There are few things we have the ability to do in order to reverse the ways that have come upon us, whether they be using smartphones whenever we need the littlest of help, to our TV screens in search of entertainment, this new generation has become
Creative Title There are fathers who won’t be able to walk their daughters down the aisle, children who won’t have mothers to tuck them in at night, and brothers who won’t have sisters to tease. O0n September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack occurred killing 3,000 loved ones. These deaths occurred because of the lack of security and government surveillance.

America has always been technologically advanced, home to world famous technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. Yet American internet isn’t as great as you would think. Ranking 31st globally in download speeds and 42nd in upload speeds, the United States is no longer at the top of its game. Much smaller countries like Hungary, Slovakia, Uruguay, Lesotho, and Slovenia have passed us in download or upload speeds. There’s no doubting American internet is slower than most
Gun control is a controversial topic that has been around for decades in the United States. It is primary debated between two groups: gun right activists and pro-gun control activists.

There is a company called Power Band it sells bracelets that are supposed to help you with physical abilities. They claim that it helps people all over the world with physical abilities, but all it really is a bracelet that is made out of silicone that comes in a verity of colors and on the bracelet there is a hologram of their logo.

Student loans are a form of financial aid that must be repaid, opposed to other forms of financial aid, such as scholarships and grants. Student loans have played a very large role in our nation’s higher education as well as our previous economic recession because the debt burden is not only affecting a grand majority of Americans, but those who are in debt owe more than ever before and cannot compensate for the money they “borrowed.” The U.S. Census shows that 20 million Americans attend college
