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.

In his January 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama called for a new federal minimum wage of $10.10 an hour. The year before, in the same speech, he proposed a $9 minimum wage. This article addresses the different reasons to increase and the issues with increasing the minimum wage. it discusses how it has changed over the years and states that the original minimum wage was 25 cents an hour back in 1938. There are quite a few interesting stats in this article.

I definitely that Obamas move to raise the minimum wage has caused more problems than it has done good. It's only created a sense of working less, doing less for more pay. People don't want to work hard, get an education, or persue a career goal in order to make money. It's seems more common that people just want what's easy and what gives them the most for their own selfish desires.

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.

Proffesors in 1972 predicted that, freestanding clinics would be unnecessary if hospitals cooperate in handling their share. However due to political pressure, or as we say "bribery," schools are giving up the right to provide or teach abortions, making it less common to provide them.

Social Media Privacy Issues for 2020: Threats & Risks - 3 views

Social media is innately powerful in the hands of people. People with social media accounts get access to information from people around the world. In addition, they often get first-hand accounts of events that others observe and share on their "story." Social media comes with a price. As people get more information from other people, their lives become less private. Leaked information leads to unwanted information attacks that most people decry and blame on social media. I see these platforms as a trade agreement. While you get more information and freedom online, others get more information about you. So the foremost question here is, is the loss of privacy worth the instantaneous flow of information?

Good points. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Most animals have the ability to feel pain. Adolf Hitler stated that prey species such as deer, elk, gazelle, antelopes, etc. are healthier and can run for longer periods of time and promoted healthy eating (though he was a hippocrate and ate meat himself). When people eat meat they get tired easier, need more water, and have less energy. Without a moral foundation one can justify almost anything. Do you think Christian doctrine is to blame? After all, God told Peter to eat meat. Maybe it was the best choice in order to make peace with the gentiles and not eating meet would have made Peter look aloof. Then again, in Genesis it states that God gave mankind plants to eat and not meat. From a convenient point of view is it practical to only buy products that are not made from animals? Even makeup has animal products in it. What about shoes, clothes, purses, etc? Also, if you have time, I would suggest researching Ralph Smart. Have a good day.

The article made some great points. Animals do suffer. They feel pain and fear. Because of this, they definitely should be given rights. Like the article stated, I grew up eating meat, but have made the transition into vegetarianism thanks to my wife who is a vegan. All it took was for me to be educated on where our meat is coming from and the conditions of the animals being slaughtered. If people could read these types of articles and watch documentaries like "Earthlings" and "Cowspiracy" I am sure they might also consider vegetarianism or veganism.

This article talks about the ways minimum wage is nearly the same or less even when raised. It is shown that the cost of living goes up each year. This means that when we get a dollar raise prices inflate making that dollar not any more valuable. one phrase they said that I liked is that the ink doesn't get a chance to dry before it loses value.

This was exactly my thought when minimum wage was raised. What was the point if the cost of living just keeps rising and faster then the minimum wage? Working for $10 an hour after taxes and insurance take home pay won't help if the cost of milk is almost $3 maybe $2 when on sale.

This is an interesting article. While the cost of living goes up all the time, every time minimum wage goes up employers are forced to pay their employees more so they have to charge more for their services which in turn raises the cost of living.

I agree this is a very controversial topic. In my opinion, it's truly hard to pick a side due to the fact that I understand both perspectives. Regardless, it's an issue that I hope gets resolved, eventually.

I don't like the idea that "gun ownership deters crime." Criminals are criminals, because they don't consider the consequences of their actions. They don't evaluate if the person has a weapon, a child, or a dog. Gun ownership from my perspective only increases the likelyhood that one of those weapons is going to fire.

Gun control is a difficult topic to discuss. More gun control laws will not end shootings. On both sides of the spectrum, there are pros and cons to more or less gun control laws.

It bottles my mind of how women are still in equal to men. We are more advanced now than the 1900's. We should be able to treat women the same across all platforms especially healthcare.

There definitely needs to be a change in this, gender inequality shouldn't be an issue anymore. Especially when the majority of nurses are women.

This is so interesting I had no idea about this one reading the article is mind-boggling how can they justify paying someone less solely based on their gender. Amazing read!

It really makes me angry that anyone could think that this is okay. Someone's pay should be dictated by the work they put in instead of their gender or race.

The fact that this sort of inequality still exists just based on sex is crazy! And like your article states, gender is not the only affected area, but black, indigenous and people of color as well. Pay should vary on knowledge and performance, not ones ethnicity.

America's mental health is becoming an epidemic, yet funding for mental health is at an all time low. States are cutting funding for mental healthcare, in order to save money, yet when they do this they do not understand the repercussions. Many of the mentally ill often end up on the streets, jail or dead. When mental health is not treated we end up with many tragic events such as the 2012 Auroa shooting

This article talks about the effects of mental illness on the people suffering with it as well as families. It talks about how budget cuts mean less care for the sick and how that directly leads to more mentally ill people homeless, in jail, and dead. It also talks about how much money untreated mental health costs the US
