Decisions About Social Issues

Child Abuse:
I feel that if a parent knows in their heart that they're not equipped to have children, whether it be biological or adopted kids, they should abide by their gut feeling and NOT raise children. Taking out all their frustration on their children is completely unfair. 45% of kids that undergo abuse are under the age of 5. Little do they know they're scarring their children for the rest of their lives or the children develop the same abusive habits once they get older. 

Texting While Driving:
Approximately 600,000 people attempt to use their cellular device behind the wheel every day. Texting and driving leads to 1.6 million deaths in car crashes every year. This doesn't seem to stop people from the temptation. I feel as though their should be a law against using your phone at all when you're behind the wheel and driving. 

Stereotyping:
Stereotypes are untrue or partially true exaggerated assumptions that people make about other people's statuses, behaviors, desires and lifestyles. Racial stereotyping is common among the internet today. In fact, many vine superstars make a living by making fun of their own race and the stereotypical things that person's race does. Not only is this discriminating, but it is very offensive. A mockery is made out of things very much valued to other religions, races, sexual orientations, etc. Stereotyping can also be used as a form of bullying.
