"Sexual Harassment: Another Roadblock for Women in Science"

In the article "Sexual Harassment: Another Roadblock for Women in Science" (Oct 22,2015) in La Times by Laura Lopez ,she claims that women that work in the science field are more likely to be sexually harassed. Her claim came upon the recent investigation in UC Berkeley where a former astronomy professor Geoff Marcy was found guilty of sexual harassment to a female student in the years 2001 to 2010. Through out Lopez's investigation she found that there is many cases like the one in UC Berkeley, but yet they are not always publicly announced because women are scared of losing the positions in there career or school. Many women put up with the harassment because they are scared that if they stand up for themselves they wouldn't make a strong argument and no one would support them. Therefor not only is there still a large percentage of women that put up with the harassment but that large percentage are mainly in the science industry.

" Trump Outlines Immigration Specifics"

      In the article " Trump Outlines Immigration Specifics"( August 17, 2015) in CNN politics they talk about the unrealistic way in which he plans on taking out immigrants from U.S land. Trump is planning on forcing Mexico to pay for a wall that he plans on putting between the US and Mexico. Trump also wants to get rid of the law that grants American Citizenship  to any child born in the United States, mainly focusing on taking away citizenship  from those that have immigrate descends. Trump also looks toward to suspending any release of green cards which helps him get rid of the people coming to the U.S for new job opportunity. Overall, Trumps ideology comes off as racist and unrealistic.
