"I totally agree and you make a great point about the cirriculum being very similar to that of nearly 70 years ago. So much has changed and ou rknowledge has expanded, not only in our scientific knowledge, but also in what ways are most effective in…"
"I think that proper education of American high school students in relation to sex ed is extremely important. While I think it would be best for a parent or guardian to discuss this topic, many will not do so. I think it's important that students…"
"Personally, I think that the border crisis is in a current state of disarray, but this problem has always existed. Even through past presidencies, there has been the issue of illegal immigration, but I think we are slowly working toward a solution.…"
"I think that as a parent, it is important to understand that your kid is going to get hurt, even without toys present. Kids can fall while running and scrape their knee or crash their bicycle and potentially break a bone. I personally think that…"
"I don't think that Colonial paying the 5 milltion dollar ransom was the solution to this issue. It gave the hackers what they wanted, and know they know that this orgnaization can be easily weakened. I think that pursing these hackers would prove to…"
"I think everyone should get the vaccine as soon as it is available to them. Vaccines in general have proven to limit the impacts of certain diseases, and the COVID vaccine appears to be no different. I think that the proposition of a montary…"
"I think that his work has and is continuing to make a huge impact on our society and ways of life. The entire civil rights movement has shaped our current environment, and will continue to impact every person in the United States. Some of the…"
"I think cheerleaders should at least be paid federal minimum hourly wage, if not more. Cheering for them is a fulltime job. They put in 100s of hours of work, and should be compensated for their time. Yes, cheering is a privilege. However, so is…"
"I personally think that MTSS should be removed. I don't think it is necessary, and often end up in some random class just for something to do. I think if a student feels they need help in order to succeed, they should take reponsibility for their…"
"I think this is an intriguing topic, and one I have never considered before. I've only heard that she committed suicide, nothing else. I think there might have been some motive for the Kennedys to do it, but I also think that the science has proven…"
"I think that in our society and the current job market, a college degree is seen as almost essential. I personally don't think it should be necessary to be able to get a high paying job, but as of now, it is. If it is seen as necessary in the job…"
"Realistically, the government implanting a microchip into our system, and using a COVID vaccine to do it, is highly unlikely. This is just another conspiracy designed to put fear into the minds of American citizens. By an means, the government…"
"I want to get vaccinated regardless of if it changes my need to wear a mask. I think it would be an incentive for some, but honestly, the people not wearing the masks in the first place will most likely not want to get vaccinated either.…"
"I think that Israel should not be bombing Hamas. The entire conflict in between the two groups/countries has become extremely violent, particularlly in recent months. I think Gaza city should start defending themselves, but not actively engaging…"
"I think that U.S. troops should have left Afghanistan a long time ago, but eventually deciding to leave, even all these years later, was the right decision. I think that there is potential for Al Qaeda to come back to power, but I also think that…"
"My household recycles nearly everything we throw out. We always make conscious efforts to understand the implications of our actions. Climate change is such a huge issue and being more aware of your personal actions can make a big difference.…"
"I personally don't watch hockey anyway, but I am aware of the often violent fights that break out as a result of the game. Despite the implications of this fighting, I think it should still stay apart of the sport. I think that anyone partaking in…"
"I think those doing the job should definitely have been more qualifed. If there is an extremely dangerous task, those performing it should be fully qualified and aware of its potential implications, especially when working with nuclear energy. I…"
"I think introducing lessons which might not have direct impacts on our lives in the future is important, but focusing on them and assigning a bunch of homework is unnecessary. We do learn some of these concepts which might not have direct impact on…"
"I think there should be some term limits, but terms in general should be longer. Term limits are important to maintain an influx of thoughts and ideas in our government, but if terms are too short, there is not enough time to pass important…"
"Based on the the graphs, year-round school seems like a great idea and one that could potentially improve student learning conditions. However, I'm not sure if it would be as beneficial in practice. There are other countries, like Australia and…"
"I agree with you. No one should be able to tell a woman that she has to conform to unrealistic physical standards created by society. If you want to shave, that is a personal choice, but I think it's sad that women feel that if they don't shave they…"
"I think energy drinks could become an issue in the near future. There are many negative side effects of repeated use, like you said, which include difficulty breathing and headaches. If you drink them often, your body becomes accustomed to it's…"
"I disagree with you. Female athletes within the WNBA are putting in the same amount of time, work, and effort as male athletes within the NBA and they should be payed equally. The only reason that the NBA makes more money than the WNBA is beause…"
