The Justice System definitely has the potential to be corrupt, or at the very least, can be biased. What happens when the judge hearing a case has a personal bias against an important characteristic of the case?

This article is eye opening, and really speaks to the power which corruption has, or possibly the corruption which power brings. This is just a small instance in cases where abuse of power and nepotism can really dismantle government. I fear our two party system absolutely fosters this type of behavior, and certainly not to make it political in any sense: it is frightening to understand the possibility. Great article.

I definitely agree with this. There is absolutely corrupt justice. Money talks in this world and that is the sad thing.

Outside groups spend millions during an election to influence voters' decisions with dark money. The integrity of our elections and the potential for the mega rich to control what information is publicized can lean the balance of power to a few groups and their intrests.

I remember my government teacher mentioning that's stuff like this goes on, and I think it is very wrong! It's crazy and not right to see how much money is now being spent on presidential campaigns.

Is privacy real? Google records websites visited on computers to pop up ads, that's how they make their money. Privacy is seeming less like a right and more of a goal. With surveillance of the government are infringing more upon citizens privacy. Why should the government be able to view our emails when Hillary Clinton deletes all of hers and is backed by the FBI?

I completely agree. I feel that privacy is a mere illusion in our society. Just because their is no paper trail, does not mean that there is no digital fingerprint. The government has always been a double-standard in how they have the power to make the rules, and yet they break them. People like Hillary just have more connections and the means to get themselves out of trouble.

This was a very interesting article. It does give a lot of truths about how the goverment has gone behind our backs and gone through people's private information at times. It is not fair at all for the government to be doing something like this without reasonable suspicion and a court order.

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.

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.

Celebration for the unpaid interns who now will not only be protected from sexual harassment but will be getting minimum wage. New York University and Columbia University expect there internes to be protected and paid even if they have to make a more stringent approval process or stop undergraduate registration credits.

Should the FCC respect Net Neutrality? This article will give readers an idea of how they can be affected.

My concern over the repeal of net neutrality is the power it gives conglomerates over "use." we have all been subject to EULA contracts from things like computers and even kitchen appliances, and ISPs are no different. Removing net neutrality laws will silence vocal minorities, as well as curb online activism- where movements like the BLM organization were created and continue to flourish.

hello, I also posted an article about net neutrality. It is sad that it was repealed and many corporations could make a lot of money. Net Neutrality is so important, especially in the modern world.
