Should We Shorten The Work-Week?
UNITED STATES—I’ve had this conversation with several people, and I’m all for the notion of shortening the work week to four days compared to the typical five. It’s been heavily debated a lot, and what is more interesting is overseas workers are not expected to work as hard, or to the extreme that so many Americans do on a...
The Obsession With Social Media!
UNITED STATES—I’ve talked about my concerns with social media for years now, and I know while some of you might suspect things being all negative, there are positive drawbacks to it because it keeps people connected. Something that really stuck in my mind was this notion of the psychology behind people constantly posting on social media and how it...
Spending Money That’s Not Yours
UNITED STATES—Money, it seems to leave our pockets, purses and wallets as soon as we receive it. However, how often do we find ourselves in a situation where money is being spent, but it’s not ours. That is very rare to say the listen. The only time this transpires is when you’re a kid and you don’t have a...
Talking Without Listening
UNITED STATES—Let me be clear this is not a column aimed at the issue of people expressing their opinion, which I know many people will suspect the title hints that. However, this is aimed at the idea of us processing what we say before saying it. Once again, this is not aimed at people saying stupid things, but attempting...

This shouldn’t be something that is foreign to most Americans, but for some living under a rock it may be. Public shaming is where the entire world knows...
Negotiating Those Bills
UNITED STATES—This weekend I had to take care of monthly expenses and as a result it seriously got me thinking about a few things, specifically those bills that are not actual necessities, but it seems no matter what there are always unexpected fees that appear on that cellphone, Cable or internet bills that make absolutely no sense. And I...
School Threats Not Funny!
UNITED STATES—In the midst of the March for Our Lives rallies all over the nation by students aiming for change when it comes to gun laws in the country, we need to have a discussion about the issue of gun threats being made across the nation in recent months. I had a family member inform me that over 20,...
Who Is The Parent?
UNITED STATES—Parenting this is something that has been on my mind for a very long time. For anyone who has children we all know the notion of parenting a child is no easy matter. There is no book or blueprint that delivers the answers to all the questions one might have regarding how to properly raise a child. This...
Death Of Toys R’ Us
UNITED STATES—Last week many Americans learned devastating news when it came to well-known retailer Toys R’ Us. Yes, after being in business for close to four decades, the toy icon is closing all of its stores. Now, we learned a few months ago the retailer filed bankruptcy and might be closing a few stores after filing bankruptcy. However, this...
