"Rachel, I find it very interesting too at how far we have come since the 50s and the 60s, where it seemed like both parties had much more respect for one another. After reading your article I believe that a significant part of the reason we have so…"

Why are Republicans and Democrats So Divided?
This topic of the separation of parties is relevant to our class because the material covered today was about how the republican and democratic parties are separated. Have you ever wondered why the Republican party and the Democratic party are so divided? Both parties believe and hold to very conflicting opinions. In reality, there really wasn't much conflict until after the 50s and 60s. So what happened? Well, after the Cold War both parties started to drift apart and were at conflict with…See More
Abortion
I see both sides of this argument. Pro-choice believes that women have the "choice" to abort their baby because it is their life and they can choose how they live it. Pro-life explains that the child, no matter how far along, is a child and a person that God has created.I agree with Pro-Life over Pro-choice. If Pro-choice believes that everyone should be able to "choose" how their life plays out, then the child should have a choice as well. There is no way that if you asked that child, if it…See More
The Right to Bear Arms
This is relevant to the course material because it is including The Constitution, which is a topic that we have been covering. The right to bear arms and gun control are very sensitive topics in today's society; especially with the younger generations. Some say that the Second Amendment is outdated and doesn't apply to today's world or maybe we should remove it permanently. However, it is still very relevant today. Citizens should still have the right to bear arms if they wish. If one does not…See More
Child safety
Time has evolved into a new and more modern generation. With that, the protection of our children has greatly shifted over the past few decades. There are many wonderful memories my parents have been able to share about their childhood that included no adult supervision. Stories were told of my father and his buddies riding their bikes downtown and exploring the town. Stories were told of my mother and her best friends walking to the movie theater as a “girls’ night out”. Stories of children…See More

Civil Rights

I found this article on The New York Times. It covers specifically civil rights and if Americans still do have those rights.
This article was interesting to me because it touched on the topic of race and different kinds of people that civil rights are starting to protect more. For example, more people are starting to consider the rights of gays, transgenders, and African-Americans. These groups have received a good amount of discrimination. Even though I personally don't agree with…
