"During the 1940s, times were very different and women were seen as someone who needs to stay at home or in the kitche. Men, however, were seen as much stronger and more able to fight and protect our country. Today, the likelihood of someone, even a…"

"In any situation like this, murder is the wrong thing to do. He should've just gone to the police or the girl's parents and told them what he had done and he would've been able to move on with his life much earlier. Now that he both kidnapped and…"

"Hats haven't been allowed in school for a long time for different reasons. It's mostly out of respect, but for some people it might be part of their religion or more. I don't think there's a problem with students wearing hats in school, but there's…"

"I think that teachers should be paid much more. Teachers are one of the biggest influences on a student's life and they teach kids everything they know. Teachers not only need the money they make for basic life necessities, but many of them also use…"

"Paper vs. plastic straws has been an argument for as long as the argument of global warming has been around. Although paper straws are better for the environment, I would much rather use a plastic straw. After a while, paper straws get soggy,…"

"Forum posts have many pros and cons. If you don't take the time to do them, it can take a very large toll on your grade. However, in CWI our homework is really just forum posts and maps along with studying. I think that forum posts are a way to find…"

"Considering all of the side affects of this medication, it does not seem very safe for people, especially people with Alzheimers to use. Most medications have many side effects though, so depending on how common they are, maybe it does work. If I…"

"I don't think that crypto will be our future currency, mainly because that is a big change. We have been using paper money and change for a long time and I can see how many people would be against it. However, it would be easier to use and you…"

"I think that MIckey Joseph will get fired. Seeing as he isn't a good person and he has assault charges against him, this could give the team name a bad rep. It'll make the team look bad and the players as well. Change can be both a good and a bad…"

"I think that an exapansion to 12 teams could be good or bad. This would lead to more games and it would give more teams a chance to qualify for the championship. However, with an increase in games it opens the door for more injuries, and the same…"

"As a freshman, I don't really know what the semester schedule was like in previous years. However, from what I've heard it sounds like it's getting worse. I don't have a lot of time to study during the day so longer passing periods would be very…"

"I have a lot of family, so every year I have anywhere from 3-5 thanksgivings. We usually have turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, and pumpkin pie for dessert. It just depends on what family celebration I'm going to. I…"

"I would donate my hair if I was already planning on getting my hiarcut. Iowa isn't close to any oil spills or oceans so I don't think that any local salons would choose to donate the hair they cut unless they had a personal connection to it or state…"

"I think that it's crazy that the world's population has reached such a high number. This can be both a bad and a good thing depending on which perspective you look at it from. There are already so many problems with people without homes, starvation,…"

"If I could choose, I would choose an ice rink. I personally enjoy ice skating, but the only time I've ever gone is when I went to Colorado because there aren't any close enough that I can go to. Harlan doesn't have very many fun things for both kids…"

"I think that it is okay for parents to lie about Santa being real. This gives children a reason to be excited on christmas eve and brings more joy to the holiday. I am most likely going to continue the tradition because it is fun for kids. Using…"

"I think that students should be able to have their phone during class under certain circumstances. It is understandable that teachers don't appreciate when students are on their phones when they are talking so it seems like they aren't paying…"

"I think that black friday is good for small businesses. This often will give them a chance to come up with a sale and the sale will lead to more people wanting to purchase their products. I often shop at big stores on black friday, but when shopping…"

"I do think that men should also get paternity leave. Often first-time fathers don't get to spend time with their new born and they should be able to stay home like woman do. I think that the birth of a child impacts both genders because they both…"

"I personally have many different social media platforms; I have snapchat, tik tok, instagram, facebook, twitter, and probably other apps as well. I believe that social media can be both positive and negative- it encourages people to be creative, but…"

"I think that America should legalize the selling of human organs. Many people with various health issues or people who have organs that are failing wait for years to get a transplant because they're waiting for a donor, and many people don't ever…"

"I 100% believe that male and female athletes should be paid the same amount. They are both doing the same thing: playing a sport. Just because they're different genders doesn't mean the one sport is more "athletic" or "competitive" than the other. I…"

"Many people have to be vegan due to allergies or other health issues. There isn't anything unhealthy about being vegan, you just have another way to get protein and other nutrients into your diet. In addition, some people have problems with the…"

