Civic Issues Blog Ideas




1. Abortion 

I would review begin by giving a brief review of the history of abortions centered around the Roe v. Wade case. I also hope to review the points of view from Christians, Conservatives, mothers (that receive abortions). Furthermore, I would like to review the current issue of overturning Roe v. Wade and what it takes to overturn this decision











2. Art Forgeries 
Have you ever want your own "Van Gough Original"? Art forgeries are imitations of pieces from a famous artist. In my Civic Issues Blog would talk about the science of forgery in art, would also review the process of forging and selling art, and I will also mention the ethics associated with this issue.

    I really like your idea about art forgeries, and I think especially because of the topics you are looking to discuss, it will be a really interesting way to cover the intersections between art, science, law, and ethics. I think the way you chose to frame your approach for the abortion topic–that is, mainly through the lens of Roe v. Wade–will make that blog a more unique way of viewing the issue (contrary to the more broad one typically seen).

Introduction

The Brightline is a railway system that takes its passengers to and from metropolitan areas of Florida such as West Palm Beach, Ft.Lauderdale, and Miami. The Brightline is the nation's deadliest railway, with more than one death per month. This is more than all of the 821 railways in the US. Many of these deaths are a result of suicide or reckless behavior (ie. trying to beat the train or playing drinking games too close to the tracks, etc.). Railway suicide does not only impact the families of the deceased but the passengers and staff on the train and the communities around the area of the incident. Brightline as a company has an inadequate way of addressing suicide prevention and preventing reckless behavior. Despite the clear need for effective change, Brightline has not yet found an efficient way to address this issue. Brightline has partnered with Operation Lifesaver non-profit focused on creating railway safety education. Operation Lifesaver has an abundance of resou...

Paradigm Shift Essay Ideas

The rise of Internet Radio. Today, when we listen to music it usually comes from a streaming app such as  Spotify, Pandora, or Tidal, but how did we get here? In my essay, I will review how the rise of the smartphone and the fall of music players such as the iPod or MP3 contributed to the creation of Internet Radio. I will review what made the iPod popular in the first place and how the integration of capabilities smartphones contributed to the fall of the handheld music player. Furthermore, I will discuss what made the smartphone so revolutionary and how did this contribute to the rise of Internet Radio.  I will also discuss how the accessibility of apps publicized Internet Radio. The Origin of Modern and Contemporary Art I also thought about writing about the shift from realism to modern art starting with the creation of the daguerreotype. A daguerreotype is an early version of a photograph.  This created a dilemma amongst artists of the 19th century....

The Brightline : The Nation's Deadliest Railroad

The Brightline is a high-speed railway system that connects Central and South Florida.  What would take three to four hours in a car ride would take only an hour on the Brightline. According to the Tri-Rail Commuter Service, the national amount of fatalities is 1 for every 100, 000 miles. The Brightline's average is 1 every 29,000 miles. That is about one or more deaths a month. It is important to note that many of the deaths are a result of suicides or reckless behavior. The problem that arises is the lack of regard for suicide prevention and reckless behavior. There are several plausible solutions to this problem. One inadvertent cause is the issue of reckless behavior. Reckless behavior in this sense is a fatality that is the result of a person ( a driver, cyclist, or a runner) tries to beat the train. A solution that came to mind is the patrol of intersections between streets and railroads. This would prevent people from attempting this type of behavior. More specifical...
