Whose Job Is It to Fix It?

4/12/2023

Badge, left, and Lander Busse, are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the State of Montana saying it violated the State Constitution that guarantees “the right to a clean and healthful environment.” (Matthew Hamon for The New York Times)

If you could take on one problem facing our world, what would it be and how would you do it?

1. INCLUDE: First Initial, Last Name AND Class Block.

2. Respond in no more than five (5) complete sentences and no less than three (3) complete sentences. (This helps you write more concisely and think more critically.)

3. You MUST comment on at least TWO other posts from any student in any class. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.

4. Set a weekly alarm or calendar timer. Whatever you do to remember other important events, I'd do the same for this assignment.

5. Don't wait until the last minute. Telling me that you didn't do the assignment on Friday because you broke your leg, for example, on Thursday will not do anything for you when you've had a week. Be responsible and accountable.

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school, your family or your upbringing with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not respond AND comment on TWO others, you will not receive credit for this assignment. If you do not write your name correctly, and I don't see your work, you will not receive credit for this assignment. It's all or nothing.

WARNING: If you post even one second past midnight, your comment might appear to be posted, but as soon as it is opened to be graded, it will automatically delete.

If I could take head on one problem facing our world I would take on the disbelief of God. I think that is a major problem. Without God we are destined for destruction with nothing but pain, but with him we are destined for eternal life with lots of undying love, happiness, etc.

M.Banks

As a Christian and a believer in God, I do agree with this comment, but I would also have to disagree because everyone has a different religion and we cannot try and force God upon others if that is not what they believe in if they are living their lives the right way with or without God I feel like they are doing just fine because there are people who do not believe in Christ and to say they will go through pain and suffering without him is absurd but I agree with this comment. A lot of people should keep God in your life but at the same time it’s not necessary to keep God in your life.

J.Thomas 3a

I agree with this comment a lot. While I do believe in God, I also agree that it can't be forced on others. People who don't believe in God have a right to feel how they want, but as far as being disrespectful to the religion that is a problem that needs to be solved.

I like your response, god does have a way of letting you know what you face in your life. It could rely on what you do as a career in your life or getting in a relationship. God has plans for everyone around them, that may deal with lots of disbelief or beliefs they have for each person required to have love or happiness.

As a christian myself, I do agree with the fact that if people would just do things , Christ way, the world would be way better off than it is now. People would not be suffering the way that they do and People would be more mindful of others. But, I don't believe that we should force his agenda to people. Even Christ tells you that. Christ wants you to have a genuine relationship with him. Christ is not a dictator. If you don't want to have a relationship with Christ. Then, that's what you wanna do , so be it. But, as you make that discussion, you also gotta be responsible for that discussion when you die and face him too.

J Melgar 6B link

4/13/2023 01:45:29 pm

For me I would have to both agree and disagree. First off yes I would want to agree because I too believe in god, but on the other hand I would disagree because I feel like people have the right to believe what they want to believe. We shouldn't force relegion on other people if they don't believe in that certain 'god'.

Amaya J 1A link

4/14/2023 09:10:11 am

as a fellow christain i agree with this but we cant force no ones relgion onto ours everybody think diffrently and we would love for everyone to belive in him just not everybody does

M. Fairley 1A

4/14/2023 09:11:12 am

By God I do assume you mean within Christianity. What if someone believes in a different god other than the one of Christians? Or perhaps multiple gods? And if a person weren't to believe in a god, what sure-fire way can confirm that the person in question is subject to damnation? A better problem should be the disrespect people have of others' religious beliefs or lack there of. Of course, this isn't directed towards you but is just a general statement. :)

Leonardo Guzman 1A

4/14/2023 09:49:46 am

I have to agree with this, mainly because we all have a freedom in religion, we shouldn't just be restricted to only one. I myself, when I was in a relationship had my freedom of religion taken away (which I refuse to go further in detail about). We shouldn't be forced into other religions just because a relative or close friend believes in a specific one. Once again we all have our freedom of religion, and we are not restricted, and shouldn't be forced into only one. And this too, isn't directed towards the one you are replying to, it's pretty much a fact, trust me.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

4/14/2023 09:48:25 am

I disagree with this comment, there are many people who aren't believers and live happy lives. There are also people who are believers that are unhappy, very ignorant, and judgmental. This is not to say religion is bad or that a god won't help you, it's to say it won't help everyone. There's also just different religious and spiritual beliefs and we shouldn't force everyone to believe in one thing.

Arrianah Bates 6B

i agree i think a lot of people are looking over this response but this is probably the best one i don't understand why some people really don't believe in god or Jesus but its almost upsetting god is the best thing that could happen to some one he is trustworthy he is timely and he is real god works in diffrent ways and diffrent people the people who dont believe in god are the people who never wnt to him and actually let him deal with it the people who dont pray often people who pray when they only need something at that moment he wont do for you if you dont do for him

J. Givens 2A

4/14/2023 11:55:37 am

I agree with your statement, however if we have already given people the things that will affect them positively and they do not accept it we can do only a small amount of things to help them.

if i could take on one problem faceing our world i would take on racism
i think it should't really mater what race you are because at the end of the day we are all the same no mater what cooler you are because even now there are pepole be treated unfarily and its not right everyone should be treted the way they want to be treated were all the same.

M.banks

4/12/2023 10:17:38 pm

I really appreciate this comment because racism has been going on since the dawn of time and african-Americans were brought here to work under the white man since his time has changed in many different ways, and the anger towards Black people has grown to a different level in my opinion as an African-American I do not feel safe, stepping out of my own home just for the simple fact that race schism is still a thing and is being heavily abused. I still like the color of our skin should not determine how we are treated. Therefore, I completely agree with this comment racism should not be a thing anymore. It should be stripped away.

R. Brown 7B

4/13/2023 12:21:11 am

I completely agree with your response however, I don’t particularly like the fact that you said “it doesn’t matter what race you are because at the end of the day, we are all the same no matter what color”. Yes, everyone should be treating people fairly and with as much respect as you give the next person, but we’re not all the same. Minorities face struggles that non-minorities most likely have never faced and will continue to never deal with throughout their lifetime. Other than that your statement on this issue was very refreshing and educational.

