    The documents were leaked into the hands of reporters and, after a fight in court, were published and released to the American public. The once highly classified information revealed how American presidents did a lot of things against popular advisory of the intelligence agencies, and basically dragged this country through a lot of problems we didn't really need to face

    These days we know that the media and body image are closely related. Particularly, the body image advertising portrays affects our own body image. Of course, there are many other things that influence our body image: parenting, education, intimate relationships, and so on. The popular media does have a big impact, though.

    Many schools have clubs that include many types of students that help them get involved and in a community. These clubs are sometimes led by teachers, fellow students, or parents. Examples of such organizations are FCA, bible study, and so on that are incorporating religion into school. Some say this is against the law, while others say they are merely meeting in the school and not teaching it with the curriculum. Reread old files and cases to determine for yourself where you stand on this popular topic.

    I looked at a similar article when choosing my articles. It is interesting that so many of think prayer is not allowed in schools. So often the media sensationalizes these matters, and we as citizens do not do our due diligence in double checking the facts.

    Bullying exists everywhere! I like this article because it provides ways for an anti-bullying environment. At some point in time everyone has whiteness someone being bullied, has been bullied personally, or has been the bully. Its a tragic subject that can lead individuals to suicidal attempts and depression. How long will it take before people realize this matter is crucial especially in educational environments, social media, and even in politics.

    This is such a common topic and has been for so many years. Bullying has been around for so long and now that social media is extremely popular it seems to make it worse. We have to do all we can to prevent this due to so many students committing suicide because of such extreme bullying.
  • nat2142094 on 30 Jan 17
     
    As a parent of a bullying victim, I feel there is much that can be fixed when dealing with this issue. the only thing you can do as a parent is talk to the administration and after that, your hands are tied. They are the ones that talk to the student and the student's parent. The only notification you get is that they had a meeting. In the meantime, your child is being retaliated against, their self-esteem continues to deteriorate and their schoolwork suffers. I wish there could be a more proactive approach. There came a time that I didn't get any communication until I sent an email to the entire school staff, Principal, and Superintendent.

    Its definitely an issue that far too often is overlooked. I am not a parent, and can only imagine how parents feel when their son or daughter is a victim of bullying. The issue definitely needs to be addressed, no one should have to attend school worried or concerned about how their day is going to go. It is very saddening, and disheartening.

    Before 3-dimensionial printing has had a chance to become a popular household trend, a company named Authentise has already set up a business model to protect other companies from "physical piracy" of their intellectual property. The service will allow users to buy official designs for 3D printing, but will limit the number of copies a user can print before the design is destroyed.

    Back in the day of the "hippie" revolution, the 1960's and early 1970's, there was a popular bumper sticker with the caption "question authority." The hippies successfully, it seems, took their motto and used it for demonstrations of all sorts to overthrow the established philosophy of education.

    Smoking in Public Places - it's about rights too It's popular to ban smoking in public places, but there are a lot of issues about rights that need to be considered. We also need to consider what a "public place" is and whether the government has any business regulating private affairs and personal choices in places owned and managed by private parties.

    This article is about how many people are now vegan or vegetarian. It has become very prevalent in the US. Some do it for health reasons while others are vegan because they do not believe in the harming of animals in any way.
  • bri2233341 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I've noticed over the last few years veganism has become increasingly popular. Many of my friends and family members have either tried veganism, wanted to try veganism, or succeeded in becoming vegans! Some have done it to lead a healthier lifestyle, but most of them started after learning about the treatment of the animals raised to be eaten and milked. I've considered vegetarianism in the past but have yet to maintain the willpower necessary to stop eating meat.
  • coyotesfan1992 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I do support what they are doing but some people would have a hard time converting because all of the stuff they eat is meat. I know that they have synthetic meat but I don't know if they would think its the same. there are some stuff I refuse to eat for this reason which is turkey. It may make Thanksgiving difficult for those people but they can still be thankful for their family and friends.

    I personally do think that social media does play a roll in today's mental health pandemic, whether the impact is big or small. Mental health is something I believe to be very important & I wish everyone took it more seriously.
  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    I agree with Ash. As a race, humans tend to emulate and learn from each other, and has been proven by examining cultures and societies. With social media, anybody can "learn" behaviors, thoughts, or even actions from anybody. With this in mind, what do you think will happen to future generations on social media if they were, for example, consistently exposed (and as a result desensitized) to something like violence?

    This is a great topic and a great find, social media has been directly linked to depression.
  • ayeager7152 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Sadly this world has truly become run by social media and the input of people we have never, and will never, meet. The importance a "like" or "comment" has now definitely leads to declining mental health statuses. Some people are so based on the likes that their entire world would crumble. Companies pay people purely based on their likes and follower count and the power they hold over their viewers.

    Mental health is a really big deal, especially nowadays. Our predecessors commonly pushed down or ignored their mental health issues, but it's even worse for people today due to social media and other platforms. People today are becoming more mindful of social issues such as mental health and I think that's a really big deal.

    Social media has really impacted adolescents and young adults in many ways. Mental health problems have sprung because of social media. Social media has its positives but it has made a lot of people see themselves in a bad light and view themselves as imperfect when in real life they are perfect.

    I would definitely agree with the article as it claims the correlation between time spent on social media and the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I likes how they referenced how abstaining from it can result in higher levels of happiness.

Lifetime carbon emissions of electric vehicles vs gasoline cars - 2 views

    The author details the lifetime carbon footprint of common combustion vehicles and compares them to the carbon footprint of popular electric cars, Teslas. In the analysis, the author reveals how many miles one has to drive in an electric car in order for the electric car to have a smaller carbon footprint than the gas one. His work seems thorough, but he does not list the sources where he got his starting numbers, and he had to have used averages because its hard to quantify the carbon footprint of a single car when they are usually mass produced in groups.
  • smurphy6600 on 07 Sep 21
     
    It seems like the source is more of a data list rather than a traditional article, most likely used for technicians in the industry and offers plain data to compare rather than an explanation of what the data would mean for a consumer. If comparing the carbon footprint of the two vehicles I found it interesting that the article left out the carbon emissions generated by lithium mining that the Tesla batteries are using. Did you feel as though the source was thorough with their sourcing and research or that it was lacking in providing evidence for the data presented?
