Miles commented on the post, Are You a True American?
I believe that values such as individualism define American ideals and values, however, they are often not available for every human being in this country. Minorities have to fight much harder to reach the level to achieve the ability to act on their individualistic rights to be successful and gain respect from their community.

Miles commented on the post, A Sports Dilemma: Controversial Team-names and the Indigenous Community
This was an interesting article to read because I’ve been fascinated by the recent sports- name changing controversy across all leagues in the U.S. The surge to change the Washington Redskins name was going around for over 20 years before the official change of the name that emerged from the madness of 2020. It interests me what native American…Read More

Miles commented on the post, Breaking the Stigma surrounding ADHD
This post was relatable and interesting to read. During the quarantine of this pandemic, I was felt it more difficult to stay focused or care about my schoolwork when stuck at home every day. ADHD is an important issue because it is often perceived as a fake disorder because teenagers can make it as an excuse for being lazy or unmotivated,…Read More

Miles commented on the post, Are you considered an adult when you turn 18?
I agree that the age of 18 is the official mark of adulthood based off your points, that you can drive, vote, be enlisted into the military, be on a jury, etc. I feel that the drinking and gambling age limit should be on the same level because if they started to be treated like an adult at the age of 18, you deserve all the adult rights that are…Read More

Miles commented on the post, What Does it Mean to Be an American?
I agree with you on that Freedom, Liberty, and Equality are all the desired American values however, it would be interesting if you could expand on how these American values are demonstrated today within politics and social society. Also, it would be interesting to see on a study with a large scale of American citizens with different diverse…Read More

Miles, that was interesting to read. I liked how you were able to break down the events of Trump pulling America out the Paris Agreement and what his plans were going forward in terms of the environment. Because of what you said about what our government is doing with the environment, I think it would be interesting to see organizations are doing in terms of climate change. This article from NASA could be helpful in with finding information about this: https://climate.nasa.gov/nasa_science/history/. This is a good post and I look forward to seeing what you may write about what is being done about climate change outside of our government.

Miles commented on the post, Crisis in Syria
I know that relations between the Syrian and U.S governments were suspended in light of the start of the Syrian civil war but according to this article I found from BBC News https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35806229, where since 2012, the U.S has given non lethal assistance to rebel groups in Syria who want democracy in their country…Read More

Miles commented on the post, Should Marijuana be Legalized?
I agree with you that there has been insufficient evidence to support the ban on marijuana and needs to be a better way to research the causes and effects of the use of marijuana for people. It shouldn’t be treated as dangerous or more than meth amphetamine or any highly addictive drugs. People should have the right to learn to use marijuana in…Read More

I agree with everything you are saying and I would like to add that corporations produce just about everything we buy, use, and throw away and play an outsized role in driving global climate change. A recently published report identified that 100 energy companies have been responsible for 71% of all industrial emissions since human-driven climate change was officially recognized.

I think that this post is very interesting and scary. Climate change is growing very fast and this is scary for the future of our environment. The fact that all ice on earth is going to melt by the year 2100, is a very sad fact. I know you mentioned that fossil fuels need to phase off, but can you think of any other ways to save our environment and stop climate change? Here is an ad for 100 ways to end climate change that might help. https://landing.pachamama.org/climate-change-solutions-course?utm_term=climate%20change%20solutions&utm_campaign=Drawdown+Online+Course&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_tgt=kwd-294757895902&hsa_grp=81537677881&hsa_src=g&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_mt=b&hsa_ver=3&hsa_ad=381292798683&hsa_acc=3809916187&hsa_kw=climate%20change%20solutions&hsa_cam=6486018216&gclid=CjwKCAjwlID8BRAFEiwAnUoK1VIUggnC9gjbFDjhHt_nrNxgogHh4Bj481EsJxql4sLxPdsFdOm2hxoCiKsQAvD_BwE

I agree with your argument completely. Everything you said was true and terrifying. Our climate is changing and heating up at an alarmingly rapid pace. I think what you said about how it’s not only damaging our climate but how it is so damaging to our health was an important statement. A surprising amount of people on this planet simply don’t care about it and how we are running it because it will not likely affect them in their lifetime. Do you think that if more people knew how bad it is for us they would care more and do more things to help our world?

I agree with your argument Miles. I think you started your argument very strongly using numbers and facts. As we learned in class this is the use of pathos and even logos appealing to emotions and using numbers and facts. I think a big key part your article is missing is citing the source and providing links in the text to make it easier for you and the reader. But other than that I think you presented a good argument on how the world should see climate change more.

How Can We Combat Climate Change Without Hurting the Economy?
- October 19, 2020
This was a very interesting piece to read. I thought that you structured this writing in a very strategic manner, and the information you used seemed to be very reliable and persuasive. I really like how towards the end you made that the point that “strong economy and the push for clean energy go hand and hand.” I agree with this statement because jobs in the fossil fuel industry will be replaced with jobs in the green energy industry, as well as creating millions of additional jobs.
