As a college student who doesn’t have a felony on their record and is not familiar with the climax of the justices’ system and voting laws I have taken it upon myself to do the research on the topic.

My answer would be one based purely on safety. Even though some elderly

Should Coding Be Taught In Schools? Should coding be allowed in schools? I think it should because coding produces creative activity and it could help with whatever career the kids want to go in. There is one downside though; the children will not understand it all so teachers should limit the amount of coding that is taught. The only downside to coding in school is the kids wouldn’t understand all of it. The information would be rushed to the children to fast. The material is too hard and too

For example‚ many schools enforce students to watch Channel One news‚ which is composed of more logos than news when students could be learning another language or gain a new skill in an elective such as pottery.

Should the death penalty (capital punishment) be allowed? There are many underlying issues with capital punishment and the moral backbone it clearly lacks. Capital punishment should not be legal for many reasons such as the irrelevance of retribution and irrevocable mistakes which leaves “criminals” wrongly accused.

The thing about this though is that if there was a school shooter on the campus‚ would he
