Arizonans react to Trump's Immigration ban - 2 views

  •

    I posted a similar article that went into depth about a certain airport. I can't believe that it also banned U.S. citizens from re-entering as well. It really is mind blowing.
  •  
    This article is another one about the Immigration issue we are facing. Since he put this temporary ban, there are people who are here legally in this country trying to travel, but then get detained at the airport just because of where they are coming from. This is not okay. I find this infuriating.
  •  
    This whole scenario is mind-blowing and shows what kind of person he is. How can he sit there and deny U.S CITIZENS re-entry to their country?! Makes me sick how intolerant some people still are. I think about the world my daughters will have to grow up in and it scares me.
  •  
    Not trying to be rude or anything but Trump is obviously not try to have people actually like him as the new president. To ban people who have green cards from re-enrtering the U.S is very wrong.

This article is centered on the way mandated paid maternity leave is handled in other countries in the world. The range is from 2 months to 1.5 years of paid leave.
  •  
    Do you agree with not having paid maternity leave? I think it would be nice to be paid while you are away, but at the same time, you're not working so why should you be getting paid while others are working in that meantime?

Why Vaccinations are Important - 0 views

  •  
    Original: Up through the early 1920's, diphtheria was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases in the United States, killing over 10,000 people every year. We started vaccinating children against diphtheria in the 1930's and 40's, and the disease started disappearing. Today it is rare for a doctor even to see a case of diphtheria, much less have a child die from it. Paraphrase: Killing over 10,000 people a year in the U.S, diphtheria proved to be one of the most feared youth diseases up until the early 1920's. Once doctors began vaccinating children for diphtheria in the 1930's the disease began to vanish. In today's world it is rare for a doctor to see a patient with diphtheria thanks to common vaccinations.
