Arguments On Social Media

UNITED STATES—Oh, the argument, it’s something that we’ve all engaged in as kids, teens and adults. However, there is indeed a right way to argue and a stupid way to argue in my opinion. Hence, the issue with social media. With Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat and so many more social media outlets dominating the world as we know,...

Terrorism And Gun Control

UNITED STATES—We’ve had this discussion before, and yet again, we are back to having the discussion yet again about another mass shooting, this time, one of the deadliest in American History.

Is The Zoo Dangerous?

UNITED STATES—The recent incident involving Harambe, the gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo, being fatally shot by zoo officials after a 4 year-old boy fell into the gorilla’s environment has raised a vital question for many in the public sphere: just how safe is the zoo.

Politics And Miss USA

UNITED STATES—Wow, wow, wow, that’s all I can say, after hearing that one of the questions that was asked to one of the contestants from the Miss USA pageant was related to the issue of politics.

There have been...

Flirting With A Return To School?

UNITED STATES—This past month, has been one of the most stressful and chaotic that I have encountered in quite some time. If working two jobs wasn’t enough to try to make ends meet, it became a realization that I’m still NOT earning enough to fully cover all my expenses and to live life at a comfortable standard. I mean...

Falling On Deaf Ears

UNITED STATES—Many people take for granted their ability to fully utilize all five of their senses. You might be surprised to hear that some people aren’t fully aware of what those senses are.
