Marijuana

I agree. Marijuana is very common in the united states. In the United States, there are 20 million users across the country it used in the united states for medical use and it use mind altering.  There are some cons that people do and abuse it but I agree because there are so many people that use it for whats it meant for and it helps millions get there the day and it also helps with people stress.  Some states have passed laws to allow the use of marijuana for medical conditions. It has also help some farmers and business across the country helping the maker it. More then half the country has voted to  support legalizing marijuana for recreational use.

In the future, your kitchen will think for itself

On November 30, 2017, Kaya Yurieff from CNN published a article titled In the future, your kitchen will think for itself . We're still at least 10 to 15 years away from a fully connected and fully alive kitchen, most of this technology already exists. The biggest challenge is getting devices made by different companies to communicate. Todays world is filled with technology and runs on it almost every part of the hose is starting to run off technology  and now kitchens are very soon going to be running on its own. Soon the future 3-D printers are going to be making foods and making such big meals for the house. The day will come where man doesn't have to cook. While some tech companies trying to keep up with technology and continue to crank out smart kitchen gadgets, the maker of a 3D food printer called Foodini, sees a future with fewer appliances and making a splash into the kitchen. Soon we wont need cooks and chefs because will have robots or machines to make food for us. Technology is now focusing on how to make our lives easy and fast and have less worries.

Trump Wall

I agree with you, trump thinks that a wall will keep people out of country and never letting them come back then but ever wall is meant to broken. There are a number of ways we could be spending the money here in the U.S rather then building a wall that anyone can come climb or destroy. Even though are borders are not safe at times we can just enforce more not by building a huge wall. But I think not everyone deserves to come to the United States but I see people struggling on the other side of the border and if they really want to make change in there lives they will find a way in the U.S no matter what. Its better to use the many to help the citizens or the national debt. Most immigrants take up high school jobs and low education jobs so it not there fought that some Americans that are lazy and complain on why there taking all the jobs in the U.S.

Trump administration will promote coal, natural gas and nuclear energy

On November 3, 2017,  Lise Friedman from The New York Times published a article titled Trump Team to Promote Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Power at Bonn Climate Talks .  The Trump team will be promote coal, natural gas and nuclear energy because of the recent climate change and they will presentation during a United Nations global warming conference this month. This energy program is billed as a discussion of how American energy resources, such as fossil fuels, can help poor countries meet there standers for meeting electricity needs. They want to change the use of energy in the U.S and use clear resources for the better of the climate and for the people. The Trump team has been working over seas to work with other countries to find new ways to make the U.S more green. Most of the climate experts are saying that the world must shift or change from fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives to meet emissions targets and this is the first step to a better world and helping the earth become more green. Nuclear power, which does not produce earth warming emissions, is viewed by many environmental activists because it doesn't harm the earth and its a lot better then fossil fuel. The U.S has been looking into this and changing its ways. hopefully one day the U.S will never have to use gas anymore and just use natural gas and nuclear energy. Also the United States has expressed its support on how to help other countries on meeting their climate objectives by using cleaner and more efficient fossil fuels and other clean energy sources and technologies. The U.S doesn't just want to help our nation but every body else as well and as one world, we can all help this world day by day. 

Social Media Is Corroding Our Democracy

On October 18, 2017, Chayenne Polimedio from Washington Monthly  published article titled Social Media Is Corroding Our Democracy  . The audience that the author is reaching out to is social media users. The world of social media has taken over globally and the word about anything can go viral in a matter of seconds. Donald trump and social media easily combine  as the president is always tweeting about every little thing that is wrong with our nation and what he will do to help us and fix it. I agree that that social media is somewhat controlling the government because people easily influence so many minds just by posting or tweeting what they have on there mind and people believe it and which just changes the course of everything. The nation has to worry about fake news as people try to post so many negative posts about the government so people can act on it and change the government more. This years election was based a lot on social media as people made so many funny post about Donald Trump and try to ruin the election so he wont become president but you also have the trump supports that will fight back on the internet and make post about Hillary Clinton. So pretty much there is a small war on the internet about how this country should be running. The people of the internet are controlling the government one step at a time.

Gun Silencers

On Friday, October 6, 2017, Nick Wing from HuffPost published an article titled Almost Nobody Wants To Loosen Regulations On Gun Silencers. Not Even Gun Owners. The audience that the author is reaching out to is gun owners. "For more than 80 years , silencers, also called suppressors, that have been under the National Firearms Act." To own equipment covered under that law, buyers or user must first pay a $200 transfer fee, and also submit fingerprints and pass a federal background check a process that can take up to a year to complete. A legislation that pending  in Congress would remove silencers from the National Firearms Act, allowing people to obtain and buy easily.
Just 18 percent of Americans favor changing the law to let people buy gun silencers more quickly and without paying a fee, while 68 percent are against, according to the survey. Under the  regulations or laws , suppressors are never used or rarely used in criminal activity. People against silencers have raised concerns that making the weapons instrument more available would lead to their greater use by criminals. The Author is against having the suppressors so easily obtain and want to make the law more hard to obtain the weapon. While reading this article my prospective over gun silencers falls with the author to make it harder to own such a instrument for a weapon. Falling the incident of Las Vegas, I say if someone like this would of owned a silencer during the massacre  a lot more people would of gotten killed  because no one would of know his location and where about. So we have to make this law strict to prevent these kind of incident and making the crime rate go high, Criminals  would have the upper hand leaving no trace on the person they killed and we would have no lead. The silence of silencers should be brought up and made more strict and only fall in the right hands.

Are robots taking over the job force?

On Friday, September 15,2017, CNN published an article titled Robots: Is your job at risk?
In this article it talks about how the world is advancing and slowly workers are worried about losing their jobs as society becomes more automated. It has come to the day that the fear of robots replacing jobs is real. For example, self-checkout kiosks and also self-driving trucks have been taking the world by day. The jobs that are in more danger are the jobs that require only a high school degree. So mostly the jobs that don't require so much human analysis or brains. Some well know stores that are starting to use this technology are CVS, McDonald, Wendy's have been installing self-checkout in a number of locations and have been also using touchscreen to place orders for customers. This December Amazon has released a video on their new Settle-based concept store Amazon Go, this store has no cash register and no checkout lines! The payment  process is through a smartphone and a customer can skip the line and just walk out, which is incredible. Amazon and many others stores are waiting for other stores to join with them and keep technology moving forward.
