    Following the shooting at a predominately black church in Charleston, South Carolina, the state is considering removing the Confederate flag from its capitol. But how did it get there in the first place? South Carolina's confederate flag hasn't been flying since the Civil War.

    Civic leaders, activists, artists and others are celebrating, marching and paying homage Monday to Martin Luther King Jr., marking the 30th anniversary of the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. In South Carolina, civil rights leaders planned a march to their state capitol as in past years when their rally highlighted calls to remove the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds.

    I'm really glad this symbol is being recognized and taken down in other states, especially those with discriminating acts recently taking place.

    I think this is a great thing. Especially considering all of the racial issues we have been having lately through out the country I think this is a huge step in the right direction.

    Mid 2010, Arizona defined marraige as between a man and a woman. Arizona has a ways to go for equal rights.

An Israeli weekend television program told the story of how Naama had become terrified of walking to her elementary school here after ultra-Orthodox men spit on her, insulted her and called her a prostitute because her modest dress did not adhere exactly to their more rigorous dress code.

    This article talks about how marriage is the foundation of human civilization and the effects of redefining marriage. Forty-one states agree that marriage is between a man and a woman and children need a mother and a father.
  • Jodi Coffman on 31 Aug 13
     
    My personal belief is that marriage is to be between a man and a woman, however, I also believe that is it not my place to judge anyone. Who am I to tell someone who to love? These days marriages that last are rare. If a same sex couple love each other and are happy together, I think they should be able to be married. There are a lot of same sex couple who have lived together as couple for a lot longer than most marriages last.
  • Ana Ortiz Palacios on 31 Aug 13
     
    When I read "The nine justices are considering challenges to state and federal laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The two cases before it provide an important opportunity for Americans to reflect on three questions: What is marriage? Why does it matter for public policy? And what are the consequences of redefining marriage?" it blew my mind a little, because it is challenging every American to think about marriage. Not just as a sex (male or Female) thing but as a whole.

    This is a list of rights and benefits same-sex marriages will received from tax and government benefits to medical and family benefits. At the end it also tells that this benefits are only for same-sex couples that live in certain states and how these do NOT apply to domestic partners or the civil union.

    I found this website very helpful in the breakdown of benefits that same-sex couples are looking to gain through marriage. Which further added to my support of gay marriages.

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  • Brittany Aguirre on 31 Aug 13
     
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  • Donette Fincher on 01 Sep 13
     
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  • alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13
     
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  • JENNIFER MOLINA on 02 Sep 13
     
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  • Destini Boorman on 02 Sep 13
     
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  • Maya Dominguez on 02 Sep 13
     
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  • Latisha Brown on 02 Sep 13
     
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  • Rick Gordon on 02 Sep 13
     
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  • Brandon Charette on 02 Sep 13
     
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.
