Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

Many nonbinary and genderqueer identities face a difficult time when attempting to transition. While transgender health care framework is available for dealing with such instances, many health professionals simply are not aware or educated on the subject to accommodate to the needs of nonbinary or genderqueer people. The lack of awareness on the subject thus can cause complications or obstacles for people as people can be denied access to these services if the health professional believes that the person is not transgender.

This article goes over 10 different areas of struggle for public schools in America, ranging from lack of funds, to the amount of absent kids a year, & the lack of safety in schools. It highlights many key area's that teachers are trying to fight for.

I agree with many of the points and believe with the proper changes, and funding we can build a better education system. but also agree with dan that many come to america because we do have a great education system but most of it costs money.

A lack of funds is defiantly a massive problem. If there's going to be a chance to fix these problems anytime soon, that should be a major one.

An overview of the types of choices available for education

Homelessness is another social issue and its caused by lack of affordable housing and accessible jobs. Once one becomes homeless it is very difficult for them to receive help as the government lacks to have adequate funding, or any funding for that matter, to assist in decreasing the numbers of homelessness. Whether that be through more jobs, less experience/starting experience available, higher minimum wage, and more affordable living situations.

I really liked this article it explains a lot of factors that go into how people can become homeless and sometimes not be able to get out of it. I liked how they analyzed many of the subjects as well.

This article talks about websites like Spokeo that reveal pretty much information of a person's whole life, and it's legal.

America is the land where all your hopes and dreams can come true. Anyone with a drive to learn more should have an equal and fair opportunity to attend college. We could only fantasize about free college education. Student debt is expected to rise from $35,000 to $45,000 in the next generation and will only continue to go up. A college degree is worth so much more than a college degree. A good education is valuable. Although the price may be high, you will be rewarded by help for the future. Joseph, M.

This article, published in 2015, details the issues Phoenix faces with the large amounts of homeless in our state. It highlights some outreach programs we have available that try their best to assist those they can, but shows that there are still so many suffering. This is an issue that touches me because for many months of the year, our weather is unbearable and these folks are forced to endure it if we don't have resources to help them transition to a better life.

Colleges are taking advantage of the fact that more and more students are wanting to attend and get a degree. So many people are willing to pay full price, that soaring prices are the least of their worries. The broadened list of programs, amenities, and higher staff salaries are allowed by this demand and ,therefore, greatly accepted by schools. Clark, K.

Lots of treatment options are available for the ones who are suffering from these disorders. One is psychotherapy by talking to a psychologist, about 50% of these patients are suffering from depression. Another kind of treatment is a cognitive behavioral therapy where you set goals and helps change unhealthy thought patterns. Nutritional counseling is also a treatment by eating healthier to maintain your body healthy. However, some patients need a medically supervised diet to get back to a healthy weight.

Eating disorders are very common in today's society, but there are patients who have faced eating disorders and overcome them. With the treatment of therapy, counseling, and a supervised diet, many people who suffer from eating disorders can learn how to defeat them and avoid the possibility of facing the disorder again.

The scary part of eating disorders is how deadly they can be. The more a person starves themselves, the more muscles are eaten up; including the heart. I think it would interesting to see how eating disorders manifest in different cultures or minority groups. I know that eating disorders for women can be different from that of men and the method of treating that is also interesting.

Over the past 8 years, there have been obvious assaults at United States citizens second amendment right to bear arms. Guns, especially assault rifles, have received an awful lot of scrutiny for people shooting one another, however in reality shootings with assault rifles account for only 2% of homicides in the United States. Meanwhile the rifles themselves are being blamed for the unstable people wielding them. Meanwhile knives account for nearly 14% of homicides, however no one is attempting to ban knives, as it is general knowledge that they are tools, just like guns. But the media is making every attempt to make guns the villains, not the wielders.

This subject has been plaguing our country for years now, and it's proven that most violent crimes don't happen with guns. Especially assault rifles, people aren't just carting around carrying around rifles everywhere committing crimes. They use what's small and readily available. Such as, knives, bats, handguns, or even just using their fist to get what they want.

Arizona's economy took a hit when many illegal immigrants left for Mexico, but benefits also materialized, including jobs and higher wages for some low-skilled workers. The pros and cons of decrease of illegal immigrants working in Arizona.

Immigrants are not getting the justice they deserve due to the lack of legal documentation. US citizens take advantage of immigrants by not paying them for jobs or by stealing the illegal's property and threaten to call immigration if they say anything.

I like the article that you picked, I think immigration is a strong topic to do re-search on. I'm re-searching more for illegal immigration, a lot of people complain about the immigrants but once they leave no one wants to pick up their jobs for as little as the illegals worked for. I've learned that the Arizona economy took a hit for this, but also a lot more jobs became available for citizens.

In 2010, A report by the Treatment Advocacy Center discovered a seventeen percent decrease in the number of available psychiatric beds, and psychiatric facilities. The funding for mental health resources is still continuing to be cut. Back in 1955, there was more funding for the mentally ill, and more housing. Today, we are are given less than half of the funding we were then. We currently have 13 beds for 100,000 people. Where as in 1955 there were 50 beds for 100,000 people. The Mental Health Reform Act of 2016 is bringing the United States one step closer to providing more adequate help for the mentally ill. Such as, more funding for at risk populations.
