I really like the use of "trigger words" in education. I don't think it matters if it is used in college or in K12. The whole point is to alert you to a possible trauma causing conversation or topic that could come up in class that could make someone uncomfortable. Unfortunately there are so many triggers in the world today that you could never call out all of them. The teacher made reference to an apple. Who would think that was a trigger? Not I.

Paris has been through many difficult times and the time to help in never done. Trump has stated multiple times that the time helping is done. The time to help is still now and there needs to be more done.

As the article states, withdrawing from the Paris Accord is a four year process. Hopefully the next election will see a new president and our membership will be re-instated.It was nice to read of coalitions forming to uphold the United State's vowed participation. Unfortunately, it seems that climate change has become "big" business in America and focus has been routed away from scientific facts.

I think welfare is needed and it's important to continue the program. I do however feel that the system needs to change to prevent those that do take advantage, sell their food stamps and cheat the system can't. Unfortunalty this ruins it for those who really need the help and are trying to make ends meet. -
It is important that Americans help out fellow citizens when they are struggling but I do not think that we should allow people to remain on food stamps and government assistance indefinitely. Lets form a plan to help people find and maintain a job that will take care the that person and their family.
