Point of View

UNITED STATES—By now, I’m sure everyone has heard of the Alaska reporter who decided to make herself a media frenzy by quitting her job on live television. Is the video funny, without a doubt, but there is more to the story that we’re not discussing. Was it a wise choice for the reporter to blatantly disrespect the company she...

UNITED STATES—Well, once again rapper Kanye West has done it again. I can’t understand what the deal is with West who appears to be so desperate for attention at times; he’d do almost anything to make media headlines.  I heard about his latest stunt and was just offended to the core. While performing in Australia, West decided to halt...

UNITED STATES—America is at war once again with a militant terrorist group determined to instill fear in the American public. ISIS has been responsible for a string of violent incidents in an attempt to send a message to the American public that their demands will be met. For those not media junkies, the group has released two extremely disturbing...

UNITED STATES—The NFL has been under major scrutiny in the past few weeks. First, there was the scandal involving Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice, now a new scandal has surfaced involving NFL star Adrian Peterson who is facing major backlash for potential child abuse charges for spanking his son with a switch. I couldn’t help, but get engaged into...

UNITED STATES—It seems like the year 2014 has been an explosive year in the sports arena for controversy involving bad behavior. I mean, first we have the racism scandal involving Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling that led to a massive media blitz that united America in the discussion on racism. In the aftermath of that scandal, Sterling lost...

UNITED STATES—It’s hard to believe that Thursday, September 11, 2014 marks the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States.  For so many of us we can probably reflect back on exactly where we were in that moment in time when the first plane and subsequently the second plane striking the World Trade Center Towers in New...

UNITED STATES—Last week we talked about the issue with the selfie and celebrities. This week we talk about the issue of nude photos taken by celebrities. Over the weekend a slew of celebrities found themselves involved in a scandal where compromising photos of themselves were leaked over the Internet. The idea of taking a photo and that photo not being...

UNITED STATES—Why is it so many parents and kids get anxiety with the start of the new school season? Well with a new school year, comes a list of new problems. I’ll be honest the biggest issue might be the separation anxiety that most parents deal with, especially for children who are first heading to school. Jeez, I remember...

UNITED STATES—The recent tragedy that involved a 9 year-old girl fatally shooting a gun instructor has sparked outrage across the country. It has raised concerns for many about the issue of gun control in America, but more importantly should an age stipulation be placed on when a child should be allowed to adequately be able to fire a gun. I’m...

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...
