The article “New Laws Deepen State Differences Over Abortion” talks about the new laws that have garnered media attention and that has had a “salutary” effect by educating the public, which explained a lot about the opposing opinions evidenced by fake news by society. That article specifies the differences and arguments of states that have restrictive abortion laws and those that they don’t. For instance, New York, Rhode Island, Illinois, etc, have intended to defend women’s rights with law. On the county, Georgia, North Decoda, Mississippi, Missouri, etc, have permitted their political and religious beliefs into deciding for women’s rights. However, Vestal points out the political polarization and division within those states, that Democratic-led states are in favor of women’s rights, and Republic-led states are not.

The article contains useful, factual information such as the percentage of women that will have an abortion by 45, which is 23.7%. North explains that there was a decline in abortion rates over the decade, and most women who obtain abortion already have kids. The article informs about four states that have restricted abortion rights to women, such as Alabama, Missouri, North Dakota, and Kentucky. However, Roe V. Wade has played an important role in such cause because most of the passed bills are aimed at such landmark.

The magazine article “ Supreme Court Justices Voice Clashing Views as They Weigh Louisiana Abortion Law” by Jess Bravin and Brent Kendall, talk about the recent restrictive abortion laws in Louisiana and the struggles that women of that state are facing such as leaving the state with one clinic because they want “to bring abortion regulations in line”. However, Justice Alito claimed that the clinics hold a conflict of interest with women seeking an abortion. After days of arguing, the prosecutor wanted to admit the closure of the two out of three abortion clinics. However, there was a 30 miles radius to access abortion clinics and it is the first step to United States moving forward, as women now have better community health care toward abortion.

This peer-reviewed text talks about systemic and socio-cultural barriers that women of Georgia face limiting access to abortion services. The text consolidates abortion stigma that causes stress to women because of fear of judgment, isolation, and decision. The article suggests that religion has also played an important role in the state’s restrictive laws and the lack of resources in most of the Southern states of the United States. However, the text provides a lot of case studies about abortion rates and in-depth interviews of different resources and reasons such as religion, legislative system, and a mix of “sociodemographic characteristics”

• This article is highlighting the tweet Donald Trump made regarding the AFFH Housing regulation of which was implemented by the Obama Biden administration to combat discrimination in federally assisted jurisdictions. In simple terms, it forced those areas receiving federal housing funds to assess the amount of discrimination they have and work on a plan to diminish it. This is an important piece of legislation as it forced those receiving money from the United States government to really look at their own practices and the practices that were instigated in shaping communities since segregation, hence it banned them from looking away and pretending this wasn’t an issue. Trump is praising the rescinding of this legislation because his base is mostly white and this type of legislation would make it likely to put affordable housing in the suburbs where his base tends to reside. In other words he wants to keep the suburbs white and not have affordable housing there.

• This magazine article is trying to convey the point that throughout history those in poverty, if the poverty becomes widespread enough, will develop a collectivist spirit and take matters into their own hands. The author portrays this with a wonderful organization called the poor people’s campaign which was formed in 2018. The poor people’s campaign has ideas focused on an annual UBI (akin to the platform democratic Andrew Yang ran on, though he wanted a monthly UBI), systematic racism, our war economy, and ecological devastation. The authors point in referencing this organization is to reinforce the idea that those suffering will eventually get pissed off enough to take action.

• This NY Times news piece sheds light on the many factors or interweaving webs that poverty is tangled in. It sheds light onto the recent impact of coronavirus and how low poverty was before its impact due to our labor heavy economy. But the news piece also makes a great point that even though income was rising and poverty was the lowest it has been it is besides the point if people are only a couple missed paychecks away from entering poverty as the impacts of the coronavirus have clearly shown. It goes on to talk about how healthcare plays a role in poverty and the widening gap between the rich and the poor.

• This scientific study attempted to analyze the first 10 weeks of the coronavirus and its relation to poverty. It found out that more poor countries initially had a higher death rate and infection rate but that over time more wealthy countries overtook them. It has pointed to the lack of testing that usually means a great amount of lost lives in a COVID infected country. This is why it points to America’s large amount of deaths due to its incredibly mixed response. This is because in countries that focused on contact tracing and surveillance (South Korea, Singapore) inherited a very low rate of the virus but since this was not implementable in America (Americans don’t like being tracked) we focused on masks and lock downs to slow the virus. The researchers made a clear point that the effect of this method may not be clearly known for a long time but its initial results don’t look promising.

“He Was The Last Person I Want To Be Stuck With,” a magazine story about a woman who was with her abusive partner during the COVID-19 epidemic. After the girl found out that the guy was cheating on her, he started to be violent, such as grabbing her hair, holding her down and beating her up. This is a very common occurrence of domestic violence, which not only hurts the girl’s rights but also undermines social norms of behavior. During the COVID-19, social isolation due to quarantine at home means that domestic violence became increasingly ‘aggressive’. Abusers are even more rampant due to the financial and emotional pressures of life, prompting them to lash out at their partners in increasingly extreme ways. So victims can send out distress signals to close friends and family members to prevent further harm from occurring.

