    Daylight Saving Time-- created as a way to conserve daylight and save energy is a practice that dates back to the early 1900s. Most countries have adapted to the practice of turning the clocks ahead one hour in the spring, and then turning them back an hour in the fall. Yet, there’s a lack of knowledge of how and why Daylight Saving Time came about, which has caused a lot of debate over whether it should end once and for all.

    Daylight saving time or the DST is considered to be a time managing frame that extends the use of sunlight throughout the country.

Looking at the arguments regarding DST, it is clear that sunlight is easier to manage than standard timeframes. Taking this position is easy because of how the adding or deducting an hour from your clock can save an extra hour of daylight for the few months DST is in effect.…

    In the words of Ronald Reagan, one of the most respected US Presidents: “Republicans believe that every day is the fourth of July, but the democrats believe that every day is April 15”. This statement made by him implies that he believes that Republican conservatives believe that every day is the 4th of July which is the celebration of our independence, and Democrats believe that every day is tax day, which is a day where the government can come and seize your property. On that note, I am arguing the fact that we need a republican president to serve the next term. This topic is important because it shows the kind of image that the next president should portray and the mark he or she should leave for the next generation. Our last president…

    DST helps the Americans by, saving energy of course, but that helped more in the past than it does right now. DST gives you more time in the daylight to play and have fun. It feels like longer days, but sometimes people think that that's a bad thing, and don’t enjoy the nice longs days. We also get more sunlight. The roads are a lot safer in the daylight, it reduces less accidents because we can see where we are driving better than in the dark.…
