“Parenthood is the leading reason that teen girls drop out of school. More than 50% of teen mothers never graduate from high school. And nearly 750,000 teen pregnancies occur each year.” (DoSomething) If birth control was offered over the counter many regulations would need to be set into place to ensure the safety of women because there is negative correlations that may come with the positive risk. Birth control methods should be offered over the counter without a prescription because it would…

There is currently a widespread opinion in society that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people are underrepresented in mainstream sport. Furthermore, sport is considered a field where sexual prejudice is palpable (Gill et al. 2006). Therefore, many LGBT people may feel discouraged from participating in sport at a grassroots level.

The Inviolability of a human life is something that essentially all people hold to be true. But in the case of abortion the waters become muddied and all discussion turns from peaceful discussion too hateful rhetoric. What Judith Thomson does allows some leeway so that a form of discussion can commence. She tries to break down her opposition’s main talking points by allowing for one of the highly contingent positions to be true for the sake of discussion. She does this so that she can state that…

1. Client: “I was so used to her being there. I needed her but I never told her so. Now that she’s gone, I realize just how much she meant to me” Worker: You feel alone. You are anxious and worried that you will not find someone else. Mr. K’s respond by saying that he is afraid of finding love or even if he happened to be in a relationship he would tell his partner how much she means to him and not hold it in. I think Mr. K will be more opened in expressing his feelings. The two…

Critiques of the Truth that Make You Wonder Many stories often carry an underlying message or lesson throughout them. In the Miller’s Tale, the author manages to make many critiques about heavily respected aspects in life. He does so comically, while also embarrassingly. All of these critiques are still apparent in today’s society and happen almost everyday. Chaucer does an exceptional job of making the reader aware of the nasty surroundings that each of these characters put themselves in just…

I presented my findings at the Fenway Institute’s LGBT Population Health…

The baggage is giving them more opportunities to put on a facade of who they really are and the true character is now being shown after they are married. “She never complained about anything. Everything I did before was wonderful, but once we were married, it seemed I could do nothing…
