Pay Check To Paycheck (Extra Credit)

I finally had the chance to watch "Paycheck to Paycheck" , based on a women Katrina Gilbert. She is a mother of three. She lives in Chattanooga ,Tenn. She makes her living by working as a Certified Nursing Assistant . She does that by only making 9.49 per hour.  She mainly works as a care taker for the elderly . And she cant make any time for her three kids.She didn't make enough money to give them any birthday present or anything.All those bills pile up, and the only thing that is helping her is that she believes going to school and after this storm this all will get better. .Its sad to say but, Last week Bill Moyers and his band of merry truth sayers issued a staggering report: Bonuses allotted by firms on Wall Street in 2013 could “cover the cost of more than doubling the paychecks for all of the 1,085,000 Americans who work full-time at the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.” And yet there is no change in pay raise. Maybe its not much for some family but its really awful for families that have to live off one parent . I had the privilege of living that life when my mother lost her job. It was really awful , and i would never want to live a life like that .

Response to Abortion should be LEGAL

On Friday, April 25, 2014 on my fellow blogger wrote a superb article on the legalization of abortion. My fellow blogger, ZHIMIAO went in to full discussion on why we should make it legal. First of all, every life is worth cherishing. It matters the same if the unborn child comes into this world planned, or by a mistake. 

Just to summarize what my fellow blogger; we should make abortion legal. There are many reasons for not making it legal, but here are some important points that u should see. It should be legalize if the mother's health is in Jeopardy. It’s not risking letting one person die to save another. Even though the unborn child is innocent, it's not worth keeping the child alive. The child might end up dying facing the real world.  The real world is harsh, with no mother to take care of the baby. Secondly being a mother should be a choice. It's a women’s right to bear a child of their own. Not just getting handed one. The unborn child who may or may not be treated with love or respect he/she deserves. The mother wasn't ready to bear a child. Besides the few that I have mentioned previously, there are a lot of factors that comes in to play. 

My fellow blogger showed some really facts and points of why it should be legalized. His point does hold their values. And they are very accurate. I highly recommend if anybody wants to read more on this amazing topic, they should check out the blog my buddy provided to us. 

I truly believe this blog was really meant of the younger generation. It’s up to them and us to make a change. If I can save one life at a time, I will be very grateful. Our future generation hold key for a better future and more happiness.

Civil Rights Summit (Extra Credit)

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter was the  keynote speaker on the first day of the Civil Rights Summit at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. It was just a pleasure watching him. He is a genuine down to earth human being that god ever created. He was according to me one the best President so far, to be have elected to run this awesome country of ours. In the library the former President was given a couple of hard topic to discuss; like gay marriage, segregation, emigration etc. The President tackled all the topics like a champ. He was always against segregation and slavery from the beginning. And when he was given another hard topic to tackle such as gay marriage, he didn't even hesitate to support the gay community. He believes in love, and doesn't care where it comes from. He doesn't look at gender, color or race.  I was really excited to watch Jimmy Carter. I am glad I had the chance to see, and hear his thoughts and believe.
