Minorities have a lower approval rating of law enforcement than non-minorities, as minorities feel they are often singled out.

As much as our women's rights laws have changed in the past years,other countries have not come as far. Some countries,however,are moving small strides towards better days for women.

Passing the law is just the first step though,applying the law is going to take time and effort.

This article was quite informative and tragic to read, seeing as women are still being treated as less in other countries. While the United States harbors its own cases of gender inequality, women in other countries are faced with injustices they cannot fight on behalf of misogynistic views. While feminism has grown largely within the United States, it seems to lack intersectionalism, which excludes the rights of women in countries ran by a patriarch. I think that this article displays the wrong in the world that can be acknowledged by men women, feminists and non-feminists.

I learned something! I did not realize the National Association of Social Workers plays an integral role in making sure people get out and vote. Groups with whom they work are listed, and there is a reminder that September 22 is National Voter Registration Day.

Any state that has hot, dry or humid weather is at high risk of this because of how much water is needed to survive in extreme temperatures.

Water is truly an under appreciated thing essential for the planet's survival.

This article talks about how closely linked poverty and social justice are. Those living in poverty are in their situation because that have not had equal access and opportunity. The best way to alleviate poverty is to focus on providing equal opportunity to everyone.

I agree with statements made in the article about the inequalities that people who live in poverty suffer. Much of this social issue has to do a lot with race and legal status which often times determines eligibility for many programs that should be helping those in need. There is an overwhelming population over looked and discriminated against, adding more fuel to the fire. The number of people affected by poverty is concerning as there should be no reason that they are not receiving the help they need. Very informative article about the subject.

I also agree how there are inequalities for people that are in poverty just because of their race and legal status also how it determines they are eligiliable for healthcare, and etc.
