Society sees the homeless as the unworthy and less fortunate population of the world. Society looks down on the homeless and pity’s them. They throw spare change in their hands and then go on with their lives not giving them another thought.

College Athletes Deserve Pay, Mentheep John
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Sports have and always will be important to Americans. There has always been a huge debate on whether collegiate athletes should be paid or not. College athletes should be paid off the position they play and their work ethic. People tend to build up a hard work ethic expecting to be rewarded in the end. For athletes, that may mean the National Football League (NFL) or National Basketball Association (NBA), but why can’t they be rewarded for their hard work while in college? If professional athletes are worth millions and get a salary, college athletes should be paid as well.

Nowadays, life can be considered more simple, logical, and strategic because of the use of technology. The way technology has developed and affected the world is astronomical.

The true definition of dumb is “lacking such fundamental cognitive capacities as the ability to think critically and logically” (Begley, 2014). People quickly blame technology for the lack of skills in children and are quick to call them dumb.

De-Escalation Training, Ellia Mora
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
De-escalation training has been widely implemented by U.S. police agencies in the wake of adverse public reaction to recent controversial police use of force incidents.

Why We Should Defund The Police, Shelby A. Sanchez
Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects
Ninety-nine percent of the police departments budget throughout the country increases every year into the billions. More money is spent on keeping the “peace” than investing in young students to assure they have a bright future, avoid violence and in return, bring true peace to all communities.

Instead, minority communities need resources and tools to break the cycle of poverty and crime. Defunding the police is a controversial topic and dangerous to bring …