J.Thomas 3a

4/13/2023 09:50:34 am

I agree with this response. Life is already hard as it is but racism makes it 10 times worse. African Americans have to work just that much harder just to prove that they want something good out of life.

James Leslie 1A

4/14/2023 09:40:02 am

i agree with this comment because life is harder when you have to deal with racisim.not just african americans but other racisis experince it to.it all just need to stop

J Melgar 6B link

4/13/2023 01:47:24 pm

I completely agree with you. Racism is something that we've dealt with for a very long time and it's about time we actually do something to fix it. Like you said at the end of they day it doesn't matter the color of our skin because we are all the same, so we should all be treated equally and it about time it happens.

Zariya B. 1A

4/14/2023 10:19:38 am

I agree, racism is a big one to take on. It is major, and if we don't come together as a people we are destined to fall apart. Racism is wrong, and treating people like that says a lot about your character. If we don't fix it it will continue to get worse and worse and cause more problems.

Arrianah Bates 6B

4/14/2023 11:01:55 am

I agree, even though we live in a world filled with hatred, we don't have to be a part of those who contribute to it, or indulge in that way of life.

I agree, racism is one of our top problems in our world and deleting the hatred from our world would make it a better place.

M.Banks

4/12/2023 10:02:40 pm

The most recent problem I will try to get rid of is the government trying to have control over women’s rights and women’s bodies. I think about this almost every single day how women have lost the right to get rid of a babies that weren’t not meant to be. The first thing I would do to put this play in motion is get rid of all the older people in the Supreme Court and put in more of a younger group of people so they can see it how we see it. The world is already going to end one day. Why should we not have freedom over our own bodies? And in my opinion, either feel like women suffer the most because we have to take care of children take care of men take care of homes, work etc. But to answer the question one world problem, I would get rid of is sexualizing and taking away women’s rights over their bodies

R. Brown 7B

4/13/2023 12:16:56 am

I really do love your response to the question. Women not having rights over their own bodies is outrageous. If a young girl was to be involved in intercourse without consent, and got pregnant, she wouldn’t have a right to get rid of the baby. She had a baby forced on her which isn’t fair whatsoever. The only thing is, having young people on the Supreme Court is a little odd. I can see why you said that, because different perspectives on life, so different opinions but I don’t think young individuals are mature enough, nor wise enough to be in that position yet. They also don’t have enough life experience to make those kind of decisions.

Kaydin Lake 3A

4/13/2023 09:36:11 am

I believe that if got raped, molested, incest happened with a family member, etc. She should have the right and option to get rid of the baby. But, if a female is being completely irresponsible with sex, having sex with this dude here and that dude there. And, not making sure to prevent any child from being born by simply wearing a condom. Then, I don't think it's right for that baby to suffer because of your irresponsibility. And, also I'm speaking from Christ's perspective too, as he said, " I knew before you were in the womb." And, I'm going with Christ's answer before I go with the world and society's answer.

S Griffin 3A link

4/13/2023 09:07:09 am

I love your response, women should have the right to have a choice on whether or not they want to have a baby. People should not be trying to force others to do what they want because it's their life not theirs. In this world some people don't understand the importance of letting women do what they please, which is why they have a hard time suffering to have children or work.

M. Fairley 1A

4/14/2023 09:30:33 am

I couldn't agree with you more. The government consists of mostly old, white men and a few brainwashed women who would agree with the laws and orders they're putting in place. These men are sexist, trying to put and keep women down as much as they can. They think of women as a piece of meat and don't want to face the consequences of their actions. Even under normal circumstances, not every woman wants to get pregnant. Pregnancy isn't for everyone. So she should be allowed to terminate her pregnancy just as much as a woman or girl who had been forced upon.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

4/14/2023 09:35:20 am

I agree, it's so infuriating to see the stories that are coming out now because abortion has been banned in certain states. I think just last month there was an 11 year old who gave birth to her rapist's baby, her rapist was also her brother. They literally put that little girl's life in danger, children are not supposed to be birthing children.

zayla f 2a

4/14/2023 10:44:03 am

Yes yes I agree women suffer more than any gender , We have the most to go through especially if you are a hard working woman it will be even harder just to be a girl or a woman is very expensive , or it'll cost it costs to be alive and also the respect , women barley receive respect as much as they should .

R. Brown 7B

4/13/2023 12:10:07 am

As a black female living in America, the one issue I would take on is stopping discrimination. Specifically discrimination within different ethnic groups. In American minorities are one, if not the most oppressed groups. The daily hardships and struggles we have to go through are disheartening. So for us minorities to not be supporting each other is absurd and foolish. Why are we tearing each other down when most of us have already hit rock-bottom. If anything, we should be uplifting one another and not endorsing or promoting racism. We need to stick together. Anyway, how I would stop discrimination between people of color is by going to the root of all problems I would start by eliminating stereotypes from the equation. Many people in society rely heavily on stereotypes when most of it is just hearsay. Another thing I would do is having more involvement/fraternization in various cultures. There are many more things as well, but at the end of the day, they all help to put an end to discrimination within ethnic groups.

m.santos 7b

4/13/2023 08:57:59 pm

We should find why we have stereotypes put on our communities and fix the root of the problem. Without society relying on those stereotypes we can figure out why our comunities are being treated this way. i can't lie and say we are all the same no matter our color because we know we are not. but we all understand how it feels to live through the world being unfair to us.

If I could take on one problem in the world it would be inflation. Inflation is a big thing going on right now, and it's bad because prices are increasing which causes financial hardship for households by income. Some people are not making much money as they usually do, so for this to happen it's like how they're going to feed their families.

E. Adame 2A

4/13/2023 03:55:08 pm

It's crazy how over these last couple of years prices have gone up. Not everyone can afford these things and they shouldn't be left out because of these prices. Nobody should suffer from something they cannot control.

