High School Strike Research Paper
It's been an interesting school year to say the least. Sadly, all I've heard about for the last few weeks , has been relevant to the strike that took place. I have mixed feelings on the strike, but I'm glad it is a issue of the past now. I'm looking forward to being able to focus on what's important, my education. I honestly don't know what to expect moving forward in this English class, and our final major project revolves around an infograph, relating to the subject of abortion.
I'm not going to lie, having discussions in English about the strike has led to unfortunate frustration from me. I condone the discussion, because it was often times vital conversation to have. It wouldn't of had to be necessary if negotiations would of worked out …show more content…
in the first place. I'm mad because I paid money to learn, and to gain credits towards my major, not to talk about a strike which would of been potentially detrimental to the education I paid for. Regardless, that problem is now in the past, and it shouldn't have to be relevant anymore fortunately.
The strike honestly has been the last thought on my mind over the last few weeks.
There were fourteen universities with thousands of kids partying, so I knew from the start the issues would be fixed. It also offered six days of no class for me, so I'm honestly glad it happened. Now that the problem is resolved, all of us students, and professors can focus on what is relevant. The education we're receiving which will shape the future of our lives.
The main focus on English class revolves around a project related to the topic of abortion. These six days finally gave me the time to start reading the book, "The Cider House Rules'. Honestly, I'm not intrigued by the book, and it's not related to my book interest. I've always been a fan of auto-biographies, book series's, and motivational, life changing books. Despite my disinterest in the book, it's related to the project we're doing on abortion which is a topic I feel very strongly about.

In class last Tuesday, we talked about the topic of abortion, and the lecture wasndesigned to spark thoughts on the issue. This is an issue I can honestly write a ten page paper on if I had to from scratch, with no research other than what I've gathered through the years. Issues such as transgenders and bathrooms, the legalization of gay marriage, and the legalization of marijuana are issues I disagree with very, very strongly; however, they don't ruin my every day life, and there's more important issues to worry about. Abortion, however is way more than an issue of conflicting opinions.
Abortion is undoubtedly wrong in most situations unless you're ignorant, and not willing to dig into research on the facts. In layman's terms, abortion is very simply the killing of a baby. I don't think a scientific statement needs to be made, because as my English Professor Dr. Martin often says relating to different topics, "That is the reality". I choose to believe that ALL people are born with a specific purpose to the world, and no baby should be looked at as a mistake, or be slaughtered out of convenience. Again, I am capable of writing an educable paper on my hate on abortion, without even mentioning anything with religion, which sadly isn't credible in our day and age.
Like I said earlier in this blog, I could write a ten page paper on why I don't support abortion.
In class last week, Dr. Martin asked, "What about in the case of rape", in response to me saying I don't support planned parenthood's funding of abortion. I heavily regret saying, "Maybe I could understand abortion in that case". I've only ever had one situation that I've questioned whether or not abortion should be necessary for. In the case that the mother could be potentially killed. This however is known as an extremely rare case, and the majority of abortions are out of mere convenience, which is a fact, not an opinion. I'd hope a majority of people would go against abortion in all cases, other than the case of life threatening issues to the mother specifically, which an argument could be made
there.
The last few weeks at Bloomsburg have been distracting, and deterring of our education because of the strike idea floating around. I'm looking forward to the main focus of everyone being on education, and any talk on the strike being redundant. The issue of abortion will be a big focus in my English class, and hopefully the infograph will be on an argument against abortion. Dr.Martin says, he could of been subject to abortion, and I too could of also been considered for abortion, so that's an issue I am passionate about. Hopefully my significant interest in this topic will make the project personable, and I'm looking forward to focusing on that for the next few weeks.