Domestic violence is when someone uses domestic abuse to hurt a family member or someone in a close relationship, It comes in many forms of violence, such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse and neglect. Also, there are 6 types of family violence: Intimate partner violence, child abuse and neglect, elder abuse, violence based on so-called “honour”, forced marriage, female genital mutilation. Furthermore, domestic violence has hurt the physical and mental health of the victims and even the safety of life; secondly, it’s a serious injury to the mental health of the victims, more likely to lead to mental disorder, overwhelmed, self-inflicted suicide, running away from home, violence and a series of tragedies. The problem of domestic violence is a great burden to the whole society and even to the harmony and stability of the country.

This article discusses the difficulties of receiving an abortion during the Covid-19 pandemic since abortion is not considered essential health care. Due to this, 5 states have already banned abortion during this pandemic, making another obstacle for women to get an abortion. Furthermore, when a woman is planning to abort, it requires several visits to the doctor and these multiple visits mean multiple exposures to the outside world, causing the increase in contracting the Coronavirus. Moreover, due to the pandemic, many people around the world were laid off from their jobs, making it more difficult for those from a low socio-economic background to afford an abortion.

In this magazine article, it begins with the history of abortion in India. Before 1971, abortion was illegal in India. It wasn’t until other countries made abortion legal, causing India to reexamine the topic of abortion and how there are several deaths caused by unsafe abortions. As a result, India passed the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (MTP), and it made abortion legal in the country. Although it is legal, there are several restrictions such as, no access to safe and nonjudgmental abortion services, the need to find a doctor who has certified training specifically for abortion, and the need to have a doctor’s opinion to certify the reason for abortion, when the MTP clearly states that woman has the right to consent to an abortion. These limitations result in women turning to unsafe abortions that cause several deaths. Although abortion is legal, it is difficult to access.

In this magazine article, it starts off with a woman of a low socio-economic and uneducated background coming into an emergency room due to complications of unsafe abortion treatment. She passed away. Her family members viewed her as a shame in the family. Although abortion in Nepal is legal, there are still restrictions to allow women to receive an abortion and the mortality rate has not decreased. Poor woman still has no access to safe abortion and is what makes up most of the mortality rate in Nepal. The author introduces the idea from the WHO that the risk of death by abortion in a woman can be decreased if people were educated on sex, access to effective contraceptives, and safe care.

This article discusses how, before Roe v. Wade, abortion was only accessible to a woman who had wealth and connections to a doctor. Abortion was frowned upon—both in society and religiously. Therefore, abortion operations were done discreetly. Furthermore, obtaining contraceptives was illegal, until the Griswold v. Connecticut case, which sparked the idea of the use of contraceptives can be extended to a woman’s right to choose for an abortion. Then the Roe v. Wade case helped women gain their right to abort. In NYC, abortion clinics opened and charge women for a fair price, unlike other clinics, causing thousands of women to travel to NYC. More woman finally has access to abortion clinics. However, there are dangers to doctors who perform abortions, as they can be a target of those who don’t agree with their actions. The author urges people to not solely focus on the law but to allow woman to have legal protection.

 This article from the San Fernando Valley Business Journal talks about a founder of the Latino Gross Domestic Product Project. David Hayes Bautista spoke about Latino Businesses and how they’ve grown more than non-Latino businesses over the years. He briefly talks about the immigrant families and their first-generation children graduating and going to school. Because their children are entering higher levels of the “human capital”, that makes them highly educated. The immigrant children will grow up and become consumers of other Latino businesses, or maybe manage their own business. Bautista explains how these businesses thrive as well. Although the article is short, it has statistics that I can use in my research.

This article goes through various issues like the lack of training the teachers receive and how the curriculum is insufficiently challenging. For example, Schneider states, “or most of American history, teachers received no training at all, and hiring was a chaotic process in which the only constant was patronage.” Schneieer believes that the evolution of the American education system is slow and it has a lot of room for improvement.

Levy interviews Duncan about the contemporary issues surrounding American Education. For example, Levy asks Duncan about what’s holding the nation back in which Duncan responds, “There’s a small number of political leaders that are willing to challenge the status quo and challenge the base, but that’s few and far between.” Levy then goes on to ask Duncan about deeper issues of American education and potential solutions on how we can fix this system. Duncan believes that we don’t value teaching enough in that we don’t train teachers as professionals as well as the responsibility lies within us voters in not actively participating in this issue.

The article “The problem with American education” by Marvin C. Zastrow presents the issues surrounding American education. For example, Zastrow states, “The majority of today’s students need a stronger motivation.” Zastrow believes that a lack of motivation within the students is a crucial issue within the American education system. Other issues that Zastrow presents include issues with the grading system, the pressure on students, and methods of learning. Zastrow also addresses potential solutions to the American education system which includes giving weekly period length tests, grading all tests except finals which is a pass or fail, and students that fail weekly tests must attend review sessions until they have passed the test. Another solution he addresses would be to implement a flexible schedule within the curriculum so it makes it easier for students to learn.

