Is Student Loan Debt Harder on Women? A recent report by Pew Research confirms that the pay gap between men and women is not only real, but it is still very much alive and well to this day. The gap is even wider for black and Latino women, the study found.

A study by the American Association of University Women found that Asian women paid down their student…

In term of financial policies, non-profit organizations place all their donations and financial means into their programs,…

Statistics: The Centers for Disease Control listed firearms as the #12 cause of all deaths between 1999 and 2013. They were also the #1 method of death by homicide (66.6% of all homicides) and by suicide (52.2% of all suicides). The biggest argument for guns are for self-defense. People use this argument to justify why gun control would be bad when in reality guns are rarely used for self defense.

that minimum wage is not helping reduce poverty or inequality. Most of the statistics show that minimum wage workers are under age 24, working part-time while still living at home, or are less educated than others.

I agree with not increasing the minimum wage because the statistics have not proven that it has helped with the poverty level or those with…

Child labor is an increasing problem among human rights violations. Before 1836 there were no child labor laws, but during 1836 Massachusetts was the first state in the United States to make a child labor law. This law required children under the age of 15 that worked in factories to attend school at least three months out of the year (“Child Labor”). This was a step forward in human rights policies to combat the issue of child labor. Even after numerous years and child labor laws, child labor…

Immigration is a big controversial topic in America today. One of the biggest question America faces today is, what should they do about illegal immigration?

I respectfully disagree with Chavez and do believe that there…
