Latino neighborhoods have increased by 232% from 1980 to 2010 (Onesimo Sandoval & Jennings‚ 2012). Residential segregation‚ which I define as the Latino and White spatial segregation by income for this paper‚ is an important concept to consider when creating health policies that are meant to ensure equal health outcomes among society as a whole. Although the World Health Organization defines health to be “a complete state of physical‚ mental‚ and social well-being‚ and not merely the absence of disease

Animal experimentation saves lives and makes vaccines for diseases. But‚ millions of animals die for experimentation and it doesn’t work every time‚ even people die because of false information. Animals are important in their habitats and kingdoms. If people take them‚ then they can’t do their jobs.

The first article‚ "Three Strikes and You’re Out: California’s new mandatory sentencing law on serious crime rates"‚ by Stolzenberg and D’Alessio.

Yearly Vaccination Legislation In The U.S‚ many lower-class people die every year because of preventable viruses. Vaccines are the solution to preventing the viruses‚ but unfortunately‚ not all Americans can afford the vaccines. Hundreds of thousands of lives can be saved with a simple piece of legislation. According to William Foege‚ “Vaccines are the tugboats of preventive health.” For this reason‚ the U.S needs to include more “tugboats” and create a public policy solution to the problem. The

Do you agree or disagree with women participating in combat? I agree that all woman should have the right to fight in combat because you shouldn’t look at what gender they are but see what their strength and weakness are in fighting in combat.
