Domestic violence is a very serious matter and should not be taken lightly. And what is even more serious is making sure that the woman trying to get away from the situation has some place to go, and is mentally stable once she leaves. It takes a woman a lot of courage to say she will leave her abuser, but so much more courage to actually follow through with it (“Why doesn’t”). So once she builds up this courage where does she go? A women’s shelter. Continue reading

Not many 20-year-olds can say “I’ve worked in a pharmacy for four years.” At my job I have learned a lot about prescription regulations, including the proper procedures for how to handle scheduled drugs. There should be better regulations and thorough doctor examinations when it comes to doctors writing prescriptions, especially for scheduled drugs. In addition, the public needs to know the penalties for committing prescription fraud. Doctors and pharmacists needs to work to together to alert the public to this issue and prevent prescription fraud. Continue reading

Same sex marriage is a hot topic. The main argument for those that are against it seems to be that it will ruin the sanctity of marriage. I was raised in a Christian home, from a conservative family, but I can see that using “sanctity of marriage” as a reason for not allowing same sex marriage is wrong. Continue reading

There is a category of laws called Breed Specific Legislation, otherwise known as BSL. BSL is “laws or policies which are directed towards a single dog breed or a limited number of dog breeds, while other breeds are excluded from said law/policy. BSL mainly regulates breeding and owning of specific breeds, especially the so called ‘pitbull-type’ dogs” (“Breed Specific Legislation”). Among the dogs that are considered under this law are the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, and Boston Terrier.

Everywhere in America there are children going to bed without being told goodnight, that they are loved and that someone hopes they sleep well. These children would do almost anything to be in a loving home with loving parents. This is why I believe that people should adopt children in America from America.

Often times, if you turn on your TV, grab a newspaper, or listen in on a radio station’s report, you hear about school shootings and massacres. The news is depressing, and it raises serious questions about safety in schools. Many suggest that arming teachers would help protect students; however, it is a terrible idea to change current laws for teachers to carry or conceal guns in schools. Continue reading
