The Favor

Many Americans are raised with the idea of marriage being something you do when you genuinely love another person. Without any other thought young adults will marry another based only on the belief that they are “in love”. Yet within a year or two the same couple that’s “in love” will divorce. Just as quickly as they go in they rush out with a divorce, and in doing so break the very foundation of what marriage is meant for. Whether it is cause from lying, cheating, or simply “falling out of…

A minimum wage exists in more than one hundred countries, both industrialized and developing. Congress first enacted a 25 cents an hour federal minimum wage in America 75 years ago. Over the years, it increased nine times, reaching the current $7.25 an hour. When the minimum wage was created, President Roosevelt declared its purpose was to “maintain a minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency, and general well-being.” With every increase the same objections and fears are…

Matters of life and death are often extremely controversial and difficult for people to agree on. Such is the use of euthanasia, “the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma” which is illegal in a majority of the world. While to some it seems inhumane and unethical, withholding the ability to choose from someone who is suffering or incapable of living their life can cause misery or resorting to other (dangerous) methods of death.…

It is your eighteenth birthday. You are free to do anything legal that want. So the first thing you are going to do is go out and vote right? There are many things that young americans take for granted. Voting is a very important matter that young adults in the United States do not consider it a priority to take the time to make their voice be heard. This is sad but hard true fact and something has to be done about it. The most obvious solution is to motivate young americans to go out, cast…

Most GM produce have been developed to produce the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance to herbicides. There is a dispute if the government should make labeling GM foods mandatory for companies. Those who are not in favor of mandatory labeling feel this way because mandatory labeling will falsely make the GMO foods appear to be unsafe, as supported by the Boston Globe, and there is no need for mandatory labeling because the FDA already checks our food. There are…

I am one of many people who believe that life is precious and every second of it should be appreciated. When questioned about whether one person should be able to assist in another’s suicide legally, I feel I would have a hard time answering that. The answer really entirely depends on the situation the person is in. Do they want to leave the world just because something bad has happened or are they suffering from severe pain? To be able to commit an assisted suicide, I think the person who…

I believe that this was a good decision made by the Trump administration to enforce immigration reform. I am not saying that we should immediately get rid of all of the illegal immigrants and neither was Trump when he proposed this claim. In Trump's view, “DACA is a very, very difficult subject for me...with heart.… It’s one of the most difficult subjects I have because you have these incredible kids.” I do not know anyone apart of the DACA program but if I did I would tell them to apply for…

Animal testing for cosmetics is a highly debated issue. Animal testing is harmful to animals but tests whether chemicals are safe for our use. It is highly debated because the European Union banned animal testing in 2013 but in some places its mandatory like in China (Chitrakorn para. 3 & 13). Even though it is mandatory in some places it is harmful to animals and sometimes kills them. These tests are harmful to animals and sometimes kill them. It is so harmful the ways they test different…

“I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself.” - Mother Teresa. In my opinion under rare circumstances abortion should be illegal because it murders an innocent human.People should not engage intercourse if they are not responsible to wear protection, if they are not responsible enough for that , they are not responsible enough to have a baby or even engage in…

other people think of guns as toys more than as weapons. In the 2016 Presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz both have differing views on the topic. Hillary Clinton is in favor of gun control whereas Ted Cruz is against it. Hillary Clinton, one of the two democratic candidates running for President, is in favor of gun control. As published in The American Prospect, Clinton is “advocating for stronger gun laws,” which makes America think she is “pushing to the forefront of the…