Teen Physical Abuse

Open Web Source

This article explains the basic treatment for physical and emotional violence, guided by schools. It states that schools must give some knowledge to the students about these basic issues since they are very common to teenagers. Next, teachers and counselors should provide helpful ways and ideas to the students of this event. Furthermore, schools give education and lessons to guide their students when encountering violence, and situations when they are feeling down. It points at some useful ideas to open them up such as to “express…connect…move…shift”. All of these strategies might help them to feel better and to maintain “seasoned emotional stability that can equalize the urge to…anxieties or lash out in rage”.  Even though these are very common techniques, but they are very helpful to maintain their emotional equilibrium, so they could solve their difficulties adequately.

This article describes the coming and the starting position of abuse and violence, and states that they mainly come from the discipline of their parents, ”We believe family violence is a learned behavior,”. Next, it also argues that schools started the study to educate students about physical abuse and the ways to prevent it. Many people, especially kids and teenagers have misunderstandings of this meaning, and think that violence is not considered if it does not have “broken arms and black-and blues”. However, this is not the case because it consists of many kinds of mistreatment, which some of them can be even considered as ones such as “name-calling, excessive yelling or making derogatory remarks”.

Next, all of these causes influence individuals with the ability to trust, love, be confident, and a huge impact on their interacting process with other people.

An issue that interest me are the protests that are occurring in Hong Kong. As mentioned before, in my rhetorical analysis, these protests started in response to an extradition bill that would allow extraditions from Hong Kong to mainland China. However, these protests have a deeper meaning. They are not just protesting against a bill. What they are actually fighting for is to keep their democracy and self-autonomy intact. They are fighting to preserve their rights from being taken away before their due time. Hong Kong use to be a British colony for 99 years. In 1997, Britain gave Hong Kong back to China under a special agreement called “one country, two systems”. This agreement made Hong Kong a part of China, but it had its conditions. It stipulated that Hong Kong was to remain as a semi-autonomous region with democratic freedoms such as the right to vote, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right to assembly. Unfortunately, this agreement doesn’t last forever. It’s said to expire in 2047. Hong Kong is suppose to fully become a part of China, where it operates as an authoritarian government that doesn’t allow the same freedoms as present day Hong Kong. This topic interests me because these Hong Kong protests aren’t a local struggle. They are just a recent battle from a long lineage of fights for democracy around the world. It’s what America has also fought for. It’s what America stands for – liberty, freedom and hope. I can’t imagine what it’s like having an expiration date on your human rights. I wish to learn more about past Hong Kong protests that have occurred over this issue. How can these current protests make a meaningful difference? Can they bring about the change they so desperately want?

In conclusion,  developing countries like Brazil are trying to enhance the compatibility between justice and government by paying attention to corruption. Although this article provides to the debate on bureaucratic corruption by exploring constraints on peer monitoring and their possible impact on the issuing of official penalties, it concludes by suggesting further research with more robust models and empirical evidence to ensure more credible and consistent anti-corruption monitoring and enforcement. According to what has already been observed in the public service in Latin America expected to find fragile and incomplete institutionalization of the recent reforms to the Brazilian disciplinary system, particularly those made since the Office of the Comptroller General was created in the early 2000s to coordinate anti-corruption efforts in the federal executive

Corruption in rich societies discharged in the past; corruption in poor societies was brushed over. Go back one generation and corruption attracted little global attention. Now, developing country’s presidents and are taking proper steps against corruption, and change in public attention has been generated by new knowledge, investigative journalists, and expert NGOs. A significant consequence of this work is the breaking of restrictions on discussing corruption in poor societies, where it has never before been widely seen as embarrassing and over-focused. In the rich societies, the OECD has orchestrated new anti-corruption legislation, for example, making the bribery of the officials of foreign governments a criminal offense. The World Bank has devoted huge efforts to addressing corruption; as a result, many countries now have Anti-Corruption Units and new laws. International transparency in banking and the true ownership of companies make it harder for the profits of corruption to be hidden.

On a more personal level, how can public service be promoted as an ideal for young people when this sewer corrupts our Republic? At this point in early twenty-first-century America, the greatest service our nation’s young people could provide is to lead an army of outraged. Young Americans armed with brooms on a crusade to sweep out the rascals, rid our capital of the money changers, rent-seekers, power brokers and send them back home to make an honest living, that is, if they still remember how to do so. And it includes favorite pork-barrel projects of every member of both houses of Congress of both political parties, and every one of those most loudly condemning; wasteful government spending. Those projects are produced by the lobbying interests that raise money for those members of Congress in direct proportion to their effectiveness at bringing government-financed projects to their states and districts.

Greece is not alone in trying to corruption,  the world, we are failing. In contrast, corruption is the misuse of private or public power and authority for personal gain. Corruption has disrupted Greece economy, including health, education, which are our basic rights. It led to massive unemployment, cuts in public services, decrease capital left, no foreign investment came in, and as a result, poverty and inequality grew.  To detoxified Greece, we need to rethink inside and outside of Greece. If we think about inside we can’t fight with corruption when salaries are below real living standards, and people are looking to earn money in bad intentions. To fight against corruption, we need to provide more opportunities so that our economy can rise, and we all need together to come up with priorities and solutions. Also, we need solidarity, sustainable reforms, trust in government and business, economic growth, and good governance.
