Women in Combat

The US pentagon has confirmed the “Ban of Women in Combat” will be lifted. What are some key concerns (pro or con) related to this issue?

Firearms for Faculty

Mass shootings have been a concern for some time now. The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary brought forth greater passion to the firearms debate. In the wake of the event, parents across the country have purchased bullet proof backpacks for their kids and the spectrum of the political conversation includes everything from banning of all firearms to having armed personnel on all educational campuses.

Locally, some Georgia Tech students are requesting rights for students to be able to carry guns on campus and the Georgia Legislature has mentioned a bill that would allow school administrators to carry firearms.

I know you all may have strong opinions on the matter. This is NOT a Second Amendment debate. Here is the specific question for us. Chattahoochee Technical College has armed personnel on campus. Do you think students and or faculty should have guns as well? Please give two to three (2-3) reasons to support your answer.

Women Watching their Weight in 2013?

According to a national survey, fewer American women set a New Year’s Resolution to diet in 2013. Since the early 90s women made the largest group of New Year’s dieters. The number of women who say they're dieting has dropped significantly in the past ten years.

Has the social concept of body image changed in America or something else? What do you think accounts for this dramatic change in national dieting trends?
