As elaborated by Katelyn Newman, in her article ¨A Personal Look at a National Problem¨, the opioid epidemic in America is both severing family relationships and resulting in widespread suffering. In the aftermath of the historic increase of prescription drug abuse in the United States, as well as the opioid epidemic being deemed a national emergency by President Donald Trump, Newman brings to light the true impacts the crisis is having on the United States. By generalizing the population, expressing her words in a solemn tone, and through alternating between narrating and informing, Katelyn Newman calls all americans to be conscience of the opioid epidemic, and the effects it is having on the relationships between people within the United States.
American Identity From 13 colonies to 13 states, America started taking its shape in Jamestown, Virginia 1607. Tedious factors such as, gender, class, ethic, religious and regional view help shape American identity after Revolutionary War. Before the Seven Year War Gender role in America started of simply as the man working in the field and women at home. The seven year war was the catalyst to the revolutionary war Great Britain added levy to everything from mails to goods, which led to a great disagreement between the English colonist and Great Britain. While the men were at war the women took their responsibilities and positions.
It is a great honor to have the chance to write about such an amazing group of men who not only made history, but broke through unimaginable barriers. The Tuskegee Airmen, who were members of the segregated black flying division of the Army Air Corps in Tuskegee, Alabama, were faced with many challenges, such as fighting oppression in a foreign country and racism, segregation, and discrimination at home. That alone sets them apart from other members of the greatest generation who served in the military during WWII. These are some extraordinary men who are more than deserving of recognition and respect. There were white Air Corps officers who strongly opposed black pilots entering overseas combat, demanded segregation in the base facilities,

From the beginning USA Today set out to be different than their competitors by not following the then normal way of how a newspaper should look and what it should entail. The paper did not include long stories, but short synopsis, easy to find sections, and colors and graphs (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). They catered to the working class who did not have a lot of time to read an entire paper or search and look for a particular article or section. Due to the generational changes and with television changing as well; they knew this was the age that people will watch a lot of television and that their customers have busy lives. USA Today has always been an innovator; for example, adding numbers to the magazine so their customers would have the
People who are immigrants have many struggles they face when living in America. For instance, immigrants face the barrier of financial stability. When immigrants come to the states they barely have anything. Most immigrants leave with very little and need to start their life all over again. They need to find new housing and jobs.
Monetary and Societal Obstacles Societal simply comes from the word society and it means relating to society. Monetary refers to money. In our society monetary and societal obstacles can intertwine. These obstacles can even build on each other. Consequently, this can cause bigger problems if they are not handled correctly.
Immigration has always been a major part of American history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to the United States in search of a better life. Of the 1.49 million immigrants who traveled to the United States in 2016, 150,400 immigrants were from Mexico. There have also been many people from Mexico who have immigrated illegally to America, with 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2015 and 2016. The large scale of immigration, both legal and illegal, has brought up issues such as national security and the U.S. economy.
Briefly describe one issue that affects the College and how you would work to address it. * One issue that I see that the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences faces, but specifically those in the Government and Politics Major and Living and Learning Programs is the lack of advising. Ranging from the lack of staff members to the confusing requirements that need to be meet for those who wish to double major/ add a minor is something that I think needs to be remedied. Students admitted into the LEP GVPT Major and those in Living and Learning Programs are students who are chosen based off of their extra-curriculars, promised potential to the university, and their overall academic drive. We need to find a way to make the advising process easier
Americans differ on major social and cultural issues due to the different situations each faced during this time. Each American went through some sort of challenge in this time period, but not only did they go through challenges, but all of the challenges were so different and they all had to find a way to overcome them. Since Americans had such different problems during this time it made it harder for some to overcome their problems. Some problems that Americans were faced with during this time was some economic problems, but it wasn’t socially discussed since it wasn’t such a major issue.
All nations at one point have experienced a few different types of challenges in their history. America suffered through plenty of challenges throughout its history that have been overcome. America has been through many obstacles, but they were only realized after the problem was solved or confronted. These challenges include slavery, women’s rights, tyrants, terrorists, and innumerable more.

There are many challenges that immigrants face throughout their lives. Many immigrants are able to come to the U.S., but it is not easy as it seems. One challenge that immigrants go through is being able to have respect that the U.S. citizens have. Another challenge that immigrants face is being able to adapt to the new environment. People who arrive in the U.S. might not be able to speak English.
As a result, people have created a vicious cycle in which they search, read, believe, and share what they have read, without considering the reliability of the information and news. Technology has influenced communication and journalism; as a result, the media has adopted a business model based on clicks and advertising. The combination of people 's need for information and the greed of news corporations have allowed for the proliferation of “fake news,” a term that has gained importance in the last two years. Fake news is “completely made up, manipulated to resemble credible journalism and attract maximum attention and, with it, advertising revenue” (Hunt, 2016). News has the power to alter people’s perceptions which can impact their decisions related to economy, democratic process, and their lives and jobs.
