Jim is a donkey. He has this urge to create new levels of madness “on the daily”. Jim sits his lazy bum in his La-Z-Boy and pretends he has a job by staring at a computer all day. And the breathing. Oh my heavens the man breaths like Big Foot having an asthma attack. The car rides with Jim are the worst. He always brings an apple‚ but then doesn’t eat it until you’re in the car and can’t escape the chewing sounds. You’d think a grown man in his fifties would have learned to chew with his mouth closed

My proposal is to end euthanasia and physician assisted suicides. I believe that this treatment of life is wrong‚ and can be solved in other ways.

A social problem that I would recommend intervention and social change to is the rate of suicide‚ especially among college students and young adults. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for college students‚ and the third among young adults. The main cause for this issue is untreated mental illnesses‚ specifically depression. Depression spikes in college students as they are exposed to new‚ typically stressful‚ environments. Although we have made some progress‚ our society is still wrapped
