Climate change economics

The article that I read was about how different people's opinions are not easily changed by information, but become stronger. When providing further information about a topic, research shows that individuals will become more confident in their opinion and believe that their standpoint is correct. This evidence is shown in any discussion between two people, or two parties, or organizations where both parties disagree with each other and have opposing opinions. One example of this is between the people that think that climate change is real and those who do not. The author encourages the reader to identify and analyze the other person's skeptics about the topic. This is much more effective rather than continue to argue and provide more information along the same lines and the information that you just applied. In the critical, the reader encourages others to provide this tactic to the issue of climate change. Recently climate change hasn't been getting as much attention that it should. Because a large percentage of people believe that climate change is fake and isn't a big problem for our economy, the world hasn't been able to address the issue. If we start applying this to our personal discussions and to the government's discussions about climate change we can apply these economical tactics to our standpoint that climate change is a real issue and It needs to be addressed as soon as possible. 

Climate change is a very big issue that is greatly impacting our society whether we decide to recognize it or not. in order to work towards fixing the situation, we all need to be on the same page. I think that this method of discussion about important topics is very interesting and I will differently be applying this to any arguments or discussions with a person that doesn't have the same standpoint as myself.

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...
