What is your social issue? Should there be internet censorship in the US.

Why is it such a social issue? What do people disagree about in relation to this topic? Such is a social issue because of the fact that it a violation of the 1st amendment right of US citizens. Many disagree about how censorship may make the internet safer for younger generations to browse the internet.

What is your proposed solution? Why do you think this is the best solution? My proposed solution is to allow harder internet censorships on children’s versions of internet apps, that parents may download for their kids. I believe that such is the best solution because it allows children to browse the internet safely because of the kids version censorships put in place, while allowing teens and adults to browse uncensored version of those apps, keeping their freedoms online.

What are pros to your solution? Pros to the solution are that it allows for adults to use the internet with completely uncensored accesses throughout. Meanwhile, children can still browse the internet, but on a censored and, therefore, safer version of the internet.

What are cons to your solution? Cons to such a solution would be that computer access, which doesn’t use a dedicated app, wouldn’t be censored like the kids version of an app. Another con would be that such a solution adds an extra step to the censoring campaign, making it a bit more over-complicated than other solutions. One other con would be that tech savvy children would be able to download the uncensored app in thee parents don’t have the account for the device set up with parents’ permission required.

Any questions to your audience members for help on your topic?

–  How do you see such a solution playing out in the real world?
–  Would you prefer such a solution to censorship being put in place?

In a majority of states, the death penalty is still used. When polled, a majority (11,643,337 people, 71%) had voted that they had supported the death penalty. Reasons for supporting such may reside in personal experiences. Some of the supporters (11% of supporters) had said that the death penalty should only be used if the crime is heinous enough and the evidence is undeniable. One may support the death penalty because of the amount that it costs to put someone through life in prison; housing a prisoner for 40 years in a Texan prison costs $693,500, all payed from taxpayers. Meanwhile, the minority (4,660,083 people, 29%) had said that they didn’t support the death penalty. Reasons for not supporting the death penalty may reside in the innocent victim mortality rate. Only a few (3% of non-supporters) people believe that spending life in prison is harsher than the death penalty. One may not support the death penalty because a case ending with a death penalty cost $1.26 million from taxpayers. Another reason one wouldn’t support the death penalty is because 4.1% of people put on death row and executed are innocent. Meanwhile 1.6% of people put on death row and executed are guilty. Along with these percentages, a study claims that for every 25 people executed, one of them is innocent. Such means that if everyone in the US was put on the death penalty, 81,077,503 people would be innocent.

This is my Wordle, it contains words like kind, helpful, selfless. Just some basic words to kindly describe oneself without sounding too self-centered. It also contains words like businessman and entrepreneur, words that describe my odd skills in the business world that I’ve seemed to have developed. Such words correlate with the fact that the words shape a money sign, as to further allude to my knack for the business world.
