    This article dives into the on going issue of bullying in the workplace. According to the article, more than 47% of people of have been bullied at work. This is an important issue that we as a society need to bring more awareness to.

    This is a topic not talked about often but I have witnessed some bullying from other coworkers multiple times. It's not something just seen on the playground, and it should have more attention drawn to it!

    It's wonderful that people are finally starting to speak up about this issue. It's always commonly talked about among the younger generation but bullying has no age nor gender. Thanks for the link!

    I love that people are starting to speak up about bullying and realize that something needs to be done. A lot of people talk about it and see it happening, but nothing is ever done.

    It brings such joy to see people to finally speak up about bullying when often times people are either scared to or nothing is every done to prevent such a horrible issue.

    Most people think of bullying in a school environment rather than a work environment, this is a topic that people do need to be aware of and how to help prevent it in their own work place.

    Not a lot of people think that bullying happens elsewhere rather than school. Bullying can happen even in church, camps, and even at home. I hope that one day we could put a stop to this.

    I am not sure what to think about this article. Am I the only one that thinks it is a little absurd? I say absurd because it seems people are increasingly sensitive. I do not condone bullying. However, an adult should not be bullied at work. I can not think of a profession that it would actually take place. One might say well that is part of the problem. No, just because somebody can't take a joke; are they going to report a coworker to a supervisor. Too many people are too sensitive.

    Bullying can happen anywhere and we may just not realize it. Most people don't realize when someones being bullied because it's all seen as a joke.

    This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

    I agree that in many ways our sex education can and should be a lot better. i found this to be insightful thank you, good find!

    Sex education tells the bare minimum and it's normally directed towards the males. I believe that our sex education system should be more about how to be safe, how to protect yourself and others, and it should be more inclusive.
  • ari2179956 on 09 Sep 20
     
    I agree sex education should be and can be more better. Every one deserves better information and to be more inform.

    I would also have to agree that there is a lack of sex education and it could be better.
  • anonymous on 01 Feb 21
     
    Sex-Ed could be so much better in many parts of the U.S. The fact that states that teach abstinence only have higher rates of unwanted pregnancy shows that the lack of sexual education is detrimental.
  • jaredjimenez09 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I agree with the lack of sexual education in U.S schools. There definitely needs a push to educate the younger generations on how to take care of themselves and prevent problems for them later on.
  • edv2140870 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I took Sex-Ed in high school and it definitely taught me a lot about things I was clueless about but some of the information was very contradicting like stay abstinent but be safe if you do.
  • cel2141812 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I think that Sex-Ed should be available to all students since so many teens just don't know how their bodies work. I've never even had the option to take Sex-Ed, but I think I know enough about it.
  • quintin2133597 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I agree with this article and how students should be allowed to take Sex-Ed in order to be informed of their own bodies. It should also be just as important as keeping the opposite sex safe as well.

    I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.
  • eli2207490 on 02 Feb 21
     
    It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

Mexican Americans racism prejudice

    Racism in America still exists and probably always will, especially toward the Latino community. Their acceptance in the work place and in education institutions are frequently effected by evidence a stereotypical bias. This is true prejudice at its core and continues to crosses generations.
  • sebastianw1991 on 27 Jan 17
     
    Growing up in Arizona I had no idea what racism was. My high school was predominantly Hispanic and I never saw prejudice towards them or hatred to me. It wasn't until I was an adult that I began to realize the problem with racism. Although I do believe that America is still the greatest country, any other country that you can say deals with racism better is just more white, and doesn't have to deal with it. I cannot say that there are not people here who believe, for some insane reason, that America is a suppose to be "white" and anyone of a different race is an "immigrant." I am hopeful that as each generation is born a small part of racism dies.

    This article discusses how corrupt the healthcare in America is compared to other countries. It shares why they make the healthcare expensive & who it ultimately benefiting from it, being the pharmaceutical industry & the rich. Also shares how even though your work may pay for you healthcare, you're still the one getting gyped.

    I actually wrote a presentation last semester on how the U.S. healthcare system is flawed. In my presentation, I outlined issues such as these. It's refreshing to see others share my views. Personally, this is an interesting read, as I intend on being a part of the healthcare industry. That being said, I believe future generations of healthcare workers need to be educated in matters such as these, so that one day, we may hopefully be able to "fix the system."
  • karlag1308 on 08 Sep 20
     
    America's healthcare is the most expensive amongst industrialized nations. But higher costs aren't leading to a healthier population or longer life expectancy. The high cost of healthcare negatively affects the American economy in many ways.
  • tal2145321 on 08 Sep 20
     
    I found this article to be very fascinating indeed. I hope that one day we will have a health care system that is excess-able to all Americans. Hopefully a solution will be properly found during our life time.

    Today is Open Borders Day - an international event created to celebrate the ideal of freedom of movement across international boundaries. Open borders is a radical principle, but also one deeply rooted in American history and in widely held liberal values of liberty and happiness.

    Homelessness is a major social issue. Housing is a basic right. Before the inalienable rights were changed to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" is was "life liberty and property" meaning housing is a human right.

    I really hope that this issue is taken seriously and that an end homelessness. After reading the article I looked below at the comments posted, I believe that both the article and the comments make very good points.

    This article discusses how people are becoming homeless. It is said that more people than ever are on food stamps showing the state of our society.The law center is working to help end homelessness.
