Controverisal Research Topics!

* Women's Rights
I believe to this day a large number of women are still looked down Upton to. The law says women are equal, but are we really? I have seen situations before where women were treated as if they have no rights. Some men believe women have no say in the world and that women Will never be as powerful to face the world head on.
*Social Services (Child)
I feel very strongly against child abuse. Young children who are physically, mentally, sexually, or socially abused are put in horrible situations that no human should be put in. A child being faced with abuse have no way out. They can not protect them selves against harm. I am currently wanting to become a social worker. I feel as if there is not enough people out in the world today that care enough to protect the children of the world today from harm.
*Child Support
I have a strong feeling about child support. Yes i believe child support is needed. Not only from men, but from women as well. It is both the parents responsibility to take care of their child, but there are some situations that i feel as if child support is only used to gain money, not to help the child out but to use the money to the parents benefit.
*Assisted Suicide
Should assisted suicide be legal? or should it be illegal? Is it right to help someone end their life? This topic is interesting to me because there are so many opinions and situations that could affect someones decision whether they think it is right or wrong. Should the person who helped a assisted suicide be held responsible?

Will the Wrong Doings Cost the Gun Company?

Every gun manufacturer has specific rules and regulations to follow in order to allow a customer to purchase a weapon.The widow of Jacob Woods is suing the gun manufacturer claiming that the gun purchased for his murder was not followed by the proper rules. I believe that her lawyer , Wendall Rohr, will succeed and win the case against the manufacturers wrong doings.

Mr. Rohr seems to be a overall good lawyer. He follows the law and refuses to make exceptions. Even with the chance of making "big bucks" he will not go against the law. He requested that the photo that was given to him during court be shredded immediately. We all know that movies have their twists and turns. Mr. Fitch seems to be all about going against the law. He is illegally setting up the jury to attempt to have control over the outcome of the case. I'm curious to see if the outcome of the case will have Mr. Fitch caught in his illegal acts and causing the gun manufacturer to lose the case.We will find out!

My "average" Teenage Life!

Television shows portray what they call the "average life of a teenager." Whether you're a star on your high school football team, the girl who always gossips around school for attention, having physic powers to be able to see in the future, or even having two identities, can we say there is such a thing known as "the average life?" Whether you say there is or not, every person has their own definition of the average teen life. Flipping through the channels going from the USA Network, Lifetime, MTV, to the Disney Channel I have discovered my life to be somewhat similar to the show Life With Derek. The character that could define me well is Casey MacDonald.

Casey MacDonald is a fifteen year old girl who is currently a student in high school. She is extremely dedicated to her school work. She constantly gives 100% and sometimes even more effort in doing her best.She is what people call a "goody two shoe." She gets straight A's on every single report card. She may get good grades, but it is not always easy. She is so set on being perfect that she stresses out to the extreme. I myself, cannot brag about having straight A's, but I am dedicated to my school work as well. I may not spend hours upon hours doing homework or studying but I do take the time to make the quality of my work the best that I can. Throughout my high school years I can say that I only missed one day of school. Sure people may think I am a "goody goody" but in my opinion that is an accomplishment. I may not be the student running to class afraid to be late or grabbing the first seat in the front row, but I give my utmost effort in schooling. I take advantage of the opportunity to gain knowledge.

"If you stop struggling, then you stop life."

Growing up as a child, I had many thoughts and ideas about how life works. I pictured life to be simple and stress-free. I soon found out at the age of eighteen, my beliefs are wrong. I have discovered life to be more difficult than I have imagined. Life is full of stress and many emotions. I have learned " If you stop struggling, then you stop life." Not one person can say they live the same life as another. Each individual is unique and extraordinary.



At such a young age of eighteen, I already experience the stress that every adult struggles with, such as money. Since I got my job at age fifteen, I have been more independant. I have grown up in a family with the belief that you must work for what you want. Nothing will be placed in the palm of my hand. I can say that I have been working hard and I have a car to show for it. Not only did I pay for my car, I also pay my own car insurance, gas, phone bill, and now schooling. I no longer rely on my parents for money. As I get older, as the bills get bigger, I am realizing how difficult life truly is.



People have their own struggles in life. That is what life is about. No one can say life is easy. Life is difficult. There are ups and downs. There is pain and there is happiness. Without the difficulties of life,I would not be where I am now. "If you stop struggling, you stop life."
