Political Views
I believe Education has a large part in your political views, School gives awareness and creates your view. Your level of education also has a large impact in your political views, if you are a high school dropout with a low income you are going to choose the best candidate that will speak for you which goes into the second pillar of family income. How much money you make a year can determine what party you are, from my understanding if you make a decent amount of money you are Republican if you make a small income you are a Democrat. Honestly I don’t think your Region should matter, in the article on page 153 it says that the North and South have very different views because of the history of our country. I feel like where you live shouldn’t affect your vote for the candidates you see/chose. Of course that is different for your state vote, that is the representative of your community. Race also has a huge impact on your political view but again I don’t think it should, I think your choice should come from what you believe in a candidate, race shouldn't decide your party. From what I know about Republicans is they have VERY strong religious beliefs, not saying Democrats don’t but I feel like Democrats are willing to change for the greater good. For me I think you should vote for the person YOU think would be the best fit. Like let’s look at the Beto and Ted Cruz senate election. I feel like Ted Cruz is NOT a good fit for Texas and some of the choice we have seen from him have been very questionable. But that is just me! I feel like you shouldn't care if they are republican, demarcate, black, white, gay, straight, If you feel like the person you are going to vote for is the best fit for our community they do it. It is YOUR ("your") vote.

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...
