This article can open up our minds about what goes on with families along the U.S. Mexico border.

Immigration enforcements have separated over 25 percent of families because of their parents not having legal documentation. The immigration reform have a significant impact on thousands of America's most vulnerable children. Children are being placed in the foster care system because of deportation.

This article shows the rising problem of separating families along the U.S. Mexico border. Shows what people think including our current president.

The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

Trump has proposed a policy to stop refugees coming into the country. That has horrible consequences. It says to the world that the US will not help offer help in times of need. It also leads to families being separated as refugees already in the US won't be able to get their families to come over too.

Thank you for sharing this article, I personally and politically believe in helping refugees. One of the great things I have loved about America is how helpful and open the US has previously been in accepting refugees. I'm saddened that this may no longer be the case with the Trump Administrative.

The same proposition was put into place during world war two after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Just out of curiosity, do you believe it was appropriate then?

A clear look into what it takes to be considered a refugee, and educating on what it takes to apply for refugee status. Opens a platform of discussion into refugee reform.

I know we should be helping each other out but accepting a lot of refugees all at a time will cause a lot of potential problems. Not that I do not think humanity plays a big role in this but social and educational issues are what we should be also considering. Can we promise to afford them their living standard? Can we provide each of them with a decent job while the people in the country itself are still unemployed?

I think that is a great question. Studies show that children or youth refugees are woefully unsuccessful unless their parents are gainfully employed, educated, and many other incredulous factors. Allowing refugees into the country is a completely separate topic than building an entire social infrastructure funded by American taxpayer funds. In order for these refugees to be successful the government is spending millions of dollars per family, and tens of millions per family unit after five years of residence. I am of the opinion we need a complete overhaul of the existing system. I can simply not encourage immigrants to come to my homeland when my kinsmen are dying at astonishing rates at the hands of mental disorders, suicide, poverty, and a host of other contributors. We could be investing those funds into saving Americans, not providing for foreigners.

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.

Children with special needs in China are discriminated against while trying to get an education. These children with learning disabilities are not accommodated while trying to join their peers that may not have any disability, in school. Families are forced to send their children away to schools that are separated from the rest of the public.

Eye witness accounts of inside immigration camps. The trauma that mothers and children will have to endure because of the policy enforced by the Trump administration.

Children whose parents are immigrants are under constant stress because of deportation. If parents get deported, children will live with the trauma of being separated. Those children will have to live their lives without their parents, which could lead to many other issues.

A child's weight is their own weight meaning only they can be the ones to properly exercise to have the correct weight. The only way to prevent childhood obesity is based off of the responsibility of the child. The prevention is known to be a struggle especially because exposure to unhealthy foods are everywhere.

The article indicates that the issue with our society and how it relates to childhood obesity is in how we treat the issue, as a separate entity from all other health issues wherein the child and family receive support and resources on how to help prevent and treat their ailment. In America a child faced with Obesity is treated with distain despite the fact that the food and lifestyle pushed at them in every facet of their life is unhealthy and ultimately results in obesity and the article clearly aims to show the reader that the way in which we shift blame should reflect back at societies stigmatization rather than blame the child. How did you conclude that the child is solely responsible for their own obesity from reading the article?
