Labor Week

UNITED STATES—Politics, it’s the one subject matter just like religion that gets so many people riled up. I can’t really recall having a healthy conversation with anyone I know when it comes to the issue of politics. It seems to always boil down to this issue of Democrats vs. Republicans or vice versa. For the oddest reason, many of...

UNITED STATES—With Labor Day now beyond us, its official that the summer is now long over and it’s time to get back to work. Some of you might be asking precisely what do I mean by that statement? Well, to a degree summer ending, kicks things back into gear for adults. Yes, we might go to work all-year round, but...

UNITED STATES—Why does it seem nowadays that the idea of work has stretched far beyond reality? Some of us work part-time, some of us work full-time, and some of us work 2-3 jobs. Work is no longer a part of our lives, it is our lives. We wake up preparing to go to work and we fall asleep with...

UNITED STATES—The bank, oh isn’t it a glorious thing or is it? I didn’t get my first bank account until probably my freshman year in college. I’ve always been good with saving money, but I realized at some point I would need to cash my checks, save money for a house, a car and a load of other amenities....

UNITED STATES—Well it’s that time of year: school is about to be back in session! For many parents, it’s a glorious time, but it’s also a time of year that can be quite costly depending on the grade the child is in and rather they attend a public or private school. I recall growing up that school supplies weren’t...

UNITED STATES—Is it sane to want to have a few hours or even a day totally to yourself? That’s a question I seem to ask myself time and time again. As Americans, we do so much on a daily basis, that just thinking about everything that has to be completed starts as soon as you get out the bed...

UNITED STATES—Last week most of America was buzzing with the news of Cecil the Lion, a 13-year-old South African lion that was killed by Walter Palmer. Since the news reached the public airwaves, a lot of Americans have been in uproar over the incident. A huge concern is the fact that allegedly Cecil was lured out of the Hwange...

UNITED STATES—I hate working out, there, I’ll admit it, but if I don’t get off my bum and move my body the list of health problems will just grow substantially. I mean I know we’ve all told ourselves at one point or another I’m going to work out at this time every single day this week. The problem with having...

UNITED STATES—As parents have we become soft? What happened between the 80s and 90s, where there has been such a massive drop in a generation that was expected to be the wave of the future? For someone who was born in the 80s, it was instilled in me at a very early age that hard work is the key...

UNITED STATES—When was the last time you asked yourself, “Hey, did I think about that before the words blurted out of my mouth?” First off, this is not a piece about censorship or freedom of speech. The goal is to examine precisely where Americans stand when it comes to thinking about their words before just letting the masses consume...
