In the article “Taking a Battle Over Gentrification to a Wall in the Bronx” by David Gonzalez (Nov. 30, 2015) he tells me how the low class are being treated in today’s society. They  lost their jobs based on the rent,economy and other things they can’t afford. He says ”They knock down a block and build buildings where they only give a few apartments to low-income people.” They start moving to places after Yankee stadium and start a new life.

Drugs

According to Quil Lawrence(2014),Sarah Childress(2016) and 

I don’t agree with Sarah and Maia’s article because i haven’t seen it myself  but i agree with Quil Lawrence’s article because some people will do anything for drugs. I see it at the subway all the time,people selling junks from one cart to the other but they later on invest that money in drugs instead of something beneficial for their children and families.

DRUGS

Drugs has spread out in the United States Of America.According to Bossman (2017), some addicts have boldly come out to share their story of how drugs has put them in certain situations. Katie is one of the people who were addicted to drugs. Katie did anything possible to buy drugs, she had sex with a lot of men and also stole her mother’s jewelries just for drugs. In the article she says “I haven’t even been doing enough to get really high,” she said. “I’m just maintaining myself so I don’t get sick” means even though she is an addict there are some limitations to her addiction by not getting sick which is one of her reasons for being on drugs.

Credible book: Teen drugs abuse

http://www.teen-drug-abuse.org/read-more.htm

This is an article i found on google entitled “Teen Drug Abuse” and it talks about how parents should help navigate their teenage years. There is no author but it came from one of the members in CRC health group.This is a credible because it comes from a very powerful source. It is powerful because this person knows more about drugs,the affection and the solutions so i think this is a strong article to satisfy the interest of people. Also on the right hand it links us to other links that informs teenagers about the things they can do to stay away from drugs and where they can also get help from. eg Drug Rehabilitation,Addiction recovery choice etc.

DRUGS

Drugs is a substance or medicine which can be given to any living thing
that can cause a psychological effect. Drugs can be addictive and also preventable. America is in a condition where, if Obamacare is being restricted from the system more lives will be lost because the people with opioids will suffer without care. The rate of opioid disorder went low under Obamacare even though, other 420,000 people couldn’t get treated but there has been an improvement as compared to the past years and this brings a good name to the Democrats.

On the other hand, Donald Trump and some Republicans want to take Obamacare out of the system under a “vow”. Richard Frank who is one of the co-authors also says that if Obamacare is repealed, almost 620,000 people will die every year because they are not covered by insurance.Based on CDC’s data in 2015, some states like Massachusetts, Kentucky, West Virginia and New Hampshire were on the top of the drug overdose. Obamacare made a lot of difference to these states when it was being introduced.Trump and the Republicans see Obamacare as too rigid and this might be one of the reasons why they want to repeal it. Trump hasn’t come up with any ideas of helping save the lives of people with opioid and mental disorders.

In these past years there has been big problems about how doctors cure patients using these medicines. But these painkillers and other medicines turned out to be an opioid overdose for some of the patients, so there was a strict warning to the doctors of the type of medicine to give to patients and how they should also take these medications. The chart provided by the CDC shows how patients were dying because of taking these wrong medications. From 1999 to 2015 the date rate is unspeakable and it gives an ugly name to the Health Department. After dealing with these doctors for doing the otherwise it made some people to become addicted to painkiller.

I think Trump should come up with a better solution to eradicate this issue and the doctors should give patients the right usage of medication to lower death rates every year. Because if people get insurance and the people keep dying then is useless.

3 ways to speak English

In 3 ways to speak English by Jamila Lyiscott, she explains how articulate she was in her society. An example of her being articulate was when her father asked “Wha’ kinda ting is dis?”My “articulate” answer never goes amiss I say “father, this is the impending problem at hand” which proves to me how fluent she is with other languages. She responds back to everybody who questions in the respective way, this was one of the reason why the lady was baffled. Because she didn’t know a young girl like her can blend into these type of accent.  She switches it up when she’s on the block with her friends because she wants them to be comfortable around her and this makes everybody her more articulate and also makes her accent stronger. Because the more she meets new people the more she expresses herself in these types of English for them to understand. She doesn’t think broken English is a big problem,but she rather thinks her English teacher will look stupid to the British people when she speaks her regular English. Jamila doesn’t wanna be judged about how she speaks because hers was stolen and broken.

Empathy

How are writing and empathy similar?

Writing can involve a lot of things. For example it can be your professor asking you to write about your experience in something that you did in the past or how you feel about the future. In this case you have to put yourself in that moment and start to remember the things you did around that time or if you have to put yourself in other people’s shoes then you do so, to be able to come up with a remarkable response.

What is the value of empathy?

Empathy can lead into many things. It can make you feel motivated, cooperate, depressed, stressed (based on whether the situation was good or bad) etc. Because you putting yourself in other people’s shoes so you have to involve yourself in what is going on and put in your best because life goes on. Nobody knows what tomorrow might bring. We just have to be grateful because things happen for a reason.
