It has long been believed that animal products are an important element in a healthy diet, but recent discussions have become more common on whether they positively or negatively affect an individual's health.

But being Vegan vastly increases your health, decreases your negative impact on the planet, and saves countless innocent animals from a meaningless death.

Eliminating all animal products from the diet increases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. Micronutrients of special concern for the vegan include vitamins B-12 and D, calcium, fatty acids such as omega 3 which can be obtained from oily fish. Unless vegans regularly consume foods that are fortified with these nutrients, appropriate dietary/vitamin supplements need to be consumed. Iron deficiency which can cause anaemia will also be a concern as they do not consume any red meat to be able to get the iron their body requires.

The Drug War has been a policy and a battle to stop drug flow into the U.S, cease drug production and to completely illuminate drugs entirely but results have shown otherwise. In 1971, President Richard Nixon first declared the Drug war and classified drugs as a number one public enemy shortly after drug use hit its peak in the 1960’s. The U.S previously had anti-drug laws but the laws were light and directed mainly to minorities. The following President Jimmy Carter believed in decriminalizing Marijuana and certain portions of Marijuana were legal to possess during his term but the legalization was shortly lived.

In 2015, over 670,000 children spent time in U.S. foster care ("Children 's Rights"). The current foster care system has been a failing system for many years. Many children are neglected or put into abusive homes. Many foster homes have several children residing in them. Which means many kids have mental illnesses, or get into drugs. These kind of situations do not allow kids to get the proper care they need. While many reforms of the system have been put into play, most have failed to make a change. People across the country should join the Children 's Rights movement to ensure safety for current and future generations.

Abortion is one of the most controversial issues among American Citizens. Many Americans believe that life begins when a child is conceived while others insist that a child is not alive until a few months into the pregnancy.

Cinematic techniques are methods that authors use to convey specific pieces of information in a narrative. Some examples of this would be the angle shots, flashbacks, themes, symbols, etc. In both the movie and the novel of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald portrays multiple instances of these techniques. This not only enhances the effect that it has on the audience, but it also constructs similarities and differences between both the novel and the movie. For instance, in the novel Tom Buchanan is described as a large hulking man. However, by the angle shots and other filming techniques in the movie, he is only viewed and characterized as an average sized man.

Vegetarian diets are considered one of the most healthiest diets. Physicians recommend a vegan diet for better overall health. One of the reasons why is because vegetarians usually live longer than meat-eaters. According to the article, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a vegetarian diet is lower in saturated fats.
