example occurred Woburn Massachusetts for about 10 years where many children unfortunately contracted leukemia. Other than Leukemia, residents of Woburn Massachusetts, when the contamination was at its worst, also show signs of liver, kidney, prostate and urinary track cancer.

The last example was more recently in 2012 in Mutare, Zimbabwe, where where in a village somewhat nearby from…

(Syphilis’ Early History). Syphilis was called “The French Disease” during the French invasion carried by troops. There are two hypothesis on how syphilis came to be. One was that Christopher Columbus brought it to Europe when he returned from the United States. The other reason is because syphilis could have been in Italy already but has not been noticed. STD’s has been around since the 1400’s. Syphilis is transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. After having sexual intercourse it can…

texting while driving each year. The short internet article “All States Should Bann Texting While Driving” by Aimee Benish and Mundeldin is a very well written article against while driving. Over 3,000 people have died from texting while driving and I believe if we stop texting while driving we can save, many lives. Texting while driving can be the most dangerous thing to do. 46 states have banned texting while driving. All the other states should also ban it. If the others don’t ban it, many…

If someone were to look up "the top 20 safest cities in Georgia," this person would find my hometown at spot number seven on this list of cities. I like to call my home town the bubble. Peachtree City, Georgia is its own unique little world directly south of Atlanta. It's a world where everyone drives around on golf carts, where crime is almost unheard of, and where the whole city acts as an interconnected community. Nothing much happens in the bubble, but that is what makes this place feel so…

I agree that the use of solitary confinement should be used as a tool to keep inmates from harming themselves and others. Without bed opening’s in mental health wards across the United States, more and more guards and jailers are left with the uneducated duty of dealing with sick and mentally ill inmates.

There will be no solution to the growing problem of human trafficking until more people are aware of how human trafficking takes place, until states begin to deter human trafficking more effectively, and until more individuals take an active role in reporting…

I am an Iowa State Cyclone. I always have been and I always will be. Growing up I watched every basketball game, went and watched my cousin play volleyball, and attended plays and musicals in Ames. There was never a doubt in my mind that I wasn't going to attend Iowa State University when I graduated. Guess what? As I write this I am currently in my second year at Iowa State University as a Performing Arts major. I'm sitting in Fisher Theatre, home of Iowa State Theatre, working on wardrobe…

I do not think adolescents have the right to make autonomous medical choices because of multiple reasons. They could be wrongly influenced, not understand some of the effects, be ignorant, or just want to be rebellious and disagree with a parent, guardian, or adult(s). If you are under 18 you are considered a child and therefore your parent, guardian or whomever is in charge of makes mostly all of your decisions for you or at least the have the authority to. 18 is usually a magic age number to…
