Voting Survey Analysis 

I think that there are a few things that we should consider before analyzing the data that we collected. One of the most important things to keep in mind in my opinion is the age of the people who sent out the for ie us and the age of the people who took the form. I think that this is important to look at because there were a lot of people who answered the form who were under the age requirement to vote. This is an issue because it changes the data that would be accurate for the actual election.  I think that one of the main reasons this happened because the students that sent the form out didn't clarify that you must be old enough to vote and because on most of our social media accounts we have people our age as our followers. I think that this can be kept in mind for groups in the future. 

I looked at the data on the question "Do you think men and women are treated equally in the workplace?" and I mainly focused on the 10% of people who voted "there is no inequality". The general age range for the people who answered this question was 18-25 with an exception of one person who answered that they were in the 46-55 age group. Something that is a very important thing to look at is that 98% of those who answered that there was no inequality in the workplace were men. I think that it is interesting to look at compared to the majority of women who said that they agree that there is at least some form of inequality. This is interesting because the question is looking at women's inequality, looking from a men's perspective, it could be harder to see inequality because they might not be affected by it as much as a woman could be. Something to keep in mind is that half of the people who answered this on the form have not yet completed high school, although they have all voted. This question could also be poorly clarified because these people might not have actually seen a real "workplace" and could have been referring to school instead.  I think that this is something that we should be aware of in making our next survey, and if we are going to make a voting survey for students we should make student related questions.

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...
