Political Views- Luke


                                              My views on topics addressed in the reading
Level of education
I think that high school should be free, and sponsored by the state for public schooling. Free college is not the right way to go. A college degree doesn't make you successful. Will to work, thinking, and skills should be the main factor for a job. Funding for free colleges will create even larger issues and cause government spending issues (As if they couldn't get worse...). 

Family income
Income should come from the parents......? In theory, race should not be a deciding for the income you make, but that difference is divided into social classes. Governments should not always provide jobs; it should be the person's duty to make their own decisions. 

Region of U.S.
Since historically, specific places usually vote a certain party, this can effect/affect the local livelihood. Texas has usually voted "red", but Houston is mostly a "blue" city, so it is a little conflicted. 

Religion (views of the Bible)
I believe religion can have a say in politics, based on personal beliefs, but I also believe religion should not be the main deciding factor for large issues. As America becomes more diverse, so does the religious views and this creates problems with the politics. Views and solutions should come from facts and for the sake of America, rather than a religion. 

Sex 
People can have sex :-)   I am a strong believer that qualifications are much more important than 'a gender'. On an advisory board, lets say, I would rather have 3 qualified males than 2 males and 1 female, just for the sake of having a woman. Because people say inequality is an issue, a solution would be as follows. To have a job like 'the man' don't take the man's job because of your sex, but instead get qualified to do better than
him. Boom. Disabling sexism and helping the economy.

Toy Op-Ed Reflection (Anna Siegel)

Most people think that kids have it easy, as they haven't yet had to grow up and experience "the cruel grasp of society," or that children live freely without having to follow any sort of social constructs. Though this may seem true at first glance, it takes as little as stepping into a toy store to know this is not true. Upon entry, one will likely immediately notice rows of pink and blue toys. The pink rows are typically filled with stereotypically girly items involving fashion and dolls, while boys aisles are stocked full with brawny action figures and race cars. These separate aisles enforce the sociological construct of gender upon children at an extremely young age, which can be very detrimental to a young, impressionable mind.  For one, children that do not prefer toys from their own "section" may feel ridiculed or like they stand out amongst their friends, or they may just not even choose the toy at all. Children pressured by their parents or thei...

Homelessness

10/17/18 Homelessness is a serious issue that has been affecting our world. It is clear, everywhere there are homeless individuals on the streets.   The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports there are more than 610,000 people experiencing homelessness  in our country.   Yes, shelters are provided, but a majority of people are not staying in the shelters. I have watched many interviews on homeless individuals discussing the problems with shelters. Lack of food, unsanitary environments, commotion between each other, etc. You would think staying in a shelter would be the most sensible option. Although, after watching many interviews, people said they would rather sleep in the streets than in a shelter. Not all homeless individuals have lost everything because they sold their lives away for drugs and alcohol. Some become homeless because of financial challenges such as losing a job, unexpected bills, tragedies, etc. Imagine not having a place to sleep,...

The Potato

Luke Kirchner      After reading the article about potatoes, I have to agree with the author and say the Potato is one of the most important crops. It allowed for major expansion, trade and food production. When the potato arrived in Europe, I brought a new nutrition that was easy to haul long distances.      The Columbian Exchange connected Africa, The Old World, and The Americas to share ideas, technology, and resources. One of the leading exported items was the pepper, along with the potato, which was a beneficial factor in Population changes. New pathogens in the Americas led to a decrease in population and in Europe they were quickly domesticated and spread- Therefore raising population. The Columbian Exchange also added chocolate and tomatoes to more people's diet.      Sweet potatoes also proved to last in other places, such as China. The sweet potato could survive flood which were frequent in some areas. Because farmers blamed t...
