    Thesis Statements

    1. The United States has been a major world power since World War I; therefore, the US’s War Crime and Genocide policies and deployment of those policies wield significant, global influence.

    2. Long COVID presents a significant threat to public health and the relative current lack of scientific research and treatments is due to sexism, racism, and ableism.

    3. Books bans have increased throughout the US since 2020, causing some school libraries and classroom teachers extra work as they inventory their books and remove the texts that are banned.
