Response to Jaden Lockard

First of all, love your point that a woman is just as capable as a man. Moreso, the concepts of race and gender precedents being eliminated within the political world are very true. I agree with you that our nation has taken leaps in the right direction. Recognizing that women have risen in the political world with implemented percents within your blog backs up your argument well. Although I agree with this point, I disagree with your point about Trump and Hillary Clinton. I don’t necessarily think that she was not elected President because people viewed she, “couldn't have matched the intelligence of Trump.” In my opinion, the decision didn’t come to man vs. woman in terms of intellect. Maybe a factor, but not the reason Trump won. I did like your point about Barack Obama. The first African American President being elected was probably a day many racist people dreaded, and I feel almost special to be alive to witness such a monumental day. Your quote, “In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you,” is one of my favorite quotes. These words should be embedded in the brains of everyone. Our brains, attitudes, and actions should be separation factors within the population. They certainly are when considering jobs, college classes, and a number of other intellectually necessary occupations. Not only that, but who we are as a person most certainly categorizes us as citizens. I would love to see a day that a woman is always and fairly considered for the same jobs men have better chances of getting, merely because they are men. Overall, your argument is hopeful and does a good job at recognizing change within U.S. politics.

Criminal Justice Reform

       The First Step Act was signed into law by President Trump in December. The First Step Act may just be precisely what it's named, the first step in the right direction for criminal justice reform. Thousands of inmates have received sentence reductions as well as the possibility for early release. Although this is a major leap for criminal justice reform, there are still an abundance of pressing issues within the prison system.        For one, men and women that are incarcerated lack the access to have necessary medical care. Whether this entails psychiatric or physical health care, inmates are not receiving the proper care. In early September of this year, the Federal Bureau of Prisons was hit was a lawsuit from the ACLU of Washington for refusing to allow inmates on opioid dependence medications to continue treatment. This was a direct violation of the eighth amendment. This is just one of many unjust scenarios that occur constantly within prisons. Another disconcerting iss

BANNING IS NOT THE ANSWER

E-Cigarettes are an epidemic affecting teens, adults, and the U.S. Government SIGNIFICANTLY. At least two-thousand people have become ill from the use of e-cigarettes and more than forty people have faced death because of them. The problem regarding the lack of ability to control underage use of these deadly devices is being wrongly dealt with by the government.  E-cigarettes are most definitely not the first product that the United States has been unable to control underage/illegal use of. Cigarettes were initially welcomed to people of all ages with the included advertisements of Marlboro having children hold their products. Though America did not yet know the terrible and deadly effects of tobacco usage at the time, the same concept is likewise being discovered with e-cigarettes. These small devices boomed with the now iconic slogan, “The alternative to smoking.” This is represented on the multi billion dollar company called JUUL. Horrific health outcomes are now being exploited
