Oprah Winfrey's Argument Essay

I would categorize Debra LaFave as a fixated sex offender, with a topology of high fixation/high social competence. Sex offenders who are categorized as fixated will not usually have sex with people within their own age range, appear to be emotionally undeveloped, and are overly interested in interacting with children. They will typically concentrate on young boys that are not part of their family. The offender will spend time creating a relationship with children through grooming and pre-meditation to gain their trust and acceptance. Ms. LaFave falls into the category of approach–explicit because she took the time to groom Billy, planned out the opportunity for them to be together, while trying not to get caught (CSOM, 2016).

Do teachers have a right to free speech in the workplace and can comments on personal beliefs and views be grounds for dismissal? In a fictional situation, teacher Ann Griffin is dismissed from her position as a tenured teacher after a conversation she had involving the Principal and Vice Principal in which she made the comment that she “hated all black folks.” Ann Griffin was teaching at a predominantly African-American school and after this heated conversation, the Principal Fred Watts recommended Griffin’s dismissal based on doubting her ability to treat students fairly and questioning her judgment and competency as a teacher. Was the Principal justified in dismissing Ms. Griffin? Should Ms. Griffin’s speech be protected as a First Amendment right? What precedence can be found both supporting Ms. Griffin’s dismissal and also to support her continued employment?

Reportedly, Melanie Thornburg, a South Carolina Sheriff Captain, is in the hot seat after wearing blackface with a Bob Marley Halloween costume.

Forty-one-year-old Oregon medical marijuana patient Kristie Groce of Portland is no stranger to adversity. Kristie has suffered immeasurably with numerous medical illnesses and injuries over the years. She had even been written off as terminal and placed on hospice care at one point. Despite the mortal diagnosis, Kristie is now thriving in ways she had never dared to dream of due, in her mind, to the healing properties of cannabis. Cannabis has not only given Kristie her life back, but now she has learned she is creating a new life, something she was told would never happen.

Over the last couple of days, I have been to reflect upon all of the monumental and impactful historical figures in American history, specifically those thriving throughout the 1700s and 1900s. After thinking about this for quite some time I believe I would be great friends with the glorious, Sojourner Truth. I am a strong believer in individualism, freedom, and equality; all things that Truth advocated for throughout her speeches and movements. Not only did she lead several women’s rights movements, she also founded various civil rights movements as she is a struggling African-American woman living in the 1800s. I believe we both have dominant strength to rise above our oppositions and make a life that we deserve. I have done this through

The Washington Post reported on Thursday that administration officials had met this week to discuss DACA and that a decision on its future may be imminent depending on congresses decision. "If Trump decides to end the successful DACA program, it would signal that he has decided to follow the advice of the more extremist voices in the White House and appeal to the white supremacists in his base rather than to courageously lead. Congress delivered an ultimatum to Jeff Sessions, demanding that he rescind the 2012 memorandum signed by President Obama that created DACA. They further demanded that he phase out the program by not renewing or issuing any new permits.

Nancy Pelosi could easily become the best thing that happened to the GOP this year. Under her failed leadership, we have managed to gain complete control of the White House, Senate, and the House for the first time since 1928. Not only can we thank Pelosi for this year’s elections, but we can go ahead and thank her for the 2018 elections as well.

In Kentucky, a women named Kim Davis was arrested soon after same-sex marriage license was now legal in all fifty states of the United States.

There were 884 million doctor’s visits in the US alone in 2014, another 125 million counting hospital visits. It is clear that society trusts the doctors and nurses that it employs to uphold high standards to carry on with the task of saving lives. Our society doesn’t blink an eye and puts all its faith into doctors without question. Society assumes that all doctors are good and ignores the potential of an immoral doctor. A study conducted by the NCBI showed that 90% of all medical students have witnessed an unethical medical practice performed by the doctors that society had trusted. This means that if you had any doctor’s visits in the last few years, most likely you were a victim of an unethical practice. This is the situation that Henrietta Lacks faced at John Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s. Rebecca Skloot details the accounts of mistreatment and abuse that followed Henrietta Lacks in her novel The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta Lacks was an African American mother seeking cancer treatment at John Hopkins Hospitals, who ended up to be one of the biggest medical discoveries at the time. Doctors at the hospital discovered the power of her cells and in doing so abused and misuse Henrietta Lacks in the process, which ultimately led to her death. Although Henrietta Lack’s cells proved to beneficial to millions of people, the misconduct performed by the doctors is uncalled for and violates the oath that every doctor had sworn to. There is no

"If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, then he hasn't got a reason to live." These were famous words of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spoken June 23, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan.
