This week we will start our study of the Constitution and the freedoms that make us uniquely American. You can order your own free copy of the United States Constitution from: http://www.constitutionfacts.com/index.cfm?section=bookstore&page=freeCopy.cfm
A good portion of this class will be spent discussing current events and political issues that affect our everyday lives. For this post, I would like you to tell me at least one issue that you are interested in studying. To help you out, you can look over the blog posts that we've had in the past several years to get an idea of the type of things we've covered. Many of the topics are pretty controversial and I do my best to not censor the information available to you.
So my question to you this week is, "What is one issue that you are interested in studying in this class?" Answers are due no later than Wednesday, April 12, 2017. I'm looking forward to a great quarter!
A topic I am interested in looking more into is Animal Testing. I want to know how many companies still test on animals. Also, the companies that don't test on animals anymore.
ReplyDeleteI have been researching a lot about factory farming recently so I would like to study this topic in class and find out what other people think.
ReplyDeleteA topic I would really like to talk about in class/ learn more of is Religion/ Prayer in school. Curious to see how other people feel about this and how important it is to others/
ReplyDeleteA topic I am interested in learning is all of our current politics and how it will affect our future growth. i.e: job placement, school loans, funding for the arts, etc...

DeleteI would be interested in exploring the future consequences of the continuing divide in Congress under our current two-party system.
ReplyDeleteWhile I hold interest in several topics mentioned on this blog, I am most interested in civil liberties, including women's health rights, LGBT+ rights, and cybersecurity.
ReplyDeleteI have little to no interest in studying issues in this class. While I have a fondness for debate, my preferences are in debate over non-controversial issues. Seeing as how it is unavoidable in this class, I will likely take an interest in any issue that has a side with heavy scientific or fact-based backing. Issues such as Global Warming, Abortion, and Factory Farming often have such sides. If the option is presented, I may also be able to debate religion's place in schools and government. Here's to an interesting quarter.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in learning about how our current politics will effect the country as a whole and what kind of changes the new government will apply as well as the effects of these changes.

ReplyDeleteI am actually interested in learning more about what we are doing when it comes to Global Warming because there's a new movie coming out and the other day I watched the news when Trump was talking about how he doesn't want to do anything that has to come with trying to fix things with the Global Warming issues and I feel like there's a lot of changes that need to be made with that and it's really important to talk about.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I try to stay out of politics because I hear about it so much from my family. I am looking forward to talking about the new thing in politics which is "Birth Rape". I feel like its important topic for discussion and will like to hear what everyone in class has to say about it.
ReplyDeleteI am interested to learn more about Political and Historical issues in class, and hear more from everyone, as well. one issue that came to my mind during class was the "Build the Wall" situation. I think this subject deserves a more in-dept look. There is more to building, and who it will affect; than what we are being told.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm interested in specifically is how people react to political change throughout history, and how the events that we've studied can help predict how such events will play out in the future.
ReplyDeleteTypically, I do not pay attention to political issues but I want to understand more about how having Trump as our President is going to affect us all in the long run because he has already made some decisions that are affecting people's everyday life.
ReplyDeleteI would like to discuss why it is free for students to attend college in other countries, but for students in the U.S. there is a system set up for them to be in a huge debt after graduation.
ReplyDeleteI would like to participate in that discussion. It's no wonder people do not want to go to college after high school since they don't have the money to afford college. I had to wait til I now (I'm in my thirties) to attend college but, even now; as my bills are adding up, I do not seem to care about financial disabilities. I will think about it when I'm unable to buy a car. But, even still, the majority of people complaining about not having any money are people middle-aged, and do not have a car. I take the bus to school, and I am of full-time work. Debt is a big deal for us in college, but in my opinion, it doesn't hurt to make the best of a bad situation.
DeleteIn this class I'm interested in studying about wars, and what people had to face back then. I like untold things I have never heard of.
ReplyDeleteI am personally interested in learning about the political ties and connections all countries have with each other. I always wanted to know how everyone really felt about each other, especially politically.
