Eugenics improves biological fitness by enhancing the quality of genetic populations and increasing the chances of desirable human traits. The practice also reduces the likelihood of inheritable diseases and abnormalities.

Eugenics ultimately leads to a loss of genetic diversity. The practice of eugenics is heavily biased against non-white races, the mentally ill, and lower-class citizens. It also targets those with traits that are considered “deficient” genes. Eugenics is historically tied to Nazi Germany, and promoted by Adolf Hitler during World War II.

This position challenges the premise of the question, holding that evangelical Christians do not, in fact, reliably support Donald Trump. It argues that many see his behaviour as an affront to traditional values, and that polling suggests evangelicals are increasingly losing trust in him.

This position holds that, even if Brett Kavanaugh did assault Christine Blasey Ford, it should not derail his nomination. It argues that his character cannot be judged on his distant past, and dismisses the alleged encounter as youthful 'rough horseplay' rather than a disqualifying act.

If the government and the citizenry kept one another in check, plans for the Holocaust would have been effectively halted. Yet, neither party voiced concern. Thus, mass murder continued.

Domestic violence often spikes during economic downturns and stressful times. Now, with the addition of national and regional lockdowns and new self-isolation and quarantine measures, many families may become trapped in abusive situations.

Considering the interconnectedness of allyship, rising global tensions, and widespread imperialism, all actors must bear some responsibility for the outbreak of World War 1.

This position holds that everything we think we know about Freud is questionable. It argues that he carefully curated his own image and twice destroyed his personal papers — that his theories did not really come from his clinical work, and that he did not even invent psychoanalysis.

After his electoral victory in October 20th 2019, Evo Morales faced an orchestrated campaign against his rule, led by his opposition, Bolivia's economic elites and the international community. The campaign concluded with his forced resignation on November 11th.

This position groups the core executive powers the Constitution vests in the president under Article II: nominating cabinet members, judges and officers with Senate consent, issuing executive orders, and organising the federal bureaucracy to see that the laws are faithfully executed.

Existentialist themes have been explored and promoted in fictional works, such as novels and plays, by Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. Existentialism as a literature movement manifests in such works.

Existentialist thinking gained prominence from the late 19th century with key thinkers (and writers) being Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although some thinkers did not explicitly identify with the movement, the emphasis placed on, and their belief in, the free will of agents in determining their life is what lead to them being labelled as existentialist.

A message may become viral not only because of the good arguments employed by the creators, but also because of the "chain reaction" that activates among the users (horizontal user-user engagement)

Facebook is a social networking platform, with over 2.23 billion active users! Facebook offers a smooth and easy user interface allowing users to connect and share data. With the at-home era that is 2020 Corona season, increased traffic and a new subgenre of quarantine challenges have emerged!

This position presents the facial feedback hypothesis of emotion, which holds that there is a direct link between facial expressions and emotional experience. It argues that the expressions we make do not merely reflect our feelings but can actively influence and shape them.

This position holds that factory farms are needed more than ever. It argues industrialised agriculture is essential to feed a growing population, that it produces meat efficiently without wasting resources, and that it forms an economic backbone while satisfying citizens' hunger.

This position holds that factory farming should be a thing of the past. It argues such methods ignore the ethics of rearing livestock for food, and that densely farmed animals are more likely to carry contagious pathogens capable of amplifying future pandemics.

This position offers a functionalist definition: families are defined by what they do, not what they 'are'. It argues that a family is identified by its functions — caring for and supporting members, controlling them, and preserving social equilibrium — a more inclusive way to define family.

Because familial constructs change with social, economic and political constructs, any accurate sociological definition of a family can only apply at the time it is deduced.

This position defines the family, sociologically, in terms of dependency. It holds that what makes a family is the physical and economic dependency its members have on one another — relying on each other for the various forms of support that sustain daily life.

This position defines the family, sociologically, as the setting in which children are socialised. It argues that the family's defining function is rearing and shaping the young — and that, because this can be done in many arrangements, families take a wide variety of forms.

A classic sociological definition of the family was put forward by George Peter Murdock. He asserted that families shared a residence, were somewhat economically integrated, and are built around the reproductive relationship of the parents.

Individuality, ethnicity, and unusual ideas can be safeguarded by a federal government. Uniform policy frequently creates conflict. When regional autonomy is respected this conflict can be avoided.

Federalism creates a balance of power which can prevent any one group from becoming too strong. The central government is checked against the regional government and vice versa.

Federalism a pure form of democracy. It allows people to participate in a way that is meaningful to them on a local level. The wants and needs of individual groups can be better served by a combination of a central and regional government.

This position holds that felons should vote even while incarcerated. It argues voting is a fundamental right of citizenship the state should not strip away, that prisoners remain citizens affected by those elected, and that disenfranchisement falls disproportionately on minorities.

This position holds that felons should regain the vote once they have served their sentence. It argues that, having paid their debt to society, they should not be punished indefinitely — that all their rights should be restored, and that taxation without representation is unjust.

This position holds that felons should never be allowed to vote. It argues that by committing serious crimes they have shown disrespect for society, that voting is a privilege rather than a right, and that they have forfeited any say in who governs the community.

Sex-positive feminists view many radical feminist views on sexuality, including views on pornography, as being equally oppressive as those of patriarchal religions and ideologies, and argue that anti-pornography feminist discourse ignores and trivializes women's sexual agency.

Social factors that put people more at risk for violence are reduced access to resources, increased stress due to job loss or strained finances, and disconnection from social support systems.
