Should Marijuana be legalized in the US?

# data[].attributes.body
I believe marijuana should be legalized for medical and recreational use in the US. Although some states have already legalized it, there is still a debate towards wether it should be legalized recreationally for all states. I believe marijuana should be legalized because it has many benefits for those who use it recreationally and medically which I will be discussing in the video. I will be doing the project independently.

I believe that universal health care should be implemented into the United States health care system. One of United States biggest debts for its citizens is healthcare, people cannot ford procedures or medicines and end up dying or if they do not die and get treated they end up with an insane amount of dead which is sometimes unplayable in a lifetime. If the United States government took even the slightest percentage away from military this could help fund a universal health care initiative. We need universal health care in the united states because private companies are bargaining lives by over pricing medicines which are made at reasonable  cost. The issue with universal health care is people believe that it will raise taxes but what they don't see is that it would take away from other expenses which make there lives harder.

I will be working with Jacob Edwards

I believe that the US should implement a system of universal health care. While it is true that tax rates need to increase for this to happen, there are ways to do so without increasing the financial burdens on the middle and lower classes, who already struggle with finances. Implementing a system of free health care will ensure that the overall costs of care decrease and the quality of care is standardized and equal for everyone, regardless of their financial statuses. Other countries have already adopted similar policies with positive results, so it's time for the US to start taking steps in that direction as well.

For this project, I will be working alone.

Should prostitution be considered a normal occupation?

I believe prostitution should not be a legalized normal occupation. As much as individuals have their rights, there are many risks following. In the financial aspect, prostitution does not help as it keeps workers in a cycle of poverty. Because it is a more private and physically intimate occupation, it would be harder to protect workers like other legal jobs. I will be working with Lola Marquez, Rachel Yoo, and Karina Ledesma. For this video we concluded against the occupation and we want to in depth with the consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that prostitution should not be considered a normal profession in order to secure the protection of the workers. Although workers are free to choose their occupation and may struggle to get other jobs, there will be a point where there are other jobs available that will not only give them better protections, but ensure that they will be treated fairly and respectfully as workers. There are also a lot of risks and negative effects that come with working in this industry that are highly destructive towards the physical, emotional, and mental health of workers. If we were to normalize this occupation, then it could be hard to help workers move on to jobs with better treatment and benefits. For this project, I will be working with Karina Ledesma, Rachel Yoo, and Debby Lee.

I believe prostitution should not be considered as a normal profession. If this job gets legalized, it will encourage and involve more younger generations to participate in this workforce. In the opposing side they claim that this job is the only acceptable job they want or have to participate in, but if it is illegalized they can explore many different workforces that they have not considered before prostitution. It can also be a safer environment to work in and will be better in health circumstances. Prostitution is seen to be harmful, because it uses workers as objects and the treatment these workers receive are not pleasant. My group will be working to build our claims and analyze this issue with going against it. I am working with Debby Lee, Karina Ledesma, and Lola Marquez.

The Death Penalty shouldn't be allowed. There are many factors that make this bad for society. It takes hardworking tax dollars to pay for the many extra trials that the inmates go through and to have them even put onto death row. Many tax dollars are wasted on this act when the criminals can just be put into prison without parole. There are also many inmates who have been falsely accused and have accidentally been out on death row when they were accused of someone else's crime such as Ray Krone. There are many people like Ray  who have been accused of this, but without it we can prevent many more innocent deaths. Race also plays a role on death row where crimes against white people are more prone to get the death penalty than if it was another race. It also isn't proved to deter crime. These problems could disappear if we abolish the death penalty. I will also be working alone on this.

I believe that the U.S should adopt universal healthcare. It is a great way for everyone to be able receive the same benefits without the issues of healthcare being to expensive or unavailable to some people because of their different circumstances. I will be working alone on this project.

I believe the Death Penalty shouldn't be allowed. It is morally wrong to kill a person in any way even if they have committed crimes. The Death Penalty might get rid of some people who have committed heinous crimes but the sad truth is that there will always be more people in the future who will do the exact same crime or worse. I believe there are other ways to punish criminals like sentencing them to life in prison or getting help in prison to become a better person in the future. For this project I will be working alone.

I believe marijuana should be legalized. This controversial issue has be debated about throughout states and people's beliefs. Though a lot of states have legalized marijuana, there are still states that have not or have specific restrictions to marijuana usage. Marijuana has been used to benefit ones wellbeing, mentally and physically. It benefits one mentally as they are able to put their mind more at ease and relieve stress. Marijuana also benefits one physically because it can help one to feel calm and relax tension from their muscles. This product has also been seen to show improvements when given to a patient for medical reasons. For this project, I will be working alone. -Jasmine Lacandazon

I believe that capital punishment should should not be allowed. By using the death penalty, it is a violation of the criminal's fundamental right to life. It does not deter crime as a whole but deters crime from that person. I will  be working on this project alone.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that marijuana should be legalized. Marijuana has shown to help in the medical field . As well as helping the economy. Some people may say that marijuana causes a lot of death or harms people. But marijuana does not have a high percentage of deaths'. Alcohol has a bigger role in that area. As for it harming people, everything we use has its negatives and positives to it. Its just a matter of how we use it . Medicine we use today even has some side effects to it. We need to do more research to see the benefits of marijuana and not just look at the negative side to it. Some states have already legalized marijuana and things remain the same. The only difference is that older people are using it more to help then with muscle pain. I will work alone for this project.

Should there be stricter gun control in America ?  

