Pro Gun Control Arguments vs Anti Gun Control Arguments - 0 views

  •  
    A discussion and analysis of pro gun control arguments vs anti gun control arguments, and a call for reforms to both protect gun rights and limit gun crimes. As an advocate for reasonable gun laws that both protect my rights as well as supporting some gun control, it is difficult to find an article that fits me in this debate, but this has done it. Very good, and logical take on the whole debate

Argument: Should prostitution be legalized? - 3 views

  •  
    This website is an argument between Dianne Post and Bishakha Datta. The two women give their own perspectives on prostitution and whether they think it should be legalized or not. Dianne Post believes that it should not be legalized, while Bishakha Datta believes that it should be legalized. 
  •  
    I do not know how to feel about this article. They both have great points. I have friends who prostitute. I have seen some get there lives destroyed and some that seem to be fine. I honestly think it should be illegal because of the violence that comes from it. No women should have to face it.
  •  
    I disagree with the perspective that prostitution should be legalized on a philosophical basis. Dianna in her post made excellent points against the legalization of prostitution so I will not reiterate them. Legalizing something that has been thought of as immoral for millennia I believe would be unwise. I don't think anyone would agree with me if I were to argue for the legalization of murder, so why would we legalize something that is on an equal level of immoral behavior for a majority of people.

Should men get paternity leave from work? - 2 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    I fully support this debate. Men should be afforded the right to be a parent just as much as a mother is.
  •  
    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?

Should We Have The Death Penalty - ProCon.org - 3 views

  •  
    This site gives 10 arguments on the same subject. It lets us see both sides of the argument. It gives real life examples about the topic as well.
  •  
    This is an excellent resource and covering both sides of the topic in a way that does not have me feel as though there is an agenda one way or another.
  •  
    I think this is a great resource for building your own argument or feeling on the death penalty as it gives examples of both sides and thoughts in each particular area. Instead of giving only one side of the thought, it gives the two (pros and cons) and thus makes it unbiased.

Jobs Americans Won't Do? A Detailed Look at Immigrant Employment by Occupation - 0 views

  •  
    This analysis tests the often-made argument that immigrants only do jobs Americans don't want. If the argument is correct, there should be occupations comprised entirely or almost entirely of immigrants. But Census Bureau data collected from 2005 to 2007, which allow for very detailed analysis, show that even before the recession there were only a tiny number of majority-immigrant occupations.

Arizona | Death Penalty - 1 views

  •  
    This article is very informational on the death penalty in Arizona. It shows a timeline on how the process started back in 1965, until current times. It ranges from hangings, to gas chambers, and now the lethal injections. There are examples provided as well on the different inmate cases that were sentenced the death penalty. It is more informational rather than argumentative on death penalties.

  •  
    Really interesting article. I had no idea all of the problems Arizona has had and the controversies involved. The timeline helped paint the picture of the major events, all which were new to me.
  •  
    In my opinion I'm not agree with death penalty for criminals. I know that some of them deserve death or more but I think we don't have the right to take lives away.
  •  
    I agree with you 100%. I liked this article because it stated facts on the death penalty in Arizona(informational), but it was not argumentative. It allowed me to become more educated on the topic.

Supreme Court Must Protect The Individual Right To Marry, Not Limit Individual Rights - 0 views

  •  
    Applied to marriage, assuming what's not true, that marriage between two men offends me, it's not the government's role on any level to protect me from being offended. Whatever one thinks of marriage between two men or two women, the argument that such a union negatively impacts those who aren't gay, or those who blanch at marriage between gay people is not compelling. Here's hoping we don't stop at marriage in expanding individual rights, rights that are natural, and that should exist free of political or voter influence.
