Labor Week

UNITED STATES—Its Thanksgiving, a time for family and food, but we have to have a discussion about something a bit more important: life. Every Thanksgiving our biggest focus is on the food, however, our focus should be on the things that we have in life that perhaps so many others don’t have. It begs the question: what things in...

UNITED STATES—We all cannot be happy 24 hours a day. There are just those moments where something transpires that makes the blood boil or irritates you to the core. So what do you do in those heated moments to ensure that you don’t lose your cool and do or say something that can be detrimental to your reputation? I’d...

UNITED STATES—It has been one hell of an election year in my opinion. I cannot recall the last time things were so contentious, so hotly debated and people being energized about voting. I mean I thought things were bad in 2008, when Barack Obama was battling for the presidency against John McCain. Hmm, 2016, is proving to be another...

UNITED STATES—This is a debate that has been ongoing for decades in my opinion, but recently in a course of mine, the discussion became front-and center yet again. Why are so many Americans indulging in all foods that are bad, instead of focusing their attention on those healthy and organic foods? Is it a personal choice? Is it economics?...

UNITED STATES—Love. Think about that word for a second. Yeah, it might be a four-letter word, but it is one of the hardest words to describe if you were to ask someone.

UNITED STATES—Credit, it’s something many of us learn is of importance as we transition into adulthood. Having credit, in addition to having good credit is key to purchasing a car, buying a house and getting so many other amenities in life. However, when is too much credit a bad thing? That is a question so many people think about,...

UNITED STATES—When it comes to studying is there a right way? That is a question I have asked myself for years. For some of us, studying is easy, for others it’s a challenge that is very hard to overcome because you have to train yourself and your mind that if you want to do well you have to study. The...

UNITED STATES—Man, man oh man, I can’t believe the media frenzy that was ignited last week in the midst of that audio being released of Donald Trump and Billy Bush engaging in some crass comments about women. In the midst of this political bombshell, Trump has received so much backlash, many warn he should drop out of the presidential...

UNITED STATES—Nasty. Personal. Argumentative. Lack of respect. Those are just some of the words that I would use to describe the second presidential debate between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. I mean the first debate was quite decisive; there were proponents that argued Hillary performed better, others quipped that Donald had the edge. What is important...
