Point of View

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—Trust me, the tale I’m about to share with you is based on actual events, things that literally transpired for the past 3 months as I fought tirelessly to get my internet provider to do their job. At the start of June my internet service started to go haywire, so I contacted my provider (I’m choosing to leave...

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 I heard stunning news that left me slightly numb. A police officer placed a child (who was 9) in cuffs. It wasn’t only the fact that the officer placed this child in cuffs, it’s the fact that the cuffs where placed near his biceps, a place that created extreme discomfort for the child for anyone who...

UNITED STATES—Keeping things organized is no easy task, but I believe that organization prevents chaos. I would not quite consider myself a neat freak, but uniformity is important to me. The one thing that I cannot abide is a desk that is full of mess. Pens, papers, and any other important materials have to be organized. Having a clean work space...

UNITED STATES—Something that surprises people about me is the fact that I’m a debater. To be honest, I was even a member of the debate team in high school. When I think of debating, I always think of arguing; but what I have learned through my adult life is that it’s really about discussion. A lot of the time, a...

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—Someone recently brought to my attention the factoid that women go to the doctor much more than men. And unfortunately I had to agree with that notion. Females tend to go to the doctor for regular check-ups and if anything out of the unusual pops up on their body or they feel slightly off. So what gives? What is...

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—Oh, the 2016 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most coveted battles in years. On one side there is close to 2 dozen candidates for the Republic party, on the other side you have a few for the Democratic party, notably former Senator and First Lady Hillary Clinton. I am amazed by how many people...
