Political Views
Level of education is obviously going to affect people's answers to whether or not the government should provide jobs. The people with lower levels of education said they wanted government to provide jobs most likely because getting jobs with their current level of education is obviously going to be harder without a college or advanced degree. As for the question about limiting abortions, I'm not really sure how to figure out what kinds of people would answer yes or no to the government limiting abortions when it comes to their level of education. The only thing I can assume is that people with lower levels of education aren't aware of the certain circumstances that would cause someone to want an abortion in the first place.

Family income is definitely something that would affect whether or not someone who makes under $35,000 believe that the government should provide jobs. The less they make, I'd assume the more they would wish for stable jobs to be provided by the government. As for limiting abortions, I'm also not sure about how one would decide the answer to this question based on family income.

Region of U.S. will obviously affect people's answers to both questions, I haven't personally noticed anything about what the majority of people say in Houston or Texas in general however I'd assume that the people in the south would answer yes to limiting abortion and no to providing jobs. The chart shows that as well as other regions. 

Racial groups have been associated with every other factor in these charts however that's starting to change nowadays. I initially assumed what the charts have showed, mainly because of how people (based on racial group) have presented their opinions and what they identify themselves as. Same thing with views of people based on gender. 

Views of the bible is something I'm not too sure about how to associate the questions to, I think you'd have to factor in some of the other things such as race or family income to find out what they'd answer to the questions. Opinions based on religion aren't something I've ever been familiar with.

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...
