    In this essay the author, Becky Birtha discusses the struggles and hard ships that many gay couples face when they try to adopt children. The big question discussed in this essay was, should same-sex couples have the same right as heterosexual couples when it comes to adopting children. Throughout the essay Birtha points out key facts that disrupt the thought that same-sex couple’s children are more likely to turn out homosexual themselves. She dishevels this by pointing out a study done that shows children of a heterosexual couple is more aggressive and negative when compared to those of a homosexual couple. She ends the essay by pointing out that there are roughly 134,000 children in foster-care in the United States waiting to be adopted. On her final note she applauds the AAP for recognizing that children should grow up with parents that can love and care for them regardless of their sexual orientation.…

    Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) might sound a somewhat less-serious problem or perhaps a disorder that resists being categorized. However, both are stereotypes having strong roots in the disorder's history. Originally, the term "borderline" was used to describe a condition that was thought to "border" between neurotic and psychotic disorders. Its unusual and often confusing symptoms, combined with a lack of information at that time, led to an indistinct use of terminology, and consequently, misconceptions in definition. Since the DSM-III, it has been recognized as a unique type of personality disorder, and fairly recently, much concerning its etiology, course, and treatment has been identified.…

    “It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen” (Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics). Although civil disobedience may cause divisive rhetoric and chaos, nonviolent resistance positively impacts a free society by providing an impetus for progress and starting a dialogue about injustice. Our nation was founded on principles of civil disobedience. In Federalist #51, James Madison proclaimed, “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” Instead, it is up to humankind to ensure that our government protects the rights of all people.…

    At first Glance, It may seem that the way Americans view homosexuality is changing and that we have enough resources to assist the population. It may also seem that a parent wouldn’t neglect or abandon their child due to the love that they have toward another person. The truth is that there are not nearly enough changes being made or nearly enough resources to aid the LGBT community and our children. The goal of my research is to bring awareness to this issue so that we provide more resources and are there to support our youth. Gaps in research and solutions are that many shelters and resources discriminate against gays leaving them to fend for themselves. Members of the LGBT community are extremely discriminated against by society, media, certain religious groups/figures and family. Many of these youths are…
