A 1999 study estimated that 9 out of 10 (90%-92%) babies with Down syndrome (DS) were aborted yearly (Bradford, 2015, para. 1). New research by de Graaf, Buckley, and Skotko (2015) approximates 30% of babies with DS were “selectively terminated in recent years” (p. 765). Termination rates among ethnicities are “non-Hispanic whites (39%), non-Hispanic blacks/Africans (27%), and Hispanics (18%)” (para. 12). (De Graaf, Buckley, & Skotko, 2015, p. 763).

Corporations, especially Corporate America, have usually nothing to do with the livelihood of the work force to gain economic power. It is much more interested in the stockholder's profit margin. Why do we allow corporations to replace our liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the individual in favor of the stockholder? How can the employees even know what their rights are, if they are working in excess of 50 hours a week? Isn't it about time we start changing the basic structure of…

The constraints on the supply side of education, health and food security has resulted in the increase in service use with little correspondence to outcomes. This highlights the gap in social services, particularly when one observes the differences in outcomes, and for those who are included or excluded from the programme.

The article “Redemptive popular art: Television and the cultural mandate.” written by C. Christians (1980) gives us three questions that we should judge our films by.

Succinctly redefining, Patriarchy should not and cannot be limited to the feminist understanding otherwise it would mean prejudicing the thrust, which is not the…
