Essay 4 Ideas
I am not quite sure yet on what I want to write about for essay four. I think with the novel that I read, it is going to be hard to find a social issue to write about. I do have some ideas in mind that could potentially be a topic for me to talk about, but I’m not sure if they are really relevant to the novel I read. Two of the social issues that were discovered in the book are everyone’s need to fit in and the greatest one of all, cell phone usage. Out of these two issues, the one that I think I am most likely going to write about is cell phone usage. I was doing some research on this topic and actually found out that this is a pretty big social issue. Cell phones were the main topic of the novel Cell obviously, so I think this would be a great topic to talk about since it relates so much to the book. So many people spend so much time on their cell phones daily that it just can’t be healthy for you. One way cell phone usage can have a long lasting effect on your body is through over exposure to radio waves for a long duration of time which in return can only heat up the body tissues. Another way cell phones affect our health is by talking on the phone or texting while driving. So many people are killed each year by car accident related deaths. I’m sure you hear all the time on the news that someone was texting while driving and wasn’t paying attention and ended up killing someone or even themselves. This is a sad, but very true fact. I am hoping this essay topic will turn out to be a good choice, but let me know what you think!

Essay 4 Ideas
The state of Texas has different governing bodies and auditors for different types of nonprofits; for example, a foster care program would be overseen by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, whereas the Bay Area SPCA would be handled by a more general office like the Secretary of the State of Texas. These governing bodies are, as you can imagine, inundated with work and unable to keep a good handle on each and every nonprofit. Sometimes, nonprofits get out of hand simply because the person who started their own doesn't have a good handle on rules and reporting expectations. Sometimes the answer is a little more sinister since nonprofits are relatively easy to launch.
My position on this essay is that nonprofits are generally good, but there should be resources and support for the officers and directors of these groups that are easy to access. It woud be wonderful to develop a better system for the state to effectively track these groups, but we are a long way off from that. Once the red tape is minimized, state agencies will be able to regulate more efficiently. As things stand now, offending nonprofits typically don't find out they've done anything wrong until several months (in some cases, years) after the fact.
