Read the excerpt from "Say No to the Phone” Technology has detrimental effects on children. The overstimulation, instant gratification, and prolonged screen time cause children to suffer academically. Star City University found that children between 8 and 10 years old spend more time on technology than they do at school. In a follow-up study, they found that children who acquire more than eight hours a week of screen time had a 10% drop in grades. Additionally, Laincher Research concluded that 80% of parents say their children under the age of 11 have screen time daily. The increased screen time is impacting the attention span of users. Not only are children’s productivity levels suffering, but children are also struggling with more concrete assignments such as reading and writing. Truthfully, however, computers are sometimes needed to complete schoolwork. Cellphones are a different story. There is no need for kids to have cell phones. Mobile phones can only harm our children, not help them, so please join me in banning cell phones for children under the age of 15.

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
