Response to 'The American Theatre'

I absolutely agree with your blog post, Guns don't kill students, students kill students. I think it's going to take a lot of work to get rid of and/or redefine the second amendment and if it IS ever amended, it's going to take a long time and an army to regulate the mass amounts of firearms in the U.S. In the meantime, friendliness can go a long way. I don't know if assigning counselors to students at school will exactly improve the attitudes of millions of kids but it couldn't do any harm. I also think this issue starts more with activities at home and how kids spend their free time. Children/teens look up to family members and if someone is a complete a**hole, they are more likely to develop that same attitude or eventually become depressed. Let's start by influencing good character at home and setting positive examples for youths.

Grifter or Gipper?

Is Trump a grifter? Was Ronald Reagan a Gipper? According to the dictionary, a grifter is basically a conman. The term “Gipper” came from Ronald Reagan’s short-term acting career when he plays a football star from the 1920’s. So far into Trump's presidency, there's been more mischief and golf than actual change. Although Ronald Reagan wasn't the coolest of presidents, the scandals under his control were less scandalous. In this article,   Reagan was the Gipper. Trump is the grifter. , written by Max Boot, he evaluates some of the problems under Ragans control and some under Trump's circus ring. I think the writer did a good job of assessing issues they've both experienced under their administration. Max Boot is arguing claims that president Donald Trump is actually better than Ronald Reagan. Boot says in the beginning of the article that supporters believed that Trump “ was the second coming of Ronald Reagan” but after he was elected, supporters think he became bett...

In response to Josh's Blog, 'Turn it off'

I completely agree with your post about higher ranked government officials forfeiting their social media accounts. If it's impossible to keep them from posting on social media at all, they somehow need to be heavily regulated. When the president posts on social media, not only is it unprofessional, it is also raising concerns about poor mental health. This is a major loss of credibility, a big step backward for America and for the development our government needs. The posts on Twitter by Donald Trump is indefinitely giving people the wrong idea of authority and become a very poor influence towards society. This controversy needs to be appropriately addressed before things escalate and get more out of hand.

It's about time we figure out health care

This article really opened my eyes to what healthcare is really about... Money. I've been blessed with good insurance but even after paying more than $300 a month for the "good kind" of insurance, I still have to pay $800 or more out of pocket for certain things. So far, I haven't encountered a problem with being billed twice or getting charged for something that never happened, but this problem is happening more and more every year. The American Hospital Association created 'The Patient Bill of Rights' in the 1970's and amended it in 1992. This bill of rights was written so that people have the right to be treated properly no matter their financial situation and given the proper healthcare treatment. Since this was written, states have been given the ability to redefine and rewrite these rights, leaving our current rules in healthcare confusing. I strongly agree that there should be a financial bill of rights in healthcare for everyone so that patients k...
