For my analysis, I'll be comparing the question "With what party do you most affiliate with" and "How much do you agree with a government-mandated vaccine." The amount of people who responded with the Democratic Party was 59.5%, while 19% responded Republican. With these being the most important groups, there was also 7.1% who responded Independent party. After seeing a much bigger group who responded Democratic, I thought that the results would turn out leaning towards one side. Turns out I was mostly right. 26.2% strongly agreed, 29.4% agreed (around 55.6% said yes), 18.3% disagreed, 12.7% strongly disagreed, and 13.5% neutral. After taking a look at the sheet, I found out that Democrats were almost all against the vaccine and even some Republicans chose the same. This question is one where I think that party affiliation has very little to do with what you choose. This question is also guided towards disagreeing because of the way we wrote it, "Government-Mandated" as in mandatory. most people believe that they should have the right to say yes or no to getting a vaccine, not even really knowing what's inside. 


One thing we could have done better was to make it clear that the only people that were supposed to answer this survey were 18 years and older. Even the smallest percentage, such as 3%, could affect the way the votes turn out. I think the reason to this was that we didn't clarify well enough that it should've been 18yrs and older. One other thing that we could've done was take some more time to spread out the word and maybe have gotten it out farther than just our neighborhoods.

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...
