Day 20 - Should there be an ordinance citing people who fail to recycle $50?

It should be a requirement for citizens to recycle. If everyone recycles, there would be a less problem with pollution. However, not everyone does it. Less than half the country recycles. What if the government charged anyone who didn't recycle fifty dollars? This would definitely motivated the country in helping mother Earth, cause less problems with pollution, and benefit to the neighborhoods.

Day 19 - Should schools start later in the morning?

Every school starts their morning a bit too early. This lacks the student from doing work in the first few classes of the day. This is probably why they are failing. If a school starts later in the morning, it would be a huge help to the student. Even if that meant they got out later as well, it would still qualify as the same amount of time as any other normal early day. This would help the student in studies, get them more sleep, and they could get some last minute work done in that morning.

Day 18 - Should people have to get a license to become parents?

The United States of America is always known for the freedom. If a couple wants to get married, have kids, and become parents, it is their choice. It's whatever makes them happy. Why should is be required for someone to own a license for parenting? This is a pointless law. It's a waste of money, and it does not require such actions for a simple job.

Day 17 - Should the government censor internet content deemed inappropriate?

The internet has grown with many websites with many different categories. You have sports, entertainment, and some content that is not appropriate. It is easy for anyone to find pornographic images on the internet. It can even pop up out of no where on accident. The government should definitely block any inappropriate content for better surfing, safer environment online, and keep the young children away from such content.

Day 16 - Should high school students have to complete community service hours to graduate?

Graduation shows that a student has worked their best in building their future. They then have the option to join college and make their future even better, or they can get a job. They have succeeded in over thirteen years of education. What if they had to do community service hours just to have a full graduation? It would be pointless, education is hard enough, and can hold them back for no reason.

Day 15 - Is it appropriate for students and teachers to be friends on Facebook?

Lately, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have been the opened door for bad accidents. For example, there have been over a hundred police reports about teens being harmed by adults stalking them on the internet. It is the easiest way to find out things about a young child that is not needed to be known. Because of this, it is not allowed for teens to add their teachers on Facebook. If they were allowed to, this would not be appropriate whatsoever. It can cause greater problems, lose a teacher's job, and would be a distraction from education.

Day 14 - Should teens over 13 years be allowed into R rated movies?

It seems that the more our generation grows, the more inappropriate content is growing as well. It is a parent's job to keep their children away from it. Likewise, it has become a law for R rated movies in theaters to only allow people eighteen years or older. What would happen if teenagers up to thirteen years old were allowed in R rate movies? This would be a bad influence, a pointless law, and it is very inappropriate.
