LOTS of Things are Wrong!!!

          Here in Miami, Barnes & Noble is the only bookstore here in Miami after Borders closed. It shouldn’t be the only bookstore where we can purchase books. A Books-A-Million store should be constructed here in Miami for students to quickly locate books for classes; probably, they would order from B & N if they didn’t have a book a student needs and wait a few days. Books-A-Million would be there for a student to surely find the books they need in a short amount of time.

          Barnes and Noble is totally unfair when it comes to non-member customers. I mean, seriously, the store is a book haven where thousands of books are being sold, yet members of Barnes and Noble seem to get the better discounts. Non-customers only receive coupons that are not even good enough. Also, there are only a few selected books that I don’t like that get discounted. Barnes and Noble should have better sales for a lot more young adult novels and send out and/or post high percentage coupons than just 15%.

          There are some housing areas in Miami that had not switched to a recycling program and are efficiently wasting recyclables. Recyclables thrown away into waste will cause a major garbage pile. Every single housing area should switch to the recycling program for more recyclables to be sent to the recycling center and keeping less waste from piling up. It’s also good for the environment and providing fewer resources to be wasted by using recycled products.

          What’s terribly wrong in Miami is how much traffic there is often, not to mention car accidents as if they have to happen daily. There is also the horrendous act of young drivers always speeding. People getting their driver’s licenses should understand the importance of driving carefully or they’ll be another “Drive Safely” sign. Young drivers should specifically know that speeding just for the thrill of it is idiotic. I think drivers need to see how reckless driving causes many dangers so the accident rate can gradually decrease, making roads safer for responsible drivers.

          War is a major problem that seems to always happen around the world, causing too many people to worry and many innocent lives being lost. Towns are destroyed in which they look like cheddar cheese from up in the air. Many soldiers are sent, making their families hope and pray for their safe return or awaiting for the bad news letter which could come at any time.

          Many endangered species are being hunted every day, the population decreasing as animals are suddenly turned into gourmet meals, fur coats, or the ugliest wall hangings I had ever seen in movies—so tacky! The main thing is that many animals are hurt around the world and it should be our job to help save them. The word should be known that everyone should help protect the world’s animals before they disappear from the face of the earth.

          Physical, verbal, and sexual abuse is a terrible crime still going on around the world that needs special attention. Women, children, and animals are physically and mentally hurt once they have been assaulted. Women and young children are raped or sold off in the black market, known as human trafficking. They are even abused at home which can scar them mentally for life if they do not get the proper help to cure them. Even in school, bullying has taken on a whole new meaning: when kids are bullied, some would take their life away to end the suffering. Lies are posted up on the Internet—cyberbullying—to easily make fun of someone popular kids would believe as pathetic, causing those kids to become hurt. Animals are cruelly used for men to gain easy money, but if they lose, the life of a poor animal is lost. It should be the government’s and our job to give people who have been hurt the proper care to save them and know that everything will be alright by stretching out our hands and taking theirs to let them know you care.

          Gun control seems to not be strong enough if some teenagers are able to sneak a gun past security to start a shooting or dangerous criminals with guns are able to walk freely anywhere before planning an attack. A tighter search party should be organized to thoroughly search for guns and stop teenagers or criminals from using them before they take a life.

          Many developing countries are suffering from living under unfortunate conditions, such as rundown houses, not enough food to feed their whole families, not enough money due to not being able to easily find jobs, and having little water to drink. The government and volunteers should help these people by giving them the necessary supplies they need, especially if a natural disaster happens. We should find a way to build up developing countries, as well as providing them with medical treatments if there are people with diseases.

          Bombs are another issue since people can make their own homemade recipes of bombs, just like what happened at the Boston Marathon. We need to work hard, as well as the government, to stop terrorists and/or seemingly ordinary people from making these explosions of terror before someone gets hurt or cross over into the light by providing better security and develop plans to find bombs quickly.
