I found this article to be my favorite, in the article it lists 20 life skills not taught in school, from communication and thinking to learning how to build credit and get insurance. This made me really think how I didn't learn any of those skills that I use everyday now when I was in school. It even talks about how the bible, cooking, guns, and finding a job all play a big part in adult life.

Thanks for sharing this, you're right this is a great article! There are so many skills that the public education system is not teaching, yet they are super important and critical for everyone to acquire.

I think this article is really cool. It shows really important skills that aren't taught in school that you don't even realize till you actually think about it. Many day to day things aren't taught in school but things that we will never use are taught.

This is a brief article that gives an overview how large the issue of sex trafficking of children is in the United States is. The United States accounts for near 50% of child pornography images sent from person to person.

I knew sex trafficking is pretty much everywhere to date, but I had no idea that the United States accounts for 50% of it. This article is so sad to read because of the reality of it. There definitely needs to be a solution to all of this, you would think that with today's technology and such that we could figure out how to stop this once and for all.

This is a topic that, despite its importance, remains unspoken, which is utterly tragic. It was shocking to read that the United States creates the majority of child pornography seeing as nothing is being done despite having so much power. Although this topic is difficult to discuss due to its ubiquitous and unsettling nature, it needs to be addressed and acted upon in order to be capable of abolishing it. As a country, the United States ought to openly discuss this topic and utilize its unity to end the exploitation of children.

Children have more to gain from being taught responsibility than the fear of over exposing them does. It is important to be their role models in life.

With mental health issues becoming more prevalent in today's society. One has to wonder if it might be linked to the ever growing social media world we live in. With many studies speculating that social media might be the driving force behind our mental health pandemic.

this article is an interesting one to say the least. may people are affected by social media but young adults are the most affected. this article shows how young minds are most affected by these media outlets.

I would definitely agree with the article as it claims the correlation between time spent on social media and the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I likes how they referenced how abstaining from it can result in higher levels of happiness.

This article talks about unequal school funding in the United States. It talks about the effects of unequal school funding and how each state is funded differently.

Schools 100% need more funding than they receive. They are the foundation of childhood and for a child not to be able to learn to their full potential because they aren't able to have all the resources they need is heartbreaking.

The topic of school funding is vast and varies from state to state; however, we can agree that underfunding of schools is a huge problem. The article shows the difference of school funding between each state and the how it impacts students. It also highlights the difference of school funding between the U.S and other countries.

This article discusses the difficulties that the students and the teachers confront. It lists out some of the issues and gives a description on how both sides are affected.

I agree with you in this article and how students and teachers are having a lot of difficulties. COVID-19 really impacted everyone in a huge way and it has caused many problems for in-person learning and more.

this issue is one important one that many of us students face with this new way of learning. like mentioned in this article students face so many problems with the online learning.

In this article it talks about how certain life skills should be taught to students before graduating, that all that math and english are very important, but won't help you out when you are starting out with new credit cards, or when your car breaks down, or even knowing some of the basic laws of our awesome country.

This article talks about how not to let school get in the way of your education. That being said it talks about how its important to remember that art and hard work is just as important as the regular everyday curriculum that we all have today in grade schools.

An organization based out of Australia that helps poor countries to provide clean drinking water. Underlies the importance to global health thru clean water.

What a great organization! Water sanitiation is something that we take for granted here in America, it's easy to not think about the other countries that have clean water.

this website discusses several issues but this link actually takes you to the issue of unsanitary water. This caught my attention due to the fact that so many countries do not have this luxury that we do. Clean water is commonly overlooked in our society.

This article states generic information on the different types of abuse then leads into specifics.It displays facts, warnings, and signs of a domestic violence in relations. Becoming to controlling, demanding, and jealous are a few examples they specify. Any type of abuse may not show early on, but become more clear as the relationship progresses.

This is an issue that should not be happening in the world today. It is important that we focus on controlling situations such as this so they stop being so common.

People need to be more aware of signs that could possibly be domestic violence. I also think that we should learn more about it as children in school, and even offer ways for young ones to seek help if they're afraid.

The Pledge of Allegiance timeline from 1892 to 2014 in a nutshell. According to this article the pledge was never really banned from our schools. There was however attempts to remove "under god" from the pledge. I personally would have liked my children to have said the pledge every morning at school just as I did.

I did not know the history of The pledge of Allegiance but this is very insightful. Interesting that a Religious group also tried to declare it unconstitutional. Good find!

For many kids the Pledge of Allegiance is just tradition at school and for others is a very important quote. It is very interesting how our pledge ask for loyalty and how our kids are learning that since they are little.

Amanda B. Clinton wrote an article talking about the crisis refugees are facing with psychological health. She stated that the APA Office of International Affairs hosted a program called the International Learning Partner Program in Kosovo. 10 U.S. based psychologists who joined the program in Kosovo allowed people like Ilir, an expert in Balkan culture, who had no choice but to flee his country.According to United Nations High Commissions on Refugees every 20 minutes people leave everything behind in order to escape the terror of war and persecution. Okazaki, Haarlammert, Guler and Liu (2019), indicated that psychology has never been more important than it is today. With the strong leadership in the APA evidence on the recognition of the refugees rights has increasingly gotten a lot better.

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.

Thats awesome! I didn't know that there was a national association to help people vote. I know that voting is very important & I hope everyone goes out & votes.

These ideas include lack of Health Coverage, poor transportation services, deficient Health Care Resources, and how they impact vulnerable populations.

Healthcare barriers are a concern in today's world, with pharma gaining ever more power within the government. Healthcare prices are skyrocketing, creating an economic barrier. I learned from this article that physicians could refuse to help patients using Medicaid just because of the lower rate. The goal of Medicaid is to ensure that low-income people can receive healthcare. Physicians should not refuse healthcare to the Medicaid population based on the rate of cost.

This article provides in depth insight on the barriers people face accessing adequate healthcare in America. It talks about how important healthcare is and how it is a human right to have equal access to it. The website provides credible evidence and sources to support all the contributing factors.
