Food banks do a lot to aid those in need and feed them, but is it enough? Despite feeding millions of bellies in the past 2 decades but that has does nothing to move the percentage of the population that remains hungry

I really liked this article food banks were a big thing for me growing up and they are not as great as many people think they are! I loved this read!

Thank you for sharing this article. I have always felt that it was important to know how your money is going to be used by charity organizations, and this article highlights the reasons why I feel this way.

The education system suffers from many social issues, but the one that stands out to me most is that real life experiences/lessons aren't taught in the standard educational system. Children/young adults are not taught enough about the world around them thus not preparing them for life outside of school.

I completely agree with this I feel like we are not taught too many real-life situations school is supposed to prepare us for the future and how can we do that if we don't know many basic life skills great article!

Homelessness is another social issue and its caused by lack of affordable housing and accessible jobs. Once one becomes homeless it is very difficult for them to receive help as the government lacks to have adequate funding, or any funding for that matter, to assist in decreasing the numbers of homelessness. Whether that be through more jobs, less experience/starting experience available, higher minimum wage, and more affordable living situations.

I really liked this article it explains a lot of factors that go into how people can become homeless and sometimes not be able to get out of it. I liked how they analyzed many of the subjects as well.

Obesity and unhealthy habits are a huge social issue in the world today, especially in The United States. Obesity is one of the highest causes of deaths in that U.S right along side tobacco use. A time passes on even more GMO and artificial food with be introduced into the world only making it worse.

This sort of problem is only made worse when unhealthy foods are more accessible to the poor than the healthy alternatives. This is done simply because it is more profitable to make things like fast food easier to repeatedly buy.

Age is a huge factor when it comes to getting a job in the United States. Although there are laws in place to prevent it, age discrimination still occurs and is a known issue. Those over 50 years old struggle to find a job that would accept them into the workforce as they are seen 'unworkable'. Its studied that those who stay busier at that age have better and improved health and with those that do not develop disabilities earlier on.

One of the major social issues in our world, and especially in The United States, is accessible and affordable healthcare. Americans are not able to afford healthcare, and those that manage to pay for it state that more things need to be included.

I think that is an important and relevant topic in America many of its own citizens can't afford basic care and health needs. It is something that we need to look more diligently on. America can not progress when its citizens are suffering. Great Article!

It's sad that people can't afford healthcare it should be more accessible to everyone. If everyone could afford healthcare then we wouldn't have so many deaths.

Age discrimination in the workplace is a real issue that needsto be addressed. Just because someone is older doesn't mean they work just as good as someone younger.

Child obesity is a serious issue that I believe isn't being addressed. Obesity is lower in high income houses but in lower income houses it increases. Obesity affects 1 in 5 children.

Lots of people are suffering from a lack of health insurance. Hard to find good doctors that are able to help your needs. Health insurance is exspenisve and people cant afford it.

Many people have become homeless due to the pandemic. Landlords are raising the rent in this time of crisis and people aren't able to afford to live anymore. Unemployment rates have also gone through the roof

This was a good, but very sad read. I cant imagine having to be evicted out of my home due to being out of work for something like the pandemic. Something completely out of your control. I know that Arizona temporarily put a notice during the lockdown that those who couldn't pay rent were not allowed to be evicted (I was one of them) but it didn't last long enough. Like the article states, COVID19 has long term affects not short ones meaning more time to recover from its effects are needed.

The pandemic is affecting school children. There are not doing that well in school because they have been on lockdown for to long. There forgetting how to be social.

The pandemic has effected so many lives, especially students. This is one of the most principle periods in their lives and where development can be most important. Throwing the stress of online schooling and removing them from in-person interactions is deeply affecting them in more ways people seem to realize.

Joy Harjo is a Native American poet whose work is highly motivated by respect for the world around her, and the desire for her people to receive that respect as well. She grew up during the Civil Rights Movement and was even an activist as a student.

Texas has put an abortion law that prevents women from getting an abortion after approximately six weeks of pregnancy. This has led to people flooding their websites with false reports to deter their efforts in enforcing this law.

I don't understand why they wanna regulate what we do with our bodies. Some people can't afford kids or are just not ready for kids and I don't think we should be ridiculed for that decision . I hope they overturn that law.

There has been a rise in large communities of homeless people living in tents in various big cities across the United States. Many of them are living in tents instead of shelters to avoid getting COVID-19. The CDC even wants these communities to be left alone to prevent the aforementioned problem.

It's sad to see so many homeless people especially when it's due to the pandemic. Its crazy how people would rather live in a tent than be in shelters. The shelters arent doing all they can to make sure these people feel safe so I see why they would rather not be in the shelters.

The Rainbow Railroad in Toronto, Canada has received hundreds of requests for help from LGBTQ+ people in Afghanistan after the Taliban took over. Afghanistan was already a dangerous place to live for LGBTQ+ people, but it has gotten even worse since their lives are now being threatened.

The Census Bureau did a Household pulse survey to see how people were doing financially in their households, and it found that LGBTQ+ people were struggling more than LGBTQ+ people were. The Human Rights Campaign stated that these were problems that already existed, but it was made worse by the COVID-19 outbreak.

This website is showing the affects the world is facing right now from the ice caps melting.
