The US democratic system is vanishing. Modern news media, coupled with social media, has fostered this. With the democratic process already being egregious and time-consuming, The media has the job of preserving the truth. The media have created narratives to match their crooked agenda. These agendas have exemplified during the 2016 presidential election. Information has faded away from the far-right to the far-left of the political spectrum. Social media's reach of the masses further spread this misinformation based on lack of data. With the press's importance in our democracy, our government should aid in facilitating a bipartisan impartial committee dedicated to preserving data. They will guarantee that all media outlets will engender a perfect
In the 2020 election, I will vote because of this year being my ninth grade year. Currently, the next president is President Elect Trump. When I vote I will have to take in consideration what he has done for our country and what the other candidates have planned.
Let me tell you who does not serve. It does not serve you the American people. A quote from the leader of the free Donald J Trump. But I ask you this mister trump what American people are you referring to? I’ve done a little research and according to my sources in 2016 under the Obama presidency the nation took in 40 000 immigrants from majority Muslim countries. Since then with the inauguration of America’s new leader in January the witch hunt on Muslim immigrants and refugees has been amplified to new extremes. Trump is acting as a modern-day Abigail Williams in this witch hunt against 1.6 Billion of the population.
Imagine being up all night doing homework after homework. Nobody wants to imagine that because not everyone likes doing homework at like 4 a.m. in the morning. Kids are supposed to get around 8-10 hours of sleep. Why would kids be doing your homework instead of sleeping and getting rest at night? This does not bother teens sleeping schedule at all. Teens are usually up at midnight talking to friends and playing on their phones. Middle School and most High Schools start at 8 a.m. but teenagers do not go to bed until 5 and they realize they have school then go to bed.Students are being forced to not have social time because of all the homework they have. Family life is impacted when students receive large amounts of homework to complete
The article “European Populists Who Aped Brexit and Trump Rethink Their Approach” by Stacy Meichtry, Anton Troianovski and Marcus Walker, supports the idea that globalization is an ideology. However, the populist politicians believed this would be a year that they shook up the establishment, instead, their attacks on the European Union brought election losses. This has caused the populist politicians to rethink their positions. Most of Europe’s far-right politicians believe now that their attempt to align themselves with the antiestablishment uprising behind the U.K.’s vote to exit the EU and Trump’s U.S. presidential victory backfired. A far-right National Front parliamentary candidate Hervé de Lépinau, attacked his own party, saying that making a French exit from the euro part of their platform was an absurdity. While the far-right and populist parties is running high, with the economy gaining steam, some voters say it wouldn’t take much for them to switch their support back.
The right to vote, a responsibility given to us citizens of America and Pennsylvania. However, there are monumental numbers that prove that the majority of people fail to take advantage of the opportunity they are blessed with by just being a citizen in America. Educating new voters, increasing the communication of the election times, and making political platforms more accessible are the three main ways in which more people will feel more enticed to vote.
“Since the one-room schoolhouse, teachers, students, and parents have debated over homework,” states Angela Garrett in her article about homework. In pre-k, teachers can send home coloring sheets for kids to do. As a student gets older the amount of homework he or she increases. School is a great place for kids to interact and grow with their peers. Reading, projects, and homework are all key components in school from elementary school age until you get out of college. However I believe students should not be given homework; homework causes stress, time away from family, and plenty of confusion.
Schools are allowed to confiscate phones and search them without a warrant as long as they have reasonable suspicion, but often times, people do not understand what reasonable suspicion is, which leads to phones being searched at unnecessary times, and students’ privacy being invaded. In order for a person to use reasonable suspicion as their reason to search another person’s belongings, they must be able to state specific facts that are significant enough to lead to a search. Rumors or anonymous tips that do not include any detail are not reason enough to conduct a search on a student because they are often false and spread to hurt the individual. Though reasonable doubt has specific guidelines, many people, like professor Amy Vorenberg, do not only have issues with its misuse, but also the legality of it in general. In 2012, Vorenberg wrote an article which argued that warrantless searches of student phones violated students’ privacy and could possibly go against the fourth amendment of the US Constitution. The fourth amendment is, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Some people believe that warrantless searches of students’ phones violate the fourth amendment to the US
In this world there is nothing I hate more than a Liar , any person who can sit in my face and tell a fabricated story and deceives with no problem gets zero respect from me. I never understood the point of lying because once a lie is told people have to keep up with it. In order to tell one lie they have to continue to cover the story so at that point they become a liar unless the person comes clean but after that the trust is gone. There is no reason a person should have to say false things because eventually the truth comes out , leaving them looking very stupid and untrustworthy. If everyone was just honest the world would be a much better place. I rather someone hurt me with the truth than comfort me with a lie. Sometimes the truth might ruin everything but if we as humans didn’t do wrong by everyone in our lives that wouldn’t ever be a problem.
