This article is about outlining acts and bills regarding abortion. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (U.S. representative) has tweets contained in the article. She states that it’s an infringement on personal rights. She explains how certain states’ legislature allows for no exceptions. This criminalizes abortion. The article speaks about how the age of the baby impacts the sentences (years of jail time) of doctors performing an abortion in certain states. Alabama and Ohio are the states focused on. A big portion of the argument is deciding when the fetus is a baby, making it a moral issue. People use heartbeats and trimesters to measure this.

Checks and balances work if one party doesn’t have control of all three branches of government. The Louisiana Unsafe Abortion Protection Act is interpreted by each group to their advantage. The pro-choicers say that it protects pregnant women while pro-lifers disagree and say it values human life as unique by God.

Statistics in this article prove that abortion rates have been going down because of various reasons. In other words, it doesn’t need additional funding unlike what pro-lifers have stated. The article then goes into depth about the stances of the different democratic candidates for the presidency. For example, vice president Joe Biden changed his stance. He wanted restrictions on abortion but altered his views and now adopted a more ”popular” opinion.

This New York Times article covers the issue of increased suicide within young people ages 10 to 24. It goes in depth on explaining how this issue is important and is often put to the sidelines and isnt explored. Showing the importance of the issue towards the reader.

So I am uncretain about which one of these sources from teenvogue I will be using. One covers a specific suicide case regarding a 16 year-old boy named Channing Smith who commitied suicide becuase he was outed online by two other teens for being gay. A few hours later he killed himself. From one hand this article covers a specific case and goes in depth with the situation as well as how often the law gets involved in suicide and whether it is justified to punish someone else for making a child take his or her own life. The second article is more general explaining that suicide is never just as simple as someone wanting to end their own life but someone wanting to end the pain they are feeling. It is connected to self-esteem and other possible factors. I may try to use both articles or maybe just the one. I understand this is supposed to be a rhetorical analysis essay however when we were asked to choose a social issue, i decided that I wouldn’t pick something everyone else is already talking about. There are some seriously wrong things going on in peoples minds over the last 2 decades including my own, which I believe are worth exploring. So although I tried my best to find good sources that properly presented the issue I feel like the issue is so vast there might still be more out there and I may change these as the process for writing the essay continues. Depending on how much they fit within the analysis and within my own opinion which I may try to put in either in the conclusion and or otherwise, if that is allowed that is.

So this is a blog on the internet, the blogger has written mmany books regarding different issues one of them being suicide. Within this blog post she talks about the issue and that the one thing is is missing like many others within our soicety is ACTION. Suicide has been one of the issues that has been put aside and almost avoided all together by governments and political officals. When teens and young adults go into schools kill others and then kill themselves (at an increasing rate for years) something should’ve been done a long time ago especially after collombine, many other issues like this are put of by governments for decades until they are solved. Just look at slavery, the founding fathers actually wrote all men are created equal, and even had a whole section of the original draft of the declaration of independence talk about why the issue was wrong. But they removed it and left it to the future generations to figure it out, its stupid. What gets accomplished if all we do is talk about an issue when nothing is done to prevent it. Same goes with racism, and other issues. People speak out regarding them and that is always something we need, however we need to do better than just that we should create a society in which instead of kids considering killing themselves because of bullying (cyber or otherwise), or killing others a long with them, they understand that religion, color, sexuality, and everything else at the end of the day doesn’t matter. We are all human, we all die in the end. People need to understand how to treat each other like people then most of the problems we have today would vanish. The article also mentions that “suicide prevention education is now mandatory in all California schools, thanks to the bill AB2246 passed in late 2016. But unfortunately, there is still no date on which schools are required to meet this mandate.” So even with the government finally getting involved to some degree its not even being enforced.

Anna Bernasek’s magazine article for Newsweek focuses on how the stock market has become increasingly irrelevant to most Americans. Bernasek explains how the average American owning stocks is at an all-time low, that being only fifty-four percent, which included even the smallest shares. She then goes on to say how a large percentage of stocks have been and continue to be owned by the wealthiest one percent of all Americans. Since many average Americans had been losing jobs and watching the value of their homes plummet, they ultimately had to give up their stocks. This makes owning stocks more so a wealthy American’s game, where they have the money to even be able to join at all. Thus, Bernasek states that the relevance of stocks in the news has started to become a minor worry to the average American.

By offending they mean, it will increase the chance of an illegal act to be committed or for a problem to arise. This includes the idea that due to situations that have presented African Americans and Latinos in relation to officers, parents have grown up to teach their children to be aware of racial discrimination and to never trust an officer. Situations that have arisen from ethnic and racial profiling have led to the creation of Racial and Ethnic Socialization.

Even politicians and president Trump promoted such racism by using the term “Chinese Virus” simply because it came from China, that term is merely one of a few terms used to describe the Covid-19 virus in a racist and xenophobic way which increases the risk of hate crime against Asians.
