Point of View

UNITED STATES—I would say to a degree I’m a bit of a news junkie, but for reasons that suits a purpose in everyday life: I need to know what’s happening around me. I know so many people who seem to blow a casket about the mere idea of watching the news on the tube, the internet or in print....

UNITED STATES—Anyone who happens to be a child of divorce understands very well the stress that can be created for the child or children and the parents. When I was about 7, my parents got divorced. To say that it was devastating would be an understatement. For a child to go from seeing a parent every single day, to...

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—What is the one thing most of us want more of, but have difficulty actually getting it? Any guesses, have you all figured it out? It’s not money, its sleep! Sleep is a vital element to the human body, even if many of us would like to believe that is not the case; the body needs rest to...

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...

UNITED STATES—Credit cards can be dangerous. It’s that piece of plastic that many of us go to in an effort to reserve cash that we might not have at a particular time. I believe in the notion of having at least 2-3 major credit cards. Anything beyond that number can get you into trouble fairly quickly. As Americans, we...

UNITED STATES—There is a reason so many people in America are obese. Any guesses as to what it might be? If you’re thinking the foods we consume that is a partial argument, but there is indeed more to the story. It’s TELEVISION! Americans spend way too much time sitting in the chair or laying on the couch watching the tube....

UNITED STATES—Speaking the truth can sometimes be a good thing, but at other times it opens the floor for debates that are never ending. When it comes to speaking your opinion, every American does so without even considering what they are saying before actually saying it. I will argue some people are a bit hesitant to speak the truth...

UNITED STATES—With the summer season upon us; it’s time for a road trip! Road trips are family traditions for many of us, some can be loads of fun, but others can be disasters. I’ll argue with any road trip the planning begins months in advance. Very rarely does a road trip just happen on the fly. Why is that?...

UNITED STATES—Last week the United States Supreme Court made an epic decision. The nine Supreme Court judges made a ruling regarding the state of marriage in the country. In a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled that marriage is a right that all Americans are entitled to. So precisely what does that mean? It means that entire notion of marriage being...
