Michael Vick
The celebraties today, are very publicized. They are shown for their accomplishments and when they do something wrong, it get the most news paper pages then any other event. When someone who is well known does something like dog fighting, they should be punished just as much. Celebraties get too much slack because they are a public figure and looked upon by many children that they need to get punished for the wrong doing that they have done.
Even though these public figures are highly looked upon, they need to learn their lesson just like everyone else does. If we as american fail to show the children that people get in trouble for what they do wrong, then they will think that they can conspire behind their parents back and not recieve consicounses. Public figures need to set example for the young teenagers that look at them for inspiration to do better. When they fail to set a good example, then they fail as a role model to everyone in the nation.
These wrong doing they have done need to be publically punished and needs to be fair to everyone. It is not fair to let someone like michael vick off when a normal person would have to go to jail if they did dog fighting. We can not give them more of an advantage then they already have on us normal people. Give them what they deserve.
Yet i do not believe that they should be taken from their profession when they worked so hard to achieve it. It is just like someone who went to school and got a degree, if they go to jail they can come back and work in their desired area as long as they didn't do something too bad. Therefore I think that public figures should be able to too. They shouldn't be kicked out of their dreams because they did one thing wrong.
That is how i feel about public wrong doings. Give them what they should get, then let them do what ever they want for their profession.

Obama
The foreign policy in place today, is not a very good one. Bush has not implemented a very strong policy or helped us over in the other countries. Therefore, Obama is going to try to reduce the foreign wars and or conflicts that we have. even though some of his decisions might be frowned upon by washington, i think that they will help the U.S. out in the long hall.

Immigrants
Throughout the years, illegal immigrants have been coming into America looking for a brighter future. But what they found, was less paying jobs for more hard work. There children were recieving an education but they not the top notch like the american kids are. People are now wondering why? Is it because of their culture, language, or lack of education.
Immigrants come and put their kids in school hoping they will recieve a better education, so they don't have to work as hard as they had to. Yet they find that they are segregated and seems not to be recieving the same education. These kids deserve to have to same exact education that our children will recieve. The immigrant students are going to be the next generation of workers, if we do not educate them to be what we need in our society, then how do we expect to succeed.
Another issue is the culture. Most people in the US do not speak english. I believe that we should have two major languages, spanish and english. It would seperate the need to use different languages for certain things. By doing this, the students wouldn't have to learn a new language to go to school and it would make the language aspect not so different then it is today.
A way to make the immigrant students feel better and give tehm more education would be to just put those students in normal classes. If they succeed then they should be there. but if they do not suceed, then put them in a lower class.

Stem Cell Research
I think that States should be able to oppose the federal government on stem cell research. The embryonic cells that are used aren't fully developed, therefore the people who argue that it would be killing a baby are wrong. In the article it says, " the people who belive that a single cell embryo is a person then you are looking for any opportunity you can to make an arguement." This explains that the embryo's used, wouldn't be like killing a person. Most of the time the embryo's used are from people who have decided to have an abortion. Making this research the smae as any other type.
States individually, should be able to decided for there own beliefs if this research should be allowed or not. There is no way that the nation could decided for everybody in this nation.

Newspaper
Considering the latest reductions in the work force at the newspapers, I think that the newspapers articles will be what suffers. I know that elderly people really enjoy reading the news and not watching it, so they will be the people who actually get upset. The paper is a good read, but nobody in todays age like to read. Therefor, i think that the newspaper will be an online resource as well as on the nightly news.
Personally, I don't enjoy watching or reading the news. But the majority of the news I get from word of mouth. Some though I actually watch the news on channel seven with my parents, because I have nothing better to do.
I wouldn't miss the newspapers if they were gone, but I would miss hearing about the news from people who actually do read it. It would be a waste of peoples talent if the journalism profession was gone too, because a lot of talented people are starting to come out of college and would be great. But other than trying to save peoples jobs, I would not miss it at all.

Summary of what i have learned....

English 4/Period 4

My research paper is about the effect of divorce on children and how it can be prevented. Divorce is a wide known action to many people in this world. There has been blogs written about it, newspaper articles, and countless many researches done about the effect of it. People need to be educated about the way they can affect the people around them. Not only that but it can effect the educational attainment, job stability, income, emotional health, and drug use in the family.
Parents have the hardest time trying to keep their emotions from truly showing in front of their kids. This is only helpful when the child is little. If the child is in grade school and understand the meaning of loss, they will need more help then that. The best way for parents to keep the child’s attitude the way it always is, is for them to communicate with the other parent instead of having the child talk for them. It only takes a brief phone call, text, or email to effectively communicate with the other parent involve. It will save their kids a lot of hurt.
Children whose parents have legally been separated are increasing in the numbers of victims of abuse and neglect. These children feel like they have lost something dear to them. They tend to want to do anything as long as someone wont leave them. This emotional side effect causes them to not care what the other people think. They are more willing to get in a relationship with someone who is abusive, because they think they deserve what they are getting. They first thought it was their fault their parents got divorced, so they will continue to think that they are a burden to the community. Therefore making the child dangerous to the people around them.
The people involved in a divorce tend to depress their emotions. They are just looking for something to make them happy again. So as soon as someone offers them a drug or medication that will do that for them, they are addicted. Teenagers who are in the middle of a divorce at their house, will be more than willing to start up an addiction. This is a dangerous thing. They need to be taught how to control their emotions, without the help of drugs.
These children can also demonstrate a learning capacity, performing poorly than the peers. They are also more likely to have to repeat one of their classes or will have a higher drop out rate. Considering the child is having a mental breakdown on the inside, they do not understand the teachings of simple things. They are not concerned with what is being taught but rather how their peers see them. Children involved in a divorce, need to be kept up with their studies. Make sure they are doing their homework along with studying for major things.
None of these effects happens to every child that has divorced parents, however they are affected in serious ways. There is no way we could predict the way the divorce is going to have on the child or the society, but we can try to prevent some of the more serious matters from happening.
