    While Same- sex marriage is now legal, socially, there are still injustices. Everything from being denied service to the side- eyed looks same- sex couples receive on a day- to- day basis proves that while legally things are moving forward, socially, they are not. What will it take to address this social injustice?

    Two weeks ago, the Arizona state legislature introduced HB 2120, a piece of legislation that would ban courses and events on college campuses relating to "social justice." This means that they will prohibit courses, classes, events and activities' in public schools that promote 'social justice toward a race, gender, religion, political affiliation, social class or other class of people

    This article talks about how closely linked poverty and social justice are. Those living in poverty are in their situation because that have not had equal access and opportunity. The best way to alleviate poverty is to focus on providing equal opportunity to everyone.
  • Yesenia Arellano on 03 Sep 21
     
    I agree with statements made in the article about the inequalities that people who live in poverty suffer. Much of this social issue has to do a lot with race and legal status which often times determines eligibility for many programs that should be helping those in need. There is an overwhelming population over looked and discriminated against, adding more fuel to the fire. The number of people affected by poverty is concerning as there should be no reason that they are not receiving the help they need. Very informative article about the subject.
  • desiree_27 on 04 Sep 21
     
    I also agree how there are inequalities for people that are in poverty just because of their race and legal status also how it determines they are eligiliable for healthcare, and etc.

    An online article discussing the negative ramifications to citizen journalism on social networks if net neutrality is repealed. The article lists various racial injustices involving police and black Americans which had no other outlet for public commentary than social networks. The conclusion describes an internet censored and throttled based on biased narrative and the ideologies which ISPs intend to display, removing public outcry and commentary as they see fit.

    This is a very sad topic, i think everyone should be able to get maternity leave no matter the standards because there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a mother and father so happy with their new born baby. I believe that people should have longer maternity leave.
  • tay2171950 on 29 Jan 18
     
    I think everyone should be able to have maternity leave because its important for the mother and father to be with their baby. I think they should also be paid while taking this time off because they still need to be able to support the child and that cant be done if they are not making money.
  • jalisa2018 on 29 Jan 18
     
    With the evidence that researchers have uncovered within their study on new mothers; these findings can be very alarming. Especially, the diagnose of postpartum depression. This is great evidence that can support this continuous debate.
  • sonyacorona on 29 Jan 18
     
    Pregnancy is the most beautiful thing a mother can experience, but at the same the most painful. With maternity leave mothers and fathers can have that time to recover and get back to their daily routines.
  • mig2146362 on 30 Jan 18
     
    My wife gave birth to our daughter back in August, she is a school teacher and it's very heartbreaking to know that current practices in the state of Arizona have defined pregnancy as a "short term disability." True there are aspects that are disabling, but the definition itself is what removes the obligation of the state to pay for leave, instead leaving woman in the education sector to pay for supplemental health care as current healthcare for public workers does not support pregnancy. At least in our case, I'm sure there are very rare exceptions.
  • jaz2153385 on 30 Jan 18
     
    The U.S. needs to recognize that mothers need way more time than they actually get for maternity leave! Giving birth is such a beautiful but extremely painful and tiring/draining thing that women need time to recuperate from.
  • dav2249597 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I believe in maternity leave in just about any work place. The mother gets it rough and the thought of not getting paid maternity leave just stinks. I also believe that husbands should get maternity leave. Like, what if the mother has a higher paid job, and it is the dad that stays home?
  • katelinlea1 on 04 Sep 18
     
    With the USA coming in last in maternity leave rights, Rita Ruben talks about the injustice the work place creates by not giving mothers the time and money they need to welcome their newest member of their families. Some countries even offer paid paternity leave, but in the USA, FMLA only saves your job as a mother. No pay or fathers allowed.

    This article points out the US is the last of the fairly developed countries when it comes to advancement in women's maternity leave. The article talks about studies that have shown how a women's maternity leave can have an impact on her overall health and well-being.
  • cla2175938 on 04 Sep 18
     
    I think the author made a very important comment by saying, "The mother's mental and physical health can be an important route through which infants are affected by parents' employment decisions." I totally agree with this. How can we ignore our health after having a baby. I have 5 children and I was fortunate enough to not have to work. I was able to stay home and heal, and most importantly bond with my baby. I recovered well post child birth, and I was able to be the best mother I could be to my children.
  • alannahmattal on 07 Sep 18
     
    This is a huge social injustice towards the mothers who have just given birth. Making maternity leave as a paid family leave is wrong because the mothers have to later make up all the time they took off to care for their newborn, which can be months.
  • kay2152202 on 01 Sep 19
     
    I think new moms definitely get the shaft when it comes to maternity leave. Just watching people in my life have their kids, and the struggles that can come after besides adjusting to new life I think it is a complete injustice that new moms don't have the option to have more paid time, separate from their regular PTO.
  • julianaramirez on 02 Sep 19
     
    It's truly heartbreaking to think about the struggles that many mothers have to face. They were just introduced to motherhood and already have to worry about not being able to have the time or money that is deserved. Most of all, the time needed to recover post birth.
  • seanburns89 on 02 Sep 19
     
    I think that maternity leave is vitally important for a mother and her child. However, what about fathers the child is just as much theirs yet little to no maternity leave is given. Usually if they take the time off for the birth of the child it comes out of their paid time off if they would like an extended amount of time.
  • dev2154967 on 03 Sep 19
     
    The United States definitely falls behind compared to most modernized countries in-regards to this. The fact that studies show much higher results for emotional bonding between parents, and the retention of employees for the company they're employed for, when giving maternal/paternal leave. I understand the reason why it's difficult for many American businesses to be competitive to some European industries that can have months off at a time for this, but even a couple paid weeks may make all the difference at a minimum for both parents, to adapt, and prepare for their new schedule/lives.
  • smileyamber08 on 03 Sep 19
     
    I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.
  • and2181940 on 03 Sep 19
     
    Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

    So, sad that we live in a world where this happens. We should add to the list of human trafficking the children, new born children that are sold. I applaud the Soroptimist organization for wanting to help and reduce this type of slavery.
