The media has had a significant impact on how we view human sexuality. Do you believe that television has helped or damaged our view of what constitutes a healthy relationship?  How has television affected the family unit? Explain/document your position.  Give specific examples and include your book references. (I realize that the motion picture and newspaper industries have also had an impact, but have limited the question in the interest of time.)

The American Promise and Our Sacred Documents

Prompt: TWO PAGES LONG

The American Promise – Who we are, What do we believe and Where we are Going? Our Appendix holds the documents that our generations and much of the world considers Sacred Texts. When the world calls for human rights, liberty, equality it is often our documents that are held up before the people. In China and in Russia, in the Middle East and the continent of Africa, you will see our texts, and you will see the Statue Of Liberty in a thousand different renderings. Why?
From page 1 and through the Index discuss what this means historically, politically, culturally.
Our sacred documents that are at the heart of the nation came from somewhere earlier? Trace and discuss the origins of our founding father’s documents. What did the men and women of that time understand these documents to mean?
When and why did we protest, fight, write and rebel in order to move the American Promise a bit further toward full realization?
When and why did these documents seem to fail in our history, rather, when did we fail these documents?
Discuss the compromises, philosophies and sacrifices that were made in order to keep the American Promise alive.

Drugs and Crime

After 9/11, the extensive amount of money generated from illegal sales of narcotics in the United States to fund Taliban activities was discovered. Afghanistan is intertwined with drug lords as well. Post 9/11, the war on drugs also became the war on terrorism or narcoterrorism. Foreign aid to Colombia increased so they could fight insurgent groups in the country that were funding terrorists. Do you think this increased foreign aid has been helpful to the United States?

The major drug route from Mexico to the United States was also bringing in and funding terrorists. Are you in support of President Trumps wall efforts and do you think this infrastructure will help deter drugs and terrorists?
