    Euthanasia mean should a person suffering from an illness be able to decide when they die? The web site demonstrates all the pros and cons to what assisted suicide is.

    I like the view this article has because I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the death penalty. It's probably important to assess all the various sides to such a controversial issue.
  •  
    Wow! This is a topic I didn't even think of researching but is so interesting. You have definitely sparked my interest and I'm beginning to like this assignment more and more! Thank you for thinking outside the box!
  •  
    This article is very interesting! I don't know if i agree or disagree with people who are ill wanting to end their life or not.
  •  
    This website states the opinions of those who support physician assisted suicide as well as those who oppose it. This is a social justice issue because a patient who is very ill and suffering should have the right to physician assisted suicide.
  •  
    This is something only me and my close friends can really talk about! In my opinion i believe yes but maybe rules should be added like approval from the family or a doctors approval.
  •  
    I have also found this topic interesting and very controversial. I have to say I'm on the fence here because as a healthcare worker, I do see some very sad situations within patients and their families. However, if someone is so sick to where they would want to end their life it is hard to say if they're in the right mind to make a decision like that.
  •  
    Physician Assisted suicide should be treated like abortion from my prospective. It should be heavily considered and heavily regulated and substantial counseling should go into leading up to the event itself. One thing to consider if you refuse someone to go out on their own terms, is they may find another way which may not result in a peacful passing for them.
  •  
    I think that this topic of Physician-Assisted Suicide takes the topic of suicide that we find extremely tragic and makes it okay. This idea of allowing people the choice to die with the assistance of a physician is just as tragic as people committing suicide.
  •  
    I like this source because it shows both sides of the issue. Not to mention how much information has. I feel like I could spend all night reading this.
  •  
    I have never really looked into this topic and realized that it is an issue, so I love reading more about it.
  •  
    If someone is very ill and there is nothing that anyone can do to help they should have the right end there own lives. It's horrible having to live long days, suffering and waiting for your life to end.

NEA - It's Time to Push for Free College. Education is Key - 2 views

shared by tif2171863 on 22 Sep 17 - No Cached
  •  
    I think this is a great topic. Since, we are all in college and know first hand the expenses of college. This article argues to push for free college. He talks about a college in Georgia where they have scholarships for free college. I think this is rather interesting!

    This is an interesting thought however, I feel that too easily the system would get bogged down. Also, the money to pay for this free college would have to come from tax-payers. In reality I don't see how it would work. I know in Germany college is free IF a student has a certain score on a standardized test, so that the government sees the student as a worthwhile investment. It sounds harsh, but it works. I think in America too many things would cause that rule to be derailed. Also, Germany has as much smaller and homogeneous population, so that works better.
  •  
    I am a person who is all for free education..in theory. Like Amanda, I do not believe it would be beneficial to provide the United States with free education because we as the tax papers would suffer. However, I do wish the government would make it so that we are not in such crippling debt once our education is over.
  •  
    As much as I would love to see free education, it would not be free because it would come down to the average tax payer to pay for it. I do however wish to see lower interest rates.
  •  
    I wish education could be 100% free. Everyone is always pushing us younger people to pursue a college degree without knowing that college isn't just a sign up and go kind of thing. You have to pay thousands of dollars either out of pocket or by federal funding.

What are some interesting statistics about bullying? - 1 views

  •  
    Bullying can happen in the schools, but it also happens online. A child could be doing homework online ad actually be bullied by social media like Facebook. Bullying is not targeted to a single group of people. At any given time, anyone can be the subject of a bully. Most kids do not report it. It can happen at any age for any reason.
  •  
    I found this thread to be informative. It's sad that I am not surprised by how high the rates of bullying are. It is a truly horrible issue that won't be stopped until parents step in and teach their children how to treat others. I also feel that it's the responsibility of witnesses and school staff to report any bullying and make sure it is resolved, which seems to not happen very often.

    This article tells what the convicted persons goes through. It goes through their life in prison and what happens to them after they get out and how their life is completely changed now.
  •  
    I don't know if you have ever seen the documentary Making a Murdered on Netflix. That is a very interesting case of a wrongful conviction and outcome. There is the case of Adnan Syed from the podcast Serial that I'm interested to see if he was wrongfully convicted of his girlfriends murder. His case is being re opened.

Treating Eating Disorders - Anorexia and Bulimia Treatment - 1 views

  •  
    Lots of treatment options are available for the ones who are suffering from these disorders. One is psychotherapy by talking to a psychologist, about 50% of these patients are suffering from depression. Another kind of treatment is a cognitive behavioral therapy where you set goals and helps change unhealthy thought patterns. Nutritional counseling is also a treatment by eating healthier to maintain your body healthy. However, some patients need a medically supervised diet to get back to a healthy weight.
  •  
    Eating disorders are very common in today's society, but there are patients who have faced eating disorders and overcome them. With the treatment of therapy, counseling, and a supervised diet, many people who suffer from eating disorders can learn how to defeat them and avoid the possibility of facing the disorder again.
  •  
    The scary part of eating disorders is how deadly they can be. The more a person starves themselves, the more muscles are eaten up; including the heart. I think it would interesting to see how eating disorders manifest in different cultures or minority groups. I know that eating disorders for women can be different from that of men and the method of treating that is also interesting.

Public education - 0 views

  •  
    Public education has become a social justice issue and continues to not be funded appropriately. Education has become to be just a profit of money to the governor and legislators. It is not in there best interest to allow everyone to an equal education especially when it impacts the future.
  •  
    I find it sad that the US does not devote more funds towards Education. This is a field that I feel should be most respected and invested in.
