The gap between the 1% and the rest of the world is growing. The opinion that those that are in the top 1% have earned, and continue to earn that type of income. The reality is that research has proven this is not the case. Research has also proven that those who are not born to the upper class do not have nearly the same opportunities to succeed in life. The system is corrupt. The rich are growing richer off the work of the poor, who are becoming impoverished.

This is just a simple definition to get a clear understanding of what we are researching. Understanding what a personal freedom is, is important to our society because we all have a right to something.

Drunk driving is an issue that is still present today. Some individuals have no disregard for the safety of those around them leaving them victim to their reckless decisions. Although laws are set in place for this problem already are they extensive enough if it is still an issue?

Although we have laws put in place to punish those who prefer hate crimes are they strong enough? With such laws in place there are still hate crimes that are committed with no fear of the repercussions. What should be done to stop these crimes?

With the current debate over the funding of planned parenthood I thought it would be fitting to add this in. Should contraceptive services be provided to women regardless of their employers personal beliefs?

Absolutely. Contraception is a medication used for many other health issues. Even though the main use is to prevent pregnancy, should you prevent others from using it to slow ovarian cyst growth? Most diabetes medicine has a side effect of weight loss. Should this medication be stopped, because weight loss drugs aren't covered by health insurance?

Who is responsible for being punished in extreme cases of child abuse? Are caseworkers at fault for allowing the children to be placed into such care?

This is about the abuse that those residing in nursing homes experience. Nursing home workers severely abuse residents by neglecting them and physically abusing them which leads to mental health issues.

I agree that there are bad nursing homes out there. However, there are also amazing nursing homes out there that have excellent staff and owners/operators that have years of experience.

This article briefly talks about paid maternity leave. The U.S. is the only country that does not have a national paid leave mandate. 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?

The article explains how important biodiversity is when maintaining life. The author explains that since 1970, human activities has destroyed 75 percent of all ecosystems. The article also talks about how our agricultural and fishing practices have driven 1 million species to extinction.

An article from a college about statistics and effects immigration has on our economy. Negative or positive you make up your mind on how immigration effects us.

Definitely a topic I always find myself neutral. I try to have positive outlooks with the U.S. being the number 1 with the immigration. I get that most immigrants come here for the American dream (freedom) but then I think shouldn't they come here the right way by becoming a citizen first? Since we would have to as well if we were to go live in their countries. Then I see stuff on the news in the U.S. about shootings, bombs, etc caused by an immigrant. That would be my negative outlook.

This article was very interesting. I have often wondered what the effects of immigration are, and if they affect the economy positively or negatively.
