Be truthful to customs officers
Millions of people travel annually. Upon entering a foreign country, the traveler will encounter a person known as a custom’s officer. The officer has an important role in protection the ecosystem. That is why the customs officer will always ask the traveler, “Do you have any fruits, plants or wildlife with you today?” Before I took biology in high school, I thought that question to be a very intrusive one. “If I did, what harm would it cause?” I thought. If I am hungry and wished to snack on a nonnative piece of fruit, shouldn’t I be able to? The truth is that nonnative fruits, plants and wildlife can do great harm to a foreign habitat where the balance of an ecosystem can potentially become skewed, and for this reason, people should be truthful to customs officers.

Bullying must be stopped
Bullying is not just a case of kids being kids. The act of bullying is a serious social issue. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, “Nearly one third of all students aged 12 – 18 reported having been bullied at school, some almost daily.” These victims of bullying miss thousands of school days and become depressed. So who’s responsible? The answer is all of us. We must pass laws which severely punish the offender and allocate the resources needed to teach each citizen about the different forms of bullying; specifically, the physical, emotional, and the social forms.