"I think that it would be nice to have shorter school days, but that would lead to various conflicts. Some students who live out of the school district wouldn't be able to get to school if they can't drive. In addition, the school year would be…"

"I agree with the definition of what a sport is for the most part. Most people completely disregard cheerleaders and don't consider it to be a sport, but it involves a lot of work and practice time. We are literally throwing people into the air and…"

"I think that the smoking age should be 21, because although this doesn't prevent all underage people from smoking, it still prevents some. Smoking can be dangerous for your health, and it can become addictive. I think that it should be banned…"

"In my opinion, Christmas is an exciting time of year so I think that "Christmas season" starts on November 1st. We don't decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but only because my dad won't allow it. I think that humanity, including…"

"In my opinion, I could see either side of this argument. Cameras could protect both students and teachers and it would most likely result in better rule-following. This could prevent cheating on tests as well. However, as a student I think that I…"

"I don't think that drinking age should be lowered. Drinking alcohol can become addictive and it isn't safe for highschool students to be drinking everynight or even every weekend. This could also impact the focus of students on school, extra…"

"I don't think that all drugs should be legalized. Marijuana is legal for medical purposes, but others can be dangerous to the human body and can result in death. Drugs are just as addictive, if not more, than alcohol. Even though marijuana is legal,…"

"I agree, most classes that we're required to take won't benefit your future career because it isn't something you'll use. You should be offered more classes based on what you want to do in your future. "

"I understand what you're saying, but many careers won't use science or history for example. It's still nice to have a basic knowledge of certain subjects as an adult, but more subjects should be offered related to what students want to be as an…"

"I agree, if students don't take classes that involve what they want as a future career now, then they won't know what they're getting into during college. This may be one of the causes of college students switching career paths so much. "

"Many students don't enjoy school just because they don't like the classes they're in. If students are interested in their classes their more likely to engage in the material and it will help them through college. "

"I agree, many careers involve and don't involve various subjects and won't be useful to students if they don't follow a career path involving that subject. "

"I agree, students should be able to take more classes that they're interested in so that they actually understand and listen to what they're being taught. "

"I agree, if students are more interested in the classes they take, they're more likely to be engaged and that is also one of the reasons why students don't like school. "

"Our school doesn't offer many classes involving that career, so it would be nice for you or people like you to be able to take more classes involving carpentry. "

"I agree, many careers don't need certain classes. Not everyone is going to follow the same career path so there's no need to take certain classes. "

"I partially agree, students should be able to take more classes that they are interested in and involve their future career. This will help them further engage in school. "

"Exactly, if you already know what you're wanting as your future career you should be able to take more classes based on that. Being a pediatrict nurse doesn't have anything to do with history, but you're still required to take history classes. "

"Students should be able to choose their classes under certain circumstances. They shouldn't be able to until highschool. Many classes we are required to take won't be necessary in the future. "

"I agree, when students take classes that they either aren't interested in or aren't good at, they most likely won't try in the class. This will lead to bad grades and it is one of the main causes of students not enjoying school, other than having to…"

"I completely agree, if students aren't interested in the classes they're taking, they aren't going to try in them so it'll just be a waste of time in the end. This would also make students enjoy the school environment more. "

"I agree, classes should be able to be chosen by students based on their future career path and their personal interests. This would result in better grades and students would also have an easier time in college. "

"I understand what you're saying, however workers are just as important as entrepreneurs, because without them a business wouldn't staying up and running. All in all, students should still be able to choose classes based on what they want as their…"

"I agree with you, many careers don't involve certain classes so there's no reason to study them. Many classes are just taken to get credits to graduate highschool. Classes that involve future life skills should still be required, like personal…"

"I think that if school changed to where students could choose all their classes, they would make it so that you don't have to have certain credits to go to college because that wouldn't make sense. Otherwise, students should still be able to choose…"

"I understand what you're saying, but some people who like math or want to be a mathmatician or an engineer in the future may still take it. I agree with you though, math is something that we will use very often even if it seems like we don't need to…"

"I agree, certain classes won't be needed for some future careers, however it's nice to have that knowledge. We should be offered more classes to choose from so that we are actually interested in what we're learning. "
