This article talks about whether or not terminally ill, suffering people should have the right to choose to end their own life in a painless manner, like we do with animals, or even how we use it with the death penalty in some states. It talks about it as a Global issue. It gives you the history on the issue. It gives you the whole ethical debate on the issue.

The shooting which occurred in December which left 20 children and six educators dead at the hands of a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT has caused the issue of gun control as well as the issue of mental health to be looked at more closely. The President of the United States, Barack Obama chose to issue a proposal for stricter gun control measures, due to this. Walker, as well as several other Republicans agree that the main focus should be on the issue of providing mental health services to those in need prior to violent events taking place.

This issue discussed is what freedoms and how much should be surrendered for safety. Past issue of freedoms being taken in times of wars and other emergency situation. Thought provoking and maybe even a little eye opening.

Gun violence has been a rising issue within the last few years, especially with the number of mass shootings. Most people think that mental health issues are what cause these incidents. But even professionals think that if all mental health problems were solved there would still be issues with gun violence.

This article shows the difference between gun control and gun rights. We have the right to bare arms but some believe that does not mean we have the right to bare military grade weapons. At the end of the page it shows the prior congressional vote. The house did reject gun control but split it into two seperate issues one pertaining more towards juvenile crime.

With more personal information available on the Internet, in everyday consumer applications and stored in corporate databases, risks to consumers and companies will only grow in the next year.

Jonathan S. Tobin is a well know Journalist who has won over 50 journalism awards and has had his articles posted in papers such as the NY Times and USA Today talks about how the governments is slowing taking away our freedom. The fact that the government feels they have the right to to tell us what we can or can not eat is amazing to me. To ban soda just because it is bad for you is unreal. If Americans chose to dink soda then that is their choice and they have to deal with the consequences.

Mayor Bloomberg(New York) banned all sugared soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces, because they are thought to be the main cause of obesity. People are outraged, not because they can't have soft drinks, but because a grown adult should be able to make their own decisions.

New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Although sugared drinks may cause weight gain, we as Americans should have the choice to drink as much as we want.

I agree that it should be an individuals right to choose what they consume or do not consume. There needs to be more education as to how drinking soda in excess effects the body. The child obesity issue is getting out of control as children spend a lot of time using electronic devices rather than going outside to play. I also think that because of fast paced lifestyles and both parents having to work to support the family, children consume more convenience foods/drinks. I think the responsibility is on the individual to make healthy choices not for government to infringe on our personal rights.

"... medical costs of the illnesses caused by drinking, eating and smoking are affected in one way or another by the public and that gives government the right to regulate and/or ban such items." I get why they are doing it, I really do. This is a personal freedom I think we should regulate ourselves. This article does have good points. I get sometimes we do need help, but why not attack the big soda companies as well.

taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

Gay marriage talks about both legal issues and social argument issues. Legal argument grab more attention because they involve civil and equal rights. Gay marriage should respected, no matter if people don't like the fact of gay marriage. People believe that gay marriage is harmful, but there is no prove. There are good reasons to legalized gay marriage because it would benefit us all.

There is obviously more benefits for gay couples to be legally married. I think everyone should be happy and that there should be no law to say otherwise. If gay couples are allowed to get married not nly does it help them but also for the people around them.
