Grandparents Rights and Grandparent Visitation Rights - 0 views

  •  
    Grandparents Rights differ from state to state, but it is not uncommon to hear stories of grandparents who do not get so much as visitation with their grandchildren. If parents object to their children having visitation with their grandparents, the court will oblige, treating the grandparents as if they were strangers. It is possible for grandparents to petition the court for custody or visitation, if the courts find it in the best interest of the child.

Profile Of The DREAM Act - 0 views

  •  
    The DREAM Act is a bill that will make it easier for illegal immigrants to attend school and become a citizen in the long run. This Act will only be allowed to those who meet the requirements of it. The president of the United States is for this bill because he believes those illegal immigrants should not be punished for "the actions of their parents" and be denied to further their education. Without this bill, illegal immigrants wanting to go to school, get a decent job or join the military will not be able to.

The Issue is Freedom, Not Soft Drinks - 5 views

  •  
    The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

    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.
  •  
    New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.
  •  
    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.

Job Seekers: Employers Are Watching You on Social Media - WSJ.com - 0 views

  •  
    An article by the Wall Street Journal on how social media can and has effected peoples abilities to get jobs.

  •  
    Social networking sites have definitely begun to play a role in getting a job. I think before you post a picture or statement on your Facebook or Twitter think twice if it will ever effect you in the long run. If its risky it probably something you shouldn't be putting online anyway.
  •  
    People do need to realize that how they portray themselves on social networking sites, portray who they may be as a perspective employee. Companies don't want to take risks of hiring someone that may damage the company's reputation. It's called being responsible.
  •  
    Psychologically it is said that we have many social scripts, in other words we do not act the same exact way around our parents as we do our boss or our friends. Companies that use social media are attempting to view how you live your life outside of work, how you act out that social script. But why should that matter? Regardless if you put pictures of Saturday night drinking it does not mean that this who you are in the office, they are two completely different script and for the general population they are unrelated.
  •  
    I think employers should look at social media networks, people should always present themselves in a professional look, because there behaviors affect the company, on the clock or off

Celebrating the Victories: Deferred Action for Dreamers - 0 views

  •  
    Here's a great article written about the Dream Act, which allows young adults, that are immigrants, a chance to obtain a work authorization in order to stay in the United States. The reason this act was put into place was to speak out for those children who came into our countries with their parents and are considered illegal immigrants. These young adults are now dealing with the hardships of living in the U.S. illegally because they were not given a chance to decide on whether or not they wanted to live in this country.

Minimum Legal Drinking Ages around the World - 0 views

  •  
    Although it is believed that you must be 21 to drink alcohol in the United States, this is not the case. You must be 21 to purchase or be in possession but drinking is a different issue. States can choose whether or not it is allowable for persons under the age of 21 to drink, like in Texas if your parent consents to you drinking and its on your property it is not against the law.
