Lifting: lots of people do not like to lift or encourage people to do cardio instead, saying that's how you burn fat and lifting is dangerous. Lifting is actually better for burning fat and losing weight than cardio is, when you do cardio you only burn the calories that are burned in the moment versus when you lift weights you gain more muscle which burns more calories throughout the whole day.

5. American history

Avaree's
1. art
2. animal, marine life (sharks)

sharks are so demonized by everybody for simply acting like animals. Sharks should be protected as it is one of the commands from the bible to take care of the earth and it's creatures.

History should be preserved. There are so many controversies on how people are banning books based on our modern ideal of no racism or sexism. They don't realize that it needs to be based on the author's ideals. We can't punish history by our standards.

4. Time

5. Healthy(ish) sleep schedule

Friends/Family - A lot of people I know just brush off their family, and for their friends they only interact with them for a few hours here and there, but aside from that that's all the interaction they get with their friends. I value the quality time with my friends and family, outside of the normal time frame of where we meet. I prefer going out and seeing them face to face and just spending time.

Gracie

2023-10-18 15:08:40 UTC

1. Softball at school
2. Social Media
3. Reading the Bible
4. Staying active
5. Socializing

Social Media: Most people believe that social media is great and can't seem to put it down. While social media can be good for promoting things, it can also be very bad. Does it harm the eye more than it promotes the good?

2. Physical Activity
3. Screen time
4. Classroom factors including lighting, length of classes, etc.

1. Dance
2. Working out
3. Healthy eating

Dance: This can be viewed as a negative thing by many different audiences, when in reality it is a way for people to freely express themselves, and it works towards building lean muscle and improving flexibility by elongating the muscles in your body.

jasmine

1. eco-friendly products
2. music
3. hands-on education

Some recycling gets reused but most still ends up in landfills which is why I believe it's better to use eco-friendly products so they're safe for the environment regardless of recycling.

Eva Daniell

2023-10-18 18:14:10 UTC

1) Apologetics
2) Working out
3) Healthy eating
4) Quiet times
5) Reading

Some people say that apologetics are unimportant because Christianity is a religion of faith, but I believe our faith should be reasonable and biased on evidence.

Elisabeth Berrier

2023-10-18 18:14:20 UTC

1. Abortion
2. Reading
3. Foster Care
4. Adoption

Sarah

2023-10-18 18:14:49 UTC

1.) playing sports
2.) faith
3.) time management
4.) abortion
5.) making school fun

playing sports: Many people think playing sports creates a particular type of nasty competitiveness and promotes self-glory., but sports enforce a good work ethic and teamwork, which are both sought-after abilities within many workplaces. Sports are also a great avenue for bringing glory to God and deflecting the cocky attitude that many think comes along with being competitive

Olivia Leitner

olivialeitner — 2023-10-18 18:17:06 UTC

1) Faith
2) Eating healthy
3) Dress code
4) Stop signs
5) Right to bear arms

Stop Signs: While some people believe stop signs are a safe way to manage traffic, I believe yield signs are a much better alternative. If a car is not coming, you should not have to stop. If a car is coming, by the time you stop, you have less time to go in front of the oncoming car and will have to speed in front of them.

Olivia Lovegrove

2023-10-18 18:18:10 UTC

1. exercise
2. golf
3. dress code
4. sleep schedules / energy drinks
5. daylight savings

Daylight Savings - Many people believe that daylight savings is necessary to manage the hours of daylight during the day, making it so that it is brighter in the morning, and gets dark earlier. However I believe that daylight savings limits the time available to do outdoor activity in the afternoon/nighttime, which is when people usually have the most time.

Annie

anniehueser — 2023-10-18 18:18:35 UTC

1. exercise
2. day light savings
3. drinking water
4. abortion

Ella Studley

2023-10-18 18:18:37 UTC

1. Abortion
2. Having healthy ingredients in all foods
3. Music and theatre in school
4. Christian education
5. Less time spent in school

Music and theatre in school: Many schools believe that sports are more important than music and theatre, so they focus more on developing their sports programs. However, I believe that the performing arts are just as important and should have the same recognition as sports do in schools.

Zoe Moore

zoemoore8 — 2023-10-18 18:18:51 UTC

1. Depression/Anxiety Medicine
2. Reading
3. LGBT+ ideas being taught in schools
4. Sex Ed in school
5. Hamas and Isreal

Depression/Anxiety Medicine - Many believe that medicine is the only answer to fix depression and anxiety and that you must be on it for the rest of your life. This is not the case for all, medicine is there to stabilize you and make it so you can work on yourself. The idea that you have to be on it for the rest of your life is unrealistic, this is why we have therapy, but most importantly God.

Sydney Trucke

sydneytrucke — 2023-10-18 18:19:52 UTC

1. Evolution in Public Schools
2. Fast Fashion
3. National Parks
4. Logic & Rhetoric Class in School
5. Big Pharma

Claim: Very few schools in America have students take logic and & rhetoric classes, but these classes would be very beneficial for students by preparing them to critically think about all issues they will come across in their lives.

1. Good-tasting gluten free food
2. Ocean pollution
3. Good edumacation
4. Climate change
5. Soccer team

Climate Change: Many people don't think that climate change exists, but from the logic and evidence gathered by both the government and individual sources, it does exist; it's just extremely overblown in politics.

Abram

abramnelson — 2023-10-18 18:22:30 UTC

1. Going Outside
2. Innovation
3. Relationship Building
4. Internet
5. Renewable Energy

1. Government
2. Treating others the way you want to be treated
3. Education
4. Relationships (Family, Friends, etc.)
5. Teaching liberal ideas in schools

Relationships: Some people take relationships for granted and view them as second nature, but I believe that relationships are really important to your life (especially social life).

Jake Watson

1. Weightlifting
2. Manual labor
3. Gun laws
4. Gas Prices
5. Faith
6. Open campus lunch

Gun Laws: Many people believe that people should have their guns taken away because of the tragic events that have occurred with the use of a fire arm, but if there were no people bearing arms then there would be no way for people to protect themselves and the others around them.

Gabe Wagner

2023-10-18 18:49:00 UTC

1. Lifting
2. Running
3. Reading
4. Video games
5.Open campus lunch
Open campus lunch - Some faculty think it is a security risk, but I think if we allow our IDs to open the door it would be safe.

Jackson Cooley

2023-10-18 18:54:24 UTC

1. lifting - Some people don't want to discipline themselves enough to go to the gym often, but it has drastically improved my lives, and the lives of others

2. Reading - Lots of people don't want to read books because it's inconvenient, but its been widely viewed that reading books periodically increases your intelligence

3. working - Some people say that high schoolers shouldnt have jobs during shcool, but having a job can help you set up schedules and prepare you better for the future

4. electric cars - A lot of people say electric cars are a good thing, but it takes a lot of child slaves to mine the lithium for the car batteries

5. Guns - Many people think that guns are dangerous and should be outlawed, but I would argue that they are an essential part to self defense, and if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns

Emma Novosad

2023-10-18 18:56:32 UTC

1. Drinking lots of water
2. Recycling

Sustainability in Consumption
Education Reform
Overhaul of the Medical Care System

Sustainability in Consumption - Many people don't think about the efffects the merchandise has on not only the environment, but the people who make, people who make better quality, longer lasting products, and also in areas like urban planning and construction.

physical health
healthy eating
gas prices
gun laws
music

Physical health: Some people say that having good physical health is subjective because everyone has different genetics, but I say that everyone can have good physical health and it all starts with eating healthy and exercising regularly.
