Xxpandyourmind to Other Social Issues

As part of our English Class requirements, my fellow classmates also created blogs that discussed various issues that are taking place around the world. Here are a couple that I have found insightful and are definitely a must view! =)

Health Care Reform
The availability of healthcare to United States citizens' has been a controversial issue for the last couple of years. This blog clarified many of the aspects of the current policy, as well as the changes that the new bill would implement under President Obama's administration. I enjoyed following her posts because they expanded my opinion on how all Americans deserve to have access to healthcare. Furthermore, the United States is one of the only countries without a socialized form of healthcare, which could be the reason why our current policy is not as successful in comparison to others.

Rights for All
As the years have passed, society has become more accepting of Lesbians, Gay, Bi-Racial, and Transgendered people, also known as LGBT's. This blog takes into account how people should not be discriminated for their sexual preferences and discusses many of the setbacks that LGBT's are forced to deal with. A couple of the primary issues discussed are marriage between homosexuals, as well as adoptions rights. Who are we to decide what is love and what is not, and why is it that many gay couples are seen to be unfit parents? Visit this blog to learn more!

Algae: Powering the Future?
I can bet that many of you have never considered the use of algae as an alternative resource. It never crossed my mind either, until I came across my classmate's blog discussing the positives that results from transforming algae into a sustainable energy. Even though the power gained from algae is not as powerful as fossil fuels, it is evident that fossil fuels will not last forever, so any kind of alternative that reduces our dependence on them is a positive step into becoming a more resourceful world. Go Green!
