Jones-Drew decision caused
When the Jacksonville Jaguars played the New York Jets on Sunday, the Jaguars won an an interesting way. The Score was 23-21, from a last second field goal from the Jags giving them a 2 point lead. But it's what happened the previous play before that caused issue's to 10,000 fantasy owners. The Jags running back Jones- Drew took a knee at the one yard line rather than just take it in for the score. It was the coaches decision to tell Jones- Drew To kneel it at the one. The coaches told Jones-Drew to kneel it at the one so that the clock can run out and so that the Jags can take a last second field goal to win the game. The result of Jones-Drew not scoring that easy touchdown was 10,000 fantasy owners losing because of that single play.

student achievments
I read an article on yahoo.com that states are setting the standard too low for students and what they need to learn. The argument is that kids and students are not were they should be and they will not progress if education standards are too low. Students will not be prepared for college when they graduate high school and this is because the standards for education are too low. The federal government can't do anything because education is based on the states.

unfair wages are minimum wages
Social justice is ruining the society we live in today. Unfair wages is part of the social justice issues we face. part of unfair wages is the minimum wage. Some believe that the minimum wage is an unfair wage. It can arguably considered an unfair wage because some are in poverty because the minimum wage is arguably low. That is why there are some who want to raise the minimum wage because they think it will cure poverty and help the economy.

Ledbetter Case
In the article i recently wrote my paper on, it talked about the Lilly Ledbetter case. The Lilly Ledbetter case is an example of how women were discriminated with their wages. Lilly Ledbetter worked at the tire firm for 19 years. She pressed charges on the company for gender discrimination because she wasn't getting paid as much as the male workers. She pressed charges in 1998 and won her case. The case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court where in 2007 the verdict was changed. Lilly Ledbetter originally won 3 million dollars in pay damages but the verdict was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. This is a classic situation where women discrimination existed.

Femal Graduates
In my social justice article there is a little part in the section where it has the income of gender graduates. It stated that female college graduates with a bachelors degree's average earning is about $48,000 a year. When the male college graduate with a bachelors degree's average earnings is $61,000 a year. It is clear that women in this data are getting paid $13,000 less a year. That right there can be listed as gender discrimination. It can also be argued that the womens choices of degree's aren't as lucrative as the degree of the average male.
