Gun violence is a fixture in American life - but the issue is a highly political one, pitting gun control advocates against people who are fiercely protective of their right to bear arms. Every mass shooting in the U.S. raises calls for better policies to prevent such tragedies. There's evidence suggesting that certain kinds of laws may reduce deaths from mass shootings, say scientists who study the field — but those policy options are not the ones usually discussed in the wake of these events. What are we to do?
Will Smith slapped Chris Rock a year ago. I'm still smarting. Where's our apology? Each day, Black professionals take on the obligation to conduct ourselves in ways that don't feed those who need little prompting to question not merely our qualifications – but also our legitimacy Academy Awards 2022 Best actor nominee Will Smith smacked presenter Chris Rock in the face with an open hand and shouted a vulgarity at the comedian for making a joke about his wife's appearance at the Oscars ceremony. Chris Rock opens up a year later in his Netflix special. He got his revenge.
French fries have long been embraced by American cuisine (despite being stolen from overseas). In France, the French like to claim fries were invented by Parisian chefs who created the recipe just before the onset of the French Revolution. Fries are available at almost every fast food chain in the states. From Wendy's to McDonald's to Burger King, there's an opportunity to get a side of fries. But whether that potato is cut into zigzags, shaved into curls, or finely julienned into matchstick-size pieces, everyone has an opinion on which shape is the tastiest. When it all comes down to it, preference for french fry shape is usually based on how crispy, crunchy, and dippable a fry is produced by a particular potato-cutting method.
Mental health means striking a balance in all aspects of your life: social, physical, spiritual, economic and mental. Reaching a balance is a learning process.

Your personal balance will be unique, and your challenge will be to stay mentally healthy by keeping that balance.
Throughout my educational and life experience, I have learned the importance of parental involvement in a child’s life. The involvement can take many forms: being a role model, instilling good habits, being consistent in discipline, and building good relationships. This can be done by taking the time to nurture a relationship with grace and love. Equipping children in such ways can help them overcome various life challenges.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., suggested that there may be a constitutional right to abortion baked into the 13th Amendment — an area she said went unexplored by the Supreme Court in its momentous decision last year overturning Roe v. Wade.
Another victim with a different name - Tyre Nichols. The newly released videos of his police beating captured the brutality that his family and authorities had already foreshadowed: He was punched and kicked while being restrained. He pleaded to go home and repeatedly yelled for his mom. As a nation, when will we truly learn from these seemingly constant issues of mistreatment at the hand of authorities - entrusted to protect.
Recent studies have confirmed what most of us have already figured out. People aren’t going to church the way they used to. Attendance and involvement are down across every denomination and in every demographic. No age group, no ethnic group, no area of our country has been immune from this new reality.
Everyone has to come together and recognize that violence against our police officers is intolerable just as violence in other parts of our communities is intolerable as well.

Liberals and activists want to defund the police. But what do communities of color want - in the wake of rising crime? Communities of color do not want to defund the police. They want to defund liberals and activists that are nowhere to be found when there children are murdered by criminals - that also want to defund the police, so they can prey on the innocent. Defund stupidity!
A ‘born and bred racist’ recounts his life in the 1960's evangelical church and how books and experiences changed his thinking.

The Supreme Court just overturned one of the most famous and controversial rulings in modern history. A five-justice majority of Republican appointees ruled that Roe v. Wade and a following case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, were wrongly decided. It’s a political earthquake - one that will reverberate for months and years to come.

The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects people against unreasonable searches and seizures. Public school students have constitutional rights just like everyone else. However, certain rights are limited. The right against unreasonable searches and seizures is one such right that faces some restrictions and/or limitations. Let's discuss it with Tanisha Miller.
The Fourth Amendment requires the government to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause prior to conducting a search of people or their things. We will discuss what this means via the United States Supreme Court case of Terry versus Ohio.
Roe v Wade is the court decision that protects the right to an abortion in the US up to the point a fetus can survive outside the womb, widely regarded as 24 weeks gestation.

Let's explore the pros and cons of abortion. Your thoughts?
The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776 by Thomas Jefferson. It was a list of grievances against the king of England intended to justify separation from British rule, and it expressed "self-evident truths" of liberty and equality. Let's explore it from another perspective.

Reading an accused his rights is now an ingrained part of law enforcement procedure and considered integral to protecting everyone’s Fifth Amendment rights, but it wasn’t always that way. History is loaded with examples of coerced confessions, dating back to the Spanish Inquisition and even earlier to the Roman Empire. Today, we often take the protections afforded by our Bill of Rights for granted, including our Fourteenth Amendment due process rights and our Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
In 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld state-imposed racial segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson, a civil rights case involving Louisiana train cars.

Federal voting rights legislation died in the Senate on Wednesday night after Democrats failed to unite their caucus behind a plan to change the filibuster rule, which would have allowed them to circumvent GOP opposition to the bill. Had a simple majority vote been allowed to advance the bill, its passage would have undoubtedly been successful. But Republicans blocked the voting rights bill using the filibuster, which enables 40 senators to block any piece of legislation they disagree with. The "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is an open letter written on April 16, 1963, by Martin Luther King Jr. It says that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and to take direct action rather than waiting potentially forever for justice.

Arbery’s killing came amid a heightened national reckoning on race and racial justice in the wake of several killings of unarmed Black Americans. What can we take away from the Arbery case amid this larger landscape of the intersection of race and the U.S. justice system.
Colorism? A practice of discrimination by which those with lighter skin are treated more favorably than those with darker skin, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. But is it still a thing?

Here are my top ten movies starring Denzel Washington.

Workplace bullying is harmful, targeted behavior that happens at work. It might be spiteful, offensive, mocking, or intimidating.

For many of us, math is a difficult subject to thoroughly comprehend. There is one correct answer for any given equation, and when students are unable to reach the conclusion, it can be a discouraging feeling.
