I look through my Facebook feed on a daily basis and there is a variety of topics and issues that appear over and over again. One political issue that is common on my feed involves Donald Trump. There are many videos that show his very one sided and degrading comments. Many of the videos are clips from speeches that include him saying how awful Muslims are. Aside from that, there are many other different types of videos that show all of the immature things Trump says.
When looking at the videos that have to do with Donald Trump, I often look at the comments. There are many supporters of Trump that feel it is right to say ugly things about Muslims and others. I disagree with these comments completely because I feel that many people, like Trump, are just looking for a target to blame, get rid off, and move on. I feel that the things Trump and his followers say is just not right and it always bugs me to see it on my Facebook news feed. I strongly disagree with the many people that feel Trump is the answer to America's problems.
I rarely like or share things on Facebook but a current issue that is important to be is abortion. The topic of abortion is important to be because I've had family members and friends who have gone through it. There is a lot of controversy around this topic and I see it often in me Facebook feed. I personally believe in pro-choice because I feel that a women has the right to do what she wants with her body and often there are many serious and good reasons for needed or wanting an abortion. I don't feel that it is right for others to demand that abortions be illegal because it is taking away women's choices and could lead them to use unsafe measures. I also don't like how people refer themselves as "pro-life" because it makes me feel that anybody who isn't against abortion is someone that loves killing unborn babies. I think that people who don't agree with abortion are wrong because they shouldn't be able to dictate how women live their lives and the choices they make.
Something I am concerned with is the rising cost for colleges. I'm passionate about this because I am going to be a college student soon and I don't want to graduate with an extreme amount of debt. I feel that colleges shouldn't be so expensive because modern society should want the younger generations to acquire as much knowledge as possible. Many people often don't go to the colleges they can get into because it is too much money. Some colleges aren't even worth going to because of the amount of debt a person would have, and the fact that there is never really a guaranteed job out of college anymore is scary. I think colleges should cost less because everyone deserves a great education and we students shouldn't have to ruin our lives with debt or not go to the school of our dreams because it is too expensive.
