Point of View

UNITED STATES—As Americans, many of us would like to believe we have the ability to not indulge in temptations that could be potentially bad for our health. For me, its sweets, however, I’m not always craving something sweet, but I do like baked goods at times, particularly cake and fresh cookies. Let me be clear I’m not the person...

UNITED STATES—Hi Toni: Recently, I had a bad car wreck and ended up with a minor concussion after hitting the windshield and my wife was not significantly hurt. I am 55 years old and have not even thought about future planning. I work for a large company and the company’s financial advisor has never discussed this with me. What do...

UNITED STATES—I’m asked on a constant basis by so many people, why aren’t you more talkative? You seem to be pensive and in a state of thought all the time. Look, I’m not the most sociable person, but I socialize when it best suits me. I’m someone who is more observant of my surroundings more than anything America. I scope...

UNITED STATES—I am someone who has a difficult time smiling in the face of co-workers who I find fake. What do I mean when I say fake? It’s a difficult term to describe at times, but it’s someone who is inauthentic. In other words, you know when a ploy is in place. I think I can read people well...

UNITED STATES—It is really difficult to fathom what is going on in our country right now. It is like a common theme that we have a mass shooting transpire in this country every other week. Maybe that is a bit excessive, but it feels like we have a mass shooting in this country once a month and its getting...

UNITED STATES—I feel like sometimes millennials are treated like punching bags for most Americans. A lot of the chaos that takes place in the world is a direct result of millennials. Look, you cannot place a label on all millennials and group them together. We are NOT all the same; we don’t behave the same and think alike. To...

UNITED STATES—What the hell is this craziness America? A petition to change the official date of Halloween which is October 31 to the last Saturday in the month of October sounds ridiculous. I mean the thought that this is even a thing has me laughing thru my teeth. For years, and I mean years, Halloween has always been on the...

UNITED STATES—Hip surgeons Winston Kim and Adam Hoad-Reddick discuss the challenges posed by tennis superstar, Andy Murray, 32, regarding an operation that is known to be performed on individuals over the age of 50. Murray has had an illustrious career winning three Grand Slams, the 2012 U.S. Open Final against Novak Djokovic, and a Wimbledon champ in 2013 and 2016....

UNITED STATES—The battle is back yet again in Congress as the House of Representatives have passed a bill to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15.00 per hour. Do I think it will make any waves in the Senate? Not a chance, but hearing that the minimum wage has not risen in over 10 years is...

UNITED STATES—Something that really disturbs me about Americans is our inability at times to do what is right even though we know people are constantly or always watching. Like why do we have to be called out to address bad behavior when we see it? Hmm, this reminds me of a theory we learned in psychology known as the...
