This I Believe & Civic Issues

Civic Issues:

Affirmative Action

• I did a project on this in 12th grade. I have a reasonable knowledge of the issues regarding affirmative action. I would do a blog on the history that led to the adoption of several affirmative action laws. A blog on the legal issues regarding affirmative action, the idea that this policy could be considered racist. A blog on the problems that affirmative action can bring about in education. A blog on the current cases against and for affirmative action. And a final blog on fixing the current affirmative action system.

This I Believe:

Efficiency

• I like things to flow like clockwork - I believe in order
• I believe in heartless capitalism
• We should limit public goods
• No minimum wage
• Limiting waste
• Efficient energy use/creation
• Nuclear power plants

A no-party government system

• Introduce the history of our government system
• Why I feel its important
• This would lead to a more cooperative government.
• People would know where they stand on issues rather than just siding with "their" party.
• Perhaps this falls into efficiency?
