    This Forbes report shows that our Social Security payments are not protected. For years we have been told that our money is safe; now we are told it was never safe and it's not our money.

    This website talks about how censoring our history will give students a false sense of history. It says we won't learn from history if we don't know the accurate version. It also gives examples of teachers going on strike because of this.

    Good read. You definitely cannot censored history, it is something that has to be told in entirety even if it is good, bad, ugly or indifferent. The truth cannot be censored.

    I like this article you chose. No one should have to limit their knowledge to false information. we should be told the truth and we deserve it. it is our history!

    If we do not have a comprehensible history, our future will be uncertain. Truth is everything and without it, we are living in a false representation of understanding. It is definitely something worth fighting for.

    This is a very reliable source for researching the gender pay gap. It's great that it is up to date. That .21 cents matters.

    This is very wrong for companies to do. Character is what determines work ethic not who you are physically. its all about the motivation of an individual.

    An online article explaining the impact on trust in social commentary that 24 hour news agencies and social media has on society. The recent explosion of social media and online presence has skewed public relations to current events, and made it easier to disseminate false narratives as fact in order to sway opinion. Concluded by the idea of the 'echo chamber' being used by current media outlets to segregate in order to polarize communities and create barriers.

However, we really can't tell what is real anymore. Information changes constantly, and people are becoming indifferent to what they see or hear.

    Beyond conspiracy and theories there are facts. Facts like classified documents on Kennedy's assassination. Not to say all the conspiracy theorists are right, but why are there so many documents the government won't release. It's been 50 years since his death and for some reason the president thinks there should still be some secrets

    The IRS and Dept. of Justice are on the hot seat right now for what appears to be their infringement upon many of our constitutional rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion, to name a few. They are involved in congressional hearings, and testifying under oath in an effort to get to the truth.

    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?
  • mat2046668 on 05 Sep 16
     
    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.
  • David Angulo on 05 Sep 16
     
    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.

    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.
  • jef2162142 on 04 Sep 16
     
    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.
  • ste2253805 on 04 Sep 16
     
    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.
  • bri2104912 on 05 Sep 16
     
    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.
  • lyn2166705 on 05 Sep 16
     
    I think that this situation is sort of a "hush hush" situation so I think it is great that people are talking out about it. If more people talk about it, then maybe people that are suffering from situations like this can be open about it and about getting help. I also think that people opening up about it, will open up societies eyes and realize that people are suffering from this mostly because of the pressure people have to look how society wants.
  • jes2173947 on 05 Sep 16
     
    People are so wrapped up on having the perfect body that they fail to realize their hurting themselves. Eating disorders are very tragic, but are also very common these days. We start to think that just because one plan worked for someone else it will work for everyone. The truth is, everyone's body is different and reacts differently too.

    Apparently in Arizona they are trying to ban courses teaching Social Justices. This isn't right. Students have every right to learn whatever they want to learn, and the government shouldn't be a part of what people want to learn about at school. If it's offered they should be able to take it.

    I can't believe. Banning social justice courses is like hiding the ugly truth. We, students, basically have the right to choose what we want to study.
