    This article states how women have different problems with gender equality compared to men. It states how women have to be strong and independent among themselves. Getting equal benefits is hard unless having the same opportunities and agreements. Inequality is a strong thing in the workforce and many other areas.

    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.

    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.
  • bri2209985 on 25 Jan 17
     
    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.
  • tcrockett89 on 29 Jan 17
     
    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!

    The key distinction to remember is that a psychiatric service animal is actually trained to perform certain tasks that are directly related to an individual's psychiatric disability. The dog's primary role is not to provide emotional support. It is to assist the owner with the accomplishment of vital tasks they otherwise would not be able to perform independently.

    Many Americans have come to see our individual freedoms as the wellspring from which national freedom is born, and thus individual freedoms are the most important. Without national freedom, there is no individual freedom, and national freedom only lasts as long as we have political freedom. National freedom is the end result of the first two freedoms, because we who value our individual and political freedom will not allow our country to be destroyed by outside forces-or by those Americans who don't believe in the full triad of freedoms.

    Gender equality still remains a big factor in women lives when it comes to career choices. In the article it compares the level of consideration between males and females when they pick their careers. This issue isn't going unnoticed by the press however and top influence's are doing their best to improve women's comfort ability and confidence when it comes to career choices.

    I believe that in general, regardless of gender, a person should pursue and be whatever they want to. Gender roles have substantially changed over the years and continue to do so. Chasing careers and hiring for jobs should focus on the person as an individual, not by their gender.
  • julianaramirez on 02 Sep 19
     
    I hate to admit, being a woman in society is definitely challenging in numerous ways. It's horrible that a person's gender determines if they qualify for the job or not. Although, throughout the years I believe people have improved and for the most part, people have stopped becoming so simple minded. Women are finally given the credit that they deserve.
  • chr2131264 on 02 Sep 19
     
    I think its important that we consider that its Gender Equality and not Female Equality. Both sides of the fence face the same descrimination. I am personally in a position where I am more than qualified to move up, but am noticing that only women are being promoted. There are struggles on both sides.

    In my opinion, paternity leave isn't something that should be issued. They can bond with the child when they get home from their job. Meanwhile, the mother just stays home and takes care of the baby since she'll have to rest and recover those few weeks post giving birth anyways.
  • arm2161207 on 02 Sep 17
     
    I was in agreement until they started throwing in, it makes you a better father and gender equality. I have four kids, no paternity leave, and I bathe them, help with homework, and change diapers. Paternity leave helps progress women? Far reach.
  • des2019432 on 02 Sep 17
     
    Pros and cons to fathers getting maternity leave depending on the family and if its paid too of course. My opinion is if you have other small children who need to be attended to after just giving birth, need assistants due to some complications after giving birth or if a father wants to share 6 wks at home with his new baby then why not give them maternity leave? Then you have independent women who don't need dad at home getting in the way or adding to her list of chores all while caring for a new baby. If my husband was on maternity leave I would have a "honey-do list" for him, diaper changing tasks and cooking meals.

    Arrhenius's theory being proven today is a very scary thing. It's inevitable that we will reach 1.5c tons, but how do we change our ways so drastically to stop is from reaching 2c tons? I propose we become aware of how much we consume and how what we consume is slowly taking its toll on our atmosphere.

    Proponents of GM foods say that the higher yields and improved nutritional content are necessary to ensure adequate food for the world's growing population. Opponents say any claimed benefits of GM foods are unproven, and cite the lack of safety studies and the real and potential dangers to human health and the environment as reasons to ban the products.

    After skimming the article it is safe to say these GMO foods have several negative effects on the human health and environmental health. Environmentalists fear farmers will need to spray crops with pesticides is upsetting. These GMO foods are doing more harm than good and should be banned. The fact stated about independent farmers are at risk of being sued or having to pay a fee for there crops being contaminated is disgusting and seems to be another was for the system to profit more money.

    I enjoyed reading the article and have been somewhat following the issue of GMO's for a couple of years. Anytime a company (Monsanto) owns a majority of a product in a free enterprise society, that is when people should be worried. Not only has Monsanto's product been proven unsafe-the company is forming a monopoly.

    GMO's are absolutely terrible. I'm excited to learn more about them just so that I can watch my health later on in life. I'm currently also doing my research paper on GMO's with food and nutrition. I can't wait to take my Patho class as well just so I can learn exactly how GMO's affect the human body.

    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.

    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.
  • tyl2148960 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

    This article is written by an independent journalist who is clearly biased towards supporting the company Tesla. The author writes a scathing critique of someone who unplugged another person's Tesla out of fear of a battery fire or explosion. While the author does have data to back his claims and his critique seems to be well placed, readers should be wary of his flippant attitude concerning the overcharging of electric vehicles.
  • smurphy6600 on 07 Sep 21
     
    I agree with your observation of the clear bias towards partisanship of Tesla's in the article, given that the website host name is "Teslarati". It seems as though this article is more than anything akin to a click-bait feed as its goal is to incite readers to feel frustration and outrage at whomever put the sign on the tesla pictured, although a few decent points are made throughout the article about the positive aspects of Tesla vehicles its difficult to take it seriously as a source of information with the tone of the article being slightly juvenile and the authors Biography being a testament to his endearment for Elon Musk.
