Television should be monitored, and changed in ways that would limit the amount of time- wasting shows, replacing them with more educational, informative shows. The FCC should regulate the programs on TV at times, specifically at times when most people are watching. This would help a broader group of the population become more interested and involved in our country or the world.

4 Topic Choices
One topic that i could give an opinion, or both sides on, would be the drinking age in the US.
in other countries, the drinking age is set to a younger age, and in some countries, it is at a younger age than which is required to drive. many positive, and sadly negative things may come of a change such as this.
i also believe that the worlds priorities need to be re-evaluated, to serve the greater good, or even the ultimate "good"
The citizens of any country should have a much greater say in how it is "run". specifically the United States.
TELEVISION is a giant waste of time and destroys people's uniquity!
is should be regulated heavily, or destroyed

“Hooray World.”
If there was a bumper sticker that said only “Hooray World” on it, I think I would find a very great meaning in it. I like to try and feel privileged about life and being alive in one. I try to appreciate things as much as I can and enjoy life while I am not tied down or in “zombie mode” as I sometimes call it.
Life can get very monotonous and routine, so much that many times people will not deviate from their paths day after day, and rarely have a chance to do something different, and maybe even drastic. Specifically, during a busy work week, many times I will look up at the formation of the clouds in the sky and just stare, in awe, at how beautiful nature can be. I love the colors of the summer, the warm winds, how a person can explore any part of the world (mostly) without being incredibly cold, and many more things I probably cannot even describe. The winter to me is just as enjoyable. It is a change of season, literally, and everything about the world seems different. The sky has different patterns in it, and maybe even more colors; the wind is usually brisk and alerts you when it hits your face. The trees and plants look as if they are sleeping, and in limbo. Everything in nature during the winter has a certain calmness about it, and to me, it gives more time to observe it all and appreciate it.
I really enjoy learning new things and observing new experiences. For instance, there is a girl who has a hearing disability sitting next to me. I won’t assume anything, but for me it is a chance to see how a very different person deals with life every day. Every person has unique characteristics, and it is interesting to notice what they must do to get by.
I tend to focus on the lighter side of most things in life, and I hope that I continue looking at the world in that way. This bumper sticker shows a quick, strong appreciation for all parts of the world, as it uses the most general term possible. “World” I am not exactly sure if many other people have this same or a similar viewpoint, but I believe it makes people happy to be able to appreciate small things. The world provides a great situation for appreciation, since there is an infinite amount of aspects, organisms, and experiences to enjoy and wonder about.
