This stigma is more placed on men because most people expect them to not cry in most situations because of their masculinity. Crying is more acceptable in American society then most other places but it still is a bit stigmatized here. Like it said in the video in Japanese culture it is stigmatized to show negative emotion in front of people or at all which is very unhealthy for people. The teacher is trying to teach people crying is ok and a healthy thing to do. I don’t think people need to be taught how to cry because everyone knows how to, they need to be taught that it is ok to cry because that's the problem that people have. Some families and people are naturally more emotional than others but that doesn’t really matter, people should be able to cry if they need to. I don’t cry too often. I cry if something really bad happens to me or I’m really frustrated. I don’t really know of any health benefits of crying but it's probably helpful. I do not feel better after crying. If I cry in front of others I do feel embarrassed. |

“The national parks are intertwined with the economy of Western states.

But these communities are now struggling and many of the jobs related to tourism have been lost. The GAOA is expected to create more than 108,000 new jobs to repair park infrastructure, including access roads and bridges in these adjacent communities.
“In general, support for the national parks cuts across party lines. But this year, several incumbent Republican senators and members of Congress face tough electoral battles in November.

So, it's not a matter of preserving laws that cause racism, but it's the preservation of the idea of racism that continues to make this issue ongoing. | 9daefca73f005e22524765ad21a714e634b2d21ca6a9b74dacbcd4f297c4b4a5 | ['154086cb9a254af791135240b08b1fd4'] | <PERSON> I like your viewpoint in that children become what their parents make of them. Many can say that their opinions are swayed because of what their parents taught them, or what they grew up hearing. Our opinions can always change through the enlightenment of new information, but our foundations lie with our upbringings. That means that ethical ideas like morals and kindness can be learned, but also means racism, hatred, and rudeness can be too. Our outlook on subjects depends on our identities, upbringings, experiences, and perspectives. With the enlightenment of inequality to minorities and other individuals, do you think this generation, when they foster children of their own, will turn from these ideas of racism and teach their children to look at everybody as equal? |

It appears that kids are less likely to fall sick with CoViD-19, but how many become carriers and spread the virus?
Currently there are too many unknowns, for example: is re-infection possible? Do antibodies really convey immunity for CoViD 19? How long is the incubation period, and when do people become contagious?
Before we have some more information, I would be extremely cautious - just look to Italy, Spain and NYC!!!! | a81c800867aec8aef00a1ac7461319551909acba692120c23618bb1818a2fbb6 | ['154f71d628d646f0bddbb3750127083d'] | @David
Pls do not politicize this issue as all citizens have the right to a safe environment.

Unions that do not recognize this second responsibility and that do not want to participate in solving societal problems should be abandoned by their members and shamed by the public. |

It is common for college presidents of major universities to make salaries over $500,000 per year.

We must invest in green technology as well as things like contraception, family planning, and female education and empowerment in the developing world—all these have been shown to reduce population growth.
One of the main general reasons for rapid population growth, as you may know, is that there’s a time during the development of a country when they’re able to drastically limit childhood mortality, but are still accustomed to having many children to support the parents in old age. With more economic security and better education, countries are able to move beyond that stage, but it will be that much harder to do so when climate change is afflicting them.
All we can do is to help them move through that stage through international aid and by drastically reducing our emissions. What else can we do? | e3fe44633fe9fcb978f09b158672aaf80941339b464bc547d396d8d90e259479 | ['19592463e23f4ecfac30506dd206eea8'] | <PERSON>

"We Live Online. Hurricanes and Blackouts Mean Enormous Isolation."
Recently my town experienced a storm that passed quickly but left a decent amount of damage in its wake. Not only did trees go down, but lots of people's electricity went out. My neighbors being some of the people affected. My own electricity flickered on and off for most of the day, but later it stayed on. Even though this wouldn’t be my first power outage, this one definitely felt different. With that said, I found myself clicking on the article as I could already relate to its title.
As I am a teen who has a phone I'm used to everyone saying I live online or am addicted to the internet. Which in this pandemic might just be true. We all are guilty of using the internet as a way to escape reality. More importantly, the internet has been a way to remain safely connected to friends and family during these scary times. This of course leads to a feeling of isolation when our new normal way of contact has been taken away from us by power outages. One of the interviewees, a fellow new jersey resident, mentioned that during Hurricane Sandy there was always a sense of community. Yet now, with such strict guidelines to social distance, it has been hard to feel anything but alone. Which leads to these days of no power feeling a lot scarier. | 3e0d369dfd80b233c995f646a9b0d9f04fa04165f5ccbf5f7796d59c1cb0c48a | ['1a38909cd7aa469fb4fca98727c4e9ec'] | bengal11IsabellaO
"A.O.C. Unleashes a Viral Condemnation of Sexism in Congress"
For so many years I have read of men getting away with derogatory comments towards women and it has almost become the 'norm'. In fact, people will brush it off with the reasoning of "boys will be boys". To which I can not agree with at all and it seems that House Representative <PERSON> agrees.
Thus, with such a riveting title, I could not help but click on the article. There has been many times I have heard about A.O.C. whether it be on television or in conversation. Many of her moments were ones I could admire and her speech on the House floor was one of those moments. To read about someone who spoke out so openly about something many have begun to settle with was eye-opening. She did not let herself be silenced, nor did she let other's be silenced. In her time on the floor A.O.C. invited other women who have faced sexism in congress to speak about their experiences.
She brought many excellent points in her speech which would hopefully leave even the stubbornest of people in thought. Being a girl with a twin brother, I have easily seen small acts of sexism. After all my brother and I are of the same age, same upbringing, and same education but the difference with the difference of gender. |

