  •  
    An article on the status of women in Islam emphasizing different aspects of life and what obligations a Muslim woman has. Obligations toward her husband as a wife obligations toward the society as well as religious obligations.

    I am sorry to say that, this article is full of religious dogma that, in part attempts to justify the historic and continued mistreatment of women.

  •  
    There are so many cases of wrongful convictions. Although you the topic doesn't get a lot of attention. Nice article.
  •  
    Wrongful convictions are so unfortunate and probably grossly under-reported. It is a situation that definitely needs more light shed onto it.
  •  
    Wrongful convictions are never a good thing. So many of them happen all of the time and we are unaware of it. It is definitely something that is preventable but not always completely preventable. There is still always a possibility for it to occur.

Immigration Issues in Arizona - 0 views

  •  
    Immigration is always a sensitive subject especially with Arizona being so close to the boarder. It is interesting to see a minister's perspective on immigration. The author believes that all immigrants are criminals. This shows a representation of many U.S citizens. Its also states that a law needs to be made in order to fix our "broken" immigration status. I do not exactly agree with this article, but it shows the perspective some have on the immigration status. A huge social issue.

Refugees | USCIS - 1 views

  •

    Do you believe that it takes a specific criteria in order to be a refugee? And what are your views on this if a specific criteria isn't met?
  •  
    I know we should be helping each other out but accepting a lot of refugees all at a time will cause a lot of potential problems. Not that I do not think humanity plays a big role in this but social and educational issues are what we should be also considering. Can we promise to afford them their living standard? Can we provide each of them with a decent job while the people in the country itself are still unemployed?
  •  
    I think that is a great question. Studies show that children or youth refugees are woefully unsuccessful unless their parents are gainfully employed, educated, and many other incredulous factors. Allowing refugees into the country is a completely separate topic than building an entire social infrastructure funded by American taxpayer funds. In order for these refugees to be successful the government is spending millions of dollars per family, and tens of millions per family unit after five years of residence. I am of the opinion we need a complete overhaul of the existing system. I can simply not encourage immigrants to come to my homeland when my kinsmen are dying at astonishing rates at the hands of mental disorders, suicide, poverty, and a host of other contributors. We could be investing those funds into saving Americans, not providing for foreigners.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.
  •  
    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.
  •  
    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

Immigration and Covid Vaccines - 3 views

  •  
    This article focuses on the fear between immigrants and receiving covid vaccines. It has been stated by the DHA that immigration officials will not be arresting any immigrant who wishes to receive a vaccine. They believe everyone should receive one regardless of legal status in order to help fight the pandemic.
  •  
    This article provides information on how the pandemic has effected us, humans / people, as a whole. It states that no immigrant will be detained or arrested when getting vaccinated and / or needing emergency assistance. It shows how people and government agencies are working together to fight the pandemic.
  •  
    This article is very heart-warming, as it describes how the authorities will not arrest illegal immigrants at vaccine drives. The authors do raise the question about what happens to illegal immigrants after receiving the vaccine. The U.S. has a history of mishandling Immigration. COVID only complicates the situation.

How Poverty Leads to Social Injustice - 0 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

  •  
    The article is about a highly controversial Arizona immigration bill. It is somewhat disheartening to see the article was written in 2010. 8 years later, there has been no improvement to immigration reform.
  •  
    this article does show us an issues that effected a lot of people. also the article gives good reasoning to why this bill was bad for police since people wouldn't wanna get involve with police good or bad involvement In the fear of getting questioned on their legal statues. this article also hits me in personal way because of where I am from a reservation where you are questioned before you can even enter major cities such as Tucson and casa grande.
  •  
    This article talks about a state legislature that was passed that places the primary responsibility of enforcing immigration law in the hands of Arizona. The article then goes on to explain the issues with this law when it comes to implementing as well as pointing out how it is unconstitutional.
  •  
    It's is very sad and unfortunate in this country that has so many opportunities, legislators cannot come to a fair medium with immigration reform.

    This article explains the hardest decision in Arizona with the immigration law.
