choosing to eliminate one of three vital welfare programs due to their being no option for reconstruction of any one of these programs. Options at hand for removal include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Although all of these are vital, however I am recommending the elimination of the TANF due to circumstances that cause it to be essentially less crucial than the other two programs.

Moreover, TANF requires that qualified people participate in a job related activity or accept a job if offered one as well. Penalizations to the state may occur if…

often a big subject because some people argue that it is simply a myth. How can something be a myth when the statistics are available for any interested individual to see? There are several groups of wage gaps, but the gaudiest subject is wage differences between genders. If the problem is premeditated, it can be noted that men are paid more in careers with women working alongside them. A study on the mentioned subject identifies the unfairness of the gross income between genders. “In 2010 women…

death and money but they develop differently thematically in each text. In “Bridge To Terabithia” unlike “Esperanza Rising”, the money issue stays the same rather than change, while in Esperanza rising, the money issue goes from “Riches to Rags”.

The topic that I have chosen to explore is the controversy over paying college athletes.

It’s an issue that has been debated for years, and as times change and the world progresses, more opportunities are presenting themselves to help back up each side of the controversy. I’m interested in exploring this controversy, because it is not a topic that I’m exactly…
Despite the minor changes, the American Dream has always sought out to be about social mobility, equality, and equal opportunity. However, it was never attainable for everyone. Individuals that were not White, male, heterosexual, landowners, slave owners, educated, wealthy, well-connected faced intentional, institutionalized and marginalizing hardships. Such discrimination prevented them achieving the so-called American dream which contradicted the founding principles which America and the…
