Point of View

UNITED STATES—I have to applaud musician and actress Miley Cyrus because what she did Sunday at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards was shed light on an issue in America: homelessness. Homelessness is very bad, but in some cases it’s even worse for the teenagers and children. We don’t always hear about these stories, but they are indeed out...

UNITED STATES—The selfie is such a big craze in America, that it has been deemed an actual word in the dictionary. For those not in the know, it’s where a person takes a picture of themselves with their phone, in some cases a selfie might involve multiple people, take a look at the Oscar selfie that Ellen DeGeneres had...

UNITED STATES—College is back in session for those undergraduates, and for those high school students stepping onto a college campus for class the first day can be a bit daunting. When people say it’s a whole new ballgame, they’re not lying. There comes a level of freedom, excitement and responsibility with being a college student. One of the biggest...

UNITED STATES—Raise your hand if you’ve ever worked on homework will watching television? I’m guilty of it, as are plenty of others. The big question that has been posed time and time again is rather a person can fully deliver exceptional work while being distracted in an attempt to study, notably the television. The answer to that question in my...

UNITED STATES—I honestly cannot believe it’s the year 2014 and the face of racism is more prevalent than ever. Its like we live in this bubble, where the issue of racism is spotlighted, we talk about if for awhile, it disappears and returns with a vengeance. I thought the year 2013 was a breakthrough for America on race relations...

UNITED STATES—It’s not easy to tell a lie and be completely convincing while doing it, is it? Think about that for a second because we’ve all been guilty at some point for telling a little white lie, but doing it with such a good face. How are we able to do so without so much of a second thought...

UNITED STATES—What is it about rainy days that so many people take offense to? I mean its just a little water at the end of the day right? Its like we live in this world, where everyone becomes super duper depressed when it rains. Please get out of that stupid funk and realize it’s not the end of the...

UNITED STATES—No crime is considered more heinous than that of murder. It is a crime so despicable, so haunting, to describe the impact or aftermath is impossible to do. To take another person’s life without just cause deserves a punishment that fits the crime: life behind bars. But what do you do in the situation of murder through self-defense? Yes,...

UNITED STATES—Politics is one of the dirtiest jobs of all time in my opinion. It’s not as clear cut and straightforward as so many people would like to believe it is. When a person tells me they’re running in the political arena, the first thing that pops into my mind is exactly what are you after. It’s hard for...

UNITED STATES—This week marked primary elections for many communities and states across the county. Perhaps the most important question for most Americans who can vote is rather or not they headed to the polls. Unfortunately, the answer is no. For some reason, the voter turnout is always at all time lows when a Presidential race is not in the...
