Free Healthcare For Everyone
In many places around the world, human beings are denied healthcare due to the contents of their wallets. This leaves people choosing between their lives and their bank accounts, a situation no one should be put in. Offering free, universal healthcare is a solution that would provide everyone, regardless of their economic status, free access to healthcare whenever they need it. However, universal healthcare can increase taxes and potentially make waiting times for medical procedures longer. Free, universal healthcare should be provided for everyone around the world. Free access to healthcare is a human right that could reduce the pain and suffering of billions of people. 
Free healthcare would allow people to go to the doctor whenever they need to, instead of enduring the agony of illnesses due to the high cost of care. The Alma-Ata Declaration, an important event in global health history, helped raise awareness of universal healthcare as a means of reducing suffering and misery. Other organizations, such as the United Nations and World Health Organization have been proponents of universal health care for these reasons as well (Bloom et al.). This demonstrates that large world organizations see the importance of providing universal health care as a human right to reduce the distress and hardship that people have from not having access to affordable healthcare. Although other organizations, governments, and corporations do not always agree with this idea, it is logical that human beings deserve the right to live their best, healthy lives. Without access to free healthcare for everyone, this is not possible. On top of helping sick people in need, universal healthcare could also save the world money in the long run. 
A key advantage of universal healthcare is it could help reduce and treat the number of people with chronic diseases, which are often expensive to treat once the diseases have reached later stages. In the United States, there are a large number of people with chronic health conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and type II diabetes. These diseases end up costing not only those affected, but strain the U.S. economy as well. If these people had access to free healthcare, these diseases could be better managed (Zieff et al.). This evidence shows that universal healthcare could save money for governments and economies in the long term. By treating chronic diseases, countries like the United States could eventually see their healthcare costs decrease, while also providing their citizens with the care they need to be healthy. Although universal healthcare has the potential to help sick people in need and save money, there are some possible downsides as well. 
Some people think that free universal healthcare would be too expensive to start and that it leads to longer waiting times for procedures. Many researchers agree that the implementation of universal healthcare would include heavy start-up costs, primarily in the areas of infrastructural changes to the healthcare system, insuring and treating uninsured and unhealthy parts of the population, and expanding services that were not previously available (Zieff et al.). The financial cost of starting universal healthcare is also described by researchers as a barrier that would end up costing citizens even more than current private healthcare systems (Bloom et al.). In addition, another common argument against universal healthcare is that it leads to longer wait times for patients to see doctors and for important procedures. Canada is a prime example, where the average wait time for arthroplastic surgery was 20-52 weeks in 2017 (Zieff et al.). Despite the upfront costs of universal healthcare, it could ultimately be a system that reduces long term costs through the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. Also, cost should not be a factor when discussing the health of human beings, the most important part of a happy existence. Although longer wait times are expected for care, individuals should be willing to wait if that means that everyone can be given the same access to these vital procedures and appointments. With healthcare treated as a human right and not just the right of those with money and insurance, our world would be a better, more equitable place.
Universal healthcare that is free to all people should be a human right for all. This type of healthcare would eliminate the predicament of having to shell out large amounts of money to get treatment and reduce the medical hardship placed on people in many current healthcare systems. On top of this, despite the start-up costs, universal healthcare could lead to money being saved over time by treating chronic health conditions. With universal healthcare, the days of deciding between someone’s life or their money would be over, and this would be a better world for everyone.

Prompt: Students will be asked to investigate hashtags used to raise awareness about social issues. To successfully complete this project, students must submit an essay in APA format, where they will give an overview of the history behind these hashtags, their goals, their relevancy, and their impact on society. 
Filter I picked: #NoFilter 
#nofilter 
These have to be answered: 
Who – #NoFilter 
What – is a hashtag used on social media to indicate that no filter has been used, helps to communicate the authenticity of one’s photos 
When – 
Where – used mostly on Instagram 
Why – tells one’s followers that they do not need a filter. Also, to convince your followers that your physical appearance is completely natural and perfect. Effects people’s perception and reality on who you are and how you look 
How  – social media plays a huge role in people’s lives and play into their appearance and thoughts about their self thus affecting how they may think about their self-worth and exception 
Quote 1 & 2) 
“lying on photo editing techniques, like filtering, in order to receive more positive attention (i.e., likes, comments). Chae (2016) found that females who spent more time on SM sites had increased behaviours of self-editing photos.” 
“ These filters can alter pictures by intensifying shadows, brightening highlights, making the photo lighter, giving it a vintage look, smoothing/washing out skin tones, and countless other effects (Messiah, 2016).”

3) Quote 
“Recent findings suggested that it is not only exposure to typical forms of media (i.e., television, magazines, etc.) but also social media (SM) that is creating these unattainable, media-reinforced, societal body ideals and, thus, potentially contributing to increased body dissatisfaction, decreased self-esteem, increased negative mood states, and increased disordered eating behaviours.”
(Fardouly, Diedrichs, Vartanian & Halliwell, 2015; Lewallen & Behm-Morawitz, 2016; Kim & Chock, 2015; Sidani, Shensa, Hoffman, Hanmer & Primack, 2016)
Thesis: The #NoFilter provides a space for others to create an altered reality to feed into the ideal social media standard of appearance through the acts of editing and filtering photos. Thus constructing a plethora of difficulties for everyone using social media t, giving unrealistic expectations within body and appearance.

OBJECTIVITY? For many journalists, objectivity is sacred. But some editors no longer agree, especially in the Digital Age, and some observers think it’s impossible to attain true objectivity. Read at least two opposing views (see below) and discuss. One is by Len Downie, a former top editor at The Washington Post. The other is by Martin Baron, another former top editor at The Washington Post. Also read a separate story by Ben Smith in The New York Times.
