My Political Views 
  1. Level of education
    1. High School
  2. Family income
    1. Comfortable living 
  3. Region of U.S.
    1. Border 
  4. Racial group
    1. White 
  5. Religion (views of the Bible)
    1. Its not gods word 
  6. Sex 
    1. Male 
          I as looked over this graph I learned how difficult these questions are. I believe the reason that these questions are so difficult is because of how incredibly broad they are. Like for example I do think that the government should provide jobs for veterans but that's not what the question asked so this is why I think that these questions are so difficult, but overall my current political choices will be I do not think that that the government should provide jobs for people because, I believe that it is not our governments job to provide jobs to people who don't have one. I also do not think that the government should limit abortions because I feel like it is the woman's choice whether or not to get an abortion not the governments. Although these are my current views I am very sure that they will eventually change over time and I actually hope that they do because change is good. It is not good to go your whole life without having some sort of shift in what you believe in. I mean do you really think every single Supreme Court Justice Have had the same views since they were in high school here is the short answer NO. But all in all I very much enjoyed learning about these certain statistics about who would want the government to provide jobs and limit abortions and who would not, and where I fall in, in all of it. Thank You.

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...
