Controversial Issues Facing America

When speaking of politicians we have to look at the local and federal officials. We are living in a world today as to where other countries have lost assurance in our federal government. It’s evident that we now live in a world of chaos faced with a lot of different controversial issues. A vast part of this reason is due to decisions made by our politicians. A typical example is the inadequacy of health care this has been a huge controversial topic that affects millions of people. Children and adults lack in health care while many families struggle to earn a living and America’s families are being denied the chance to achieve the American Dream. The Bible teaches us to respect our parents, the elderly and those placed in authority. Therefore

Stop and frisk. One of the most controversial issues of today's society. This dates back all the way to 1967 with the case Terry v Ohio. In this case, an officer by the name of Martin Mcfadden, patrolling his surrounding area, noticed two African American men acting “suspiciously” in front of a store on a street corner at 1276 Euclid Avenue. Mcfadden described the men to be alternately walking back and forth and conversing while taking breaks in between. He also stated that the two men later met up with another African American male one block over and soon after, rejoined him in front of the store once more.Officer Mcfadden believed he was witnessing what seemed to be a “stick up”; nuisances “casing a job”. Mcfadden stated he feared not only

There are many issues facing America today, that simultaneously affect those around the globe. When trying to decide what is worse for the United States of America; being too involved in the affairs of other nations troubles or allowing evil to run free, we have to carefully look at both sides. I believe that evil can be contained, but we cannot be the babysitter of other nations.

Most people in America would agree that America really needs help. There are so many controversies, do we make America great again or do we go with the first female president? The Story of “Utopia” by Thomas More presents many of the social problems that America is also facing, but this was far before America was facing these issues. Thomas More is not only the writer of the story, but is also a character in the story. In the story he goes to Flanders and starts talking to this man named Raphael. Raphael then points out social controversies in the justice, political, and religious systems in England

Poverty is a problem us Americans face all around America. On Tuesday, the Census Bureau reported that more than 45 million people -14.5 percent of all Americans- lived below the poverty line last year. Many say it’s the government's fault that Americans live in poverty and that they can do more to help decrease the rate it has hitten, but I disagree. I believe that our leaders have done everything they can do to help. In 1960, John F. Kennedy campaigned at McDowell County, the poorest County in West Virginia. He was so shocked at the conditions the residents were living and in that moment he promised to send help to the county as soon as he was elected as President. His first order as The President of the United States helped create the food stamp program. He was sure to make the residents of McDowell

Throughout history there has always been issues among the government and everyday issues of the people of the United States, but nowadays we have many problems among us that we can’t quite make decisions on like many of past problems. Things that we can’t decide if it’s constitutional or not. So throughout this paper were going to decide what is constitutional and what isn’t about major modern day issues such as: school attendance when under the age of 16 and the laws requiring the every American citizen to have health care. Two major problems that us American’s just can’t quite find a happy medium to.

During presidential elections in the United States, it has become customary for the main candidates (almost always the candidates of the two largest parties, currently the Democratic Party and the Republican Party) to engage in a debate. The topics discussed in the debate are often the most controversial issues of the time, and arguably elections have been nearly decided by these debates (e.g., Nixon vs. Kennedy). Candidate debates are not constitutionally mandated, but it is now considered a de facto election process. The debates are targeted mainly at undecided voters; those who tend not to be partial to any political ideology or party.[2]Presidential debates are held late in the election cycle, after the political parties have nominated

There are a lot of issues that are constantly discussed throughout our country. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to what issue is the most important or significant. One may think gun violence is the biggest issue right now and that needs to be figured out very soon while others argue terrorism is the most important issue up for discussion. The government tries to do their best in selecting the most influential or important issues that directly affect the country and its people. For example, terrorism is one of the most discussed topics or issues that this country has faced for many years and many of the people here are terrified of that. The government is trying to do the most to try and stop the terrorists from attacking our country as well as threatening. Throughout history there have been

A challenge that most of my family has face including myself is our immigration status, I would say it is our biggest challenge. Since only my father had a work permit and he was the sole provider of income for a family of seven up until the year 2012, when my beloved President Obama announced the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) memorandum; which aid our family greatly. When the announcement was made, my siblings and I, were crying of excitement. Due to the fact that we were finally going to have opportunity to improve our lives. My older brother was the first to benefit from DACA which made a huge change in our household because he was able to help my father with the household expenses.

The rise of health concerns continues to proliferate throughout the country from increasing obesity rates to the astonishing number of our population with high blood pressure or diabetes. It’s enough to make anyone want to second-guess everything they eat and put in into their bodies. We ask our doctor’s, and ourselves “what can be done?” Eat right, and exercise. Those are the parameters for maintaining a healthy life. So it’s only natural that across the board we’ve got numerous exercise programs to help you lose weight fast or build lean muscle. Then we’ve got every diet under the sun, the no carb diet, high protein diet and all juice diets. Through research we can find and utilize programs and healthy habits that we can practice

Today in North America, people are bombarded daily with mixed messages about fat and weight loss. All of this information, much of which is contradictory, has confused the general public about fat and weight loss more than ever before. In this article, I will set the record straight about some of the common fat and weight loss myths. Hopefully, after reading this you will be able to separate fact from fiction when it comes to fat and weight loss. The facts might not always be what you want to hear, but at least you will know the truth, and the truth is very powerful.

Did you know, the percent of adults who are obese in the United States is 34.9% now, and it was continually getting larger in the recent years (CDC)? What a surprise that more than 1 out of 3 adults are obese in our country. Obesity can cause various health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, or even directly cause death. So, it is time to control and prevent obesity. Exercise is a good and normal way to lose weight, but Melinda Moyer discusses about another way, reducing the amount of carbs in people’s daily lives. She leads readers to explore the relation between carbs-rich diet and obesity or chronic disease. Even though some other theories like low-fat diet were supported in the history, more facts and evidence prove that low-carbs diet is the best way to solve the problem. Moyer uses pathos, ethos and logos to persuade her audience to against carbs, and choose low-carb diet in her article “Against The Grains.”

There are a wide variety of political issues and different opinions on how to go about them. The issues most important to me are immigration, education, gun control, healthcare, and defense. These topics have always been a big in politics and different parties have different views and approaches on how they would want to resolve these issues. Since Donald Trump took office, immigration especially has become a big issue because Trump represents the Republican party and we have been a Democratic society. Both parties have different views on each subject. I agree with either one depending on the issue but I also have my own opinions as well.

Many men and women aim to lose weight for a varying number of reasons; it could be to become healthier or it could be to look better for an upcoming event. In either case, they turn to resources in which state which diet is the best and why. Currently, the “x diet” may be better than the “y diet” because it allows

It is quite noticeable that obesity rates in the United States are continually rising. When a person is obese, they have an increase risk to diseases such as type-2 diabetes, heart disease, various cancers, etc. (Haslam & James 2005). There are countless studies conducted to see the possible effects obesity can cause to an individual. One study concluded, if two obese individuals have a child, that child has a high percentage of being obese as well (Kolata 2007). Although there are different methods to help individuals lose weight, there are different reasons for people not to lose the excess weight. The most common responses for individual’s not to lose weight are, “I don’t have time to go to the gym,” “Workout DVD’s are expensive,” and “Healthy and fresh foods are too expensive for me to buy.” Nevertheless, if there was only one fruit that could possibly help any individual’s health dilemma(s), that fruit should be strawberries.
