Blog #2 Issues

Economical: 

• Gas prices are way too high, and they continue to rise. 
• Minimum wage is too low for the high pricing in today's market.
• Huge gap between the rich and the poor.
• High inflation 
• Most products sold in the U.S. are made overseas. 
• Not enough jobs in the U.S. to decrease unemployment significantly.
• International air fare is very expensive.
• There are taxes for almost everything: Social security, property taxes, federal income, etc..
• Low income housing is too expensive for low income workers. 

Social: 

• Bullying 
• Racism/racial discrimination

Education: 

• Students that don't have any interest in being in school, and just complain all the time. 
• People standing and talking in the middle of the hallways. 
• Students having full conversations on their phones during class. 
• Kids chewing gum and sticking it under desks, and tables. 
• People ripping off the doors of stalls, and toilet seats off of toilets. 
• Never any paper towels in the bathrooms. 
• Really odd things being food in the bathrooms such as animals, and writing on the walls. 
• Tenure, especially for teachers who are absolutely terrible. 
• No child left behind: slowing the advancement of education in the U.S. 
• U.S. ranked 17th in global education (really sad)
• Lack of discipline in many classrooms. Kids can be like animals.
• lack of materials in schools: paper, art supplies.
• lack of funding for extra curricular activities; most money is raised only through volunteering. 

Government: 

• Run by a bunch of rich men and women. (The rich control the world!)
• Very hard to pass bills, and agree upon action because both parties cannot agree with one another. 

College: 

• Tuition is very expensive. 
• You have to pay just to fill out an application. 
• You have to be a good student, involved in sports, clubs, volunteering and as much as you can possibly do just to get into a good college. 

Clothing: 

• People wearing shredded clothes that look like rags more than an outfit. 
• Sagging pants
• Clothes that are too tight. 
• Clothes that show almost every single amount of skin that can possibly be shown.
• People wearing clothes just to look cool rather than be comfortable.