High school are the memorable years before adulthood, they are the years to experiment, stress over nothing, and just in general find yourself. But with each year that passes by you learn new lessons, new morals which helps you get one step closer to finding you. As cliche as that might sound it is our reality.
Have you ever tried to finish something after you’ve been busy all day, you're out of time, and you have no one to help you? Students try to do this far too often. Students are handed mountains of homework that despite their best efforts, they cannot finish. I would know, I am a junior high student after all. Far too many times I’ve seen students struggle to complete homework and their mental health has suffered. It’s obvious students shouldn’t have so much homework. First of all, teachers can’t help student's when they are struggling to complete assignments at home. Secondly, homework puts teens under immense amounts of stress. Lastly, students often don’t possess the time with their busy schedules. Students should have less homework because students won’t have a teacher’s assistance in completing assignments, It stresses students out, and the majority of students don’t have enough time to finish homework and do things important to them.
Student athletes and students in general have been loaded down with homework for the past couple of years. It has caused major stress and drowsiness that leads to failing grades. Because the homework is overwhelming, most students cannot keep up and fall under the heavy load. Many students have tried telling their teachers about their busy schedules, but most say there is no excuse. Although many believe in the importance of homework, too much causes exhaustion, stress, and a decrease in a student athletes performance which can ultimately prevent them from receiving scholarships needed to pursue their career.
Students, parents, teachers, administrators and other interested parties all seem to have strong and different feelings towards homework. Students complain that they have too much homework to complete outside of the hours they already attended classes. Students feel that they have personal lives to live and blow off homework while some parents and teachers believe that homework is the key to passing classes and preparation for college. This leads to teachers feeling pressured to push their students to succeed and this can easily get carried away. Parents and school systems still often discuss the topic of homework today. Should homework in school systems be stopped?
Courage and curiosity often lead a man to success. At age seventeen, a young man was driven by a vision to thrive in a foreign country with little money, a big heart and ambition to become the difference in his family. In Mexican culture, the United States is often idolized and “little Benjy,” was raised believing that he had no other option for survival other than earning dollars instead of pesos. Due to poverty, youth and no high status, Benjamin was not eligible for a VISA in the United States. He sold the only valuable possessions he had to be crossed in the Sonoran desert. Twenty four years later, Benjamin is the owner of a construction company, homeowner of a middle class property, owner of 5 vehicles, and a proud father of five. Despite, his illegal status Benjamin is an honorable worker, he pays his taxes, and is currently in the process of becoming a resident.
Everyday decisions are made by everyone and every intelligent living being. Small or large every person must decide what to do in their own lives and consider how it will affect others. Their comes a time in all of our lives when we will make a decision that will change the course of our lives and possibly the lives of those around you. New York City Thursday, The fifteenth of January. This day a routine flight to intended for Charlotte, North Carolina would soon turn into one of the most significant and popular flights of the 21st century. Less than 3 minutes after leaving the ground and only being 3200 feet above ground level a flock of geese was sucked into the engine of the Airbus (Air Documentaries 6/27/14). Captain Chesley Sullenberger had to make the split second decision to conduct an emergency landing of flight 1549 in the Hudson River without proper training or prior preparation. People have questioned whether or not Captain Sullenberger mad the right decision. I believe that Captain Chesley Sullenberger did in fact make the correct decision to land the 66-ton Airbus in the Hudson River.
