Universal health care is a lot in one. Its overall purpose is to ensure access to quality medical services, to all citizens. It also ensures that even with its use, users potential financial hardships are not exposed. All in all, anyone who needs services gets them, not only those who are able to pay. The cost of using these services puts no one at risk of financial harm as well. With this of course comes controversy as well as pros and cons. Easiest pro is that the cost of health care becomes more affordable and cost friendly. According to The Balance, advantages include "lowering administrative costs, hospitals and doctors now being forced to provide the same standard of service at a low cost, a healthier workforce blossoming, early childhood care preventing future social costs and governments imposing regulations and taxes to guide the population toward healthier choices." According to the same site disadvantages include "healthy people being forced to pay others' medical care, long wait times, doctors possibly cutting care to lower costs, people not being as careful with their health(no financial incentive) and most universal health systems reporting long wait times for elective procedures."

Margaret Nelson established there are three ways in which parents can benefit from technology for parenting. Most highlight negative ways in which children are negatively influenced by technology, but Nelson stated one of the ways in which it may make parenting more convenient is by being able to watch them. Parents can know where their children are with the help of technology, this ensures the child’s safety and allows parents to know if they are up to no good. Second, parents can use technology to set limits for their kids. For example, they can use it to discipline them and also set parental controls that a lot of technology offers. This prohibits kids from doing things that many parents fear. Third, parents can use technology to connect with their children while communicating and learning information about them.

When reading through the Qualtrics Survey Report on the Influence on Voting, there is a lot of different information that I was able to grasp. Through the provided data, 57% of individuals who have participated in this survey range from the ages 18 - 20. 25% of the participants are ages 21-23, 10% are ages between 23-25, and 13% being 25 years old and above. Therefore, the data that was collected seems to be from a sample population of college students. The basic information about the participants that I was able to gather is that the majority are females at 53% and 47% being male. I was also able to determine that the majority of participants are majored in Arts at 41%, while the other two areas of study included Business at 38% and Humanities and Social Sciences at 21%. The areas that appear to be the most significant when first reading through these survey results is definitely the first initial questions about the basic information of the participants. It helps to demonstrate what the overall results of the survey will most likely be.
