Although it is nearly 12 years old, very appropriate to today's discussion.

This is mainly about the dream act and what it is. It allows young people, usually recent high school graduates, the opportunity to go to college regardless of their immigration status and even get a job. There are a few requirements in order for these young people to get the help they need though and most quialify.

The whole purpose of this website is to inform people of each requirement that is needed for a young person to receive the benefits of the DREAM act. Some of these requirements include being in the United States for at least 5 years without leaving. This bill does not guarantee them citizenship right away but what it does is it lets them stay in the United States if they agree to either join the U.S military or attend college. Mostly all illegal immigrant students want to do both so it benefits them in many ways, since it is already in their minds.

Technology is advancing faster and faster every minute and privacy is something known of the past now in my opinion. One of my teachers told the class that everything you learn about computers during your freshman and sophomore years of college will most likely be outdated by your junior year - just to help realize how fast technology is actually growing. Anything online can affect you now-a-days it seems. On the news the other day, there was a story about Facebook Friends and your credit. People are actually being denied car loans or things of that sort because of the friends they have on Facebook because if their friends seem unreliable and have bad scores, then the company will assume you do too. It's getting ridiculous to be honest.

These days employers monitor and know everything you are doing. Knowing this, I feel like if you are acting in a way that is respectable both at work and in your personal life, you will have nothing to worry about. I do not see this issue of lack of privacy changing, I see it increasing as time goes on.

ORIGINAL "What the community are concerned about is anti-social behaviour that arises from binge drinking and the abuse of alcohol, and you can't put that down just to people within the ages of 18 and 21. "The responsible use of alcohol is a problem for the whole community, not just one particular age group." Ms Keneally also said a higher drinking age would not necessarily stop 18- to 21-year-olds drinking. "My experience in my university days would suggest that a higher drinking age doesn't necessarily lead to abstinence among 18- and 19-year-olds," she said. PARAPHRASE Ms. Keneally knows from her college experiences that a higher drinking age would not stop younger individuals from drinking.The abuse of alcohol and binge drinking is not just from people in the 18 to 21 year age group, but is a world wide issue ranging through all the age groups. This article is about the premier Kristina Keneally and why she does not mind if the drinking age stays at 18 in Australia.