F Garnica

4/14/2023 09:22:05 am

yes i agree with this because everything has gone up this past year but you dont see them paying their employees more. They only rise up the prices but not the pay so with that people are struggling more then what we were already and now the prices are high gas is back at like almost 4$ so i strongly agree with that answer with lowering back prices how they were before.

F. Maltos 3A

4/14/2023 01:00:55 pm

I agree with you because inflation has been going up like crazy. It is affecting us because some people can't afford to buy food and for some people it is harder since they might not get paid as well. I remember for $100 we would be able to buy many groceries and now we only get like 5 things for that amount of money. Which is crazy that we are going through this and hopefully inflation goes down a little because what if it increases in the future I would not imagine how prices would be.

S Griffin 3A link

4/13/2023 08:59:37 am

If I could take on one problem in our world, I would want to change how many global issues are affecting people going to work who are nurses or doctors. It has a wild effect on people who might have a higher chance of getting a contagious disease, like HIV or tuberculosis. Many people do resist getting sick by taking medications, but in the process it might still happen because you're around so many people. It can make it hard for people to get around when they have so many people in the hospital who are sick.

Kaydin Lake 3A

4/13/2023 09:12:19 am

One problem I would fix in the world is the issue of trash in the ocean and everywhere else. Yes, there are other things that I could've said, but I think the issue with trash is something that we overlook and should consider ourselves about. It's harmful to the environment we live in, ecosystems and habitats animals live in, and the ocean that sea life roams in. And, it's not even the fact that it's harmful to us and animals but it looks tacky and nasty to be seeing as you look around. Seeing trash on the side of the roads, highways, freeways, etc. And, nobody is doing much to stop it. We have laws like littering , but nobody enforces it.

K Sheffield

4/13/2023 10:52:10 am

Throwing trash in the ocean is very harmful to the animals and fish there because they can get caught in it or suffocate and die. People should just hold the trash until they get out of it because animals die everyday because of it.

c moore 6b

4/13/2023 05:52:09 pm

i agree with you when we trow things like trash into the ocean it kills and harms the animals that are in there not only that when we trow things like garbage we are hurting the earth so i would take on not polluting the earth

S Griffin 1A

Those poor little sea animals don't deserve all that trash. Especially those itty bitty sea turtles. We need to start being more mindful of the sea creatures.

i agree with this there is a lot of polution in the ocean and seas it is our problem as humans as well we throw trash in the street and somehow tha trash ends up in the ocean also recycling will help out becasue we can melt plastic to make more plastic things

G. Calderon Batista 2A

Yes we need to take more care of our ocean & be mindful of the animals in it.

M Aguilar 2A

4/14/2023 11:42:12 am

I agree with you. We as humans we destroy everything the land/earth has to offer, but we suck at taking care of our earth and giving back to her. There is a lot of pollution in our oceans, most of our fish are dying due to the polution.

Kyanez 3A

4/14/2023 11:52:27 pm

Yes, this is something we as a country should worry upon because it affects our everyday life. If more people were aware of the changes and damages that could happen we would probably be in a better environment.

J.Thomas 3a

4/13/2023 09:55:29 am

If I was to take on 1 problem facing the world, it would be racism. Racism is the enemy of all enemies. No one wants to be disrespected, let alone just because of the color of their skin. Police brutality is a result of racism. Police feel just because of the color of your skin you're up to no good. With police having a shoot first ask questions later mentality. It's really unfair to the people who work hard to want better for their families or just themselves.

K Sheffield 2A

The world is very cruel and disrespectful to people cause of their skin color and race. Its not just to blacks either it happens to mexicans as well. Its very unfair and sad how nobody gets treated equally in this world

E. Adame 2A

What does racism do for people, nothing, it has no value. People think that if they aren't the same color as them, they should be mistreated but when they get mistreated now it suddenly becomes a problem. Racism has no value and justice should be served because people are getting killed just because someone doesn't like the other colors.

One issue in today's society I would try to face is gentrification. Where they push people out of their neighborhood. I would start by helping black people find jobs that pay more, and how to save money.

If I could take on one problem in the world it would be racism. Racism has been a big issue for quite some time now, and it's about time we fix this problem.

One problem I would take on would be violence. Whether it is physically or sexually, nobody deserves to be afraid of how safe they are in this world. It's a sad thing that we don't feel safe when we're being told we'll be okay.

As one who has gone through physical assault, I have to highly agree on this. Out of all the times I've been physically assaulted, no action was taken, even when there was it would always be ineffective or straight up pathetic. People like these have no right to control your own life just for their own personal gain, or even satisfaction, as one who was basically manipulated in a past relationship.

The one problem i would want to fix right now is gun violence in the us because it's becoming the biggest threat to america.It has become a mental toll on teens now from the terrible incidents that has put everyone on edge.

I would highly agree, I think guns should only be legal to people such as the police. It's like making guns legal to anyone of any age, yet people are always wondering why these tragic events happen. Actions must be taken to prevent these from further happening in the near future.

S Griffin 1A

4/14/2023 08:52:24 am

If I could take on one problem in the world, it would be racism. You shouldn't be judged by the color of your skin, but by your actions in life. Being racist to someone can cause more damage to the person more than you think.

As one of the biggest problems in my eyes in today's society i agree with this because they have a bigger issue than most of the issues we have.

R. Aponte link

4/14/2023 09:20:52 am

I see where you are coming from, racism is a big problem. People are damaging each other by not accepting everyone. Individuals need to realize that we should all respect one another.

J Martinez 3a

If i could change one problem in the world it would be poverty of people and children . I think if we fixed poverty that the world would all be equal in a way , but also some homless people or kids in deep poverty are really smart and really talented and just not able to do anything with it because money . Some can be the next best doctor or somthjing like that but they just cant because the money issue .

Jeremiah Bryant

4/14/2023 09:12:39 am

I agree that one of the biggest issues in today's society is poverty which is your way of going about it isn't stated but i agree with your reasoning.

C. Torres 1A

4/14/2023 09:18:37 am

I agree with what you say about fixing poverty. It's true if we fixed poverty everyone would be equal because no one would look down on someone for not having the essentials. It could also give people the opportunities with talent a chance to show what they are made of.

