Hi Martin! You are so right, cyber bullying is a big issue. However, I would like to hear why you think limiting school speech will eliminate cyber bulling? Does that mean schools can only limit online speech? If so, is that a violation of the First Amendment? This a really good start, but I think you need to expand on why schools limiting speech…[Read more]

Hey Leo! You bring up a lot of good points about the faults of America. We have experienced and continue to experience lots of hatred and discrimination, which is a very disheartening as an American. Because of this, many people have a negative view of our country. However, I don’t know if you will ever get a truly perfect nation like you suggest…[Read more]

Hi Anika! I found your post extremely interesting because I hadn’t known just how many problems TSA was having. These are serious concerns and I appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Your suggestion to look to other countries for guidance and follow by example is probably the best way we can handle these issues in my opinion. If we…[Read more]

Hi Teo! The topic of diversity in America and how it has affected our lives and culture is extremely interesting. I love the connection you make to fear of the unknown and diversity, because ultimately people like being comfortable and we certainly find comfort in people who are like us. I would like to hear if you have any suggestions on how we…[Read more]

Hi Konrad! I love this post because it’s something that I find very intriguing about the United States. We have so many core values that our nation was built on that still prevail today. I love how you explained self-determination, religious freedom, and equal opportunity, because these are all aspects we see in our daily life. However, I’d be…[Read more]

Audrey, this is a particularly engaging topic considering the position myself and many of my friends are in with regards to paying for college. I like the comparison with Australia because it points out the similarities between the two countries and how we can use them as an example. I would be curious to know if you think that there’s potential…[Read more]

Amani, this post is incredibly informative. I too have been a part of many discussions over the effects of video games on the behavior of kids today. You make an important distinction about the question that should be asked. Surely violent video games don’t make people directly more violent, but just how much do they affect how children’s thoughts…[Read more]

Hi Audra! I love this post about what it means to be American to you. One line that especially hit me was, “If we could just unify the country by continuing to listen to opinions and have those difficult conversations while still being respectful of each other, then I believe we would have a more improved country for everyone.” I think what this…[Read more]

I also don’t think that we all need to agree on something. It’s important to have different views in order to have an open mind. I would be interested to hear what you think about this article, which argues that the United States have never been divided.…[Read more]

I especially like how you point out the irony of parents not getting their children vaccinated. It provides a new insight on the topic that I hadn’t heard before. I would be interested to hear what you think of this article, which talks about how people are losing trust in vaccines.…[Read more]

Brooklyn,
You make some very important claims in this post, but without many facts to back it up. Next time, I suggest sprinkling in some evidence to support this idea. In addition, it might be beneficial to add something more than just an opinion, like give suggestions for remedies of this issue or identify other causes. It’s a good start though.

This is a very well put together assertion, Sante. You have plenty of information to back up your point that makes you a reliable author. However, I think that you need to cite more of your sources and the ones you do cite need to be claimed by a website or author. Other than that, this is really good.
