Blog Stage Six: Responce to Colleague

Image
On Thursday, July 27, 2017, an argument titled Give Youth a Voice was posted from the blog Young Minded Perspective of the U.S. The author makes the argument that the youth, particularly 16 and 17-year-olds, should be granted the ability to vote. She elaborates on this topic by describing how the young are well educated at this time because they are enrolled in school. She also points out that the media plays a substantial role in educating the youth. She continues by stating that the government gives these 16 and 17-year-olds responsibilities, that they are caregivers, sometimes tried as adults in court, can legally drive and able to start their own businesses. According to the author, these points make a valid argument as to why teenagers should be able to vote. I disagree with the author, I believe the voting age should begin at the age eighteen. There are many reasons I am convinced that the age to vote is set at a reasonable scale. Yes, 16 and 17-year-olds are currently enrol...

Blog Stage Eight: Pro-life

In her Blog Stage 7 post , Hailey Casey of the blog Politics Around the United States argues about how she is pro-choice. She makes serval points as to why she believes abortion should be legal. For example, she claims that if a woman has been raped then she should be able to have an abortion. Hailey believes it should be easier for women to get an abortion and that they shouldn’t be questioned about their decision. She also believes it is not up to the father to make that decision. I would have to disagree with Hailey. First, murder is illegal. The definition of murder is “the unlawful killing of another human being without justification or excuse.” I believe an embryo is the first stage of life. For example from the textbook Medical Embryology, "The development of a human being begins with fertilization, a process by which two highly specialized cells, the spermatozoon from the male and the oocyte from the female, unite to give rise to a new organism, the zygote."

Blog Stage Two: The Trumps

Ivanka Trump briefly sits in for her father at G20 session, is the title of the article CNN published on Saturday, July 8 th . This headline is more than likely popping up on everyone's newsfeed, but I encourage you to read the article. Ivanka Trump not only appeared as a "diplomatic advisor" but also took her father's place during a meeting with world leaders. Ivanka Trump has neither the knowledge nor skills to assist at this important meeting. She should not have been there; she was unelected and unqualified for the job. On the other hand, I do support the initiative Trump is putting forth to involve his children in important roles. However, like everything else with importance, there is a time and place and a meeting with significant world leaders was neither the time nor place. Another high note about this topic is the promotion of women empowerment, but her ignorance in diplomatic issues makes her the wrong woman for the job.
