In this article, it talks about the issues of poverty and how many individuals and families are unable to provide or have lack of access to food, shelter, and etc. There is enough resources yet there are so many struggling to obtain there basic needs of these resources.

Children that come from poverty are more likely to be abused due to stress on parents. It is really sad. I am realizing how interconnected social justice issues are.

That is a fascinating writing. There is so much more to poverty than simply a lack of money. It is also sad that no human being should go hungry. It really speaks to a lack of compassion in the world.

This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.

It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

Homelessness is another social issue and its caused by lack of affordable housing and accessible jobs. Once one becomes homeless it is very difficult for them to receive help as the government lacks to have adequate funding, or any funding for that matter, to assist in decreasing the numbers of homelessness. Whether that be through more jobs, less experience/starting experience available, higher minimum wage, and more affordable living situations.

I really liked this article it explains a lot of factors that go into how people can become homeless and sometimes not be able to get out of it. I liked how they analyzed many of the subjects as well.

Even though mental illness is a common problem it's handled very poorly. People with mental illness struggle to get help for a variety of reasons. They lack the money to pay for therapy and the support they need.

Mental health definitely needs funding. A lack of funding will result in higher poverty and an increased suicide rate among the disabled. Not too long ago the mentally ill were put in asylums. Being someone who has Asperger's Syndrome I have experienced shutdowns and anxiety. At my last college I was unofficially withdrawn. When I have anxiety I often cannot leave my bedroom and school has become very difficult.

The main reason many do not seek professional help is not due to money, but the stigma that society places on someone with mental illness. Suffering in silence is a common way to handle the disease. Many also self medicate with alcohol and drugs. There is free help out there, just have to look for it. Catholic Family Services and Christian Church groups are there to those who ask for the help. The first step is to ask.

This article goes over 10 different areas of struggle for public schools in America, ranging from lack of funds, to the amount of absent kids a year, & the lack of safety in schools. It highlights many key area's that teachers are trying to fight for.

I agree with many of the points and believe with the proper changes, and funding we can build a better education system. but also agree with dan that many come to america because we do have a great education system but most of it costs money.

A lack of funds is defiantly a massive problem. If there's going to be a chance to fix these problems anytime soon, that should be a major one.

The lack of student motivation has become a bigger problem during the pandemic. The online courses have affected students as they are unable to get the same face-to-face classes. The curriculum seems harder for students at home to keep up with.

The article explains how out of the 50 states, the two most known states, lack in personal freedoms. The article gives an example about how the NYC mayor tried to ban 16 oz sodas. The article also says that the states with the most personal freedoms are North and South Dakota, Tennessee, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma. Personally, I would think that NYC and California would e considered high up in personal freedoms.

Many nonbinary and genderqueer identities face a difficult time when attempting to transition. While transgender health care framework is available for dealing with such instances, many health professionals simply are not aware or educated on the subject to accommodate to the needs of nonbinary or genderqueer people. The lack of awareness on the subject thus can cause complications or obstacles for people as people can be denied access to these services if the health professional believes that the person is not transgender.

Immigrants are not getting the justice they deserve due to the lack of legal documentation. US citizens take advantage of immigrants by not paying them for jobs or by stealing the illegal's property and threaten to call immigration if they say anything.

I like the article that you picked, I think immigration is a strong topic to do re-search on. I'm re-searching more for illegal immigration, a lot of people complain about the immigrants but once they leave no one wants to pick up their jobs for as little as the illegals worked for. I've learned that the Arizona economy took a hit for this, but also a lot more jobs became available for citizens.