A. Hernandez 5B

4/14/2023 10:04:10 am

I agree, because if we fix poverty every person would be on a even plan field as everybody. We are all equal and should have the same opportunities. Not having money shouldn't stop somebody from chasing their dreams.

R.Suarez 3a

4/14/2023 08:55:30 am

If I could fix one problem it would be violence. I feel that violence should never be a problem, and there is always something we should do besides being violent. It sucks to know that people feel scared in our real world, people shouldn't have to be worried about if they are safe or not.

C. Torres 1A

4/14/2023 09:16:38 am

I agree with what you say about fixing violence. People should be able to go to their local 7-eleven without feeling threatened. And it's unfortunate because violence can always be avoided but it seems as though people are attracted to it.

A. Hernandez 5B

4/14/2023 10:01:24 am

I agree, because violence should never be a problem to deal with. There are many other things that we can do to fix things without using violence. People should feel safe being outside and enjoying nature, nobody should be scared to go outside.

eduardo maso2a

i agree. i happen to write about the same topic and am just disappointed to see our planet get destroyed from the corrupted minds of others.

Khamari Caldwell 1A

4/14/2023 09:01:29 am

The one problem I would face is the way we treat each other. Everyone is so weird about how we act towards another human. They sometimes get teased about things they can't control. For instance, we would laugh at someone just because they don't have a certain type of shoe or how they look. We should all just focus on ourselves and make us better before we judge soneone else.

J blackmon 2A

4/14/2023 11:41:26 am

i agree, we don't know the struggles of others and what they have going on. Instead of being negetive to one another and trying to bring others down we need to bring each other up.

Tutt 2A

4/14/2023 11:42:00 am

I agree people should treat each other better. I agree because we honestly dont know what people go on in their lives your act of kindness could save someone.

M. Fairley 1A

4/14/2023 09:05:13 am

If I could take on one problem in the world, what would it be and how? I would choose hatred. Hatred is an extremely powerful emotion and there have been examples time and time again on the horrors people have done while experiencing it. You can't really get rid of people's emotions, that's not how that works. However, I would try to use information and context. Give people the full story of things and let it sit with them. I can't control what a person feels or doesn't feel. I can only hope to walk them through their thoughts, so they know how they feel and can act accordingly and healthily in response to it.

S Spencer 2A

4/14/2023 11:52:57 am

i agree hatred is a powerful emotion people hate other people for all types of reasons that don't have nothing to do with them

G Hernandez 3A

4/14/2023 02:09:59 pm

I agree, although getting rid of an emotion is something impossible to do, it would end many of our problems we're facing at the moment.

Amaya J 1A link

4/14/2023 09:08:44 am

if i could take any problem away from this world it would be racism becasue racism plays a big role in todays day if you are a african american or a hispanic it is easliy for other people to steryotype you or just be racist in general if you are african american a lot of people like to think otherwise of them also as a hispanic they will think you are just soe drug dealer that came from somewhere else but in reallity we just wanted a better life

V Taylor 6b

4/14/2023 10:51:52 am

I agree with you. I think that its dangerous to continue looking at people the way society says they are. It is unfair to colored people because they are stuck behind some story that people cant realize is only one sided. The more we live off that stereotype, the more any colored person will be put in front of the target.

eduardo maso 2a

4/14/2023 11:06:51 am

i agree racism has been happening for way too long and i sadly still playing a part in todays society.

Jeremiah Bryant

4/14/2023 09:09:21 am

If i could try and solve a big problem going on in our world today it would be racism, because it holds the biggest issue with everyone today. So being a speaker and talking with government officials changing new laws being made while supporting the belief of diversity is a easier way to try and tackle one of the worlds biggest problems as it has people angry and lives being taken.

Amalio Garcia 3A

4/14/2023 12:56:03 pm

I agree, racism is a big problem that we have and has lead to violence against the people, it´s really sad to see happen.

C. Torres 1A

4/14/2023 09:11:40 am

If I could take on one problem facing our world it would be facing climate change. I would face climate change because we are the problem because we burn fossil fuels. This results in temperatures rising, sea level rising, and harder weather. And this can all be taken away slowly by investing in policies to use more renewable energy. Of course easier said than done but this would be one way of getting away from global warming.

m.santos 7b

4/14/2023 10:51:47 am

I completely agree with you but i think that political leaders know what to do but are focusing on the wrong problem. Climate change is an effect of human behavior because economic growth is fuelled by consumer growth. even if it has increased social development it has also led to global warming which is trggering other alarming environment impacts.

K. Romero 2A

4/14/2023 11:36:12 am

i agree. most of the problems we are facing today are man made. Climate change can affect our lives for the worse and not to mention the wilderness. like the willow project, that is just going to make things worse and it should be stopped.

G Hernandez 3A

4/14/2023 02:16:51 pm

I agree, we are the reason our planet is dying and we must invest in change and find alternative solutions to improve our planet's condition.

Kimberly Yanez 3a

4/14/2023 11:50:50 pm

I agree with this because United States is facing climate change and this can be due to people not caring for our environment. Our country can change everyday due to this and if we don’t physically change our ways we might not live the same.

F Garnica 1A

4/14/2023 09:13:57 am

If i could fix one problem here on earth it would be racism,racism is one of the biggest problems on earth right now as we speak.I never got why people act a certain way against others just because of the simple fact of their skin color.So i would get alot of people from all over the world to come together and just show everybody that you dont need to stereotype because of their color skin, just because they have a different color skin doesnt make them any different from you.

V Taylor 6b

4/14/2023 10:41:52 am

I agree with you a lot. I think that this is one of the more major things we need to fix because there are a lot of people at risk because of their skin and some people think it defines the kind of people we are but it doesnt.

S.Samuels 2A

4/14/2023 11:36:03 am

I agree with you that racism is very big problem in this. Although we would love to get rid of racism for one that would be very hard to do and second that would be changing our entire history. Which would change the whole society as we have known it to be.

J. Kamtala 3A

4/14/2023 01:12:18 pm

I agree with you, there's a lot of hate in the world and being hateful towards someone simply because they're a different race or a different color seems silly. Although I don't think getting people together from all over the world would fix anything because that's what the united states is and it still seems like it's a problem.

