"My Thesis Statement: A Work in Progress"

Whaling is a cruel thing that should be stopped as soon as possible meaning that the international government should stop all countries, including Japan,which still kills about 1,000 whales a year, should from murdering these whales for "scientific research".

Is the Human Population in Danger???

The issues in society today are in bundles of horror stories. Some that I chose are legalization of marijuana, gun control, and drunk driving issue. I chose three links with reliable information about these topics.  For the issue of drunk driving, I found the link  "Take the Technology Route to Cut Drunken Driving Deaths." USA TODAY: A.8. May 31 2013. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 8 Sep. 2013. This site is reliable because it has good information, was well constructed and does a good job of stating the facts that were needed. A site I found for gun control is Healy, Melissa. "Guns, Violence, Revenge: Talking to Victims in an Urban ER." Gazette-Mail: p. B.7. Jul 14 2013. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 8 Sep. 2013 .  This site for gun control was very efficient at stating the main facts. It told me what I wanted to know quickly, in other words it was short and to the point.  For the legalization of marijuana, I found the site Mozingo, Joe, Ari Bloomekatz,and David G.Savage. "Feds Soften Stance on Big Pot Growers." Los Angeles Times: A.1. Aug 30 2013. SIRS Issues Researcher. Web. 8 Sep. 2013   these issues were important because of their dangers to the entire human population. Marijuana legalization will lead to more people doing drugs, gun control will make people mad and want to use the guns for harsh reasons, and drunk driving is just dangerous to yourself, others and not to mention the damage it does on families and their relationships.
