Notecard Topics

College Costs
The price to receive higher education has become ridiculously expensive. With the economy today, it is very difficult to find a well paying job without a college degree. However, many teens and their family are already struggling to just put food on the table let alone thinking about sending their daughter or son to college. This makes it extremely hard for him/her to become successful and send their future children to college.

Abortion
I am pro-choice. I believe taking the life of the child in its best interest is okay. But if done for another reason like laziness then i disagree. It is only acceptable if the mother and father agree that by having the baby will prevent the baby from having a complete, enjoyable life.

Illegal Immigrants
Over-crowding is a major disadvantage and is the main reason for those who don't like these illegal immigrants. It causes excessive use of our nation's resources which can lead to many problems. For instance, in L.A. county/city schools are in major debt and are over populated which is a big strain on the Californian government's economy.

Gun control
Gun companies are only concerned with their money. They have no concern for the consumer's or public safety. They don't have sufficient background checks which allows the mentally unstable or criminals to easily attain a deadly weapon. The guns they produce and sell to "everyday joes" are unnecessary. The sub machine guns and assault firearms have no use for everyday life. The only guns that civilians should be able to purchase are basic handguns or rifles.

  2. College Costs
    Incoming college students vs. college board of trustees
    My angle: College costs way too much and is not considerate to those who cannot afford these outrageous costs.

    Abortion
    pro-choice vs. pro-life
    My angle: I believe it should be pro-choice because it depends on the families' situation both financially and mentally.

    Illegeal Immigrants
    Immigrants supporters vs. American taxpayers
    My angle: These illegal immigrants are a big strain on the economy and don't have much of a positive effect.

    Gun Control
    Gun companies vs. Concerned Americans
    My angle: The gun companies are responsible for these thousands of deaths caused by their assault weapons.

  3. Hi Wayne,
    I like topic three - illegal immigrants. I think it's a different side of the issue that you are exploring and it is definitely relevant in our current society.

    I also like your gun control angle. You could certainly find some great support for this idea.