Hi <PERSON>,
While I like the simplicity and grace of your version (3 concise words), I think that it is too abstract/general for this particular election.
By adding the four words of "science," "nature" and "each other," Mr. <PERSON> is establishing a powerful context that will more clearly and concretely differentiate <PERSON> from <PERSON>.
"Honesty. Decency. Unity" can be used in any election, at any level, and is therefore, more general.

I truly think that the DNC and most of the party apparatus has no real conception of what "rural" actually means or what rural life looks like. I live in a town of about 80,000, and it's still the town where people within an eight county radius goes to shop. For most of us who live in the interior, "rural" means incorporated towns with around 4,000 people or less. Readers in major metro areas may find this statement cute, but the suburbs of Indianapolis are quite distinct from, say, Bicknell, Indiana. Both require different messaging and outreach strategies, though the DNC doesn't bother with messaging or outreach in either.

It needed airplanes fast but there wasn’t enough manufacturing capacity. The answer was to covert auto factories into aircraft factories. But this presented another dilemma. Retooling the factories was expensive and no one knew how long the war would last, so the auto companies didn’t know if they would ever make their money back. The solution was that the government paid for the retooling of the factories so long as the manufacturers set themselves up to be self-sufficient once they started making the planes. The exact same dilemma faced the testing labs in the spring when the pandemic hit. Sure, they had the ability to scale up, but not knowing how long the pandemic would last they couldn’t make the investments to do so. The obvious solution was to have the feds pay for a WW2-style buildup. But because the president was claiming that there were already enough tests, no such campaign was undertaken. And so here we are. Insufficient supply chains and underpowered lab automation. And testing shortages and exhausted workers. |

The risk of messing with such an incredibly complex system is very high, because we can't possibly accurately model or predict all the potential consequences.
Human history is full of small-scale bio-engineering interventions (i.e. introduction of non-native animal species in an attempt to control some kind of pest) that have failed spectacularly and caused devastating results to local ecosystems. It's pure hubris to believe we understand geo-engineering interventions any better. Only instead of local results, the consequences will be global. | 2d2de821a0a8f4315c9ea947cd42d2548c3e132b96cc608b95aa2accdfefa632 | ['2024758ae86249afbecffe6aa2743db6'] | It doesn't matter that there is nothing socialist about the Democratic platform so long as the Republican media apparatus, led by Fox News, keeps sowing FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) among their viewership.

If that were the case, I believe <PERSON> has not read the Iranian leadership correctly in that they are much more pragmatic than he understands. What is dangerous is his disregard for American policy and his willingness to disrupt long term diplomacy to "get even" with <PERSON> for beating him in the election.

Most people are afraid of things like snakes or crocodiles, and see the negatively. I do not. I could go on tanjon about these things and would talk for hours if I could. I’ll just spit out a few facts for the fun of it now. Snakes can hear but not very well, thy have ears on the sides of their heads just covered with skin. When snakes are eating they don’t actually unhinge their jaw, they have a special bone and stretchy skin near their jaws that allow them to stretch their jaws so wide. Poisonous animals are animals that can only hurt you if you bite it, venomous animals will hurt you if it bites you. Most poison frogs are brightly colored, this is called being aposematic and it warns predators about their toxant. The study of reptiles and amphibians is called Herpetology. Most chameleons take more than one day to change color for camouflage, but they sometimes change color based on how they’re feeling. Alligators are very different from Crocodiles, alligators are darker, bigger, have a weird snout, live in mostly freshwater, and mostly eat big mammals. While Crocodiles are smaller, are lighter green color, have a thin snout for catching fish, and live in fresh and saltwater. If a turtle is flipped over it is not stuck, it uses its long snake=like head to flip itself back over. That's all I’m going to say for now. So clearly, I like the topic of Herpetology. | b8a90e04b743302362296f4f2c619a506d54d6923d60474f61a8cf182d9a3844 | ['2092fd150c554fcab662d9b69e2a44bf'] | I’m bi-racial, so most of the time people don't know what my race is, so they don’t really bother me about it. Even though I'm partly white I would consider myself a person of color, because people don’t look at me and think, “Oh look, it’s a white girl.” My dad talks about race and racism all the time, and often goes on long tanjong about it. He even bought a book for me, called Power Nomics, which essentially teaches you how to make money if your black, and the disadvantages you face. It also talks about white privilege and how, depending on the color of your skin, it’s easier or harder to make money, or really do anything. I’ve never been teased by anybody for my race, and I hope that in the future, neither me or anybody else will have to worry about that happening in the first place. |

