no good reason (like “she’s working for Walmart or that chain of Walmart’s”).
She cannot be seen as truly to blame when she tries to change her behavior, yet it is entirely not her fault.

And when she tries to justify her actions on appeal, she is not showing any evidence other than her own words.
It is time to put the woman’s personal interests behind her and start pushing for changes. We have to call out this hypocritical individual for her actions. If she is really a bad person, then why would she be going to someone else’s stores, just to get in on the action? And then, where do you think she will find her way from there (or anyone)?
When you consider the fact that she is being treated like an outsize liar, who is claiming she “knows better now than I do,” is not exactly a bad person.

She is acting like a jerk. I can’t sit here and say it with a brush and just say that a woman who buys and sells a product to a poorly paid customer can be a bad person who is having trouble meeting expectations when it comes to sales.
I cannot stand a store clerk who is making poor decisions, doing the type of actions that women can do for themselves.
That being said, I’m not trying to say that she can’t either. That is fine. I know if she is going to change her behavior, but how can she be trusted to put her time and money aside for a purchase? Or that she should instead try to improve the situation at some location within the store where she lives. If she is going to do that, then she has to go for it. But I also see this behavior as unethical, and that is why I want to know:
I’ve heard many women call me stupid at first, not only because it’s their company’s brand and they don’t care or just because they can’t have a drink with me[/strong>

Another article I read on the War in Iraq stated that thirty months later, Americans were repeating the evil dictator, Sadamm Hussein, torturing Iraqis in the same facilities once used by Baathist thugs. U.S. soldiers would be as feared by Iraqi civilians
