Joshua, I really like this. I have never heard of Alice Walker or her stories, but I loved what I read. She seems to be in touch with her soul and speaking the truth about society and humanity. I like how you used her analogy to bring up an...

Seiji, this seems like a really interesting research project. I find it interesting because often times you don't hear about the corruptness in baseball as it is more of a low-key sport compared to football and basketball. I like the different ways you found that are being used to...

This Kind of Discrimination Is Okay? View Comment

Naomi, this post is personal, effective, and strong. I admire that you decided to write about your personal experience that ties into the problem of discriminatory immigration. I am currently writing a research paper on bias in immigration and reading this article really helped. This helps me prove a...

Siena, I think this is a really interesting topic. I had never even heard of hyperthymesia. I find it interesting how you gained a new insight and inquiry about your topic from ebsco. Good bullet points, I feel like I have a good understanding of this article. I am...

Prison Life View Comment

Giselle, I find this very interesting. I never really considered the state of prisoners and whether or not they get treated fairly. I think this is very interesting and important. I like how you found out facts about prison life and then correlated them yourself with psychological issues. I...

Jee, interesting article. It is hard for me to distinguish your thoughts in this post, but I guess that might be the point. I think your thoughts are very jumbled and confusing and yes, indeed, it is important to find a thesis. Your opening paragraph was very confusing and...

Death Penalty in the U.S. View Comment

  • December 12, 2016

Mae, great post! I am currently reading Dead Man Walking and am chilled to the bone. Death penalty is highly debated and a huge contrevarsy in the United States. I thought one of your strongest points was innocence. It is slightly terrifying to know innocent men have been put...

Hi Lauren, I love this article. Quality of education is dropping around the nation and I believe this is an important issue. I love how you researched this topic and backed up your thesis with solid evidence. In the first paragraph you mentioned that kids are disengaged, but why?...

Hi Mason, I like this post. It sounds like you are passionate about skiing, as am I. You make valid points, but there are a lot of distracting surface errors. I suggest next time proof reading because the grammar is a bit off and distracts me from your main...

Seiji, I very much enjoyed this article on education. I liked how you brought to attention a topic that so often gets undermined and forgotten. Education is very important and the lack of attention it gets shows in the poor education standards of the United States. I think bringing...

National Parks View Comment

Ben, this is a great article. The national parks are a great asset in the United States and many people undermine the problems they are facing. It doesn't occur to many that sometime in the future there may be no national parks. I think it's great that you addressed...

Ramazan, I think this is an interesting article. Obesity and being overweight is a huge problem within the United States so the question does come up diet or exercise. I like how you gave a solid example of why exercise alone is not sufficient, but what about whether diet...

More sleep please View Comment

  • November 22, 2016

I think this article is great because it really speaks to every single teenager running on 4-7 hours of sleep due to extracurriculars, testing, and homework. It looks like you have mapped out the pros and the cons really well but I might just add that maybe teachers shouldn't...

Hi Nicole, great concept of having our future president protect women's rights. I full heartedly agree that we deserve to get treated better. I think to make this a little better possibly you could give examples of how we are treated unequally and how might we fix it. This...

Why is the U.S so unfair these days? View Comment

  • October 30, 2016

Hi Marianne, I think this article is very creative in that you decided to use a letter format to address two huge issues that need change. I agree that there are critical issues such as police brutality against african americans and bullying over social media but have you considered...

I think this is a really interesting post because physician assisted suicide is a huge controversy in the states. I like your stance of including different politicians opinions on this issue, Joey. I side with Hilary Clinton's opinion that she believes "that these are the types of decisions that...

Are we becoming desensitized to rape? View Comment
  • @sbrandeburg
  • September 16, 2016

I completely agree with this post. It does appear as if society is becoming desensitized to rape which is extremely scary. The next question I think is to research how many cases of rape are undocumented and pushed to the side, how many rape cases are filed a year...

Happiness View Comment

  • September 16, 2016

Happiness is a hard concept to define and even to say what it is. I think your research is great and generally, yes, all of these keys to happiness could potentially work. What I think is missing is the aspect of cultural differences in this global world we live...
