Proposal for the US/International Space Programs

I agree with Michael Benson in saying send the ISS somewhere else. The International Space Station should be sent somewhere else because we, as Americans, are not using it and it is wasting money. If we were to sell it to a different country, like China, we would be making a huge profit, one to subsidize the expenses already put into the project. This action could also stand as a test to see if the ISS we built works correctly. After selling it to the Chinese, we would be able to see what problems persist, which would allow us to eliminate those problems if we decided to build another one. If the US does not want to sell the ISS, then we need to get people up to it to utilize it. We could further our research about space in doing so. I am positive there are people in the United States that would love to be the guinea pigs for the ISS. Either one of these proposals will fix the topic of Benson's article states: that the ISS is just wasting space and our money and something needs to be done about it.

It's All About Credibility!

For my third essay, which will define pornography, I found an article online by Michael C. Rea, of the University of Delaware. The article is titled "What is pornography?", and in it, Rea examines the question of what pornography actually is. Rea starts by giving the reader some examples of pornography and some examples of non-pornography, and then goes onto to state some definitions of pornography and the respective problems with those definitions. Rea entails six definitions of pornography, all very different in their own way. After stating all six definitions, Rea then outlines his own definition of pornography, stating that "it comes in two parts, one stating what it is for something to be used or treated as pornography, and the other stating what it is for something to be pornography." Although I do not know if Rea is a student or a professor at the University of Delaware, I believe that this article is very credible, as it seems to be his opinion. Someone's opinion is never wrong, and Rea seems to outline and entertain every different aspect of pornography in a very clear and detailed manner. I believe this article will be of great assistance when I am writing my third essay.
