Point of View

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. Love is the quintessential thing that no matter what race, gender, Ethnicity, religion, sex, social class you fall into we all thrive for it. So I have...

UNITED STATES—Life is full of tough choices, but when most of us are faced with that dilemma, it sometimes leaves us scratching our heads on rather the choice we make or the choice we made is the right choice or not. Those choices revolve around family, work, school, relationships, housing, children, and so many other things. So when it comes...

UNITED STATES—Time is precious, it’s valuable for most people. The one thing about time that is super important to understand is that once it’s gone, it’s gone. You can’t get it back people.

That is a question so many people think about,...

UNITED STATES—Being spoiled, would you argue that is a good thing or a bad thing? In my personal opinion, when you spoil a child, it opens a door for them to be spoiled as adults which is not a good thing in my opinion. If a child has no idea what it means to struggle, how can one expect...

UNITED STATES—What are some of your everyday essentials that you need to operate at full capacity? Is it a cup of coffee, a balanced breakfast, clean towels, a good night of sleep? Think about that for a moment. Now ask yourself what you would do without having those essentials to keep your battery running. This is something we all...

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—We are less than 4 weeks from the big presidential election and I feel like this year the importance of voting is at a feverish, and I mean feverish pitch people. I thought 2008 was critical with so many people making the argument that not voting could be detrimental to the direction of the country, but I think...
