JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 25 - Concealed Handgun

Adults should not have the right to carry a concealed handgun. Studies INDICATE that increased gun ownership leads to more gun crimes and unintended gun injuries. For example, they argue that with fewer guns on the street, society would be a safer place. In addition, some of the ESTABLISHED requirements including minimum age, no current drug convictions or commitments to a mental institution, and no prior felony convictions. This is the main argument in which opponents of concealed carry JUSTIFY their positions. Also, proponents of concealed carry say that criminals are less likely to attack someone they believe to be armed. In conclusion, those in favor of concealed carry argue that most adults who legally carry a concealed gun are law abiding citizens and do not misuse their firearms.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 24 - Online Learning

Online learning is not an effective way to educate students. For example, if there ever was a time that you needed help to clarify instructions, it would be a hassle to get ahold of your teacher or even if it was a group project it would take a lot of your time to just get ahold of your partner. In addition, online learning is just another differentiated way of learning for those that needs special education or people that live in remote areas. Also, online learning is not the best for the hands on learners.
In conclusion, people that do take online courses don't really benefit from it. People don't really learn much because everything is all done by your own knowledge.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 23 - Dog Fighting

Dog fighting should not be legal because it is a DISTINCT way of being entertained. It POTENTIALLY leads to other unlawful activities that jeopardizes the lives of the people that fights dogs. If a dog loses a fight the dog is put to sleep in many FORMULAS. For example, they're put to sleep with gruesome chemicals or medicine. People use this as a way to make money and gamble. People call this a sport but it can POTENTIALLY guide people into gangs and selling drugs.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 22

In my opinion, felons should not be aloud to vote because they were opened to a complex life and they ruined that by committing a crime. They probably wouldn't be a good source into changing our nation anyways because when they committed a crime it shows that they aren't responsible enough. Now if someone has made a big change while being in prison, they should have the right to vote because everyone has the right to vote. For the felons that haven't made a change or haven't made an effort into changing should obviously lose that right. Using them as a source into changing our nation is just a bad idea. Their mentality is probably not the best for our nation anyways.
