Point of View

UNITED STATES—Just this week I heard two tales about bullying incidents that shook me to the core. In one case a young girl decided to cut off her hair to highlight those fighting for cancer and to donate, the other case a young boy who had a bully stab him in the eye with a pencil.   In both cases,...

  UNITED STATES—Just why is it that people bully other people? It’s a question that has been debated for years, particularly between psychologists and sociologists.

  UNITED STATES—Are you tired of hearing unnecessary nonsense? Wishing that you can just put the mute button on tons of people you know?

  UNITED STATES—For years, employers and employees alike have debated the age old question of how long the workday or workweek should be for Americans? It’s not a question that is easy to answer. For many the idea of limiting things to five days a week is perfect. Well for most of us we’re already doing that, there are others...

  UNITED STATES—Well America, a new crisis is beginning to attack the country as the Ebola outbreak has made its way into the states.  It was recently reported that a man from Texas has contracted the deadly virus that has originated in West Africa, but is spreading in numbers to other regions.  The big concern many Americans have is what...

  UNITED STATES—The White House is one of the most highly secured properties in the country, so someone please explain how an ex-military personnel was able to hop the gate and enter into the compound before being detained by authorities? That is a question that is being heavily debated at the moment, but the bigger concern is what would have...
