I agree. I feel that Young has a definite case because she was treated unfairly. She was not given equal opportunity. Plenty of people had been offered the opportunity to work and only lift light weight. She is pregnant, so she should have been given the same chance.

I am not really surprised by West Virginia being in the lowest for average age of death. However, I had never actually heard this. This makes me feel underprivileged for living here. This states has an above average rate for smoking and drinking. It also doesn't have the best health care provided. I might just move one day.

I personally feel that as an individual you face decisions throughout your life that will potentially affect your health no matter what. There is no reason that the government should feel the need to limit something as simple as smoking a cigarette. People need to be responsible for their own health and well-being, especially when it comes to something as optional as a cigarette. If you choose to smoke, be aware of the consequences.

     The article is explaining how social media is reshaping the news.
Do you believe that this good for the news?
     Yes, the news is reaching way more people, making the news more popular.
Do you think this will affect public opinion, and discussions about topics?
     I think this will affect public opinion and discussions because more people will be involved in news stories. However, some people may feel that news shared via social media decreases credibility.

1.What is the article talking about?
President Barack Obama proposed a “student aid bill of rights” that offers small but important improvements for the 40 million Americans who are dealing with student loans.

2.Why is this significant for you?
This is significant for me because I will soon be dealing with financial aid and student loans in my own life.

3. What is your opinion on this?
I feel that this could be a good thing. It would encourage more people to further their education, because that is how society furthers itself.

1- Common core standards are no longer going to be used.
2- No child left behind is an inadequate method that has harmed education.
3- I would continue with this method until a better one is established, but work efficiently in seeing that it happens.