R. Aponte 2A link

4/14/2023 09:18:02 am

If I could fix one problem it would be gun violence. We should allow people to have guns when they are twenty-one. Make a more detailed background check of their history.

K. Romero 2A

4/14/2023 11:33:23 am

I agree. at age 21 you are more mature and selling a gun to just anyone off the street without a very detailed background check should be illegal. Guns should be taken very seriously.

Amalio Garcia 3A

4/14/2023 12:53:46 pm

I agree, gun violence is a big problem in our society, age requirement and a really thorough background check should be required if the person should be given a firearm.

jkyla dawkins 1a

4/14/2023 09:19:25 am

if i could take a problem away todays world it would be stereotyping. us people of color get stereotyped just because we are who we are. we all have our differences and should be treated that way

zayla f 1a

4/14/2023 10:41:10 am

I agree , even on social media there's always comments about my race doing wrong or explaining how we are , that is something that should change in this world it is still hate against African American's .

Tutt 2A

4/14/2023 11:40:19 am

I agree it happens to often and we just have to deal with it constantly. We should be treated normally but its apart of being black.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

4/14/2023 09:28:03 am

There's a lot wrong with the world but the first thing that comes to mind though is guns. As of April 10th there have been 146 mass shootings, that's more shootings than days we've had in 2023. I think i would try to enforce strict gun laws or ban them all together. Too many innocent black people have lost their lives due to guns, same goes for the students who're just trying to get an education.

J blackmon 2A

4/14/2023 11:35:49 am

I agree, it's way too easy for people to get access to guns and the wrong people are getting access to them.More steps should be put into place to be able to own one or not even have one at all.

A Giles 2A

4/14/2023 11:36:30 am

I completely agree with you because guns were made and used for violence in the first place aka for wars/killing. In the united states people are using them for the most idiotic reasons. Why go to schools with young children who are trying to get an education and make the world a better place and just kill them... People kill for fun and fight for fun. There are no good outcomes out of any kind of violence. Especially with guns and being able to get them without a license. Why have a gun when you have no experience.

Leonardo Guzman 1A

4/14/2023 09:39:24 am

The one problem I would like to take on are the many ones that occur in schools lately. Nowadays a lot of bad things happen in schools, bullying, fights, devious licks etc. Before I say anything, this isn't targeted towards anything, I just think school staffs need to do more in order to prevent these types of problems always happening. I myself have gone through a lot these past years and can't help but think the previous staffs I've had were careless, or just straight up ineffective. Without any actions being taken, schools (mostly public) would be classified as wastelands of pure agony, disguised as a place for learning and future preparations.

G. Castaneda 2A

4/14/2023 11:43:44 am

The things that are happening in school need to stop, it has no value. People do it just because they think it's funny or it will get them friends but it really gets them no where in like except for behind bars. Schools should have better security in order to make sure that everything is going well and safe.

X. McDonald 7B

4/14/2023 07:04:37 pm

Definitely because there is all sorts of bad things happening damaging teens confidence, moods etc.

A. Hernandez 5B

4/14/2023 09:59:10 am

If I could fix a problem I would fix violence. Violence is a problem that we are dealing with in todays society and having trouble to fix it. There are other ways to fix things, violence isnt always the answer.

S. Samuels 2A

4/14/2023 11:33:38 am

i agree with you violence is a huge problem especially in this generation. Although I can't even think of a way to end violence. I would say wiping out the whole existence of guns but violence is so much more than guns even though gun violence is a BIG issue.

S Spencer 2A

4/14/2023 11:45:18 am

I agree with you people in this day and time don't know how to put down weapons or stop fighting and just talk things out or just not be cool with each other

J Pearl 2A

4/14/2023 11:50:59 am

I agree there is too much violence in the world people need to calm down stop hurting people.

R. Brown 3A

4/14/2023 12:47:16 pm

I believe that violence is an unfixable problem. We have fought and killed each other throughout history. There is no true way to stop violence, we can only lessen it. By the way you have some how forgotten to state how you would fix violence.

J Sapateh

4/14/2023 10:13:33 am

If i could tackle one issue faceing our globe i'd tackle bias i suppose it should't really mater what chase you're because when all is said and done we're still no mater what cooler you're because even now there exist pepole be treated unfarily and its not right everybody must be treted the way they desire to be treated were still

zayla f 1a

4/14/2023 10:39:13 am

If I could take on one problem facing our world , it would be the difference between the judgement the 2 different genders get . In our generation boys have more rights to do what they want and not be looked at any time of way , they applaud the men but women as girls we can't really do nothing without being judged and belittling .

V Taylor 6b

4/14/2023 10:48:39 am

If i could fix one major problem the first thing that comes to my head would be racism. There is so much conflict going on in the world that can make our lives at risk just because of your skin color. I would bring people together so that way we all understand that we are all humans and we shouldnt be putting others in danger because of the color of everyones skin.

A Giles 2A

4/14/2023 11:29:56 am

I agree with you! Just because we all look "different" does not mean we should discriminate each other. We are the same species so why "hate" each other when we can all love and care instead, which is way better.

J Pearl 2A

4/14/2023 11:51:29 am

I agree racism needs to stop.

R. Lynch 3A

4/14/2023 12:41:53 pm

I agree with this statement. Discriminating someone just because they have a different culture is ridiculous. At the end of the day we're all just different pigments of skin.

eduardo maso 2a

4/14/2023 11:06:13 am

violence. Yesterday i was watching my favorite content creator and he had uploaded a video of how this man shot up a little caesars because and i quote "his pizza was not hot n ready" The world is filled with hatred and after seeing as to how little patience it takes to upset somebody for them to take another life is absurd. I would handle the problem firstly by making it public that in order to own a firearm we should put more security than just having a license.

K Jacinto

4/14/2023 10:54:18 pm

Totally agree, people are dying everyday and it’s like we don’t care. People hurt one another like they don’t care. It’s awful and taking violence away would make this world better.

