Significant Issues In America

When speaking of politicians we have to look at the local and federal officials. We are living in a world today as to where other countries have lost assurance in our federal government. It’s evident that we now live in a world of chaos faced with a lot of different controversial issues. A vast part of this reason is due to decisions made by our politicians. A typical example is the inadequacy of health care this has been a huge controversial topic that affects millions of people. Children and adults lack in health care while many families struggle to earn a living and America’s families are being denied the chance to achieve the American Dream.

Social issues have plagued the women and minorities of our country for decades upon decades, degrading them as if emotions and morals were not evident amongst them. The article entitled "Affirmative Action" states that as representation of minorities and women became more and more necessary, a movement called "affirmative action" became an important issue. Affirmative action is not limited to the uplifting of certain genders and races, but it focuses on establishing standards of certain ethical codes. Affirmative action concentrates on a broad array of issues including equal opportunity, systematic exclusion, and diversity.

Hillary Clinton’s platform includes different issues that the United States has always dealt with. In the article “Combating Terrorism and Keeping the Homeland Safe,” Hillary Clinton focuses on restricting the use of weapons for terrorist in the United States:

As Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help” (Erb, 2011). This quote has recently given many people a negative depiction towards the government, due to election season. Along with this negative depiction towards the government are topics that pose issues to society. The most common talked about topics between Donald Trump (Republican) and Hillary Clinton (Democrat) are often referred to as the “hot button issues.” Some of the discussions this election season have been about social groups and organizations, race and ethnicity, social stratification and the distribution of wealth, and lastly, gender and sexuality.

Today in America there are many huge controversial issues such as gun control, legalization of marijuana, pro life or pro choice and so much more. These arguments are well known and a lot of people make a stance in what they think on the situation. The article in the New York Times, Abortion and Punishment by Katha Pollitt speaks about a comment Donald Trump has made and gives her opinion on the role abortion has in America in the past and present time. Therefore, women do not have many rights when it comes to abortion even though it is legalized but some states may try to shut down clinics. Also, it has always been a risky topic in the United States including many other countries. All in all, Pollitt speaks about views of abortion and

Race is a topic that has been a part of American history since the beginning of the colonized America. This country has always struggled with the idea of people with different ethnicities and what that means for the society in which both live in. These differences have caused a lot of animosity in the country and changes had to be made. The country has changed and adapted to overcome obstacles once ethic discoveries were made. However, the road has been long and hard for many individuals who have faced decimation and persecution. Many key events have taken place in history since 1877 for the African Americans to have the rights they do today but three stand out and those are Plessy v. Ferguson, the Civil Right Act, and the New Jim Crow laws

The biggest struggle in our lives, is life itself. We struggle to survive today, so we can fight tomorrow, and thrive the next day. This is why our lives are so valuable to us, why we cannot throw it away easily, and why we fight to preserve it. If life could just be given and taken away without any consequence and effort, if it were just a mere “cake walk” it would have no value what so ever.

Throughout history there has always been issues among the government and everyday issues of the people of the United States, but nowadays we have many problems among us that we can’t quite make decisions on like many of past problems. Things that we can’t decide if it’s constitutional or not. So throughout this paper were going to decide what is constitutional and what isn’t about major modern day issues such as: school attendance when under the age of 16 and the laws requiring the every American citizen to have health care.

A modern day setback that affects the majority of Americans today is tuition and at the current rate of inflation, it will affect the upcoming generation. Imagine yourself as an 18-year-old high school student thinking about your future and college. In this situation, you are the student who gets excellent grades and works hard but isn’t financially stable. You, like lots of others, have dreamed of pursuing your education at the schools you have been accepted to but, you have come to the conclusion that it’s not possible for you to attend those schools because of your financial situation. Thus, you’re forced to attend a community college or take out loans that will leave you in debt for a sustained amount of time and you’ll stay hoping for

Imagine a country where people all struggling to survive without help from others, while other countries thrive from the efforts and interventions of the struggling country. Now imagine that the struggling country is the United States of America and the thriving countries are places where America has intervened. Although it seems unlikely America is close to suffering. From 2000 to 2015, the United States national debt increased by more than $13 trillion, and in 2015 the national debt reached more than $18 trillion. During the Great Recession from 2007 to 2010, Hispanic and African American families income fell by seventy-five percent in total compared to Caucasian families; which fell by only eleven percent.

Society is a ferocious circle that continues to spin out of control. During one’s existence the speed in which society spins is self-inflicted and continues to surge. No matter where one exists within societies circle, one must realize they influence the vicious tug-of-war between supply and demand cycles. Greedy Americans cause issues for manufactures, big business, and the environment. Manufactures struggle with meeting government demands while maximizing production output. After all, consumer products generate mass revenue for business and the government. Society neglects to consider the environment as long as manufactures continues to provide.
