    This article examines the increased security, and subsequent loss of citizens' privacy, that has occurred over the years after 9/11. While many support increased security if it is making our country safer, they also seem to feel that some of these measures are invasive and do not protect us more at all.

    New research show that 37% of employers use a mean of social media to pre-screen there applicants prior to hire. While the use of social media gives insight into a potential hire it has also created a reason to HR professionals not to hire them based on personal information. While positions in political areas try to defend there use of candidates social media log in information people protest this as a invasion of privacy. Not only are candidates outraged but Facebook has also disagreed with the practice ethically and legally.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This article briefly talks about paid maternity leave. The U.S. is the only country that does not have a national paid leave mandate. This article is centered on the way mandated paid maternity leave is handled in other countries in the world. The range is from 2 months to 1.5 years of paid leave.

    Do you agree with not having paid maternity leave? I think it would be nice to be paid while you are away, but at the same time, you're not working so why should you be getting paid while others are working in that meantime?

    Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

    As a mother who breastfed all four of my children where ever they were hungry, I would shame those who thought they could shame me. My children, my whole family in fact all ages whether they breastfed or not have a respect for a womans body especially when it comes to feeding a child. My kids do not stare or point out or act like its gross when they see a mom feeding her baby. People all around the world whether they breastfeed or not need to teach their kids to respect nature. This way in the future mothers will no longer be shamed when trying to feed their babies.

    Its so annoying that people feel like breast feeding a child in public is wrong. This is a natural thing, its a part of life. People just need to grow up and stop seeing it as sexual exposure. Its a beautiful bond between a mother and child.

    Breastfeeding is one of the most amazing things women body can do. Our society make it seen like a sexual act....Breast milk is the first healthy food for babies when they are growing up. In hospital, nurses invite patients to breastfeed their newborn because that is the best food for babies.
  • coyotesfan1992 on 03 Sep 17
     
    It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit.
  • ani2165338 on 03 Sep 17
     
    It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

    I do not know how to feel about this article. They both have great points. I have friends who prostitute. I have seen some get there lives destroyed and some that seem to be fine. I honestly think it should be illegal because of the violence that comes from it. No women should have to face it.
  • dan2205427 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I disagree with the perspective that prostitution should be legalized on a philosophical basis. Dianna in her post made excellent points against the legalization of prostitution so I will not reiterate them. Legalizing something that has been thought of as immoral for millennia I believe would be unwise. I don't think anyone would agree with me if I were to argue for the legalization of murder, so why would we legalize something that is on an equal level of immoral behavior for a majority of people.

    As much as our women's rights laws have changed in the past years,other countries have not come as far. Some countries,however,are moving small strides towards better days for women. Lebanon's parliament has repealed their "rape law" which allows rapists to escape imprisonment if they marry their victim. Passing the law is just the first step though,applying the law is going to take time and effort.
  • jazmar on 04 Sep 17
     
    This article was quite informative and tragic to read, seeing as women are still being treated as less in other countries. While the United States harbors its own cases of gender inequality, women in other countries are faced with injustices they cannot fight on behalf of misogynistic views. While feminism has grown largely within the United States, it seems to lack intersectionalism, which excludes the rights of women in countries ran by a patriarch. I think that this article displays the wrong in the world that can be acknowledged by men women, feminists and non-feminists.
