1) College Costs:
It seems to be that the college costs are on the ever so, increase. When students graduate high school, to further their education it is time to pay for it. The money now comes out of your own pocket. With today's economy it is hard for everyone to receive a job, that makes enough money to pay for their education. And why must education cost so much? In order to receive a job that is well paying enough to support you and your family, you need to have a college degree it seems. What happens if people can't afford this? What are they supposed to do. I believe that education after high school should not be as expensive as it is.
2)Making Marijuana Legal:
There are three sides of this topic that people may consider. Legalizing it for everyone, or for those patients that are terminally ill, and those who would never want to see this drug legalized for any reason. I do not believe in legalizing it for the recreational use of just anyone, but i do see a need for it for those patients who are terminally ill, i.e cancer patients, etc. It would cause too many issues with the gov, peoples jobs, financial burdens, and lead to more serious use of other drugs.
3) Abortion:
I am pro choice. I believe that you have the control over your body and what you do to it, no one else.
4)Salary of pro athletes vs. doctors
I feel very strongly about this. Why would entertainers make more money then those of doctors, who work hard everyday to save peoples lives. Why is it, that athletes who are just playing sports, make millions more then those of doctors. That isn't fair to the doctors who worked so hard to get where they are to help people.
5)Gun control:
Who has the right to own a gun? this topic could be approached many ways. Do mentally ill people have the right to own one? What about those who have been convicted of a crime? As stated, we have the right to bear arms, but who? if anyone could own a gun, how many more shootings would occur, how much violence would there be? Would we be safe?
6) Gay Marriage:
I believe that it is your life, do what you want with it. Who am i to sit here and dictate who you can and cannot marry. If you love the person marry them. Are gays any different the heterosexuals? No.

All of yours seem to a big topic. I like them all feel the same way you do on a few. The one I relate to the most is the making of Marijuana legal. I have a similar topic.
ReplyDeleteI think that you should either write about college costs or salary of pro athletes vs. doctors because you seem to feel very strongly about both of these topics. But if I had to pick one Id say salary of pro athletes vs. doctors because it relates to you personally.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your gay rights topic. Those who are against it are mostly religious, but who are they to force their beliefs on someone else who doesn't follow it. No one has the right to tell you who you can or cannot love and marry. Gay people are people nonetheless and should be treated the same as everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI really like your opininon on gay marriage. It would be an interesting topic to write about.
ReplyDeleteLike i said on Jae's blog, i think an essay on college costs would be very interesting. I agree with thousands of Americans when they say college is over-priced. I would like to see a great essay on this topic since i believe so strongly in your claim against universities and colleges.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on all of these!! I think you should write about College tuition costs or how much money a doctor vs. athlete makes. You know a lot about both and I would love reading either of them! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments. I am going to write about Pro althetes salary vs. doctors salary. It hits close to home to me, and i feel i can argue this topic well.
ReplyDeleteHi Shay,
ReplyDeleteI think you've made a wise choice in topic four because you have much to say on the issue. I also like topic two for the same reason.
What will you say about how we can combat the problem of larger salaries for sports players?
i plan to argue that they are participating in a buisness, sports are a part of todays society and culture, etc.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the fact that athletes willnot be working after a certain age, they will need money to support them and their families
ReplyDelete1)College Costs:
ReplyDeleteHigher or the same
Lower cost
My stand is to lower csts. It is not fair to have education cost so much,esp for those who cant afford it, what are they supposed to do?
2)Legalizing Marijuana:
Maing it legal for everyone
Making it legal for termanily ill patients
Not making it legal in any situation
My stand is to make it legal for those who are termanilly ill, so they will not have to be in pain
3)Abortion
Pro choice
Pr life
My stand,pro choice
4)Salary of pro athletes vs. salary of doctors
Pro athletes should make more
Doctors should make more
My stand is for medical doctors to make more. After all their schooling, hard work and prestige stading
5) Gun control:
Everyone should be able to own one
Or control who is able to own one
I think that we need to have more serious control on who can own a gun
6)Gay Marriage:
Allowed to be married
Not allowed to be
My stand is that they should be allowed to marry whom ever they want. Its their life, do i have the right to tell them who to marry
