    With all the scientific advances in human genetics, it won't be long until we are capable of manipulating genes purely for modification. This violates the right of identity by never giving the individual a chance to decide if they want to leave their traits to nature instead of science.

    There's a problem arising among the millennial generation, a generation that values art and culture. But it's beginning to take a turn, it doesn't like any form of authoritarian figure, whether it be from the left or right. These are the people who stand up against false grievances and over exaggerated remarks towards race, color, and gender.

    This is completely true, this generation has been so manipulated by the media, which they have depended on so fiercely as of late, that they will listen to anything they hear, and automatically believe they are experts in the field. People need to educate themselves, and grow up, and fast, because a generation of socialist, social justice warriors, that are uneducated, and have a twisted sense of justice have risen.

    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.

    This article states generic information on the different types of abuse then leads into specifics.It displays facts, warnings, and signs of a domestic violence in relations. Becoming to controlling, demanding, and jealous are a few examples they specify. Any type of abuse may not show early on, but become more clear as the relationship progresses.

    I have witnessed domestic violence first hand and the devastation it causes. It isn't always physical abuse either. A lot of times it is verbal and manipulative. It is very sad that insecurities and mental issues have such a devastating effect.

    Domestic violence can be physically, sexually and mentally. Many people now days want to have control of the relationship. When a person is starting to be possessive and controlling is a sign that you are going to be miserable with that person. People are free to do whatever they want to do, think how they want to think. we have to take action. No more domestic violence.

    I would like to see more of a punishment for cases involving abuse. So many cases slip through, or are not made a priority due to it being such a common issue. It is tragic to think someone can get away with victimizing family members, partners, or even strangers. I also believe substance abuse plays a huge role in why people want to have the upper-hand on others.

    This is an issue that should not be happening in the world today. It is important that we focus on controlling situations such as this so they stop being so common.

    People need to be more aware of signs that could possibly be domestic violence. I also think that we should learn more about it as children in school, and even offer ways for young ones to seek help if they're afraid.

    Domestic violence is the violent abuse between intimate partners, heterosexual and homosexual relations. Domestic violence can appear as many forms of abuse: emotional, physical, or sexual. Many of the signs of an abuser is the relationship starts out normal but the longer the relationship continuous the partner became more manipulative and controlling. In some instances, both parties attempt to gain and regain control of the other without knowing.

    In one of the memos Steven Bradbury explores the psychological tool of 'learned helplessness' and how it is employed to condition detainees through techniques such as 'nudity', 'dietary manipulation' and 'sleep deprivation'. This results in a total reliance on their captors for meeting basic human needs. It is not okay to treat humans this way.

    New research conducted by Dr. Dieter Wolke shows the lasting affects of bullying on youth. Researchers found that conflict amongst peers creates stress-related issues such as anxiety and depression. A call to action is asked among communities to find better resources for mental health.

    This kind of article should be spread around to help decrease and get rid of bullies. Many just think that it's only teasing but they don't know that can stay with you forever. This article shows that we do stay with lasting affects when bullied.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!

    This article explains how gender inequality exists throughout the world, generally in a work setting. It discusses how this inequality goes beyond unequal pay, seeing as the stereotypes allowing for the distinction between men and women tie into psychology and basic human thinking. It explains why it is difficult to overcome, seeing as it is virtually impossible to sway and manipulate the way people think.
