According to infobase, "High school and college sports, where many young women develop eating disorders in order to be more competitive, should also, they assert, be subject to stricter scrutiny"
Athletes may be higher risk for an eating disorder because they train so much and they may think that training plus not eating will make them skinnier, which in reality because of all the training, your body is burning more calories so it needs more food to make up for it.

Expanding on this idea we can see that Ann sees that the liberals are under pressure due to the fact that the main races for the mid term elections are gonna come down to the final votes

Should schools fight childhood obesity?
"Increasing the number of healthy options available will make it more likely students will be able to find something nutritious they like to eat."
Making more options at school makes it so kids will want to make it at home or have it outside of school keeping kids wanting more healthy options.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have conducted several studies on the topic of texting and driving and their results show that, "Texting is particularly dangerous. NHTSA notes that when a driver reads or sends a text message, his or her eyes are off the road for five seconds, meaning that a person driving 55 mph would travel the length of a football filed without looking at the road."

Steroids and other substances that enhance performance cause a negative impact on the health of people in long term use.
This can be applied to my argument on how these drugs are affecting peoples health and lives later on down the road.

should transgender men and women be able to compete in each others sports?
"Sex-leveling in sports is based on the fact that bodies that developed in a higher testosterone environment tent to be bigger and more powerful than those that did not. Such bodies are advantaged in activities that require strength and power."
Men's and women's sporting events should be separated due to the fact that they aren't created the same and they can't change the amount of strength and power the body naturally obtains.

Christian Witt- Separation of Church and State

Authorizing: According to Pastors "They don't cease to be a citizen when they step into the pulpit. They don't lose their constitutional rights when they step into the pulpit." A pastor should be treated as every other citizen in America and should not be less entitled to speak freely than anyone else. The separation of Church and state is no longer in effect because Pastors have to conform to the states rules such as what they can and can't say in their sermon. This quote shows that Christians are being persecuted for their beliefs and that we as Christians need to stand up for God and not conform to society.

Tony Shafrazi, an art dealer in New York, said "twenty million people traveling through the subway got to see [Keith Haring's] work. Keith thought that many of those poeple didn't have the means or the knowledge to go to museums, so he was bringing the art to them." This quote illustrates the positive impact that street art has on those who pass by it.

Authorizing: Lori Alhadeff, mother of Alyssa who was killed by Nikolas Cruz, said, "I am so beyond disappointed and frustrated by this outcome." When they discovered that Nikolas Cruz was being sparred from the death penalty, families and loves ones of the victims were devastated. They felt as though the person who brought so much pain into their lives was not receiving justice. This helps show just how much we need the death penalty. Nikolas Cruz ruined the lives of hundreds, yet his life was sparred. Although complete closure may not be possible, justice being served is a start.

The US stands for justice, freedom, peace, and leadership. Lack of action goes against what we stand for. This goes into our relations with other countries. "Opponents of the United States continuing its steadfast alliance with Israel argue that unflinching U.S. support has empowered Israel to mistreat the Palestinian people, incurred the ill will of the world's Arab and Muslim populations, and sacrificed U.S. moral authority in the Middle East and elsewhere." With lack of action, we are not only allowing but willingly authorizing our morals to be compromised.

Islam is peace
"Both presidents George W. Bush (R, 2001–09) and Barack Obama (D) have emphasized that Islam itself is not the enemy. "The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam," President Bush said in 2001, shortly after the September 11 attacks. "That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace.""
Religion should not be blamed for every single thing happening around the world, the wars in the Middle East especially. Some people have used the Quran in their own interest and all this radicalism going on is because of sick people that claim they are Muslims, while they are not.
So I hope that people around the world instead of straightforward judging a religion and its people should first consider if that person is a true Muslim. Because Islam is a religion of peace, and not violation.

"Prohibition didn't stop alcohol...Gun control won't stop guns" (CRPA.org). Prohibition tried to limit alcohol use in the 1920's by enforcing strict laws that not many people actually ended up following. This illustrates how people will do something that they have always done regardless of new laws. The same applies to gun control- criminals will always find a way to get guns, just as people found a way to get alcohol.

"It is a relatively cheaper mode of education in terms of lower cost of transportation, accommodation, and the overall cost of intuition-based learning. Students can learn anytime, and anywhere, thereby developing new skills in the process leading to life-long learning.
This quote implies that online education has become much cheaper than education in person, and therefore is the better option, but I have a different take on the matter. As time has gone on, humans have become more and more reliant on technology for nearly everything. We use it for entertainment, food delivery, and even getting together with family and friends over a call instead of face-to-face. These developments spiked when the world went on lockdown because of COVID. Everything suddenly became digitalized, education included.

"The Bible does not specifically reference marijuana, but it does give the dangers of drunkenness - both of which have mind altering compounds."

The use of marijuana goes against the bible because it messes with our minds and the Bible specifically says that mind altering things are sinful. As Christians we should obey what the Lord commands us.

As much as social media is viewed as acceptable and even necessary, it has negative impacts on personal life and society as a whole.

"The vast majority of gun owners say that having a gun makes them feel safer. And far more today than in 1999 cite protection – rather than hunting or other activities – as the main reason they own guns." This demonstrates that people tend to own a gun to protect themselves from intruders and feel a sense of security.
