Safety vs. Freedom - Is safety worth giving up your liberty? - 0 views

  •  
    Every day the federal government as well as state and local governments pass laws to make us a safer society. As they make our society safer they are slowly eliminating our rights, liberties, and our personal freedoms. Where is the balance? Is a safe nerf ball society worth giving up our freedoms for.
  •  
    Every day the federal government as well as state and local governments pass laws to make us a safer society. The government wants to regulate abortion, religion, sex, child discipline, marriage, and free speech.They want to control what you can post on the web, what your kids wear to school, where you can walk across the street, what you can watch in titty bars, what you can say at the office, where you can pray, where you can get high, who you have sex with, what kind of sex you have, what jokes you can tell, and when you can spank your children.
  •  
    The article discusses how easy it is for the government to take things away from you with very little effort. The author also brings up alot of his own personal views on society and how things are ran in america.

Healthcare - 0 views

  •  
    Good health is intrinsic to a persons well being. Those who do not have access to decent healthcare cannot have the same opportunity at life as those who do.
  •  
    Health care plays an important role in society today and especially social justice issues. It is important that everyone is able to have access to healthcare not only for ones life but the society as a whole. However, sometimes the healthcare system limits individuals as to if they are able to have access to it when it should be a born right.

    Definitely a common thing I've seen in the fitness industry. People can sometimes get so wrapped up in trying to be lean and fit that they go about it in the wrong ways. They literally workout to the point of exhaustion and then barely refuel their bodies with the necessary nutrients. Which causes more harm than good.
  •  
    Eating disorders are a tragedy, and a sickness. It is definitely evident in this country, more so than where I come form in Canada, as image is more important in America according to studies, appearance can take someone further than education, which is truly sad. Which leads to more people being self conscious, and more eating disorders.
  •  
    Eating disorders affect a great deal of American teenagers and young adults, and a big reason is because society sets standards as to what a male or female's ideal body should look like. Rather than trying to live up to society's standards, people should try to live up to a standard of health for their own bodies.
  •  
    This social issue has been around for many years and it is still a huge issue in the world. I like this article due to the fact that it gives you information on the disorders such as treatments, signs and statistics. All people should be educated on the subject.
  •  
    I think that this situation is sort of a "hush hush" situation so I think it is great that people are talking out about it. If more people talk about it, then maybe people that are suffering from situations like this can be open about it and about getting help. I also think that people opening up about it, will open up societies eyes and realize that people are suffering from this mostly because of the pressure people have to look how society wants.
  •  
    People are so wrapped up on having the perfect body that they fail to realize their hurting themselves. Eating disorders are very tragic, but are also very common these days. We start to think that just because one plan worked for someone else it will work for everyone. The truth is, everyone's body is different and reacts differently too.

Drinking and Driving - 3 views

  •  
    Making the right decision some time means safe life's. Drinking and driving is one of the big mistakes that people make during their life's.
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    Drinking and driving is very common in today's society. I like this article because not only does it provide facts about faculties, but also provided a visual emotional touch while reading. People are effected everyday due to someone driving under the influence or while intoxicated. It's good we have things like Uber, taxi's, and buses that help lead away from driving drunk, which in return will lead to safer roads.
  •  
    It's still upsetting to me how much of a problem this is in society. It's not anything new yet it still hasn't been stopped and that needs to change.
  •  
    Drinking and driving is not only wrong, but its completely selfish. You are not only putting your life in danger, but you are also putting others in danger. There are many different routes you can take rather than just getting into your car intoxicated.
  •  
    Ugh, I hate that no matter how many times you can say to someone "please call me and ill pick you up" and they still choose to drive themselves home because they do not want to "bother" you. This is such a big issue in our society that everyone needs to learn to stop doing. I feel that Uber is helping in some way lately though!

Social Media and Adolescents' and Young Adults' Mental Health | National Center for Hea... - 4 views

  •  
    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.

  •  
    I personally do think that social media does play a roll in today's mental health pandemic, whether the impact is big or small. Mental health is something I believe to be very important & I wish everyone took it more seriously.
  •  
    I agree with Ash. As a race, humans tend to emulate and learn from each other, and has been proven by examining cultures and societies. With social media, anybody can "learn" behaviors, thoughts, or even actions from anybody. With this in mind, what do you think will happen to future generations on social media if they were, for example, consistently exposed (and as a result desensitized) to something like violence?
  •  
    This is a great topic and a great find, social media has been directly linked to depression.
  •  
    Sadly this world has truly become run by social media and the input of people we have never, and will never, meet. The importance a "like" or "comment" has now definitely leads to declining mental health statuses. Some people are so based on the likes that their entire world would crumble. Companies pay people purely based on their likes and follower count and the power they hold over their viewers.
  •  
    Mental health is a really big deal, especially nowadays. Our predecessors commonly pushed down or ignored their mental health issues, but it's even worse for people today due to social media and other platforms. People today are becoming more mindful of social issues such as mental health and I think that's a really big deal.
  •  
    I also think social media plays a big part in mental health issues in todays society.
  •  
    For 3 or more hours day over 40% of girls and 20% of boys. The socials that are popular would be twitter, snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook.
  •  
    I believe there might be a link between mental health problems and social media especially the impact it has on some peoples lives
  •  
    Social media has really impacted adolescents and young adults in many ways. Mental health problems have sprung because of social media. Social media has its positives but it has made a lot of people see themselves in a bad light and view themselves as imperfect when in real life they are perfect.
  •  
    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.
