Should humans receive incentives for charitable acts? This question has been controversial over the last few years. Many people have seen an issue with this‚ believing that receiving incentives could send a morally wrong message but is that the case for everyone? I believe that wrongdoings sends a morally wrong message and not helping out the less fortunate is as much as a wrongdoing as not helping your fellow brethren. Helping others is good for one’s own soul and others as well; it gives us a sense

Most high schools in the United States start school before eight a.m. Boards of Education do this to help make transportation easier and to finish the day quicker (Eight). Alas‚ they seem to forget about the effect of early start times on students. Later start times‚ anything after eight o’clock in the morning‚ would benefit students in multiple ways.

Parental Pressure within High School Students Should Stop. Back in High School‚ I had a best friend named Blen. We were very close. We were more like sisters. She used to tell me everything that happened in her life especially about her parents. I can say that her parents were very strict. The only person they need her to be with was just me.
