Like most concepts in the world, there are always pros and cons. I’m going to analyze some of the pros and cons of a very important topic, war. War has affected humans for as long as history has been recorded. I’m going to start with some pros.  The first pro that I want to address is economic growth. War opens up opportunities for people to find jobs. The most prominent job that opens up are jobs in factories. Since the country is at war factories need to increase the amount of goods that they are producing, especially the ones that are used in war like ammo and weapons. The second pro that I want to address is technological advancement. In order to win a war a country needs the best equipment. So during times of war, workers and companies work hard to create the best ammo and weapons. These two points kind of go hand in hand because there is a need to be the best and in order to do that, a country will need as many employees as they can. Now moving onto the cons.  Th...

Google , one of the most popular search engines, now has 48 states launching an antitrust investigation on the company. The investigation will focus on the advertising market and whether or not Google broke antitrust law. “In the United States, antitrust law is a collection of federal and state government laws that regulates the conduct and organization of business corporations, generally to promote competition for the benefit of consumers.” So basically antitrust law is in charge of making sure that no company gets too powerful. Google also owns a bunch of smaller companies, which they advertise when you search for something. This causes an issue because it doesn't give other companies a chance to sell or advertise their products. When you look up something on Google, you have to look pretty far down in the search to find a company that is not associated with Google.  Another issue is the use of DoubleClick. “ DoubleClick " was a company acquired by Google in 2008 wh...

As you probably have learned in any U.S. History course, the U.S. Supreme Court was established in 1789. You have also probably learned that the Supreme Court had its first meeting in New York City in 1790 but that it now resides in Washington D.C.  Now there's still a lot to the Supreme Court that you probably didn't learn about in school. There is one fact that I am going to analyze and that is that in the history of the Supreme Court, there have been 112 justices. Out of all 112 of them, only only a handful of them have been part of a minority. Four have been women and one of those women were Latina. Two of them have been African American and eight of them have been Jewish. So 15 of the justices out of the 112 justices have been in the minority. This statistic angers me. It angers me because there is barely any diversity in a system that helps to run our country. So what happens if there is a case that involves a white American and a black American? Throughout histor...
