Being Mortal In current discussions on Atul Gawande’s book Being Mortal, a controversial issue has been whether the treatment of dying patients is wrong. One viewpoint against Gawande's ideas are that doctors are only responsible for treating a patient and keeping them alive.

in the process. They are now serving in a detention center until eighteen, then they will be transferred to a prison where they will serve up to sixty-five years in prison. The judge even said “A longer sentence would protect people longer” (“Huffington Post”). Another similar case happened when Cameron Williams was convicted as an adult for second-degree attempted murder. Now, Williams is being sentenced to…

been around for hundreds of years and isn't showing signs of stopping. The author of the huffington post, Erin Parker, described his point of view on the way that blacks and whites should be treated when he said, “white privilege is the fact that i'll get the benefit of the doubt because of my skin color. No one will lock doors when i walk by, and i certainly wont be followed around a store”(The huffington post Pg 1). This explains that whites have always been favored over blacks in any…

itself, and getting enough sleep will help us cope with stress better (Waters). When we are stressed, our minds race with thoughts instead of shutting down at night, inhibiting important functions involved in memory, muscle repair, and mood (Huffington Post). Stress may not just negatively affect some of our sleep; it may rob our sleep entirely. Those who experience stress are more susceptible to insomnia. Many people may suffer insomnia and not even realize it. There are times when we feel…

asked whether to agree or disagree with the statement “men and women should be social, political, and economic equals”, 82% of Americans agreed. This showed just how many people are unfamiliar with the term “feminism.” The definition given by Huffington Post is the truth but, for many, the term feminist leaves a negative and dirty connotation. There is a huge misconception of the word “feminist” , many people believe feminists are “ radical, liberal, man-hater, or pro-choice” (Shire). As seen…

political announcements that she makes, describing her campaign events and comparing her with the other candidates. While attempting to stay unbiased, CNN - which has a reputation for having more liberal views - does post more positive commentary on Clinton and her campaign, then they post criticism. In a seven day news cycle, starting September 17th and ending on the 23rd, there was only one inherently negative article on Clinton, while the rest were either neutral or about her in a positive…

Groups’ or ‘Islamic Radicals.’ The statement in itself is inaccurate and irresponsible. Obama during an interview said, “Groups like ISIL and al-Qaeda want to make this war a war between Islam and America, or between Islam and the West.”(Washington Post) Using a sweeping generalization of all Islam followers and the minute amount of extremists is intolerable, the American people should not stoop to these lows. The recent election of President Elect Trump is a clear example of racial and…

One topic has been ripping through America, resurfacing every couple months after another tragic event — Shootings. The type of shooting that I fear most take place where I am required to attend 5 days a week, 10 months of the year — school. The idea of teachers being allowed to have guns rattles me more. How do teachers being armed prevent school shootings? In fact, looking at recent news stories teachers having guns becomes an apparently bad idea. Take the gun trained teacher in California,…
