Issues of Plagiarism
There is a down side to all this technology, and it's called Plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you take information, pictures, etc. from a source, use them, and not give any credit to the source from which you got it. Plagiarism has caused many issues over the years. The internet has made plagiarizing much easier to do. A good way to avoid plagiarism is to record all of your resources when you are studying. And always remember to put information into your own words.

Diversity
Our world is changing socially as well. We have come a long way since the days when the color of your skin, or your religion could change the way you lived. Now we all go to the same schools, live in the same places, and can go anywhere we want. Now we are all equal and have the same rights. Still, not all people think this is right. Even though there is still work to be done, we have come a long way when it comes to diversity.
