1.) Abortion
This topic is probably much more meaningful to me since I am a girl but it could be equally important to a guy as well. I do not agree with some people today saying that a woman cannot have full right in deciding whether she wants to keep her baby or not. It should always and fully be the woman who is bearing the child to say if she wants to keep it or not. It is ironic how most people on the side of pro-life are men or women who have never been raped or sexually assaulted resulting in a unplanned child. I am fairly confident that if they were in that situation, they would be fully on the side of pro-choice.
2.) War in Iraq
This is a very sensitive topic and I only choose it because I feel that it needs to end. The war has been going on for much longer than it needs to be and what has it accomplished? Let's review, the U.S. economy has pit fallen to a point where the U.S. dollar is now worth less than the Canadian dollar, hundreds if not thousands of families have lost their children who are serving in the war, the U.S. is in such a debt that we probably won't be able to ever pay back, and just to add to the topping the Al Qaeda are still out there causing havoc everyday. Have we really solved anything? I do not think so.
3.) Incorporating Language in U.S. schools
I know that immigration is higher than ever in the U.S. these days, but I feel that it should not mean that we have to shape the country to fit them. My parents were immigrants and came to the U.S. in the 80's, yet they had to find it in their own determination and hard work to fit in the economy. Nowadays, with so many translations and benefits, immigrants don't even have to lift a finger. It really upsets me that there are language translations in public school textbooks. If you come to America, you should learn to read and write English.
4.) Texting while driving
Now my opinion may be a bit controversial to most people my age probably because I don't drive or text that much. But, even so, I still don't believe that people should be allowed to text and drive at the same time. Is there really that much to say to a friend in the span of driving to the grocery store? Is it really worth taking your eyes off the road and endangering hundreds of other lives just to tell somebody that joke you heard earlier that day? Why can't people wait until they are out of the car and out of harm's way to text? I don't agree at all why people should be able to text in the car while driving.
