IHSS HW: Blog Voting Survey

I have chosen three people to analyze, picked for their party affiliation. EMOTIONAL FRAGILITY, Green, and Libertarian. The topics I picked are Government mandated masks and government LGBTQ protection. So, starting off I would like to say that, not all three agree on one thing, also, the two questions, despite the expected answer for both being agree, the majority for government-mandated masks is disagree. It is interesting how the green and libertarian parties seem to agree on LGBTQ rights, but disagree on masks, while the EMOTIONAL FRAGILITY party seems to disagree with everything. Finally, both the Libertarian and Green party people seem to be in the LGBTQ+ community. I think this is because of the way the democrat and republican parties are not as welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community, as well as different or “radical” ideas, and therefore many people that think differently or act differently go to the other parties, which is why those parties exist, although the two people from the green and libertarian parties both have high degrees, one with a doctorate and one with a Ph.D.


About the survey, I think that most of our questions were pretty good, and though the multi-choice answers were slightly biased toward the expected answers of our IHSS communities, not leaving much room for opposing ideas. I also think that we should have found a way to spread this forum to different races, seeing as we got a majority of white/caucasian opinions, ending in a strong amount of democrats and people with bachelor’s degrees. Finally, I think that we should have had some kind of filter that tracks if people selected all of one stance, despite the question, that way we could deter people from inputting false information.

Civil Rights Issues in Syria - Alex Gross

  Alex Gross Mr. Roddy IHSS 6 April 2021 Civil Rights in Syria Syria, the densely populated country in the Middle East which is home to over 17 million people is plagued with a plethora of different Civil Rights issues and violations. The issues in Syria range from unlawful killings and assassinations, to excessive deployment of government forces. There have also been hundreds of articles in the past few years surrounding the Syrian refugee issues, which says a lot about the status of corruption in the country. An article from the Atlantic Council that was published yesterday (April 5th, 2021) goes into detail about another aspect of the difficulties of life in Syria; the economic struggle. The citizens of Syria are forced by the government to pay ridiculous amounts of money to exit and enter the country, renew passports, and quarantine due to covid. In-turn, this causes the citizens to be less likely to leave the country, despite its many issues. This problem is exacerbated by ...

Arkansas' Anti-trans bill

  Isa Pedersen  Mr. Roddy  IHSS 9 April 2021 Arkansas’ Anti-trans bill  For centuries the trans community was discriminated against. But recently Arkansas passed a bill that highly affects trans rights and healthcare. The bill states that trans individuals are not allowed to get gender affirming surgeries. This included hormones such as testosterone and androgen, as well as puberty blockers. This is said to be one of the most detrimental bills passed against the trans community in ages. Not only this but some states have already passed bills that don't allow trans kids to take part in sports or competitions. These states include Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Tennessee and Alabama are already starting to get the same bill passed. Texas is on the list that is assumed to follow Arkansas and pass the bill as well. Certain cities were able to make bills that heavily discriminate against the trans community, but states have never passed bills this big before. The...

The Pandemic has Been Bad for Civil Rights - Andy

Andy Walsh Mr. Roddy IHSS 6 April 2021 The Pandemic has Been Bad for Civil Rights  The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of challenges to today’s society. However, in Latin America it is an even bigger issue. Across all of Latin America, the health crisis has been accompanied by civic disruptions causing the lack of communication and justice in civic spaces. Widespread quarantines and lockdowns have put a lot of stress on the civic system of all countries. However, countries with high poverty and large homeless populations have had trouble enforcing rules related to COVID. The lack of enforcement and communication have caused many issues in these countries. “ The measures taken in response to the pandemic have restricted civic spaces at local, national, regional and even international levels. The situation is alarming to the international community in general, and to the international rights community in particular.” (Andrés Serbin ). COVID has brought the need for governments...
