In light of recent events‚ we as an international community should take more drastic actions to take care of the current terrorist problems. Recently‚ 150 died in the bombing in Paris‚ almost 3‚000 people died in the horrible event of 9/11 and about 150 a day die in Syria‚ which is the place most effected by the terrorists.

leaning scale to a time where more and more politicians focus on less and less funders. Before the Citizens United decision funding came from individuals and PACs‚ or Political Action Committees. PACs are groups that receive or donate a minimum of $1000 but a maximum of $5000 to any individual to influence federal and/or state elections.

Sometimes what we accept as normal behavior is not always normal‚ in society there are always going to be opinions on if it is right or if it is wrong.

Standardized tests argument Have you ever thought you were taking to many tests? If you do it is because of the standardized tests. Some people think we test too much in schools. Other people think there is not enough tests or we need to keep the tests the same. I think standardized test should change because they are to much money‚ the tests are so long‚ and there is a lot of tests in school.

In this week‚ there was the topic from the whaling ban and the issues this caused. I chose the whaling ban because I like the animals and I’m against the violence or any harm with animals. Each paragraph answers the questions for the assignment. I don’t agree with the Norwegian and Japanese for hunting whales as a cultural exemption.

Allowing for the silencing of any minority for the sake of the majority will signal that Americans have failed to uphold their fellow American’s constitutional rights. Americans should be trying to expand the minds of their future youth not trying to groom them. American culture is one that needs less political correctness and more radicalism‚ less apathy and more action