Arrianah Bates 6B

4/14/2023 11:06:30 am

If I could change one thing In the world I would change extreme weather conditions for example hurricanes,blizzards etc. The reason I say that is because people die during those types of weathers and we don't even know the cause of these types of weathers

M Aguilar 2A

4/14/2023 11:27:14 am

If i could change one thing in the world it would be gun violence. There is no reason for little kids, to fear going to school. Its a shame were losing kids due to the fact that there's sick people with the ability to get their hands on a battle gun.

R. Lynch 3A

4/14/2023 12:37:23 pm

I agree. stricter gun laws will restrict certain individuals from obtaining dangerous firearms which can help us feel safer anywhere.

A Giles 2A

4/14/2023 11:27:56 am

A problem I would take on would be with women's rights. I thought the problem was solved but, apparently not. Everyone has their own "freedom" but especially males since they were the "in charge" of everything and still think they are. We are all humans and the same species. So why are we letting men choose what is "right" for us when we do not even have the same bodies/organs.

tutt 2A

4/14/2023 11:28:05 am

one problem i would fix is habitat and environment destruction by building and going up the sky is limitless animals can stay safe

R. Brown 3A

4/14/2023 12:39:01 pm

This is a good idea but I think you haven ´ t thought about it enough. For us to make buildings taller we need more materials, and getting these materials would cost a lot of money. We also have to think about how to make buildings more stable, the taller the building the less stable it will be. Not to mention how tall buildings would get in the way of bird migrations.

S, Samuels 2A

4/14/2023 11:30:19 am

If I could fix one problem that the world is facing right now it would be fixing the bond between African American mothers and their daughters. I would change the way this society views women and men and make everyone equal.

K.williams 3A

4/14/2023 12:45:48 pm

i agree , i feel as if mothers should always have a good bond with their daughters no matter the situation.

K. Romero 2A

4/14/2023 11:30:51 am

If i could take on one problem it would be the disrespect between everyone. I get it if someone was disrespectful to me i would be disrespectful to them back, but some people don't realize that not everyone is the same and they keep the same energy with everyone even the people who are just trying to be nice. I dont know how i would take on this problem because at this point the whole world is screwed up, but i wish i could. I wish people would realize that just because one person messed you up mentally and made you heartless or whatever not everyone is going to do it, you need to let at least one person help you, and how can you find that person if you're disrespectful to everyone?.

J blackmon 2A

4/14/2023 11:31:48 am

The one thing i could take on is violence because over the years it seems more killings are becoming more frequent.Maybe we can make programs to help people mentally.I feel like people don't value their own lives and other lives as much as they used to before.

G. Calderon Batista 2A

4/14/2023 11:35:28 am

A problem i would take on is the worlds disbelief with god & religion as a whole. As a new christian myself i want to spread the word of jesus christ & god but not in a way to make it seem like im forcing religion down someones throat. People are so quick to judge a whole community because off one interaction they've had with a person in that community or things they've heard. At the end of the day whether you agree with beliefs or not you should always respect other peoples beliefs in the bible god says " thou shalt love thy neigbour as thyself. The way i would spread the word of god is by going on mission trips to 3rd world countries or just places that need to hear the word of him.

G. Castaneda 2A

4/14/2023 11:37:17 am

If I was to change one thing in the world it would be the views of people. People are too quick to judge without hearing the real or full story. In this world if we say what we are thinking or our views on something, we can get "canceled" or disliked but how are we supposed to have any type of input that people want if they don't let us talk. I would try to change people's mindsets by actually giving them my input so they can know where i'm coming from.

Desiree Ware 3A

4/14/2023 12:39:11 pm

Yes, I agree people are so quick to judge without getting to know the person which I find crazy. I admit I have judged a person without getting to know them based on how they looked. But I stopped doing that because there's more to a person than their looks. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 2A

4/14/2023 12:40:31 pm

People these days just judge each other without even thinking about that person. We never know what goes on in a persons life, yet you still judge them for being "different" We can't just live in a world full of hatred. We don't need anymore wars. Our planet is ruined enough.

Sanchez 5B

4/14/2023 04:16:27 pm

I agree and believe it’s because People are insecure. They judge because they see something in you that they don’t have, and instead of praising it, they try to shatter it.

S Spencer 2A

4/14/2023 11:39:20 am

If i could change one major thing in the world it would be racism,because we are all human and we should all get treated like it no matter our color. We shouldn't have to be a certain color for us to be treated like humans or work in certain places without being looked over.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 2A

4/14/2023 12:37:50 pm

Racism is a huge thing in our world right now, and it's been around for years. It makes me sick knowing that people just can't accept people for who they are and not what they are. We are all here to live our lives and not to hate each other.

zaliah s 2A

4/14/2023 11:47:22 am

As i would like to change racism a lot of us know that will never happen its a lot more history behind racism it goes deeper than slavery, deeper than the indian walk,deeper than the fight of the alamo racism goes back so many years before all of this stuff happened it would be great to just forget about it and start over but lots of people wont its to much damage that has been done

Desiree Ware 3A

4/14/2023 12:32:30 pm

Yes, I agree this is another thing I would like to fix, although this has been going on for years. Why hate a person based on their skin tone and race it's completely ignorant.

J Pearl 2A

4/14/2023 11:49:52 am

if there was one thing in the world i could fix it would be racism because everyone should be treated equal no one should be treated different or lower than because they have a different skin color.

J. Givens 2A

4/14/2023 11:51:17 am

If I could take out one problem in this world, it would be the lack of knowledge and awareness. The way I would do this, is by spreading the words of wisdom to those who are on a road to failure. To explain this better, I would use the time Myself and others spend on things that don't last forever and are on a time limit and replace it with the things that will last til the end of days and will affect in a positive way what their futures hold.

I.Onuoha 3a

4/14/2023 12:28:12 pm

One problem i would try to take on is gun violence. I think removing guns or reducing the amount of guns in the U.S would help less shootings and murders in the U.S. Gun violence also helps lead to more depression and having guns at an early age will likely lead to more kids growing up to be murders, robbers, etc.

