Emily Wilburn 2 October 2020 Voting in Texas 2020 has been a pretty crazy year already, and to make it extra interesting it’s also an election year. There is a lot of discussions this year regarding how people will be voting: will the majority vote in person or by mail in? The current president, Donald Trump, has made his stance on voting via mail pretty clear and it has caused some pretty scary conversations. He believes that mail-in voting is voter fraud and that it could rig an election. He even tweeted out saying this, “Mail-In Ballot fraud found in many elections. People are just now seeing how bad, dishonest, and slow it is. Election results could be delayed for months. No more big election night answers? 1% not even counted in 2016. Ridiculous! Just a formula for RIGGING an Election...” Anyways… this has all led to some pretty crazy stuff. Right now in Texas, there is a limitation on the number of ballot drop-off locations. It is limited to one drop off locati...
HOW LONG BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD IS VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19? ( https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-vaccine-covid-19-who-gavi-putin-trump-boris-johnson-health-economy-1524958 ) We still have a long road until the vaccine for covid-19 is complete and ready for the public. Countries need to work together in order to get there with over 750,000 people dead and the poor state of the global economy.GAVI, the vaccine alliance, who has been primarily focused on finding a vaccine for AIDs, has opened a facility where they will try to make the vaccine accessible for all countries, especially poorer ones. Their goal is to deliver at least two billion doses by the end of 2021. They hope to pool together the resources of wealthier countries to help the vaccine reach poorer countries so that it is available for everyone. Since the vaccine can’t ultimately reach everyone, they want to focus primarily on health care workers and people at risk. They aim to vaccinate 20% of the population sin...
Jack Gross The concept of human rights being universal is a fairly recent idea only being codified on an International level (which is the level that matters the most if human rights are being talked about as a universal idea) in 1948 by the United Nations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a document stating the basic human rights that ALL people should be given regardless of well, anything. While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was wonderful in that it took the concept of “what human rights should everyone have” and formalized it in a written text (one that was distributed worldwide and translated into over 500 languages) this process is known as Codification and it is pretty much the first step towards solving any problem, clearly defining the problem and defining the intended goal. However, that is where codification’s usefulness ends as it doesn’t matter how clearly something is stated if no one has to listen to it. The unfortunate thing about the Univers...
