Three of the most pressing issues facing the world today in my opinion are Poverty, Healthcare and Global Warming. Poverty is an important issue to address because poverty provokes crime. For example, most of the drug dealer and abusers are associated in some way with poverty. People who steal property, and end up in prison are also associated with poverty. The poor are easier to get sick due to the unhealthy conditions. The more poor people we have the greater the chances are to start a revolution against the failed government. The poorer people get the higher the crime rates gets and the less educated people are. There should be programs that help people work their way out of poverty rather than just helping them maintain their poor statues.
Healthcare is important because everyone needs it at several points in their lifetime. Healthcare is important to ensure a healthy body, workplace, community and nation. We as individuals benefit from good health. Healthcare can protect us from contagious diseases and the loss of tax revenue from illnesses. Our national security is threatened when our nation suffers from a lack of good health. Without health insurance most of us couldn’t afford medical attention or even the simple checkups we should get at least once a year. The human species would be in danger. There should be a program that helps people that can’t afford healthcare on their own to get it.
Global Warming is an important issue for us to address because it’s hurting our environment. Deforestation leads to the extinction of animals like Orangutans. Pollution leads to a whole in the o-zone layer which then leads to more sun rays coming into earth and warming up the planet. This causes melting ice-caps and rising sea levels which might flood land at some point. There are too many people living on this planet for too many people not to be helping each other take care of our planet. Simple things such as purchasing

    Losing someone close to you can feel like losing a part of yourself. A piece of you goes missing. Imagine living your life with them there and then having them ripped away from you. It really is as horrible as it sounds. In “The Unmothered” Ruth Margalit explains her experience of losing her mother to cancer. She tells about what it’s like on certain days of the year such as, her mother’s birthday, the day her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her parent’s anniversary. She also gives some memories she has of her mother and what her mother taught her. I, like Ruth, also lost my mom to cancer so I was really able to connect with this article. I also dread certain days of the year but unlike the author I see my mother’s death in a very different way.…

This video is rather plot like, very excited, very inspiring, with the setting of citizen, kings and queens and gladiator under the Coliseum of Rome. The three female gladiators were put up to fight each other (Beyoncé, P!nk and Brittney Spear) for the entertainment of the King (Enrique) while he was drinking Pepsi. The crowd-citizen doesn’t seem to like him, as if he is a tyrant, and therefore there were judgment for him everywhere.

    In reading the three articles, “From Degrading to De-Grading” by Alfie Kohn, “And Now He is Nothing” by Michael Specter and “Dilma Rousseff” by Simon Romero my impressions of each article varies from one of unbelief to affirmation. As compelling as the ideology of not grading is, the practicality of implementation would be enormous. The assumption that Lance Armstrong is now nothing can it really be so easily dismissed? Finally, Dilma Rousseff rise to power as a right of previous wrongs remains to be seen; each writer conveying a very persuasive argument.…

    In Foul Shots, Rogelio R. Gomez writes about his Chicano background and the neighborhood he grew up in. Furthermore, he describes himself being stereotyped as one of the “barrio boys” basically meaning that he is considered inferior to the Anglos. In high school, the writer states that he was on a basketball team and that there was one day when his coach announced that his team was to “buddy up” with the opposite team. The opposite team was all White and therefore had a big conflict with the “barrio boys” due to racism. One of the Anglos threw a bag of Fritos to the “barrio boys” as an insult because of the “Frito Bandito” commercial which was, at its time, very popular and involved a stereotyped “Mexican bandit” from the Western movies who would steal Fritos. Gomez states in his essay that this insult still persists in his mind after “more than 20 years” have passed because he still wonders what he should have done in the situation and always comes to a though in where he is crushing “a silly bag of Fritos.” The title seems to go well with the whole theme of this essay and has two meanings on being that since they are on a basketball team and a “foul” in basketball is an illegal move and also using the meaning of the word “foul” as unfair; they are being compared in a sense. The Anglos in the essay are very stereotypical due to the fact that they threw a bag of Fritos at the “barrio boys” and treated them very rudely; they basically thought of them as “inferior” as stated in by the author. Something that can also be said in this situation; however, is that the stereotypical thoughts could be turned towards the Anglos implying that the Mexican-Americans discriminate towards them too. The reason why is because, in the essay, it says that the “barrio boys” tried to act like they were superior because of their “toughness” and how they played basketball much better than the Anglos, beating them at every game. This whole problem could have…

    One day when I was in the fourth grade, we had just finished a free response test on a story we were supposed to read last night. The next day, my teacher had completed grading all the test and he had noticed that two of the papers had were the exact same, their names were Danny and Ishmael. But Danny was absent today so the teacher called Ishmael to the front of the classroom and asked him if he and Danny cheated off of each other's test. Ishmael first lied and said, “I don’t know how we have the same answer it had to by coincidence.” The entire class knew they cheated off of each other but no one uttered a word, we all just watched like we were frozen in time. The teacher just raised his eyebrow and folded his arms, and asked the question…
