    Violent incidents against a woman in India reminds us that there needs to be a higher system of equality for women in the country. Inequality based on gender is the norm in most countries, and must be considered for reform.

    Article reflecting on the human rights opposition homosexuals are affected by in other countries. May give some help in showing the progressive nature of the Gay rights movement here in America.

    I can not believe that people really place ads on Craigslist pretty much giving away or selling their children like pets. This article shows real ads that were placed to basically get rid of their children just the same as one would sell a dresser. Not only does this actually happen it is LEGAL!

    This insane and wrong! I cannot believe this actually happens. How can you give your child to a random person with out getting a professional background check. This article blows my mind.

    Just reading the title of this article made me cringe however, after reading the details, some of the proponents viewpoints made sense. They pointed out when adoptive parents post ads on Craigslist it is considered networking but when a mother posts her ad looking for these adoptive parents it is viewed as baby selling. My personal opinion is that it is sad; hopefully for our society, this does not become the norm.

    As mentioned by Jacob, ^ the points mentioned in the article do make sense; however, I believe that the issue lies within the fact that people are profiting by giving away a life and that it is a site that can be accessed by anyone with internet access, creating a major safety hazard. It is tragic to see that these things exist and it definitely ought to be addressed and stopped immediately.

    Placing an add for adoption on craigslist sounds extremely unsafe. I really cannot understand how it is legal. I understand making a choice of adoption but craigslist of all places?

    This is just insane. It's unbelievable how something like this can be legal. Kids aren't pets or an object to be selling or giving away in a website. Although, towards the end of the article it does make a valid point, what makes us think that it's right for agencies to profit and make money out of these adoptions?

    I didn't know this was real until I met someone that sold their child to a family in Italy. I can't imagine selling my kids. What is even more sad is that these people don't even know if their baby is really being cared for or placed in sex trafficking or the black market for some sickos.

    It is everyones right to have the opportunity to receive a good education. Education and knowledge are said to be the best quality. With this said it takes a lot of self motivation, but some kids just don't have access to education.

    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.

    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.

    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.

    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation

    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.

    This article talks discusses how we are bombarded with information. People seem to be drawn to articles that cause high emotion and they feel compelled to react. However, we really can't tell what is real anymore. Information changes constantly, and people are becoming indifferent to what they see or hear.

    This article I feel is something that I could relate to. I never know what to believe anymore as information changes all the time. Politics & opinions play a very large role in this.

    This is a great article, As a society a lot of people do not know what or who to believe anymore. I found this very relateable.

    This article really spoke to me, personally I have found that I cant really trust the news or really any source of information as they are both are always going in different directions. Great find!

    This article brings to light a crazy social norm. It is very difficult to truly know what is real without first-hand knowledge. It is very sad that we don't know who or how to trust anymore.
