Consider the Kids The current debate over adoption is a struggle between forces claiming to support what is truly best for children and society as a whole. Advocates claim that homosexual adoption is a wonderful remedy‚ which will elevate the number of foster children in America while creating diversity and combatting homophobia. However‚ I propose that gay adoption is far from a healthy remedy for combatting homophobia or a medicine for the current welfare of the state. Children of homosexual

In 1997‚ 22 states had provisions for transferring juveniles to criminal court which did not specify a minimum age. For those that did not specify a minimum age‚ the most common (16 states) was age 14. Two states‚ Kansas and Vermont‚ set the minimum age as low as 10. In many states‚ once a juvenile is tried and convicted as an adult‚ he/she must be prosecuted in criminal court for any subsequent offenses. In the United States‚ the courts see juvenile as juveniles‚ not adults‚ and they are under the

Everybody has a right to live their life the way that they feel is to their best potential. If a person decides to lose weight by exercise and dieting‚ they should not be compared to someone who makes the choice to put on weight. This comparison can also be made into whether or not someone believes in genetic testing. Presymptomatic or pre-dispositional tests are tests that sequence a genetic code and see if a person is at risk for any diseases. These tests can definitely alter many lives and I am

Euthanasia‚ or assisted suicide‚ is a procedure that allows the patient to die under the conditions that the disease is uncurable and only results in death in a short period of time. So for an example if a person has cancer and their estimate of life is one to three months then they could opt for a mercy killing. However if a person has another terminal disease longer than six months‚ such as AIDS‚ then it would be deemed “moral to let the person live in slow suffering. Euthanasia is controversial

Latino neighborhoods have increased by 232% from 1980 to 2010 (Onesimo Sandoval & Jennings‚ 2012). Residential segregation‚ which I define as the Latino and White spatial segregation by income for this paper‚ is an important concept to consider when creating health policies that are meant to ensure equal health outcomes among society as a whole. Although the World Health Organization defines health to be “a complete state of physical‚ mental‚ and social well-being‚ and not merely the absence of disease

Animal experimentation saves lives and makes vaccines for diseases. But‚ millions of animals die for experimentation and it doesn’t work every time‚ even people die because of false information. Animals are important in their habitats and kingdoms. If people take them‚ then they can’t do their jobs. Animal experimentation is not needed for us because of how many animals die for it and how many false procedures there are that also kill people. Animal bodies are different than human bodies‚ meaning

My sophomore year was the hardest for my friends and me because we were suffering from racial trauma‚ which affects us mentally and emotionally. 2015 seemed to be an apex for black men and women dying at the hands of a police. When we were just starting to grieve over the death of Michael Brown‚ another report came out that a young mentally ill man named Matthew Ajibade was tasered in the groin area while being restrained in a chair by police officers. This inhumane action was a breaking point causing

Last Saturday our country was reminded that we are not as tolerant as we like to believe. We are shocked by the images of white men and women marching with Nazi paraphernalia. We are horrified that someone felt the right to drive his car into a crowd of counter protesters killing Heather Heyer. After last Saturday‚ we can no longer deny the presence American who hold such a deep sense racism they feel justified hurting people who are of a different skin color or disagree with their beliefs.

This week we were able to read two articles that went along with our lecture. The first article‚ "Three Strikes and You’re Out: California’s new mandatory sentencing law on serious crime rates"‚ by Stolzenberg and D’Alessio. This article looked at information gathered from cities where the three strikes law was mandated. The research looked at monthly data and found that the three strikes law had no effect on recidivism or crime rates. Personally‚ though some may agree with the three strikes law
