Oregon's Law Withstands the Test of Time - 2 views

  •  
    This article talks about Oregon's Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997. It reviews your personal freedom to die at a time & place of your choice if your facing a terminal illness.

    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

School Choice - 0 views

  •  
    This article is based on school choice. To choose a school for your child based on your living location. How empowering the parent to choice would be more beneficial.

    This is an interesting subject. The overall education of the student is most important. But the fact that a student is limited to one school because of their location or parents' financial situation isn't all that fair, so it would be nice for parents to be able to use funding for their student to go to the school of their choice (public or private).
  •  
    I understand why you have to go to school close to where you live especially if you don't have much money. A child needs a reliable eduction and if the parent lives to far and doesn't have much money it will make it hard on the parent and child to go to school. My dad is a High school teacher a Central High school here in Phoenix and has to deal with a lot. He finds that the students who live further away with less money tend to drop out or fail class due to not being able to afford bus passes or gas money. It truly is a sad thing but I believe going to school close to your home is best way to go in the long run.
  •  
    It is very important in the present day for children to get a good education and the child should not have to suffer a poor education because of where they live. If the parents can not afford to live in a neighborhood with the top performance schools they should still be able to send their child to a good school and even if it means the child has to take the bus or car pool.
  •  
    Although many people live in districts that have the funding for an excellent staff that is required to create a good learning environment, there are some parents that do not have that luxury. Being at a good school is what ultimately gets students out of the 'poverty cycle' or not. If a student does live in a bad neighborhood and has the possibility of attending a better neighborhood even if it is a bus ride or drive away it should be up to them ultimately if they want to make that change and commute for the better learning environment.

Should there be a military draft? by John T. Reed - 0 views

  •  
    This is a good article on why America should have a military draft. It talks about how if we had a military draft you wouldn't just see poor people joining to fight wars as a means of income. Everyone would have to fight, rich, or poor. It also reduce the amount of wars if all families rich and poor had the chance of loosing their children. Then we might rethink these wars. It gives a number of other good reasons our country should have a draft too.

The bizarre right to bear arms - 2 views

  •  
    This article is about being against allowing guns - comparing gun to drug laws. It's an opinion piece.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    I think this is a good article. Very contrveral, because many people are for owning guns, and many are against it. But we do have the right to keep and bear arms.
  •  
    When does it become relevant that its not muskets and cannons anymore being used in the debate against the right to bear arms. Although there are tragedies happening everyday there are times when good triumphs over evil in a shootout situation.
  •  
    I think this is a great article and good topic.

    The fight between Personal Freedom and the Common Good has been going on before we can remember. Neither truly works without the other but the fight to find the perfect balance between the two has become more difficult as the years pass by.

Net neutrality: End of the Web as we know it? - USATODAY.com - 2 views

      This is a great explanation of how net neutrality can affect businesses. Good find.
  •  
    This site shows some very good examples of how bad it could be if net neutrality were to not exist. Some good points in the article would be: higher prices on internet and worse customer service to name a few.

5 Reasons the Common Core Is Ruining Childhood - 5 views

  •  
    The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    I don't think the common core is good. Kids at the age of 6 should not be stressed. The programs that have been cut were actually a good way for kids to engage and explore in what they are really interested in for the future time.
  •  
    No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.
  •  
    the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.

Seattle shaming residents for not composting food waste - 0 views

  •  
    The average american family wastes about 1,200 pounds of food annually. Residents who throw away food will have a "scarlet letter" type notice on their trash can. This red sticker will let others know that this person was throwing away good food. This is a good way to try and stop us from throwing away so much good food.

    This is a parenting website that features an article on Dr Sears and what he has to say about extended breastfeeding. It contains good facts about why breastfeeding is good for babies/kids. This would be helpful in an argument as to why we should be allowed to breastfeed in public.

  •  
    Another "Time" breastfeeding in public article, this time about a celebrity, Beyonce.This article also links to many other good articles about data related to breastfeeding, "nurse-ins", and sites like the American Academy of Pediatrics. A lot of this information is good to have to help support arguments for breastfeeding in public.

The Case for Legalized Prostitution - 0 views

    Article seems to be written by a college student who is writing an argumentative paper on legalizing prostitution.  Good article to use for ideas but I would need to do my own research on statistics due to age of article.

Health Care reform - 0 views

  •  
    This article summarizes 10 top facts about Health Care Reform. Insurance companies will regulate more heavily. they will be told the minimum for services that they will cover. Everyone will have health insurance or they must pay a fine. Employers will be mandated to provide insurance to the employees or they will be fined also. Which sounds good to me, my employer thinks he doesnt have to give anything at all.
