Jindal Challenges Obama's Unlawful Coercion Common Core - 0 views

  •  
    Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal filed a lawsuit in federal court last month against the Obama administration over its use of federal funding and waivers from No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to encourage states to adopt Common Core national standards and tests. Those in opposition to Common Core feel that the standards in place under Common Core could possibly result in standardizing weakness instead of reinforcing standards of excellence. The proof of this concern is found as states compare the effects of Common Core against previous standards of excellence. Those who agree with Governor Jindal's concern argue that Common Core national standards and testing will ultimately support federal control over education - a move that will only further weaken individual responsibility of schools and districts.

Childhood obesity: a societal problem to solve - PubMed - 1 views

  •  
    A child's weight is their own weight meaning only they can be the ones to properly exercise to have the correct weight. The only way to prevent childhood obesity is based off of the responsibility of the child. The prevention is known to be a struggle especially because exposure to unhealthy foods are everywhere.
  •  
    The article indicates that the issue with our society and how it relates to childhood obesity is in how we treat the issue, as a separate entity from all other health issues wherein the child and family receive support and resources on how to help prevent and treat their ailment. In America a child faced with Obesity is treated with distain despite the fact that the food and lifestyle pushed at them in every facet of their life is unhealthy and ultimately results in obesity and the article clearly aims to show the reader that the way in which we shift blame should reflect back at societies stigmatization rather than blame the child. How did you conclude that the child is solely responsible for their own obesity from reading the article?

  •  
    Denmark after one year removed the fat tax and would be phasing out the soft drink tax in one year. The tax was damaging to local economy and didn't deliver any concrete benefits. Again one single food or bev can be held responsible. between 1999-2011 soda decreased by 32% and fat rates still rose.

The politics of welfare - 0 views

  •  
    On the surface, conservatism and Christian democratic thought are quite similar with regard to social welfare, but there is one key difference.  Following the Catholic teachings, Christian Democrats believe that the responsibility of taking care of the poor and needy lies with the community, not the government.  Both groups feel that lawfulness and stability are highly important, but they have very different approaches to achieve these goals.

Healthcare access to everyone? - 1 views

  •  
    Healthcare is an issue that is present today, especially with the election that just occurred. Some believe that everyone should have free access to healthcare and note that if other countries can do it, so can we. The other believe that it is the individuals personal responsibility to figure out how they are going to get it and believe that universal coverage would be too expensive.
  •  
    I agree completely. It is possible and other countries have proven it. It's just a matter of rejecting the lobbyists, insurance companies, and pharmaceuticals that make money off of private citizens. Healthcare should be a basic human right and not something that can cause you to go bankrupt.

  •  
    This article focuses on whether or not a minor should have the ultimate jurisdiction over their own health care. On the one hand, it seems normal to give parents the responsibility of making decisions regarding their child's health care, but on the other hand, minors should have the right to keep certain medical information private.
