Unethical and Should be Illegal Animal rights are practically nonexistent in farming livestock today. Factory farming animals is a prime example of just how inhumanly animals are treated in our society every day all over the world. When we think about farms‚ we think about chickens pecking corn from the grass free roaming around a farm‚ cows out to pasture grazing in the fields‚ and pigs frolicking in the mud. But the reality is that farming has changed‚ and animals are suffering inconceivably. Before

We often choose to believe that America is a country of equal opportunity and that everyone has equal opportunities to succeed just like any other American. We pride ourselves on our so called “melting pot” of culture and diversity‚ but in all reality this is a facade and the United States of America is far more stereotypical than we care to admit.

Equal Rights Abortion is not a decision to be taken lightly. It is not a decision that the mother should make on her on either. Abortion should be a mutual decision between both parents. It should only be the mother’s choice if the father is not willing to care for the baby. It takes both a man and woman to create a child; therefor it should take both a man and a woman to make the decision to abort their child. After all a child is no more the mother’s than it is the father’s. When a woman makes

current affairs issue in the United States that is important to me is equal representation of races and gender within the sector of the media. Despite the United States being a nation that is becoming increasingly diverse‚ what is shown on screen and behind the scenes does not reflect our nation’s changing demographic.