"I think its fine if people from out of town came to prom as long as proper precautions were taken, which I don't believe they were. If someone out of town had a Covid test prior to prom or the vaccine and then actually wore their masks the entire…"
"The dress code is unfairly discriminatory towards girls and is completely outdated. Girls should not be held responsible for the inability of boys to pay attention. When a girl gets, dress coded it takes away from their learning as they have to take…"
"Until now, I had never heard of the specific ways that global warming was causing marine species to leave the equator. We all know that climate change has many negative effects on wildlife, but now our negligent actions are forcing marine ecosystems…"
"As soon as vaccines for kids age 12-15 are proven to be safe, I think they should be available to everyone within this age range. I think extensive testing will be done on vaccinations for younger kids, like ages 6 months- 8 years, before they are…"
"I think that for the time being, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine should be temporarily halted. It is showing more negative side effects than either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines. By temporarily halting the use of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, it…"
"I personallly don't know anyone who has habitually smoked and so I haven't seen the negative effects of smoking first hand, but I do know that smoking can cause lots of health complications. I personally like the idea of a public smoking ban, but I…"
"Introducing the use of vaccine passports has many implications. It may encourage some to get the vaccine, but it will most likely just enrage those who don't plan on getting the vaccine. It would help promote health as a priority for many outings. I…"
"I don't think we should celebrate Columbus Day. Like you said, Columbus didn't even discover the Americas. Sure, he may be an 'important' historical figure but falsely so. As a society we have built him into a hero of exploration, but the horrendous…"
"I agree, some of the symptoms and side effects of birth control that women have to deal with on a daily basis are awful. In the studies done on male birth control, the side effects were way less severe than those already experienced by women. "
"I agree, more tests do need to be performed to understand all the effects of male birth control before it becomes widely available. Like you said though, if testing is done it becomes a great option to help prevent unwanted pregnancies. "
"You make a great point about preventing pregnancies seen almost solely as a woman's responsibility. Two people are involved in the potential creation of a pregnancy and so two people should be equally held responsibility for the prevention of a…"
"I agree with you. In addition, having male birth control on the market will help equal responsibilities of those in a relationship. Women won't feel so much stress in relation to birth control and preventing an unwanted pregnancy. "
"As you said, birth control is never 100% effective. This goes for female birth control as well. If both partners in a relationship were taking birth control instead of only one, the chance of having an unwanted pregancy would greatly decrease. "
"Male birth control is just an added layer of protection when it comes to sex. If both partners are taking it, the chance of an accidental pregnancy greatly decreases. All precautions should be taken and responsibility for prevention should be…"
"I agree with you, the side effects that many women have to deal with is awful, and in the studies done on male birth control, there were less side effects and those that did occur were less severe. "
"You make a great point about male birth control helping reduce abortions and relieve some of the pressure currently on adoption centers. If men were taking birth control, the rate of unwanted pregenancies would definitely decrease. "
"I don't think that politicians are necessarily trying to change the second amendment but merely reconsider its intent. I think that the professor was fully within his authority to share his beliefs on gun control and other matters as long as his…"
"While I think that there is potential for Amazon to gain control of many abandoned malls across the United States, I don't think they will ever gain control of all malls. I think there are enough thriving malls across the country that Amazon will…"
"I agree with you. The side effects of birth control for women can, in some cases, be extremely dangerous. If men started taking birth control, there is potential for them to experience side effects. However, based on recent studies, they are less…"
"While I think that Ivy League colleges are overrated, there is something to say about prestige. They are obviously top colleges in the country and will provide a good education, but I don't know if they are the best. There could be other lesser…"
"I don't think that lowering the voting age to 16 is a good idea. At this point in life, many kids are just going to vote based on what their parents or friends do, not based on what they actually believe. Kids haven't have enough time to develop…"
"I agree with you. Since both parents have an equal role to play in potentially creating an unwanted pregnancy, they should both have an equal role in preventing one as well. "
"Like you said, there should be more research into male birth control to make sure it won't have any long-term side effects, but as of now, these trials have completely stopped due to minor discomforts. These trials need to restart so we can have a…"
"Yes, if both partners are taking birth control--male and female-- the effectiveness of the protection increases. This way allows both memebrs of the rellationship to take responsibility. "
"You make a great point about women often being reprimanded for the irresponsibility when it comes to an accidental pregnancy. The man is rarely condemned for his actions."
