Gallup poll

Marijuana is federally labeled a schedule one drug, meaning that it is illegal under any circumstances and that it has no medical benefits. However, marijuana is still widely used by many Americans; in fact, according to a recent Gallup poll (2013): “38% [of Americans] Have Tried Marijuana,” needless to say that this percentage could be considerably higher because the information is self reported (Saad 2013). States are now taking action to legalize marijuana for medical use and a few states…

The United States is a nation of immigrants. While many may believe that a majority of current immigrants are of Hispanic descent, immigrants, both legal and illegal, come from all over the world for various reasons. Immigration is the international movement of persons into another country in which they originally do not have citizenship in1. These people are formally known as ‘immigrants’ or sometimes as ‘illegal aliens’, if without legal documentation. Typically in order to immigrate to…

“Jus ad bellum” is Latin for the “right to war.” There were many significant and varied perspectives about the United States’ “right to war” in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Several groups of people agreed with the pending start of the Iraq war, while many others opposed the imminent invasion. These groups of people strongly demonstrated their standings on the issue. France and Germany, known allies of the United States, were outwardly opposed to the invasion. Other countries, such as England…

As the world famous scientist Albert Einstein once said, “ Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid” (Investigator). The same idea goes for many children across the world. Everyone has different interests, hobbies and talents just as a fish can swim a whole lot better than a monkey, however that monkey can climb a tree as where the fish cannot. Millions of children are trying to climb that tree all…

Gender bias, as defined by the Macmillian Dictionary, is unfair difference in the treatment of men or women because of their sex. Gender bias is not as big of a problem as some people may think in the 2016 election. People are over analyzing the situation and Neither Trump nor Clinton have a disadvantage or advantage. I'm not totally disagreeing that there isn't gender bias but if there is it won't affect who wins. First off, Gender bias isn't as big of a problem as some people think in the…

The death penalty has been a flawed American institution since it was established in the 1600s. It has been marred by complaints of pain, cruelty, inconsistency, discrimination, wrongful death, botched executions, executions of juveniles, mentally disable, and mentally ill, as well as the financial cost. The enforcement of capital punishment has not only been subject to review on the basis of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, but also due to scrutiny of public opinion and outrage. The first…

While Germany is a very pretty place. Germany is a tragic place as well. What comes to people’s minds when they hear the word Germany is to think of the Holocaust. Many people just know that Hitler killed a variety of people. However, that is not the whole story. He did not only kill people, but also he emotionally and physically hurt them. Hitler did not only kill Jewish people, but he also killed Soviet prisoners, gypsies, the mentally ill. The Jews were the only ones set out for total…

ranked into categories as being inferior or superior. It is also defined as the violation of basic rights and liberties, based on the color of one’s skin. Racism in the United States has existed since the founding of this country. In a recent poll taken by Gallup in 2016, it showed that most people see racism as something to do with race relation between whites and blacks, only. It’s worth mentioning that in recent years the concept of racism has changed. Racism in the post-racial twenty-first…

However, women are now running for the presidency but do not receive the nomination because they do not have support from men. In the Clinton presidential campaign, a Gallup poll showed, “independent voters found that while men were equally likely to rate Clinton favorably or unfavorably, 59% of women rated her favorably, compared with 36% who rated her unfavorably.” This demonstrated that more Democratic women voted for…
