Police Brutality?

There are many police out there abusing citizens before even being proven guilty. Is the health of our country's citizens valuable? How would you feel if a police officer injured you during an arrest where you may not have even done anything wrong? Do you see police brutality as a problem in today's society?

Is Advertising taking over America?

In today's day-in-age, advertising seems to be every you look. It is nearly impossible to get away from. You are even starting to see more and more advertisement in T.V shows and movies. With this in mind, do you think that advertisement is starting to get out of control? If not, how or why do you think the commercials are effectively reaching audiences to buy their products?

Should Public Schools have to Compete with Private Schools

Should public schools have to compete with private schools such as Brother Rice, DCD, St. Marys to name a few in athletics. All of the private school powerhouses "recruit" with scholarships and much more things to bring talented athletes to their schools and away from their "home" school. So, why should public schools have to compete with private schools in sports when private schools have the dominant advantage. This should be changed private schools should have to compete with private schools and public schools should continue to compete with public schools. Then, afterwards public school should get cracked down on recruiting. Harrison high school is known to offer its football student athletes apartments so that they can pass the residency requirement. Things like this need to stop so we have a "purer" more fair game.

Obamacare

If a young adult in not insured under their parents insurance at the age of 25. Then that young person is required to pay $10 a day, $30 a month, and $3600 a year. Why is this necessary for a college student, or similarily aged American, who barely ever goes to the doctor. Can you imagine that this group of people can even afford the extra strain on their financial situation.(I know I cant)

Gender Roles in Society



Do you think that gender roles in society are changing from traditional ways? Also, how have things changed from 60 years ago to the present? 
 

NFL SAFETY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdhS-t1F83o No longer can running backs protect themselves and "lay the hits". Why does the nfl do this because in the end arent they supposed to make money. I cant imagine lowering the "excitement" of football can help promote and make money for the league or the sport. But, the adverse effects of this is we will see more and more soft tissue injuries such as knees, shoulders and elbows. Because more and more players will be "hitting" low and less "brain injury" and more physical injury. How will the league respond to this.