Desiree Ware 3A

4/14/2023 12:30:09 pm

If I could take out one problem in this world it would be world hunger. I know this might be a typical answer but that's what I really want to do. Hunger can lead to poor health, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. I also saw with my own eyes what world hunger looks like. I saw a man on the side of the road digging in a trash can eating leftover pizza. My family ended up buying him a meal for himself. It really opened my eyes to world hunger and it's a lot of it all around the world that I wish to fix.

R. Waits 7B

4/14/2023 01:37:34 pm

While I truly agree with your problem and what made you want to solve it, you never said how you would do it. Again, I love your mindset, but it doesn't really pertain to the prompt given. Great problem idea though!

F. Maltos 3A

4/14/2023 02:04:43 pm

I agree with you because hunger is a big thing around the world and hunger can even lead to death. Which is sad because I feel like no one should suffer from hunger everyone should have the right to get free food when they do not have money to buy it. If I could I would help everyone with world hunger.

M Johnson 5B

4/14/2023 08:21:11 pm

I agree,world hunger is a big problem. No one deserves to starve due to their life status. Food is a big need for the body to thrive.

R. Lynch 3A

4/14/2023 12:31:12 pm

If there was one problem that I could take on in this world, it would be racism. As a society, we can all collectively educate ourselves on the negative impact that racism has on oppressed races. We can also promote cultural diversity across the world.

M Johnson 5B

4/14/2023 08:23:38 pm

I agree, no one deserves to have to live in worry of racism. Having to worry about be called something or harassed for no reason never be a problem.

R. Brown 3A

4/14/2023 12:32:30 pm

The problem in the world that I would fix is global warming. I want to fix global warming because it's a problem that is slowly getting out of hand. I would fix global warming by reducing waste, we can recycle, compost, and reduce the use of single-use plastics.

G.Ojeh B6

4/14/2023 04:59:19 pm

I concur. If I could change anything in the world, it would be global warming. Because the issue of global warming is progressively becoming out of control, I want to address it. I believe that the best way to combat global warming is to reduce trash. We can recycle, compost, and use less single-use plastics.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 2A

4/14/2023 12:36:20 pm

One problem I would change in this world is pollution. I would first find a way to trap Carbon Dioxide in concrete. There are 412 parts per million of Carbon Dioxide in the world's air right now. We breathe out Carbon Dioxide, not in. Our air isn't clean and is nowhere to be cleaned. Our soil isn't clean. Our oceans aren't clean. I would set a team to help pick up trash in our oceans and get communities together and pick up trash near their homes.I would get planters to help plant trees and flowers and make terrible fertilizer stop being sold in stores.

G. Ojeh B6

4/14/2023 04:58:03 pm

Poverty is one issue I would work to solve. Many people who were raised in poverty have no other life experience and think that is how life is supposed to be. I think that investing more money in the lower-income areas of the country would be really beneficial. Many issues would disappear if the government gave low-income communities greater attention.

K.Williams 3A

4/14/2023 12:44:32 pm

If i could take out one problem in this world it would be racism , even the the world isn't segregated like it used to be racism still takes place today. I would bring young children of different color together and let them know it is fine to be different from each other despite what other people say and how they treat others because racism is a learned behavior.

Riana Thomas 5b

4/14/2023 09:56:14 pm

I do agree with you racism should be stop. We shouldn’t judge someone off their skin color. This isn’t good for our society because people take things to the next level and kill someone

I agree with you I would love to fix this worlds problem with racism as well. It's crazy how in today's world this topic is even a problem in the first place, it shouldn't be. We are all human, and the color of our skin shouldn't determine otherwise. This world would be so much better and peaceful without racism existing. There wouldn't be as many debates as there are now.

If I could take on one problem facing our world it would be gun violence because it has become a big/common problem in America which is sad to think about. It is so sad that there have been many school shootings in America and these little babies are leaving too early. Only because the government has not put a stop to it and cares about other things than gun violence. Every student should feel safe going to school but now we know the reality, so many children are scared to go to school. The way I would fix this problem is by protesting and having every state protest so that the government can get everyone's attention and get the idea to end gun violence.

I love this. I love your mind. It seems as if every day that there are shootings and killings. If the government wont, at least you will/try.

Honestly, all they need to do is put some restrictions in place. Like it shouldn't be that easy for an unstable person to get a hold of a gun.

I agree and I think this is a great idea and a way to stop gun violence but I do think we'll have to do more than protest to persuade the government.

I would take on is healthcare, because it is way to costly and is making it hard for people to pay the amount of money they be charging you for providing service to you. On other countries healthcare is free for them and USA/america is using it for them benefit and is selling the service for a lot of money and that is how they made their income. I would make it free for the people because they may not have the money needed to take care of their issue and that would help families not be debt and cause them to be on a low living expense in their lifes.

I couldn't agree more. I refuse to go to the doctors for anything.

One problem I would try to fix is poverty. There are so many people who grew up in poverty and don't know anything else and believe that life is suppose to be like that.I believe pouring more money into the neighborhoods with lower incomes would really help out the U.S. If the government paid more attention to lower income areas a lot of problems would decrease.

If I could take up a problem, I would choose global warming because it has become a big issue and it will only become worse with time. I don't think it's a hard thing to fix because we can help the earth with changing small things we do in our everyday lives like recycling or littering. Also, some more major things that we could stop doing is cutting down so many trees or polluting the air we breath, but I think everyone has become too comfortable doing these things that they don't bat an eye anymore.

Global warming is a big problem too, it’s getting too hot due to global warming and the ozone layer is getting weaker. Things in our everyday lives are making this problem worse like our cars. We need to find safer options that will protect our atmosphere.

Global warming is a huge issue because not only is t affecting us right now, it will be worse in the future. Most might not realize it but we are doing a bad job of taking care of the planet with all the damage that we have been doing.

If I could take out a problem in the world it would be climate change. This is one of the many problems we face right now, but our leaders choose to neglect it. Therefore, I believe that it is up to us to change the world in which we live. Many people choose not to worry as they think that being sustainable and helping the environment is expensive, but in reality anything helps; from living a sustainable life, thrifting, joining organizations, cleaning up your community, recycling, etc.

