social issues

Two pressing social issues that have become increasingly prevalent in recent years are random acts of violence and gay rights. In the past years, there have been countless shootings of innocent people for little to no reason whatsoever. The growing violence we see in our society has created a numbness to tragedy and a heightened sense of danger and personal safety. Another issue is the focus on gay marriage, and whether or not denying two people of marriage is a civil rights issue. Some argue that marriage is a Church practice that should be between a man and a woman, and some argue that homosexuals deserve to have the same rights as any other person.
