Deserah Alvarrez Arthur of “Teachers today challenge tomorrow”, first off I could not agree with you more from the top of your post to the bottom. Personally these types of decisions strike right at home because I am an education major and it’s scary to know what teachers are facing. Even here in Austin, TX there are 8 schools at risk of closure, where will these teachers go, how will the student react when they lose that life changing teacher and put into an environment they are not familiar with? Will those be the next line of burglars or murders? Because the message sent to them is that even if you’re doing well in classes and your teacher is doing well on evaluations they are only seen as a dollar or change. Once again I agree with you and I believe that teachers should not be put in this position and they should be paid more.

Amputation
Amputation is “to cut off (all or a part of a limb or digit if the body) as by surgery” according to dictionary.com. Amputation has been an issue for all countries and places in general since the beginning. Amputation is also the subject and issue many of our soldiers are being faced with as well as the question asked after coming back with broken and shattered legs or any limbs that 9 time out of 10 an unfixable limb. Historically you would get something amputated if you had gangrene or something similar but most commonly found around the military. Back in that time getting an amputation was pretty much the last straw to your life with a leg, but with the new innovations of prosthetics some people are able to restore their walking, running and pretty much anything a normal leg can do.” “I think we’ll see late amputations continuing, the numbers will increase,” says Col. James Ficke, the orthopedic consultant to the Army Surgeon General, who has performed these operations at Brooke. The belief is that after your accident and the pain and hardships the everyday life will be challenged resulting in a person just ready to give up and say I want more equaling a new amputation patient. I believe that this innovation is wonderful and really worth while; it’s designed to basically predict your movements so that it’s like your actual brain sending the message. If you have ever known someone that has either lost an arm or leg you know the most difficult issue or wall to climb is the actual fact that they will no longer be able to use what they once had and that they will have to adapt a new style of life. Some people may have been the best basketball players in the neighborhood or maybe even the city, but with the missing limbs they can’t resume that path, unless they look into the new prosthetics. This innovations strikes me as an important finding and this technology can be used all around the world, And all it takes is lithium batteries to run.

Holy Matrimony
Holy matrimony I do not believe that this is a national issue, especially being that many countries allow the opportunity to have many wives I do agree that it is wrong based on my Christian beliefs that no one man should have more than one wife however the Christian belief and rituals that we follow today are not the same as our founding fathers and even then many important people did not want god to have any business in the work place or laws. However it would not be changing the laws because the bill of rights set out in the first amendment that we have freedom of expression and you would not have to try to find a loophole its right there in plain sight. You said “I do not agree with because it has not been accepted in the history, so why should it start now?” well everything in history has changed and is steady changing, in my opinion history is like rules, they were meant to be broken, or in the case of history it was meant to be changed because change is the foundation of history. If nothing ever changed then what would make history significant. History is made to change but not be forgotten and in modern times if you do not accept that then you are left behind, so although it may be against your morals I would definitely pay attention to the fact that all things in history are changing you just are against this particular subject with a biased view from your beliefs.
