Some people are strongly against vaccinating their children. They feel it is unsafe and can even lead to autism. There have been many reported cases where vaccines have actually done a lot of harm.

Williams says‚ “Our bodies are similarly structured for survival right down to the molecular level” (2). However‚ euthanasia goes against this belief.

Neil Armstrong once said "The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.". This quote shows how much humanity values space exploration for its symbolic and real value. But since Neil Armstrong said this there has been a change in the way people view space exploration. For example‚ during the height of the space race NASA’s budget was 4.4% of U.S. GDP but today

100 years to the great depression and FDR. The arguments for and against the minimum wage go back just as far and tend to be emotionally charged. But does this policy‚ established during the great depression still make sense today? As the economy enters a new‚ global‚ era does the minimum wage help or hurt us? Through a review of arguments both for and against the minimum wage‚ and a review of the research that supports or disproves those arguments this paper hopes to present a balanced non-emotional

PACs seem to tilt back the already money 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. This limit made fundraising one of the most time consuming activities for politicians. Even though individuals had the
