Some of the pros of legalizing marijuana are that it can be taxed, law enforcement could be doing more productive things with their time and that whether one smokes it should be their own decision. Some of the cons include that marijuana could possibly lead to other drugs and that long term use could be harmful.

Is privacy real? Google records websites visited on computers to pop up ads, that's how they make their money. Privacy is seeming less like a right and more of a goal. With surveillance of the government are infringing more upon citizens privacy. Why should the government be able to view our emails when Hillary Clinton deletes all of hers and is backed by the FBI?

I completely agree. I feel that privacy is a mere illusion in our society. Just because their is no paper trail, does not mean that there is no digital fingerprint. The government has always been a double-standard in how they have the power to make the rules, and yet they break them. People like Hillary just have more connections and the means to get themselves out of trouble.

This was a very interesting article. It does give a lot of truths about how the goverment has gone behind our backs and gone through people's private information at times. It is not fair at all for the government to be doing something like this without reasonable suspicion and a court order.

This article outlines how deceiving, and even ignorant the Black Lives Matter movement really is to claim that police are racist. A Harvard Law professor and his students conducted a experiment compiled of more than 3,000 hours of data, and concluded that in fact there is a race that is more likely to be shot by police, Caucasians, as there will be the least blow-back, or media coverage from the public about racial tensions, and racist police officers. The Black Lives Matter organization as of late is based off of the idea that police are killing in cold blood based off the idea that the victims are black. This idea is ludicrous and has been debunked several times before in the past. However BLM uses deceit and raises lots of money in order to recruit, train, and buy weapons for shooters such as Micah Xavier Johnson did in Dallas. The BLM organization has strong ties, and was founded by the Black Panthers, a known terrorist organization that targets Caucasians and police officers. It deeply saddens me that people can so easily tie themselves to a movement with such rotten foundations, which is deceiving millions of innocent people and taking advantage of them, using them as martyrs.

I have heard many times and experience with my own family that it is hard to find the right school for children of any special needs. Autism in particular is what I often hear about. This website talks about the different schools offered in Arizona for children who need plans that are geared toward them. Meaning a lot of these schools don't teach the same stuff at the same time to all children. They make individual learning plans. This is so each kid can learn at their own pace and succeed. This is a great article for anyone who may need assistance with schooling, doing a report on special needs education or even if you are interested on this subject.

Women in the united states have never been issued on the front lines, however things may change. This article gives a brief but blunt pros and cons list of considerable reasons why women should and shouldn't be allowed to fight on the front line. The fact that struct me the most was the equal opportunities for promotion and how combat experience is a huge influence for promotion.

This website states that those suffering with mental illnesses experience social injustice because of the social stigma that a pill is needed rather than seeking treatment from therapists. When those seeking help from a doctor for anxiety, they will most likely prescribe a drug rather than sending you to get help from a therapist.

This article explains how people with DS are condemned. They are creative, happy people and should be treated as such.

Mental health has a large spectrum of definitions. Down Syndrome is often misunderstood, just like most mental illnesses. April's mother shares how her experience changed her views on Down Syndrome and talks about the injustice of the "Down test."

There has been a huge issue with human trafficking. It is such a horrible and illegal program that is going on today. Something needs to be done about it. No body should ever have to experience this.

I really like how this article talks about the different kinds of human trafficking.

This article brought more awareness to my self and how there are different types of human trafficking. I hope one day we can all put an end to such a horrible thing.

There are many social justice issues when it comes to females being discriminated against solely due to gender. Unfortunately, it seems more common than not for a woman to experience violence. This website points out some of the different gender-based violence taken against females.

Its unfortunate that we still have a problem with gender rights and making awareness of this topic definitely helps fight it!

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

15 true stories of the torment kids went through while they were kidnapped. These are children that were taken and lived to tell the story.

Wow, these stories are so sad. I can not even begin to imagine what it must have been like. It makes me happy that these 15 kids made it through those horrible situations and are able to talk about it today. Although those tough situations make you a stronger person, these kids were able to have families of their own and that is a good thing. It is even more sad to know that there are thousands of other kids out there going through the same thing if not worse at this very instant.

Reading stories like this just make you cringe. It's crazy to think that this is a major issue in our day. It's good to read and see how they live after they go through this traumatic experience.

This article is just upsetting. CPS failed to remove 3 children from their caregivers home after an officer reported concern, several other reports, and signs of neglect. Unfortunately, today only one of the three siblings are alive. CPS should be accountable.

This article is so heartbreaking. CPS should have done something from the beginning when they first started noticing abuse. I have experience with a bad social worker before when I was fostering a child. She was suppose to come every month to check on him but wouldn't show up for months. CPS needs to find a solution to get these social workers to do there jobs to protect these children.

is heartbreaking how a little mistake can change a lot of people's life. In this case 2 children are death. CPS need to have professional workers that know how to identify the emotions of the kids. This case show us how life is unfair with some people and how sad it can be when some people don't do their job right.

This article is about discrimination against mentally ill people in the workplace. It includes negative experiences of those who have mentioned their illness during interviews, and those who are already employed.

I do have a problem with this because I have Asperger Syndrome. I do hear of some getting fired just because of their disability. I would never want to get fired because of a disability. If they did that to me, I'm hiring a lawyer. I'm sure that I'd win the case because they would find it as discrimination.

People with mental illnesses should not be treated differently, they did not ask to be born with an illness it just happens. Humans should be look for more ways to help people then discriminate them. It saddens me that mental illnesses seem to be frowned upon more then saying you have been to jail.

Minorities have a lower approval rating of law enforcement than non-minorities, as minorities feel they are often singled out. The understanding and acceptance of the minority experience is tantamount to improving relations between law enforcement and the public they serve. It is interesting to note that race is only one of several factors to consider in how law enforcement is viewed by a particular community.
