    Dogs are expensive. I wonder how effective this is compared to other cheaper treatments.

    I believe it is crucial for PTSD. I think there is no reason the insurance company shouldn't cover this for veterans.

    Dogs can be expensive but they can be so beneficial and such a cheaper effective way to help someone in need.

    I heard about this the other day and was blown away by it. It made me laugh that this Rep. thought that ethnic or cultural classes insight violence and discrimination. In my opinion, they do just the opposite. When you learn about another culture you are able to understand their background more. It creates an environment in which understanding occurs and you are better informed on the struggles of a specific ethnic group. Being informed is never a bad thing and if someone thinks it is then clearly they need to take a few ethnic cultural classes to get rid of that ignorance.

    New research show that 37% of employers use a mean of social media to pre-screen there applicants prior to hire. While the use of social media gives insight into a potential hire it has also created a reason to HR professionals not to hire them based on personal information. While positions in political areas try to defend there use of candidates social media log in information people protest this as a invasion of privacy. Not only are candidates outraged but Facebook has also disagreed with the practice ethically and legally.

    Do you believe men should get paternity leave from work? This site provides both sides to whether fathers should get time off of work to help raise and care for their children or not. Comment below your thoughts!

    I noticed that some of the arguments against men getting paternity leave are that the women do all of the work, so the men do not deserve it. I think this is a foolish argument because it is contradicting. If the mom does all of the hard work, why not give the father paternity leave in order to help her with the baby? The father cannot do anything about the growing baby in her stomach and all of the side effects that come with it, however, he can help feed the baby, change the baby, and put the child to sleep. It is not a vacation, it is time given to spend with their newborn child and assist in one of the most difficult phases of being a parent.
  • lukevolk on 30 Jan 17
     
    I fully support this debate. Men should be afforded the right to be a parent just as much as a mother is.
  • emilyward94 on 30 Jan 17
     
    I agree, men should be able to get time off from work so they can also spend time with their new baby!

    I had a conversation with a coworker recently. We didn't understand why men are not offered Paternity leave at several companies including the one I work for. I believe that men need the time to bond with their children just as much as the mother does.

    I would have loved it if my husband could have taken time off from work when my children were born. Things aren't as clearly defined as they used to be. There aren't mens jobs and womens jobs. My husband helped me with all of my children, as well as working a full time job. It's up to each family to decide what works for them. We have stay at home dads now and moms who work and everything in between.

    This is an interesting topic, that I haven't herd before. It should be up to the man. although the women are the ones who are actually pregnant...

    I would have loved if my husband could have had paternity leave from work when I had my children. It also depends on the circumstances in the family household. Can they afford for both to be on leave?

    This article discusses the issue of child labor in China. Clearly, there are many reasons for the seeming necessity of child labor such as poverty, or lack of resources, but it is still remains a problem that has yet to be entirely resolved.

    I am glad you decided to share this issue regarding child labor. I noticed this article was posted 3 years ago, I wonder how much that number (11 million) has gone up since then. I like how this person provided us insight into how exactly child labor exists. This is definitely an issue that needs to be stopped.
