3)-Abortion is an interesting topic to me because there have been so many cases about it over the years. Its an on going topic in the world and will forever be on the boarder line of politics.
   Some cases against this is that so many people believe its wrong and ties into religion and should'nt be done. Others believe that it should be women's right and be left up to their decision. Now that it has become legal many still try to fight it and make it that it should'nt have been legal from the beginning.
-Marijuna legalization is something that I believe needs to happen only for medical use because I have seen how it can help people. I have a close friend who needed to move from Florida to Colorado because it was legal there.
   Many people believe that marijuna legalized will lead to people doing more and more drugs. They believe that children will become addicted and then they would start to do more and more drugs. The states can decide if they want it to become legal or not. There are some groups who think that the states should'nt decide that they could make the wrong decision and that federal government should decide.
-Nutrition is important because so many people dont do the the right thing for their body. Everyone needs to know the healthy things to do for their body.
  So many people live unhealthy lifestyles that they continue to do and dont make good decisions for their body along with their families. More and more people are trying to push for healthy foods but they are alot more expensive and harder to stay with. Alot of groups try teaching people about healthy foods that are less and easy to stick with.
-Minimum wage is an on going topic for many people because it brings them in more income. I work and make minimum wage which is good for me now because it helps me save.
  New York raised their minimum wage because the living cost in the state is alot higher then in other states. The employees now make more and have more income. The down fall is that employers have to now provide their employees with higher income along with health benefits which puts them more in the hole.
-Religion is important to me because im someone how believes in curtain things and i have seen how far many people have gone to protect it and defend it. There are many groups who try and fight religion and try to stop it in many was.
  Religion has been an on going issue in the world because of how many different beliefs there are in the world and how many people try to push what they want onto other people. The more religions there are the more problems that occur. Many people believe that religion should stay in politics and be what they follow. Others feel that it should stay out and not be pushed because its not what others believe.
