Political Disinterest of the Younger Generation in Australia The recent Australian federal election in July saw a ninety-five percent participation rate, three percent higher than in the previous election. With such a high percentage of voters, one would assume most Australians have a high sense of civic duty. Much of the younger generation, however, appears to lack political interest. In 2013, only around 50 percent of eighteen year olds participated in the federal election1. The article I…

build more cages and lock people up, we can tighten drug laws and make the prices go up, but at the end of the day all we are doing is imprisoning our people while drug cartels continue to rake in money off of America’s addiction problem. Or we can decriminalize drugs, offer better treatment programs, cut off the money going to cartels and other violent gangs, and we could focus on taking the humanitarian approach of helping people who are in need of our help. –Sean…

Immigrants travel to the United States of America for freedom but most importantly for prosperity. Some legislators and state officials have debated that immigrants are only taking jobs from Americans, costing taxpayers money and increasing crime rates.

Much of Carnegie's success came from his extraordinary ability to recognize and exploit the opportunities being created by industrialization. During his 12 years with the Pennsylvania Railroad, he developed the managerial skills and personal relationships that would help him in his later business ventures.

Border Patrol is designed to catch criminals, refugees, and to avoid wars between countries. The border between Mexico and America is designed to stop the smuggling of weapons and drugs from one country to the other. Due to drug cartels in Mexico, it’s getting harder and harder to keep drugs from being smuggled across the American Border. Perhaps one of the biggest issues with Border Control is determining how effective it is. Despite having around the clock surveillance of the area…

legalization of marijuana is also hurting what the government calls the “most extreme organized crime threat to the United States,” the Mexican drug cartels. However, marijuana legalization might have a low impact on the cartels’ capability to bring in dangerous drugs, such as cocaine, or heroin into the United States. Decreasing the profits the cartels’ obtain from marijuana will lessen their control, prosperity, and diminish their attitudes to traffic more dangerous drugs into the United…

As minorities, my family and I resemble ants. We try not to get stepped on, we fight to bring home the most we can, and we constantly prove ourselves to be incredibly strong. Neverending challenges threaten to defeat us, but with the support of our community, we are ready to overcome them. Being a minority placed several obstacles on my path. I’m easily unnoticed, belittled, and underestimated. As a young hispanic woman, being stereotyped is not something unfamiliar to me. I constantly…

It doesn't take much to notice all the madness going on in the world in today's times. Every magazine, television or website has carnage and destruction on it. It makes you question if genuinely good people still exist anymore or if everyone is out to get every one else. Humanity is pretty cruel but luckily not everyone is out to drag someone else down, and there are people who are trying to do good for fellow man. Thor Halvorssen is a human rights activist from Venezuela who is trying to…

as the "murder capital",[11] experiencing 474 homicides in 1990.[12] The elevated crime levels were associated with the introduction of crack cocaine during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
