HCI argues that a firearm influences people to feel they are morally justified, superior and can end a person's life or…

When I grow up, I want to change the world! Changing the world one day would make me feel really good. Three ways I would change the world are: make sure everyone has a shelter to live in; help more lost, sick, and hurt animals, and make sure no one is hungry. I would like to help homeless people have a nice place to stay. When I’m driving downtown I see a lot of homeless people on the streets; dirty, and sad. My house is the best; it’s so cozy and warm, but in the winter those people don’t have…

A.M. Grandchildren Life changes happen mostly based on the choices made by a certain individual. Whether or not it happens to be toward other people or if it has something to do with things out of our control. Many things that have happened are not necessarily for the best. Those who do not work are given money to survive by the government. Although on the other hand we have veterans in the streets homeless and without food.
