    This article shows a great understanding of how it is to immigrate to the U.S. Hopefully this can bring some understanding to those who feel hateful to these groups of people.

    Everyone knows about unmanned aircraft being used overseas in the wars, but some people here at home might be starting to use them, if they haven't already. Obama has already forbid the use of armed drones over US soil, but that doesn't mean they can't be used for surveillance of businesses, residences, or citizens themselves

    In 1998 the individual soda intake was at its highest, averaging a surprising 56.1 gallons. Six years later in 2004, carbonated soft drinks had a 7 percent decline in individual consumption. In addition, replacing regular soda with diet soda helped decrease the intake of caloric beverages an impressive 12 percent. Health problems like obesity and being overweight result from the lack of nutrients in these beverages. The widespread issues are due to high rise consumption rates of these carbonated soft drinks. Liquid candy is statistically proven to be a prime factor for excessive weight increase. A problem for our population following the increase is the Type 2 diabetes. These health issues can lead to long term illnesses and sometimes life threatening diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

    We all know the negative effects dropping out of high school on individuals, but have you ever thought about how the act of dropping out effects the state you live in? Those who drop out are more likely to be faced with unemployment, poor health, criminal behavior, and need for public assistance. These are all things that end up costing the state billions. This is a chronic issue in our state in particular; Arizona has been ranked one of the highest for high school dropouts for many years.

    I like this article, even though it does show us why the education system is failing drastically apparently we don't know how to fix it. In my opinion I feel like we should maybe look into other education systems that other countries have that have a strong education system and start going off that. I feel like this could be a god topic to have for a research paper, I will most definitively look into that more.

    This article describes President Trumps ban on immigration. It describes that President Trump put a temporary ban on seven Muslim countries. Not only are Muslims not allowed to enter the U.S. but U.S. citizens are not allowed to re-enter the United states from those 7 Muslim countries.

    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.
  • emilyward94 on 30 Jan 17
     
    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.
  • cathurrin on 30 Jan 17
     
    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.
  • dia2158579 on 30 Jan 17
     
    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.

    Each State varies on legality however, some employers are legally allowed to discriminate against certain groups of individuals. Some states for instance can fire you for being gay, too sexy or not sexy enough. Civil Rights have come a long way but still do not protect everyone's rights.

    This article lists 10 reasons as to why GMOs are causing problems and should be avoided. These reasons range from the rising health issues in America, the effects GMO crops are having on the environment, as well as the biotechnology push the government is giving to the FDA, resulting in a blind eye being turned towards the testing and safety of GMO products.

    GMO's are very unhealthy to a human beings diet. Numerous health problems increased after GMO's were introduced in 1996. The percentage of American's with three or more chronic illnesses increased from seven percent to thirteen percent in nine years. GMO's will be used for the rest of our lives.

    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.
  • jen2081270 on 02 Sep 17
     
    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.
  • tyl2148960 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

    What the Health is a documentary on Netflix that explains the health benefits of an all plant based diet. It is a very biased documentary. It tries to get you to go Vegan. No animal products what so ever.

    Some might say my mom is a bit of a health nut, and she definitely avoids feeding us processed foods and GMO products, but she doesn't cook vegan. The fibers and proteins packed inside of organic and dieted (grass fed) meats are very important for a balanced nutrient intake. Obviously, I agree more with the writer than the show producer.
