officials can only do so much, as citizens we should all be working together to help defeat hunger, homelessness, and global warming along with many other social issues. 2. What are your personal challenges to being an active citizen? Personal challenges can prevent individuals to being an active citizen. Some people may be struggling with health issues,…

the most important thing to tackle first is ensuring that everyone, including parents, have a better awareness of the ways their children are marketed to on a daily basis (ACMA, 2009, as cited in Snyder et al, 2011, p. 34). Moreover, solving the issue of child marketing will be difficult, as the marketing firms are always one step ahead of the institutions trying to eradicate them. As much research that is put in to stopping child marketing, as much, if not more, is put into making it harder to…

When the United States elected Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States in November, climate policy domestically and internationally has been trusted into a period of uncertainty. The environmental community closely watches as an administration is formed, that will certainly have a tremendous impact on the great environmental challenges that plague the world. Back in 2013 it was first reported that carbon dioxide levels had reached the 400 parts per million threshold for the first…

both are used, and how they differ in their use. In terms of BLM, the idea of using the general expression “All Lives Matter” to make the group inclusive is problematic because it misconstrues the goal of the movement, ignores the specificity of the issues and its differences to other causes, and, unintentionally, silences the voice of the protestors. Even with this, the rate at which a group gains allies should not be dependent on the language…

the addict. It has been proven, that addiction alters the brain, thus making it a medical issue. I think that we need to look to decriminalizing some of the drugs to start with, by ending the war on drugs. The creation and selling of the drugs would still be considered a crime and should be prosecuted. However the possession (individual usage amount) and the usage of drugs would be treated as a medical issue. As I learned from the four questions paper, that there are different approaches…

particular benefit is that it helps solve contemporary social issues. Despite the different roles it has, "design has had one constant role throughout history as an agent of change that helps us to interpret changes of any type" (Rawsthorn, 2015). There are groups of people who make it their responsibility to use the benefits of design to find solutions to various problems in society; these people are called design activists. Whether the issue be poverty, poor health, alcohol or drug addictions,…

lack efficiency. After watching Point Break, I imagine all the criminals breaking laws to help people. Bell Hooks’ concept is that movies give the reimagined version of the real and they have presence of social values. Movies that have both social issues and heroic figure can attract people and create values. This is applicable to Breaking Bad, because it is typically a set of TV series which includes a lot of today’s social problems and it also creates a tragic…

point of view and was somewhat convinced by his thought process. The perception he had of social issues aligned with mine as well. The major issue brought up in the book, which was directly and if not directly, indirectly responsible for writing the fate of most of the characters in this story was racism. I think that solution to this problem is communication. People often talk in hushed tone about issues that they are not comfortable with. Racial prejudice are found some what rampant everywhere…

without substantiating evidence to support their claim. It is a sense of earned rights that are of course unearned privileges. Exceptionalism without a doubt is a source of many of today’s social problems. It contributes to and actively creates social issues in the world and is fostered most greatly by none other than the United States. For centuries we have proclaimed our superiority as being biological or being tied to class, religion and even culture (Freeman, 36). America has a long track…

Buddha and Bruce, I notice I didn’t do as well as I should of. As a first year student everyone tells me that it is normal to not do as well as you hoped, but I still feel like I could have done a lot better. One of my problems was letting my social issues affect my academics as well as attendance in classes. When I was having a bad day I wouldn’t do anything at all and would miss classes. Because I would miss, let 's say math class, I would try to compensate by working on math homework or…
