I like the view this article has because I don't necessarily agree or disagree with the death penalty. It's probably important to assess all the various sides to such a controversial issue.

Wow! This is a topic I didn't even think of researching but is so interesting. You have definitely sparked my interest and I'm beginning to like this assignment more and more! Thank you for thinking outside the box!

This article is very interesting! I don't know if i agree or disagree with people who are ill wanting to end their life or not.

This website states the opinions of those who support physician assisted suicide as well as those who oppose it. This is a social justice issue because a patient who is very ill and suffering should have the right to physician assisted suicide.

This is something only me and my close friends can really talk about! In my opinion i believe yes but maybe rules should be added like approval from the family or a doctors approval.

I have also found this topic interesting and very controversial. I have to say I'm on the fence here because as a healthcare worker, I do see some very sad situations within patients and their families. However, if someone is so sick to where they would want to end their life it is hard to say if they're in the right mind to make a decision like that.

Physician Assisted suicide should be treated like abortion from my prospective. It should be heavily considered and heavily regulated and substantial counseling should go into leading up to the event itself. One thing to consider if you refuse someone to go out on their own terms, is they may find another way which may not result in a peacful passing for them.

I think that this topic of Physician-Assisted Suicide takes the topic of suicide that we find extremely tragic and makes it okay. This idea of allowing people the choice to die with the assistance of a physician is just as tragic as people committing suicide.

I like this source because it shows both sides of the issue. Not to mention how much information has. I feel like I could spend all night reading this.

Reading this this article i learn that child trafficking and sexual exploitation in the United States have a really high number of victims. This is a very dangerous business how they called it. Thousand of people will continued suffering because of this crime.

This article is so heartbreaking, yet it's so important for the public to be informed on this topic. The fact that most of the child pornography comes from the United States is disgusting and hard to acknowledge, but it's an important fact to understand. So many children are exploited every year, and hopefully, the more people realize this and educate and involve themselves on the subject, the likelihood of children being trafficked and exploited will decrease.

This is a very eye opening article. It is tragic to know the United States is the main consumer of child pornography. How can this be so pervasive in our society? What can be done to stop the trafficking of such lurid content? A top priority for our government should be to eradicate child pornography in the U.S.

This article is very eye opening to me. We often see children in other countries suffering and we want to find a way to help then. Reading this article I discovered that the united states is the number one consumer and producer for child abuse. This article makes me very aware of the negative things americans do that I was blinded to.

Definitely a common thing I've seen in the fitness industry. People can sometimes get so wrapped up in trying to be lean and fit that they go about it in the wrong ways. They literally workout to the point of exhaustion and then barely refuel their bodies with the necessary nutrients. Which causes more harm than good.

Eating disorders are a tragedy, and a sickness. It is definitely evident in this country, more so than where I come form in Canada, as image is more important in America according to studies, appearance can take someone further than education, which is truly sad. Which leads to more people being self conscious, and more eating disorders.

Eating disorders affect a great deal of American teenagers and young adults, and a big reason is because society sets standards as to what a male or female's ideal body should look like. Rather than trying to live up to society's standards, people should try to live up to a standard of health for their own bodies.

This social issue has been around for many years and it is still a huge issue in the world. I like this article due to the fact that it gives you information on the disorders such as treatments, signs and statistics. All people should be educated on the subject.

I have witnessed domestic violence first hand and the devastation it causes. It isn't always physical abuse either. A lot of times it is verbal and manipulative. It is very sad that insecurities and mental issues have such a devastating effect.

Domestic violence can be physically, sexually and mentally. Many people now days want to have control of the relationship. When a person is starting to be possessive and controlling is a sign that you are going to be miserable with that person. People are free to do whatever they want to do, think how they want to think. we have to take action. No more domestic violence.

I would like to see more of a punishment for cases involving abuse. So many cases slip through, or are not made a priority due to it being such a common issue. It is tragic to think someone can get away with victimizing family members, partners, or even strangers. I also believe substance abuse plays a huge role in why people want to have the upper-hand on others.

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.

I just found out that my wife is pregnant a week ago and this is one of my greatest concerns as a soon to be parent. No one should have to go to school and be open to abuse. Great article and I appreciated the ways that it states to make safe environments.

Bullying.....we always hear the word bullying and this is one of the most scary situation in the world. Million of people have killed themselves because of bullying. we have to stop bullying.

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.

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.

This insane and wrong! I cannot believe this actually happens. How can you give your child to a random person with out getting a professional background check. This article blows my mind.

Just reading the title of this article made me cringe however, after reading the details, some of the proponents viewpoints made sense. They pointed out when adoptive parents post ads on Craigslist it is considered networking but when a mother posts her ad looking for these adoptive parents it is viewed as baby selling. My personal opinion is that it is sad; hopefully for our society, this does not become the norm.

As mentioned by Jacob, ^ the points mentioned in the article do make sense; however, I believe that the issue lies within the fact that people are profiting by giving away a life and that it is a site that can be accessed by anyone with internet access, creating a major safety hazard. It is tragic to see that these things exist and it definitely ought to be addressed and stopped immediately.

Placing an add for adoption on craigslist sounds extremely unsafe. I really cannot understand how it is legal. I understand making a choice of adoption but craigslist of all places?
