These tests themselves are very long and take lots of time that could be used for learning. Teachers try to teach what they know will be on these tests, instead of what will be helpful for the students. There is extra pressure to do well because of societal pressure; you have to go to college and get a great job.

As more and more people from different races are coming to the U.S as well as starting a life here, we must change the way the are treated.

In a country like America, the amount of homeless people that can not seek help from others or get a job is appalling. America is known for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but how can one live by this motto when they are unfortunate and can't live in the proper circumstances hoping that it won't rain today as they do not have a safe shelter to stay in. On any given night there is an estimated amount of 550,000 people in America that are homeless. Although this is an extremely large number to deal with,  American citizens should find the good in their hearts to help these in need and create this happiness for all. ]]> 2020-02-05 17:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441097918 24nkorner https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441098306 Did you watch the Superbowl last weekend? How about the commercials? Or the halftime show? Recently people and corporations everywhere feel the need to put their opinion into everything. An example of this is:
Fact: Football is a male dominated sport because of the genetic makeup of a man. Overall, the male body is physically stronger and more suited for a physical sport like football than a female's body. Yes, it is possible for a female to play football, but unless they are a genetic freak they will almost never play as well as a man.

They suffer on the streets through the cold winter and warm summer. This is a very big problem and is becoming worse and worse as prices increase, making it harder for some people to afford a home, and as the population grows, making it harder for everyone to have a home.

Besides choosing the wrong job for you or obnoxious coworkers, job burnout can be a big contributor to people not enjoying their work. Job burnout is when a person faces so much stress due to work that they can become physically and emotionally exhausted in, and even out of the workplace. In addition to being less productive job burnout can cause a reduced sense of accomplishment and a loss of personal identity because of the stress overload. A study conducted two years ago revealed that 23% of people felt job burnout on nearly a daily basis, and 44% felt it at least sometimes. To cut a long story short, over 23% are being robbed of the ability to do something so simple as enjoying their job. ]]> 2020-02-05 17:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441098740 24jcitarella https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441098848 Approximately 250,000 animals are abused annually.

So many women around the world have been successful CEO's, activists, actors, singers. They do just as good as men, so why should they deserve any less. Hollywood’s gender pay gap revealed: male stars earn $1m more per film than women. This is a serious issue and needs to be taken seriously. Imagine you worked super hard for a job you wanted and got $200. Then you tell your male co-worker the amazing news and he tells you he made $1,000,200 for the same job. Shocking right? Not to female stars in Hollywood, it's an everyday thing for them. The FIA finds that 63.8% of women in the performance industry and 51.2% of men have a career that lasts between 11 and 15 years. This difference of 12.6% depicts the number of women who have ended their careers earlier than their male counterparts. This means women are ending their amazing careers early that they have worked hard for but have to quit because of unequal pay. This serious issue needs to be taken into account and make known around the globe.

Shockingly, only 25% of this plastic is recycled. The most prominent factor in climate change is energy, which makes up 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling paper saves 17 trees, and recycling just one ton, saves 2,581 liters of oil, 26,498 liters of water and 2.5 liters of landfill space. What's the importance of all this? Well, with the rate our Earth is changing due to the actions of humanity, people need to start taking notice of what is happening around us. The information provided is only a small, small bit of the truth and if we set out to change and improve it, the world would be all the better for it. Imagine if people began to incorporate being sustainable in their daily lives. 

So many of us believe that leading sustainable lives is too difficult and that they aren't able to change their lifestyle to accommodate more sustainable choices. However, the fact is, you don't need to spend tons of money and time to lead a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable life. It's all about living smarter. During the warm seasons, grow your food! Not only is it sustainable, but it's also a reason to get you out of the house and investing more time in your garden, and I guarantee, will taste notably better than produce from your store. Buy your products responsibly! With the rising interest in protecting our planet, now so many brands are beginning to use responsibly sourced materials, recycled plastics or begin donating towards charities helping the planet. Even if one is unable to do these, simply avoiding wasting water while washing your hands, wearing a sweater instead of turning on the heater or using energy-efficient light bulbs helps towards living a sustainable life. On the other hand, if people continue to stay ignorant towards this, no progress will be made, it will only get worse. We need to stick up for the planet we inhabit, or else we will all be facing a grim future.]]> 2020-02-05 17:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441099289 24kbaerson https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441099348 In numerous countries around the globe children have a limited education, putting a damper on the opportunities in life that we all deserve.

