The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) claims to be a nonprofit organization. Athletes enter the NCAA to play out their dreams of furthering their high school sports career to the next level. They receive scholarships that cover all or most of their school tuition and other fees but end up wanting more for their dedication. They expect more because they are hardworking athletes. To keep high ranked players from attending other colleges‚ coaches and other college faculty pay players under

mostly one illegal drug called marijuana. I could never understand why people told me it was so bad‚ and yet I see a lot of grownups doing it. Being a young adult and having a few run ins with the drug‚ and the effect it has on other people‚ the one thought that comes to my mind is why hasn’t marijuana been legalized in other states. The fight to legalize marijuana in the United States of America has been going on for way to long. Why are they making the drug worse then what it really is? Marijuana

Raising the minimum wage is an evergoing danger that Americans must fight against. The minimum wage has the ability to ruin or stabilize our economy. The government must be more cautious in its implementation of the minimum wage. The minimum wage should not be raised because it will increase inflation‚ take away jobs‚ decrease job opportunity for untrained individuals‚ and hurt small businesses. A rising minimum wage will result in a higher price of goods and raise inflation of our economy. Increasing

when a life has been lost is revenge‚ not justice.” This quote from Desmund Tutu is a perfect example as to why the death penalty is inhumane. Death penalty is one of the most controversial topics in politics‚ and is almost always brought up in debates. As of 2011 only 61 percent of the population is in favor of the death penalty (Jonsson). The death penalty is unjust and immoral and should be stopped. The death penalty allows for many wrongly convicted people to be put to death. Sentencing someone

I believe that the Kite Runner should not be banned from School District 53. Banning the Kite Runner would produce claims of double standards‚ be a disservice to high schoolers in sd53‚ and actually limit certain ideas allowed to be discussed in a school setting. I’d like to start off by asking why the District favours banning the Kite runner‚ but appears to be perfectly alright with Shakespeare’s Macbeth being analyzed and taught to 16 year olds every year. Last I remember Macbeth was positively

want more sleep. School’s shouldn’t start later? Firstly‚ schools should not start later because according to Justin O’Neill he says ‚“....Many parents would no longer have time before work to drive their kids to school” (21). This obviously proves that parents would have difficult times rearranging work. Parents will most likely have trouble with their bosses. They would also have trouble taking their kids to school. This is why schools shouldn’t start

question is should they be paid this astronomical amount of money. Certain athletes earn millions while various people all around the world can barely afford the necessities‚ such as food‚ water and shelter. This is a problem that desperately needs to be addressed. To achieve this we should employ taxes‚ but the money made off this should go to charity‚ also we should lower salary caps‚ thus we restrict the amounts teams can spend on their players. In this report‚ I will be explaining why athletes should

inordinate amount of time preparing for these tests while they should be teaching and learning new material to better prepare the students for their upcoming college classes. While standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT are designed to best represent students to potential colleges‚ they are only indicative of a student’s memory‚ not the student’s full capabilities. Standardized testing is not the best way to measure learning; therefore‚ it should be banned. The pressure of standardized testing can cause

In my opinion I believe that teens should not have curfews for three reasons. My first reason that I believe teens should not have curfews is because of projects. Projects are very important to students because the project may consume a lot of time to work on. Sometimes teens only get a few days to work on the project and may be due soon. Projects are worth a lot of points and a main part of your grade so u need as much time to work on it. Teachers are very strict with the way your project turns

Abortion should be Illegal The words of an unborn baby are ones that almost no one ever thinks of‚ or hears. One of this country’s most controversial topics is abortion. However‚ if one sees the constitutional infringement to women by the restriction of abortion; the torment to the unwanted child; and the anguish society has to sustain‚ then this topic would not be so debatable. Too many people do not see the effect that abortions cause. It is a very dangerous offence that affects the mother
