Essay #1: Discrimination Through Genetic Screening

Starting off, I believe discrimination through genetic screening can be justified. Greed is in human nature, either for money, property, and many more. Nobody would want to choose to live an horrible life without any money, food, and home. Like all others, entrepreneurs would want his/her business to have the best people that would fit well with their environment, but also somehow improve their business. So, I believe it would be reasonable for the business to have genetic screening results of people who wants to be in their business so that they can choose people that will fit well with the business and improve their product.

Health is one of the reason why I believe discrimination through

Huntington's disease damages nerve cells in the brain. It might get someone in personality changes, mood swings, fidgety movements, irritability and altered behaviour. This disease might harm other employees or customers, which will ruin the business’ …show more content…
However, censoring the Internet for children would definitely limit what adults could view and communicate.

Preventing your children to have access to inappropriate websites can be achieved without removing the website itself. I strongly believe it is the parent's responsibility to limit the access of the Internet for their children. For example, filtering can be done by parents by making a list of obscene words and phrases, and making the system unable to download the material if those words or phrases are found.

Secondly, the censorship of information on the internet takes away people's right to free speech, which violates the First Amendment. Swear words are censored because of how people think it is harmful for children, and sometimes adults. However, I think differently. I believe swear words are one part of our expression. We talk to people with profanity to show and explain more about your state of feeling at

    The Word “Retard” The first amendment allows Americans to freely express themselves without the fear of imprisonment. This amendment is also understood as a gateway to freely using offensive language regardless of how it impacts an individual. Although there are certain words and phrases that should not be used, it is important that there is a distinction between something that is prohibited versus something generally frowned upon. Words should not be banned, that can lead to other words/phrases/etc also being banned, and that will diminish the significance of the first amendment.…

    America has not always the great country we have been lead to believe. Since the end of the civil war, racism against blacks grew greater and greater with every passing day making it harder for these people to live their lives. This leads to the unfair treatment of immigrants trying to find a new life in America after being pushed out of their countries by poverty, revolution, and starvation. These events happen with an incompetent government only interested in doing anything to benefit itself. America has treated the people living within and arriving at the country with discrimination with an incompetent government.…

    I believe that anyone at an any given time can be subjected to some harmful or subjective material on the internet. However, we cannot allow minor and few circumstances permission to control our internet. We would become a country that we have worked so hard to become, and a country we are proud to be a part of. I don’t think Internet Censorship would do us any favors. It violates our first amendment, forces us to become a communist society, and prevents us from receiving the truth.…

    The first amendment is freedom of speech: it includes any act of obtaining, receiving, or giving information, regardless of the medium used. Censorship is needed to a certain point. Hiding adult content from toddlers is probably the best thing to do, but if your child ask you about something don't brush it off. The conversation will be awkward for all parties involved but at least they will understand the subject and decided for themselves what they think about it.…

    Children are curious by nature; the urge to explore the unknown is in their blood. Generations ago, the unknown might have involved the outdoors or the wilderness. Today, the “unknown” that children know of and wonder about is on the internet. Inquisitiveness can be a good thing, but when the curiosity of kids, and especially teens, is paired with the wide array of possibilities on the internet, a potentially dangerous situation may be created. In the article “The Undercover Parent,” Harlan Coben writes about the hazards of the internet world, and what parents can do to protect their kids from them.…

When applied to health, social justice applies to different aspects of life that can have positive effects on health including food, housing, employment, income, education and social safety. These are also considered social determinants of health. Much research has shown that social determinants are definitive factors to people’s health. That is to say, one’s socioeconomic status has a direct effect on the access or lack of access to healthcare.…

    Discrimination has been existent in America since the dawn of time. In some form or another, people have compared themselves to their peers based on looks or intellect. Those who belonged to a particular group or had a particular characteristic, whether good or not, were cast aside, a pariah, to society. Direct and indirect forms of discrimination can be seen in everyday life. In my opinion, I believe it is morally wrong to discriminate anyone.…

    It seems so simple to love, that the comfort of attraction lends itself to everyone and that the subtleties of interest are selfsame, by instinct at least; even so, it’s said that we’re conditioned to love, but to me, it’s not that we’re conditioned to it as much as we’re in the condition of its capability, simply being human—to love’s as natural as life itself, as typical as sight or sound, as native as a thought of rationality. Trouble, then, comes about when love we know true doesn’t quite liken the love someone else experiences, from which differences and judgements then arise. This is true of many circumstances, but continues to be true for Americans who identify as LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgendered)—that judgments of them…
