I plan to help get a source of medical aid in New Orleans East. To do this, I’m going to form a petition and have as many residents as possible sign it. After that, I will either send a copy of the petition to City Hall, present this petition at a local New Orleans East [...]

My way of helping the world become a better place is by creating the Helping Patients Recover (HPR) program. Improving the world can start with improving the lives of people. This can be done by helping them when they are ill. Being in a hospital is a much more pleasant experience when [...]

I believe that racism, pollution, and poverty are the biggest problems the world faces today. Racism seems to be an ugly pattern sewn into not only the fabric of America, but the rest of the world as well. In America, African Americans represent an unusual and disproportionate amount of the jail/prison population. In [...]

My hurricane story is not like most other students at Xavier because I was not a student or resident in the city at the time of the storm. This is my first semester at Xavier; however, I am a resident of the state and my home is in a small town by Baton [...]

When I look at the world that we live in today, I see many problems that we need solutions to. The three biggest problems that I see the world facing are racism, poverty and violence. These are really important issues that we as a world need to address because so many people are [...]

Straight to the point my project is aimed to help children in need in under-developed countries. I am doing a donation to raise $500 to go to the American Red Cross Tsunami Relief Effort, and also at the same time promoting an online website dedicated to WorldVison- one of the leading child sponsorship programs. Through [...]

I don’t know how many times I have seen it, but I’m probably sure you’ve seen it also. You’re watching TV, and then it cuts to the commercials. A child is shown living in a inhumane environment eating off of garbage, flies are seen flying everywhere. It’s a commercial for you to help sponsor a [...]

My project for the semester is probably dealing with people health issues. The problem that I am focusing on is high blood pressure. What I can do is help people realize that danger of high blood pressure. My family and I sell food at our grocery store, so I can lower the salt that we [...]

Where should I begin with my Katrina story? Before the horror began or after hurricane Katrina ruined everyone lives? I’m going to try to make a long story short. It all began when we found out a category 5 hurricane was coming our way. In my mind I didn’t think [...]

I understand that the course’s plagiarism policy means that I must blog about my own ideas and not anyone else’s. And if I do want to use another person’s idea to help express my own, I must document the source of the work.
There is no such thing as “The Bible” because it is just [...]

The three big problems that I see facing the world today are war amongst the different countries, lack of a cure for A.I.D.S and poverty. It seems that no one can respect the next person’s culture. Every other country wants to force their way of life on the next country. And it [...]

I am from New Orleans. But I went to a party that Friday, before the Hurricane, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So I was aware of the hurricane warning, but did not pay much attention to it. Our city had plenty of warnings that were very threatening in the past, but never actually [...]

My project is to support breast cancer awareness. I will be selling pink breast cancer awareness bracelets and all the money will go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation where they use the money to set up programs around your community who will offer free mammograms for the purpose [...]

In week two, the three biggest problems facing the world that I addressed was AIDS, violence and poverty. I’ve done a lot of thinking to come up with something I can do to help address one of the problems I’ve addressed. I guess the most effective thing I can do is to educate [...]

There are many problems within our society today. I am not going to just focus on one problem but rather on a few. Each month I am going to try to help solve a certain problem. Therefore, I can say that I have put an effort in correcting several problems rather than [...]

With the many problems facing the world today it is hard to isolate three without taking attention away from others. This assignment allowed me to take necessary steps to find problems on a global scale and not just affecting my demographic. I normally do not stay abreast to current news, local or otherwise, [...]

There are many problems in this world and too many to name. These problems exist because of disorder in society. There is no way that these problems in this world can be eliminated but can only be alleviated. Some of the biggest problems I think that the world is facing today are [...]

The problem that I felt I could do most about to change the world is apathy. I aim to make young people more aware of today’s issues, and to help them to actually care by showing them how current events relate to their lives. To do this, [...]

As I said in my last blog, I feel that apathy is a huge problem in the world today. It is also something that I find myself combating personally, so I have a special interest in riding the world of it. My [...]

Today, our world has many problems that can be addressed, but only a few is making our world turn upside down. Violence, education, and pollution are the three most major problems that I see facing the world today.
The first major problem that I see today would be violence. It happens everywhere in the society today, [...]
