    Thanks for sharing this. I was surprised with the percentages among minority groups as well as just the overall percentages especially in Texas. This author is really good because she is direct and to the point and has a very clever way of closing the article as well.

Foster Care Advocates | Foster Coalition - 0 views

  •  
    Many children are in foster care. There is a high volume of children who stay in foster care for a long period of time and sometimes "age out". Aging out is when the minor turns 18years of age and is still in foster care. The social justice issue is that these children have a higer chance of going to orison, human trafficking and pregnancy. We need to do something as a society to help these children achieve something in there life. There are so many children who still get abused in the foster system as well. What needs to be done to prevent this from happening? More home visits to foster homes, better screening, and maybe even just a all around better system.

Hunger crisis deepens in Africa | Africa | DW.COM | 15.03.2016 - 0 views

  •  
    This article focuses on the food shortage in Africa. Unfortunately, this is affecting many, many adults and children in many countries in Africa. The article advises that the main cause of this food shortage seems to be the drought in these countries. Now I think that if the governments of these countries had some help to get it together, this could really help the people. Some of the countries are also raising the prices of their food, making it harder to buy-- worsening the problem.

Should Kids Wear School Uniforms - 2 views

  •  
    This website talks about the different opinions of whether or not kids should wear school uniforms. This article says that school uniforms may help prevent violence and make a better learning environment. The article also gives other possible benefits of wearing school uniforms.

  •  
    This link is not working for me. I wish it did. My kids used to attend a school where uniforms were required. Now they attend a school with no uniform policy. I would be interested to read this article and see another person's perspective and how it compares to my own.
  •  
    I personally have never been a fan of school uniforms for my own children but I can understand how they are warranted in some districts. Some parents may not be able to affront the things other students have making them feel inferior; this allows for everyone to maintain the same sense of self without being picked on.
  •  
    I can see both sides to this issue but honestly I think that children should be able to pick what they want to wear appropriate of course but to be able to have that voice through clothing when they might not have a voice in general can do a lot of a child I think.

Non-GMO Project - 0 views

  •  
    Everything consumers and retailers need to know about the non-GMO project. Standard are used to assist people to better understanding and to affect change with in the agricultural industry. Helps with verification of products.
  •  
    This link doesn't lead to an article. GMOs face a lot of debate but after a lot of testing there has yet to be any solid proof that they cause any harm to the people consuming GMO foods. In fact, all bananas are GMO's. The practice of modifying crops to yield more food has been happening for as long as humans have grown crops. Companys that make the seeds are pretty awful. They treat farmers horribly.

  •  
    The National rifle association fights for the right of American citizen to bare arms. It helps to find policies and legislations as well as news pertaining to the second amendment
  •  
    This doesn't lead to an article. The nra is perfectly fine with guns even if it leads to a large number of mass shootings. It get to the debate of is it a personal freedom to be able to kill another person.
  •  
    I didn't find a specific article on 2nd amendment rights. Just the web page for the largest gun lobby in America.

Supporting Children With Disabilities in the Catholic Schools - 2 views

  •  
    The difficulties of disabled children receiving a Catholic Education.Too often disabled children have to obtain their education in public schools because Catholic schools tell the parents they do not have the resources.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    It's scary to think that so many kids aren't getting the help they need. There needs to be a better system for helping disabled children.
  •  
    Children with disabilities need more attention and effort from teachers than general ed students need and it is sad that they aren't getting it.
  •  
    Currently most schools are starting to intermingle the classrooms and not separating the students. In other words segregate which I believe is a good idea but the teachers must be aware or attentive to all his or her students to be able to teach appropriately.

How states are dealing with older drivers - 2 views

  •  
    The article covers the personal freedom issue of whether or not older people should be allowed to drive. This article introduces different ideas of how different states are dealing with older drivers. Some states are requiring more frequent testing, or some sort of evaluation. 
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    I do feel that states should have people at a certain age be tested more often. I work in Sun City and almost everyday I see an accident or someone driving where they should not be driving.
  •  
    I think that once you get to a certain age that if you still want to drive you should be required to get tested again to be sure that you will be okay out on the road, its nothing against older people driving its more of a safety issue and I see that in this article. More frequent testing is the right move for the states that are starting to require that. Hopefully soon that will show all over America.
  •  
    I think this is a great article. I think for a lot of elderly people the possibility of having their drivers license taken away makes them feel as if they just lost that piece of end independent living. I do agree the elderly should be tested to make sure they aren't at great risks for accidents. This articles speaks about classes older people can take to help them be safer drivers. I this is a great article to share with many people.
  •  
    Long story short. All elders should go through REGULAR testing to continue to drive! These old people are really acting out! This article helps identify lots of points that need to be taken to keep our elders safe!

    It is amazing to see the differences that people can make when donations are made, or even driving homeless people to a shelter to help them get their feet back on the ground.
  •  
    This is a great resource for the homeless. My family and I put on a Christmas party for the needy every year and we always invite the people from the mission. The Mission feeds and supplies a place for them to sleep at night.
  •  
    It's so heartbreaking to know that people have to dig through the trash to just get some "food". I don't think anyone wants to be homeless I think that people get to a low and have a hard time picking themselves up. It's the volunteers and organizations who give a helping hand out to get these people back up.
  •  
    Homelessness is something every state has, weather its minimal or like Arizona ranking the 15th highest in the U.S. This article displays information on the different parts of AZ; Maricopa leading with 61% of the 71% of homeless people. This includes, families, single moms with children, and mainly men. In detail, it also list the main reasons people become homeless.

Drinking and Driving - 3 views

  •  
    Making the right decision some time means safe life's. Drinking and driving is one of the big mistakes that people make during their life's.
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    Drinking and driving is very common in today's society. I like this article because not only does it provide facts about faculties, but also provided a visual emotional touch while reading. People are effected everyday due to someone driving under the influence or while intoxicated. It's good we have things like Uber, taxi's, and buses that help lead away from driving drunk, which in return will lead to safer roads.
  •  
    It's still upsetting to me how much of a problem this is in society. It's not anything new yet it still hasn't been stopped and that needs to change.
  •  
    Drinking and driving is not only wrong, but its completely selfish. You are not only putting your life in danger, but you are also putting others in danger. There are many different routes you can take rather than just getting into your car intoxicated.
  •  
    Ugh, I hate that no matter how many times you can say to someone "please call me and ill pick you up" and they still choose to drive themselves home because they do not want to "bother" you. This is such a big issue in our society that everyone needs to learn to stop doing. I feel that Uber is helping in some way lately though!
