    This website describes the gaps of income between the different communities. The difference is significant and will continue to grow.

    In today's world there should be no reason for inequality in income. As long as the same effort and quality of work is produced, pay should be the same for all.

    Homelessness is a problem places all over the world face and continue to face as it grows almost every year. There is no single root cause to homelessness, just multiple factors that can lead to one becoming homeless. The article discusses different causes as well as people who would be affected by it.

    Homelessness is sadly a big issue across the world and it's a shame that it has so many causes that affect everyone affected differently. For some, it can even come down to bad luck and that is just crazy to think about.

Gun Violence Increase

    NBC News talks about the increase of gun violence in the U.S that has been growing since April of 2020, and has yet to see a decline. It also dives into discussion on gun control, purchasing of fire arms and even the horrible events that had transpired from gun violence in the U.S.

    It's crazy how gun violence is the biggest issue now. How many feel unsafe from others and the policeman.

    Laws that restrict abortion have the effect and purpose of preventing a woman from exercising any of her human rights. The abortion-rights debate is commonly misunderstood, with advocates on both sides attributing false motives to many good, deeply conscientious people. Denying women access to abortion is a form of gender discrimination.

    I still cannot believe that in Texas its legal now after 6 weeks, I do not think a man should have a opinion on a women's body at all!
  • abicast2346 on 08 Sep 21
     
    I like how this article used their own experience of feeling different towards the argument int the past to help boost their side. But I completely agree that men should not have an opinion on a woman's body, but also if they do have an issue with abortion then they need to take preventing unwanted pregnancies more seriously!
  • azychandler1998 on 09 Sep 21
     
    This is the most common social issue that I see brought up/discussed. The author is this article did a great job including her own personal experiences with abortion laws. Unlike a lot of the articles on the topic, it was not cut and dry full of laws and instead replaced with actual opinions/experiences. I see this topic coming up more especially as Texas recently passed a law that woman would not be able to receive abortions past 6 weeks of fetus age.

    Men are drastically superior to women physically in every way. Adding women to a combat team lowers their combat effectiveness. However, mentally they handle violence much better.

    Information can readily be absorbed when it is relevant to human purpose. The proper focus of authentic education is not ingestion and disgorgement of information like trained seals clapping their flippers on command but a development process that leads to critical thinking and life-long learning skills.

    I agree, many other countries already have free education. I bet the wage gap would definitely benefit from the country having a free education system in the United States.
  • cat6345 on 08 Sep 21
     
    I agree with this I think education should always be free. Everyone should be able to get a decent education even if they are not financially well off.
  • jos2429699 on 08 Sep 21
     
    I feel there would be more to benefit from having a higher population of educated individuals. These people would have more to contribute to society and the economy, so there would be more to gain in the long run.
  • lynnmarie17 on 09 Sep 21
     
    I agree with this education should be free. Lots of people don't go to college for the fact that they cant afford to go. President Biden has canceled student loans which I think was really good of him to do. I know people who are in debt due to this.
  • azychandler1998 on 09 Sep 21
     
    Education overall has so many social issues carved into it, cost being one of the major ones. Even just cutting down the cost would help. but we are one of the most expensive countries to attend college in. Like the article you linked states, student loans and the excessive amount people spend on an education results in them becoming bankrupt before even starting out.

    By 2100, it will once again have taken approximately 100 years for the population to double to a predicted 10.8 billion. While data is collected on population growth, it is difficult for even sustainability professionals to understand what will happen globally when the world's population reaches 10 or 15 billion people.
