Indigenous history is largely ignored in public school education in the United States, which results in problematic consequences for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Indigenous children experience marginalization that impacts academics and behavior, whereas non-Indigenous children develop inaccurate beliefs of the Indigenous population—savages, scalping, etc.— that frame and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Fracking is a hot topic of debate because, on one hand, the methane gas that is collected from fracking provides a tremendous boost to the economy, and has the potential to be a more environmentally friendly alternative to coal. On the other hand, fracking has been proven to be a major pollutant of the atmosphere and ground water sources, and a major health risk for people who live near fracking sites. The major ethical conflict surrounding fracking is whether the economic advantages outweigh the dangers, both to the environment and the health of the people living near the sites.