R. Waits 7B

4/14/2023 01:34:36 pm

The problem that I would try to fix is becoming someone that people could confide in. I am already a pretty comforting person. I like a lot of people, and get along with others. I would use my"'power" and reach out to the community. It would be something I enjoy and accomplish at the same time.

I agree people tend to put too much weight of the world on their shoulders and look down on themselves.

M.Mitchell 6b

This may not be a world wide problem, but an issue that I would address is including necessary curriculum that prepares students for the real world. Making that transition from highschool to adulthood can be very difficult, especially when we spend so much time trying to comprehend random studies, like trigonometry. The lack of life skills is going to lead to more world wide problems than we realize.

R. Beck 5B

4/14/2023 11:30:43 pm

I agree because a lot of the stuff we're learning now isn't too much going to help out. I get the help with critial thinking but we should be learnng how to file taxes a proper signature etc.

I would give everyone an extreme sense of empathy. Because if everyone could easily imagine other people's situations then many of the world's problems would simply vanish.

D. Costilla 5B

4/14/2023 11:04:21 pm

I agree with you, empathy is a strong and powerful emotion all of us humans should have. And surprisingly enough if more people had that we wouldn't be living in such a selfish and cruel world.

If i could take on one problem about the world, I would start with fixing the amount of plants lost due to our destruction. As humans we need to do our part to help save the planet we live on. We are slowly losing it due to the lose of plants and animals that we have harmed. We move onto land and kill off anything that has lived there. We need planets to thrive and breath clean fresh air.

C.lott 2A

4/14/2023 10:41:56 pm

I agree, we as humans need to do a better job at not only saving plants but loitering.The main reason is loitering cause people dont think about wat help humans survive and breathe. If it was tooken more seriously the world would be a much better place.

Pina 7B

We should stop destroying our world and should start improving and finding a way to do things in better way.

As a fellow Christian, I believe that if everyone simply followed Christ's example, things would be much better than they are now. People would be less distressed than they already are, and they would also be more considerate of others. However, I don't think we should impose his agenda on people. You even get that from Christ. Christ desires a sincere relationship with you. Jesus is not in charge. if you don't want to be in Christ's relationship. If that's what you want to do, then do it. But as you have that conversation, you must also take responsibility for it when you pass away and he confronts you.

Gun violence is something I would want to fix for sure. There are so many school shootings, and mass shootings happening right now. I think teens and higher ups should speak up about how we feel about all the shootings that are happening and I understand that there is an amendment but at this point it is getting out of hand.

Riana Thomas 5b

4/14/2023 09:33:53 pm

This is true, I do believe gun violence should come to an end. Killing innocent people isn’t a way to stop your anger that you have built up. Its other ways you can cope with your anger.

C.lott 2A

4/14/2023 10:39:01 pm

I agree, they should enforce medal detectors for safety.The laws are not being implied the right way and the government not doing anything about it. Its definitely time for someone to take that stand to speak and evrything needed to stop all this nonsense.

Riana Thomas 5b

4/14/2023 09:16:49 pm

If I could take any problem facing the world I would pick gun violence. So many people in this world take gun violence as a joke and take guns for advantage. For example, school shooters/ shootings. Innocent people get their lives taken by school shootings. Honestly I feel like people should have a gun only if their licensed to have a gun.

D Sparks 1A

4/14/2023 10:16:54 pm

I agree, gun violence is getting worse and worse, at this point nobody should have guns because nobody knows how to use them. The biggest problems we in face in the world today are due to gun violence. It is a problem that needs to be controlled immediately.

Poverty is one of the main problems in the world. The poverty rate is increasing and people are getting poorer every decade. This problem has to be fixed by our government and the tax system because the laws set in place right now are set to keep the poor, poor, and keep the rich, rich. A new system dealing with money has to be implemented.

R. Beck 5B

4/14/2023 11:28:12 pm

I agree with you because all of this inflation and high tax rates are crippling young adults before they can even get their lives together. A lot of people of color without a lot of resources from their parents are at a disadvantge because they don't have the aid for smart decisions because they haven't experienced it.

If I could take on one thing in the world it would be racism.I really dont like the fact that people discriminate between races.I feel like society is very much based off racsim and its not taught enough.Racism play a big role and the reason is because people teach their kids when their young to not like certain races.

K Jacinto 6b

4/14/2023 10:56:52 pm

The one problem I would take away from this earth is violence. Killing one another only leaves people with grief and anger. Hurting other people shouldn’t leave one with satisfaction but a reflection instead. If people would understand they hurting someone else is not necessary. We would excel better as a community and world.

D. Costilla 5A

4/14/2023 11:01:38 pm

If I could take a problem facing the world it would be womans rights. As a woman I can say that woman and men aren't treated equally, which is so unfair. Sure, people say we're all equal, but we aren't. Jobs wise men get an upper hand compared to woman. Which makes no sense since we are now in the 21st century. Things need to be changed.

R. Beck 5B

4/14/2023 11:18:50 pm

A problem I would change is the school system and how they're trying to close out our education on our ancestors. They are continuing on the disconnect we have with true Africans. If we were able to make that connect we wouldn't even need to be in America too much and they really fear that no matter how much they front over it.

Pina 7B

4/14/2023 11:36:21 pm

If I could change one problem in the world it would be children’s poor access to education and safety. This is because of all the school shootings that have been happening and the government is not doing much about it. What have they done to provide more security and safety for the young children? This damages the education system and creates a fear for children to continue attending school. Many books and subjects that schools should be able to teach and read are being restricted. They are restricting our access to learn about our past and the things that are happening around.

Kimberly Yanez 3A

4/14/2023 11:48:11 pm

As someone who goes to a public school it can be scary and overwhelming never knowing if we are safe or not, this is because all the violence that has been happening in the United States. Many of schools have been a victim of school violence this can be based on security and the town, how we can limit this can be to get more security and to be aware, school violence can be scary to many students and parents which doesn’t help kids focus on school. It is something we are currently facing and states are updating laws everyday due to think thinking laws are gonna make a huge difference.
