    Every year immigration lawyers help thousands of clients begin a new life in America the legal way. Unfortunately there's is 11 million illegal immigrants living in America currently, the effects of having this many is loss of job opportunities for citizens, loss of billions of dollars in tax money, and dealing with crime rate involving illegal immigrants.

    Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.

    This is a really good article because it also talks about how race affects the pay gap. Most articles I find on the topic ignore how non-white women are paid less than white women. The struggle for mothers attempting to reenter the workplace is horrible.

    A reality unfortunately, in our society. It is almost hilarious how you read on all papers when you are hired :"we are an equal opportunity employer, no discrimination of any kind..." and yet the first thing you notice is the pay you get in comparison with a man who is less qualified than you but...he is a man. And, as kat2222004 pointed, very hard for mothers to reenter the work field, the mother is not trusted anymore to be a reliable employee.

    Really good article. I saw this as I was choosing a topic to discuss in our discussion last week. I 100% agree that women should receive the same pay as men. Women are such hard workers whether it is in the work force, or for those who have to maintain a family as well.

    The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE

    I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

    Do you believe men should get paternity leave from work? This site provides both sides to whether fathers should get time off of work to help raise and care for their children or not. Comment below your thoughts!

    I noticed that some of the arguments against men getting paternity leave are that the women do all of the work, so the men do not deserve it. I think this is a foolish argument because it is contradicting. If the mom does all of the hard work, why not give the father paternity leave in order to help her with the baby? The father cannot do anything about the growing baby in her stomach and all of the side effects that come with it, however, he can help feed the baby, change the baby, and put the child to sleep. It is not a vacation, it is time given to spend with their newborn child and assist in one of the most difficult phases of being a parent.

    I fully support this debate. Men should be afforded the right to be a parent just as much as a mother is.
  • emilyward94 on 30 Jan 17
     
    I agree, men should be able to get time off from work so they can also spend time with their new baby!
  • sarahkeeler on 30 Jan 17
     
    I had a conversation with a coworker recently. We didn't understand why men are not offered Paternity leave at several companies including the one I work for. I believe that men need the time to bond with their children just as much as the mother does.

    I would have loved it if my husband could have taken time off from work when my children were born. Things aren't as clearly defined as they used to be. There aren't mens jobs and womens jobs. My husband helped me with all of my children, as well as working a full time job. It's up to each family to decide what works for them. We have stay at home dads now and moms who work and everything in between.

    This is an interesting topic, that I haven't herd before. It should be up to the man. although the women are the ones who are actually pregnant...

    I would have loved if my husband could have had paternity leave from work when I had my children. It also depends on the circumstances in the family household. Can they afford for both to be on leave?

    This website is a debating website that states a question and shows you people's responses from both sides (yes or no.) It doesn't necessarily hold factual information from one person, but can give insightful opinions or facts from a lot of people to help build your own argument.

    This article talks about Arizona cutting off welfare benefits after 12 months of usage. Arizona wants allocate the money into other programs. Welfare is hindering people more than helping.

    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.

    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.

    Economists took different actions after minimum wage went up. Choices were to make employees work harder but cut hours or raise prices of products.

    I did not know how bad climate change was in Arizona, that is so sad to hear. Very eye opening, I'm glad the site discussed the repercussions that could follow. This site does a good job expressing the urgency of the change that needs to happen to fight the detrimental effects of climate change.

    This is unfortunate news for us who live in Arizona. I took a look at the site and read in further detail about how much of these things, that are in our daily lives, taken for granted. Spreading the message about this urgent issue is crucial for any type of substantial change to occur. I appreciate this site providing in depth analysis about the issue at hand. Hopefully more people will take this social issue more serious and help make a positive advancement to the cause.

    The climate costs is already a strain on Arizonans, the heat is very much devastating, and nobody wants to stay outside in the sun for too long. The website expresses the message that there needs to be something done to resist and fight back against climate change.
  • smurphy6600 on 07 Sep 21
     
    The tone of the article is urgent and presents a fear in the reader by the emboldening of death tolls and seems to be biased. It does come from an organization based on environmental change, however the article does not instruct or offer resources to enact change for the better. Was the point of the article to inform readers with the intention of causing fear or was it to get the reader to look further into their organization.

    Laws that restrict abortion have the effect and purpose of preventing a woman from exercising any of her human rights. The abortion-rights debate is commonly misunderstood, with advocates on both sides attributing false motives to many good, deeply conscientious people. Denying women access to abortion is a form of gender discrimination.

    I still cannot believe that in Texas its legal now after 6 weeks, I do not think a man should have a opinion on a women's body at all!
  • abicast2346 on 08 Sep 21
     
    I like how this article used their own experience of feeling different towards the argument int the past to help boost their side. But I completely agree that men should not have an opinion on a woman's body, but also if they do have an issue with abortion then they need to take preventing unwanted pregnancies more seriously!
  • azychandler1998 on 09 Sep 21
     
    This is the most common social issue that I see brought up/discussed. The author is this article did a great job including her own personal experiences with abortion laws. Unlike a lot of the articles on the topic, it was not cut and dry full of laws and instead replaced with actual opinions/experiences. I see this topic coming up more especially as Texas recently passed a law that woman would not be able to receive abortions past 6 weeks of fetus age.
