Hi Sergio,
I agree that the US is doing an awful job when it comes to immigration. There’s too much political conflict and an inhumane attitude towards immigrants. We need to focus on how to help immigrants, not how to contain them or close our borders. The US is made up of immigrants, and it’s important that we help immigrants become citizens…[Read more]

Hi Asnica,
I really like your argument. I never thought I would miss going to school normally but I miss it now. Its good for your mental health to interact with others and have a sense of structure in what you have to do. I find it difficult to maintain motivation during this time, even more than I did when I was in school. One good thing about…[Read more]

Hi Matthew,
Good post. Its really good to hear that young people are standing up against the most significant threatening issue of our time. Even with the activism, billionaire fossil fuel executives are still being given tax cuts and politicians are still not taking action to help in the crisis of climate change. There’s a movement thats…[Read more]

It gives everyone else a different perspective on being afraid of the police, who are supposed to make everyone feel safe, rather than trusting them.

Right now, Thunberg is asking the media to give her less attention and other climate activists more attention because she gets all of the media…[Read more]

Hi Emanuel,
Your post is quite interesting, especially how you shared your personal experience. This article I found presents some statistical information about immigration that you might find useful with the questions you asked in your post: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/17/key-findings-about-u-s-immigrants/.
Your post was really…[Read more]

Good point. It makes sense that nothing gets done in the federal government because people are too polarized and therefore cannot work together to make decisions or fix things. I found a good article that describes a fundamental cause of political and social division creating a gridlock:

Hi Maggie,
It’s a really striking phenomenon that our generation has such a high rate of mental illness and suicide. I found another article that compares our rates of loneliness with those of previous generations, and Gen Z has the highest rate of loneliness compared to past generations:…[Read more]