Because the town is not financial secure, the level of education available to those of the town is limited. This leads to the illegal crime of stealing ones education. In more basic terms stealing and education is when a parent fakes an address of a resident so that their child has the opportunity to get into a better school. This is a problem because for the residents of that town attending the school, may not get that education because there is a student that has taken their place that doesn't live in the town. Parents have been sentenced to half of a year to a year and more due to these risky acts.

Food insecurity or lack of available resources for food, has had many negative effects on the country. One of which being that the government has felt the need to lower the amount of food rations per day to only 11 ounces. This issue is truly significant because people especially children, are malnourished and suffer from serious health problems. If the problem consists, North Korean children won't have the necessary energy provided by the nutrients in food to reach their full abilities and accomplish all their goals. After learning more about this issue, I realized how lucky I am to be living in a food secure area where I don’t have to worry about starving. Food is a right and not a privilege.

The negative side effects are typically downplayed when people are explaining why Marijana should be legalized, however it’s important to really understand them. Marijana is highly addictive and can cause impaired memory, damage to the brain, birth defects, strokes, and an increased risk of heart attacks. By legalizing Marijana, these symptoms would increase immensely because the number of people dependent on it would increase as well. Recent data shows that this substance can lead to Schizophrenia and other forms of psychoses that can take control of a person’s life and send them to a mental institution. Some may say that the legalization of Marijana supports freedom and the freedom to make our own choices; however, people under the influence of it can’t control themselves or their decisions. In 12% of all motor vehicle accidents where the driver was killed, Marijana played a leading role. Ultimately, if Marijana is legalized in all states, the United States will face a crisis more severe than selling Marijana illegally.]]> 2020-02-05 18:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441110271 24dkramer https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441229630 54% of coral reefs have been destroyed.

With the increase in technology, workers are being replaced to save money for buisnesses. Although, it is saving money, it is not benefiting the work force. It is becoming much harder to for people to find jobs excepting humans. This means their are fewer ways for people to make money. Also, computers are not programmed enough to do as many tasks as humans. It is better for buisneses to spend a little more money to help others.  ]]> 2020-02-06 01:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441321294 24kbaerson https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441324816 Recently, in the chilly months of winter we have experienced an unexpected peek of warmer temperatures. This whimsy weather is caused by the recent discovery of climate change. Scientist have come to the conclusion that the increase in greenhouse gases used on daily basis have caused the earth to warm. It is extremely clear that this has a negative impact on our environment because many changes have been observed globally. Including glaciers melting, snow coverage decreasing, oceans are warming, there are shrinking ice sheets, and etc. In addition, it is also predicted that sea levels will rise another 1-4 feet by 2100. In just riding a bike to school, this will help decrease the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the air, preventing further damage to our environment. It is essential that we put a stop to climate change so it does not eat up our world piece by piece.

Our country already struggles with acts of violence constantly, and we are becoming numb to how horrific it is. Obviously, an argument can be made that some should be able to own a gun to protect themselves and their family, but students go through more testing to receive a good college education, then those who are buying tools with the capability to kill are. Doesn't that seem wrong? Those owning guns should be put through tests and evaluations, the same way people are for schools or jobs. In doing so, we can hope that guns don't fall into the wrong hands any longer, or at the very least we can decrease the amount of damage spread across America through them.]]> 2020-02-06 02:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441338943 24ovella https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441366013 Across America,  there are 2.7 million dogs and cats who are killed each year because of animal shelters are to full and there are not enough adoptive homes.  Just think about how many animals there must be who get abused every year.  Even though it is terrifying to think  about, it's the honest truth. Animals are a weak spot to many people (including myself) and they should be treated with respect, not be hurt. People use dogs for fights or sometimes when someone doesn't want their pet anymore they just leave them outside to let them suffer. There are things we can do about this problem like donate to make more shelters or even adopt a dog if capable. Hopefully all domestic animals can find a safe place to call home one day.]]> 2020-02-06 04:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441366013 24lellison https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441707750 Across the world, we have food for every single person on this planet. Yet, Millions of people suffer from food shortages even hunger. And 9 million people die yearly from this. We has human beings should use our right of speech to speak out for these millions of people.

They are adding handles or some sort of sharp object so during the night homeless people have no where to sleep. This is being plane disrespectful to someone in need of somewhere to sleep and I believe this is something being changed that doesn't need to be changed in the first place. Let's make this issue known and be respectful to everyone around us, no matter their situation]]> 2020-02-06 17:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441708673 24jkearney https://padlet.com/ltrang/hamiltonperiod7/wish/441711710 A lot of us love to eat , cows, shrimps, etc...

The vehicles that we use are killing us with all the toxic smoke and fumes that the vehicle put into the air that we breath in.
