We Are Young Money

increase the state’s taxes. Many years later, the act is against the Fifth Amendment and the professionalism in the medical field (“Marijuana Policy” 1). Even though the legalization of marijuana will help raise taxes and have a better environment, we should not legalize it because the children's will have more opportunity to use the drugs, it will undermine the process of brain development, do not prepare our children with proper knowledge, and punish their future. Legalizing marijuana is…

because of their previous teachers not pushing them enough or could it be just plain laziness? According to studies today it could be a combination of all three. The question is what are we going to do about it. Resilience has been a key word when talking about education for a long time now. Advocates say that young people need to develop the ability to cope with difficulties themselves, rather than expect others to solve their problems (Binnie 2016). Critics argue that it is used as a…

For 12 years of average schooling it costs $127,392 in taxpayer money to graduate. If a student all of that money would have been wasted. Or would it? We should not have to pay back money because we are forced to go, we might have found an alternative to make us successful, and it could potentially ruin lives. Students are forced to go to school so we can’t even decide for ourselves if we want to go or not so the government is making an investment on students and if they decide they don’t want…

This past semester we read a great deal of works with many different ideas behind them. We read poems of love, war, and death. Short stories of life, hope, and slavery. In all of this literature I found it interesting how similar the minds of humans today and the minds of the humans of the past are. Although the circumstances are different the drive is the same. What makes selfishness, pride, and careless live within us today have the same causes as in the past. Money and ego. That is what is…

Cause and effect are something we all thought we wouldn’t need after elementary school. This is erroneous however because everything in our world falls under a cause and effect scenario. For example in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, money is the cause for the character’s actions and attributes, and this, in turn, affects the events of the novel. During the 1920’s, when The Great Gatsby took place, wealth was one of the most dominant influences in their society. This was because…

When 9/11 occurred the world reacted in a split second to the social matter, would our young generation reacts the same? Today’s younger society is seemed to be less interactive with social matters, than the olden day society. An author by the name of Stephane Hessel states that our young society is not doing anything about our social issues that are rising and we are neglecting the important matters. In, Time for Outrage! his argument is all about: indifference, outrage, unawareness, and…

What would we do without parents? They celebrate when we say our first words, encourage us as we take our first steps, and lovingly guide us throughout the first few stages of our lives. The simple lessons that we learn from their teachings and examples have lifelong impact. However, with all the responsibilities that parents have in teaching their kids, there is one important lesson that is sometimes overlooked. Namely, the lesson of good financial responsibility. With the large amount of…

classes. There are people who are barely able to eat; they struggle to obtain income to help support their family. There are people without jobs, homes, food, and support systems who fight every day to survive. Why do we take what we have for granted? Why are we not thankful for what we already have rather than being jealous of other people of what they have? Why are there people in the lower and middle class ready to give up without a fight? People should not give up when times get hard;…

significance so we shouldn 't spend too much time worrying about them. When we focus so much on getting lots of material things in life and neglect God 's riches we will find that we come up short before God but our material wealth will now belong to someone else. Immediately following this parable is Jesus ' teaching, and application of the preceding parable, on trusting in God 's provision. Not only is covetousness warned against, but also worry concerning having our needs met. Instead, we…

It’s 6am and a mother is trying to wake her 2 year old daughter to get her ready for a child beauty pageant. She is one of the many demanding mothers that over pressure their child into pageants.

Approximately 250,000 children participate in child beauty pageants each year. Surely not all these girls will get 1st place, so is the effort and low…
