10/10

1- I think that this woman should be able to take her own life. It is her body and should be her choice. There is no reason that she shouldn't be able to make her own decisions about her life, as long as its not hurting anyone else's.

2- I don't believe euthanasia is necessarily suicide because if someone is already in pain and dying, they should be able to end their own misery.

3- I would feel like I was being kept from the rights to my own body.

10/9

1- Other economies must be much more advanced if they can afford to make a burger that expensive.

2- I would eat the burger if it was given to me for free because I would want to understand how someone could invest that much money into something that they are just going to eat. I can't even imagine.

10/8

1- I am not surprised by the fact that so many people are sexually harassed in their working environments. Many waitressing jobs often encourage women to dress more provocatively in order to gain more attention from customers.

2- I think this issue should be addressed because it is not fair or right for people to have to endure these circumstances in their workplace. It can be offensive and frightening to be sexually harassed, and yet numerous people experience this.

3- I believe that by making sure workers receive a higher pay, even as waitresses, it would help resolve this issue some. People are always going to be sexually harassed. It cannot be completely prevented, but it might helps if waitresses income did not have to depend on tips. Currently, some people are having to depend on the people who have sexually harassed them... in order to get their income through tips.

10/6

1- They try to get you to read and view things that you would not otherwise be interested in.

2- I feel, personally, that click-bait is very annoying and is something that should have been stopped a long time ago. Hopefully with the attention it is getting now it will become less of a problem.

9/2

1- Many experts believe Ebola is not a huge worry in the United States because it is so much more difficult to spread compared to other sicknesses. It is only contagious through bodily fluids, mainly blood. We have advanced care and proper hygiene techniques to take care of sick people and their germs.

2- They believe we should worry more about diseases such as the norovirus, the measles, and influenza. This is because some of these sicknesses can be spread through the air and also the germs can linger for extended periods of time, causing new people to be infected even after the sick person leaves the room.

3- My own personal concerns would be that people without proper hygiene get infected and do not seek medical care, resulting in it spreading throughout the schools and workplaces.

10/1

1- No, I do not believe the player should have been called with a penalty because as a United States citizen you have the right to express your religious freedoms. If he was praying, he was doing nothing wrong.

2- This issue deals with the 1st amendment, which involves freedom of speech; religion; press; petition; and assembly.

3- You could keep this situation from happening again by making sure players are aware that they need to be off the field and not currently in the game while praying.

9/30

1- I believe that this new law will change the way the court system handles cases involving rape accusations because up until now there was no specific standards to justify what is and is not considered rape. This is a good thing. Requiring both people to confirm that they want to have sex is the way consensual sex should be.

2- I think, overall, this will make handling rape cases easier because it insists that you should have consent before starting to have sex. People will not be able to claim that they were already too involved before the other person decided that they did not want to continue. It should raise awareness of what rape really is, and people might be more cautious when taking part in sexual encounters.