<PERSON> resigned and was not kicked out. Ok I saw the picture. I also noticed she was wearing a flak jacket. It struck me when I was looking at the photo that the irony of trying to touch a women’s breast through a flak jacket is the main thrust of the humor that is being communicated. Also it is a nod to the hazard the entire entertainment troupe was facing on their mission to bring a few minutes of respite to the hundreds (thousands?) of soldiers they met and entertained during this visit. Also <PERSON> is not doing this on the sly or in the shadows, it is obvious he is amused by the irony, and in an unguarded moment he lets his sense of humor get the better of him and poses for a picture of a crude, lewd and lame sight gag. Notice he is posing for the camera, acting like a groper and not ogling Ms. <PERSON>. Is it OK he had done it? No. Is it funny? Not to me. But sometimes in stressful situations good and decent people do foolish things. I know I have. This happened when <PERSON> was a stand-up comedian and an outstanding comedy writer. He wasn’t even running for office at the time. He became a powerful Senator, (because he was so sharp) and a force to be reckoned with. There was no one more serious about proper behavior as a Senator than <PERSON>. It was political hay. Comedic entertainers are crude and lewd at times. Senator <PERSON> however, was an outstanding statesman that put the country and his constituents first. | f32ae432c334036d8cd1a18c8662015b5ce35b375389ac88e234950a88bf6090 | ['20d27f48bdcf4141815e3aad78558121'] | The tolerance of right wing propagandist media enables and encourages the positions of those who would support malevolent political edifices, such as the <PERSON> presidency.

We can't get other countries to get on board unless we do so. In fact, we need to lead the way. BTW, the US is 25% of the problem. Not 15% as you stated. With 5% of the world's population we're 25% of the problem. So changing our ways would in and of itself make a significant difference.

In the article written by <PERSON>, she addresses the hot-button issues: whether the substitution of schooling amid the coronavirus pandemic affected people’s perspective toward home-schooling.
As an Asian high schooler, choosing to home school is not so commonplace, especially for public students. However, thanks to the pandemic, I could finally experience what virtual learning is like. Hence, what I reckon is that homeschooling would relatively benefit a student as well as their parents. Concerning the country Vietnam, which is not so familiar to remote studying, had successfully shifted all courses, from math to good citizenship, online. Even the nation’s professors, who had little experience with the cutting-edge technologies, tried to figure out how to use Zoom or Microsoft Teams. As a result, barely any cases recorded among school students for over 100 days.
Moreover, parents' minds would be at ease knowing their kids are safe at home. Besides, they can keep track of how well the young are doing; therefore, they could assist students in various subjects, or aid to find precise resources on social platforms.
Put it simply, the virus might have upended our daily routines, yet it is a prodigious opportunity to get in tune with ourselves and learn in ways never thought possible. In effect, parents opt for homeschooling when deciding whether or not they should send their kids to schools. | 8b0905378ac39e0c38a28009c48f8347cf3ca615556c630178e0c27919d8ff36 | ['2162f1adbb7645a0beead61b4add736b'] | As an avid news reader, this 17-year-old Vietnamese girl finds it hard not to find Coronavirus and education problems trivial.
"Reopening Schools Will Be a Huge Undertaking. It Must Be Done" caught my attention right away. First of all, it is grateful to be a Vietnamese citizen, the nation deserves the tranquility thanks to the dedication of our medical workforce.
It is, indeed, an outrage issue. And it baffled me as much as it did to the writers. The managing procedures have to associate with two primary components: money and spaces. The bill would consist of facial masks and hand sanitizer, and
"Officials need to think outside the school building", which means that outdoor teaching is desired. Otherwise, a different approach no other than virtual classes is yearned for, as no one would ever replace the educator's role, even parents. It is worth noting that whether we reopen schools depends on the stimulus.
The idea of reopening should be concerned, but only in nations that have mitigated the outbreak or underwent no new cases at all for no less than 50 days. The crucial component relies heavily on the country's ability to control the disease. Take Vietnam as an ideal example. Relatively speaking, I confidently confess that the country won the COVID-19 war. Vietnamese returned to their pre-lockdown lifestyle and obviously, students of all ages continue with their tuition.
Unless the virus is neutralized, oppositely, learning would achieve anything but benefit learners. |

It is not global warming that is causing the forest fires. It is that there is no program to clear forests of dead trees and brush that are the fuel for the fire.
Please try to present a balanced and real portrait of the scientific concensus on this matter. Canada appears to have avoided mass fire fires here -- why is that? The fires stop at the border.
