    I find this particularly interesting as Arizona, Phoenix specifically, continues to build new interstates and major highways. This is the story of segregation and neighborhood control by state governments by destroying communities with new highways.

Child Labor Discussion - 1 views

  •  
    This article gives an overview of child labor laws, historical background, and why this topic is one that is not easy to solve. For families who struggle to make ends meet, it is necessary to have everyone contribute. However, this keeps the children from being able to focus on education and have an opportunity to socialize and grow, possibly ending the cycle for that family of never being able to get ahead.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.
