With its ever-growing population, the amount of inmates has grown by over 700% throughout the past century. This staggering amount far exceeds that of the United States’ population, making 32% look diminutive in comparison. Currently, there are more than 200,000 incarcerated people that are being detained inside a federal prison facility. In an attempt to improve public safety, a set of policies such as the “tough on crime” movement have been enacted, using punishment as the sole response to…

In recent years attitudes have shifted in favor of the state having a legitimate role in protecting women, families, and children. The courts and protective services of the United States generally recognizes categories of abuse and neglect as defined in the 1996 Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.

Fight to Save Her Life In the United States, the death penalty is a subject that will most likely always be controversial. The eighth amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted” (Bill of Rights).

American society since we first colonized into the new world. European settlers brought this practice from Great Britain, implementing it into justice system as a means of retribution and deterrence. Today this controversial penalty is legal in only 31 states, dividing our nation. Due to this split of acceptance, the death penalty has become a controversial issue on the grounds of morality and civility. I believe capital punishment should continue to be a legal practice in the United States for…

Abortion has been one of the most argued topics in the United States for the last couple of decades. Abortion has become a key point in politics, it can be the decider if someone will vote for you or not. Obviously each side has their own defenses to abortion, but I don’t think as a country we’ll ever reach a consensus on what the right thing is. I’m pro choice because I don’t think we have the right to tell someone what to do with their own body especially when that person is a woman. Also I’m…