# data[].attributes.body
There should be stricter gun control in America. As time has passed there have been many terrible events due to the lack of gun control. Gun violence has been increasing a lot in America.  Many people have died as well as children because of massive shootings that have occurred. In America people are easily able to purchase a gun without having a background check. Therefore many people with a criminal record can purchase a gun easily. We need to change this and make more laws stricter to avoid tragic events. I plan to work on this project with Saudi Gonzalez.

Death Penalty has been a controversial issue, however I do believe that death penalty should be abolished. It does not serve as a solution to deter crime, in fact it promotes violence/vengeance on those who are affect by the system.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be working with Guadalupe Caballero in this project. The topic we will be discussion is gun control and whether or not we should have strict gun control. I do believe we should have strict gun control. We have seen and heard so many stories about the tragedies of these situations. Many innocent people have died and many families had to loose loved ones due to a irresponsible person. I believe there should be background checks when purchasing a gun. We must change and make these laws stricter to prevent these tragedies. ( My last one was deleted.)

Should there be stricter gun control in America?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, there should be stricter gun control in America. This is considering how many lives have been taken and that even children have died in America due to a lack of proper security of guns in a household demonstrating the lack of proper security and protocols from people who own gun. There are also the cases of recent massive school shootings which are still present and demonstrates how the gun legislation today is not being effective. It should also be considered how gun violence have been at times caused by someone with a mental illness, demonstrating how there is not a proper background check for those who wish to have ownership to a gun. Ultimately, the proper precautions and systems are not functioning in regards to handling with gun control and stricter gun control should be enforced. I will be working alone on this project.

Should Universal Health Care be implimented in the US?

# data[].attributes.body
Universal Health Care should be implemented here in the United States for a handful of reasons. Not only are there statistics showing the benefits and other countries paving the way to show how effective this is and necessary for basic human rights. Not only based on statistics showing it is beneficial, this can save so many lives for those who cannot afford health care. The amount of people that don't seek medical attention because they are to worried about the bill is absurd. So many people suffer because we do not have a efficient health care system for those who need, we have seen first hand things like red lining, and systematic racism and poverty to keep certain minorities from getting out of poverty. This makes things like attaining health care so hard for them when everyone should have basic human health care. No one or kids should have to suffer like this. Universal Health care is the key to this. I will be working with Javier Huerta on this as well.

Should Prostitution be Considered a Normal Occupation?

# data[].attributes.body
Prostitution should not be considered a normal occupation. If prostitution were to be legalized everywhere in the world, this would ultimately contribute to the idea that women are identical to objects in that they can be bought. Additionally, many women in the sex industry have said that they have been mistreated or abused. Some women have reported that men will even take advantage of the women where they refuse to pay them for their work, knowing that they could get away with it. If being a prostitute is considered a normal occupation, then it will ultimately encourage young kids to become one when they are older because of the money that comes with it, as well as the fact that there isn't any need for a further education. It should be noted that being a prostitute isn't a good occupation to have because it isn't long-term. Also, being a prostitute can take a major toll on one's mental and physical health. Overall, prostitution should not be legalized so that it is not considered a normal occupation. I plan to work on this project with Rachel Yoo, Debby Lee, and Lola Marquez.

Should there be stricter gun control in America?

# data[].attributes.body
There should be stricter gun control. Considering the rise of gun violence in America, it is apparent that the current gun legislation is not effective. There are cases where individuals with a criminal record have obtained a license to purchase a gun through a “proper” background check. Notably, there is a relation between stricter state gun laws and a decrease in gun-related deaths and crimes. Implementing laws such as a universal background check, requirement of a psychological test, and banning assault weapons are a few ways that could deter dangerous individuals from purchasing a gun. I will be working on this project alone.

Should transgender athletes partake in sports?Transgender athletes should be able to partake in sports. This is because trans athletes like Rachel McKinnon have undetectable testosterone levels in their body, and are biologically proportional to cisgendered athletes. Furthermore, the presence of transgender athletes helps debunk the stigma around the trans community. Transgender individuals are much more likely to either attempt or commit suicide. By having a fair amount of representation and by erasing the stigma around them through trans athletes, we can help improve these conditions. For this project, I will work by myself.

# data[].attributes.body
Transgender Athletes should be able to participate in sports no matter the gender they identify as. Certain rules for specific sports are not based on gender; but based on weight, like Wrestling and Mix Martial Arts. There are also systems that can be implemented, like the handicap system, which tests for testosterone, and if they have more testosterone compared to other players, they start farther back. One reason for my position is that a weight system is in place is to implement fairness within a sport no matter the gender. Also, the handicap system accurately represents a player's skill without having the unfair advantage some people could have within a sport. Yes, I am working with a partner Citlaly Corrales.

Should transgender athletes be allowed to participate in sports? Transgender athletes should be allowed to participate in sports with certain restrictions. Those restrictions should be placed on sports not based on gender but based on weight or strength like wrestling, track and field, and Mix Martial Arts. Somebody can see these restrictions under a handicap system in golf, which places restrictions on players who are better players by giving them fewer swings. Sports organizations can put the handicap system into place in other sports. This action will result in cisgender and transgender athletes to be on an equal playing field. Not one player will have a possible advantage over the other because all players will test for their testosterone levels. If one player has a higher testosterone level, they would have restrictions such as giving the other players a head start. Organizations should place the handicap system because it refers to the players' testosterone levels. The research is not on general assumptions that transgender athletes have an advantage over cisgender athletes. Critics will no longer say that transgender athletes are favored over cisgender athletes since tests will be done on all athletes in the sport. Yes, I am working with Aubrey Clark on this assignment.
