martial arts” (Gatehouse “It’s”). Among “true” hockey fans the rating was higher at 94 percent. In 2011, Deacon reported that the continuous violence “turns off the very audience the NHL yearns to attract.” 34 percent of respondents of the Angus Reid poll said that they were considering watching fewer games. A smaller audience was a dangerous sign for a league that counted on its Canadian fans for support through thick and thin. Along with the risk of a smaller audience, “Air Canada’s much…

reason why schools should start no earlier than 8:30 am is that there is a correlation between the amount of sleep and stress and other emotional problems. Studies show that students who get more sleep have less stress than students who don’t. Also, polls done by the National Sleep Foundation show that sleep-deprived teens often feel sad or depressed, feel nervous, and worry too much. ("Teens and Sleep"). These effects can also be factors of the inability to concentrate in class and getting bad…

In 2012, there was a poll ran to see how many college coaches think that their players should be paid to play. 58% of those coaches agree that they should get paid.

merican voting turnouts are not the best when push comes to shove, especially when that shove comes from Europe. America averages around 51.71% from 2000 to 2012 (“Turnout of U.S. Voting Eligible Population, 1948-2012”, 2012) while the UK soars above with an average of 63% showing up to vote between 2001 to 2015 (“General election turnout 1945 – 2015”, 2015). There is a malignant ignorance growing among America's voters, whether it be from the narcotizing effect of the mass media, or the…

In 2006 Time Magazine took a poll on what the American population thinks about immigration and 82% of the populations concluded that the United States Government isn't doing enough to prevent the mass migration from the south. Although immigration and terrorism do not have a direct correlation with one another, the rise in drug trafficking cases has caused the general…

change to occur in the United States, we must ratify an amendment to the United States Constitution that bans those over the age of sixty-five from voting. The elders in our country do not have our best interests in mind when taking their votes to the polls; they see a problematic country that they want to fix in their own way, which consists of rash decisions that ultimately lead to a further destruction of our society. If the United States were opened up to a younger voting base with an entire…

With the horse race election drawing to a close, the time to sway voters’ choice wanes. With all the recent muckraking happening in the last weeks, the positive aspects of each candidate remains evasive. Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and reputation as a pathological liar defaces her accomplishments, much like a hero’s past barrs her future. Likewise, Donald Trump’s female predator status and narcissism represents him as unfavorable and beastly. However, Eugene Robinson, a democratic columnist,…

health care is a legally enforced scheme of health insurance that insures a national population against the costs of health care.
