Race in adoption is a complicated issue but the key point is that if the parents want a child they should be allowed to adopt no matter their race.

Vaccinations should be mandatory for adults and children alike. Adults have the right to handle their health however they want, but when one’s choices put others at risk, like by hurting herd immunity or maki children susceptible to diseases, you lose that right.

It’s been proven repeatedly that violent video games don’t cause real life violence and rather reduce it. There’s plenty to dislike the gaming industry for from atrocious worker’s rights to crunch time to regular lay offs to child gambling, but real violence is not one.

Immigrants are attempting to enter the US because their countries are poor and unsafe, cutting off aid and trade to these struggling countries will only boost immigration into the US for years to come in a shortsighted and ill thought out “plan.”

The life of a human is worth several times more than a person however animal testing should be kept ethical and respect should be shown to the animal.

Manipulating someone from birth and forcing him to pursue a profession for his entire life by force is immensely unethical and borderline dystopian.

College athletes should be paid proportionally to the amount of value they generate for their organization, hence why professional athletes can make millions over something so trivial– they generate massive revenue.

Abortions should be limited to situations a medical practitioner can support on a case by case basis.

If the Department of Health determines 18 to be a reasonable age to drink then so be it. The science is not exact and the three year age difference from 18 to 21 is negligible.

Madison's punishment should be altered to accommodate his condition, removing the death penalty and readjusting his sentence length according to the courts.

Socialism can, in controlled quantities, support the underprivileged and propel more people forward into a position where they can add to the economy. It is misleading to compare American socialism to Venezuelan socialism when better examples exist in Europe or Canada.

I can't form an opinion on the NBA draft encause I have no prior knowledge on how the NBA functions or why the age was raised, however lowering it to 18 seems too preemptive and may recruit players too young.

Leshi's article makes the reader fear for his/her privacy, building up the fear of our information being misused.

Marijuana should be regulated, not criminalized. It should be treated like any other prescription drug– limited only to those healthy enough or have a legitimate need for it. The article makes an appeal to taxing marijuana to introduce a new revenue stream for NYC.

Affirmative action is a temporary necessity for our education system and will be needed until each student has equal access to educational opportunities.

Technology is the future but abuse of technology could ruin us all. CRISPR gene editing must be regulated and performed ethically in order to protect ourselves and our offspring.

Dimitri's article used too few statistics and too many opinion statements, weakening the core argument and reduces its ability to convince the reader of the writer's argument.

Todd's article lambasts Trump's wall and attacks his reasons for the wall as well as feasibility of the wall, using logic and facts to violate Trump's arguments.

The article supports the LGBT through a mix of logos supported by statistics and pathos supported by personalized stories.

The article represents immigration statistics in a misleading way ignoring overall trends worldwide, drawing false conclusions from limited data.
