Point of View

UNITED STATES—Domestic violence is an issue that we have to talk about. There are so many women who are victims trapped in abusive relationships day in and day out.  It’s something we’ve seen tackled in countless movies, on television, in music, on radio and other media outlets, but why is it an issue that has yet to be tackled...

UNITED STATES—Journalism should be unbiased.  Sides should not be picked when discussing news content under any circumstance, but it seems that opinionated people are more and more inflecting their voices in the stories that they report.  What bugs me is not the fact that an opinion is infused into the story; it’s the way that some reporters state their...

UNITED STATES—The social media world is constantly being updated every day.  I remember the old days before Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, there was MySpace.  Well where is MySpace nowadays?  It’s still around, but not many people are using it, heck I barely remember my password for that account. Today the social media craze is ran by Facebook, some would...

UNITED STATES—What is it about driving that drives so many of us nuts?  Is it the fact that many people refuse to obey the rules of the road, is it inexperience or the fact that the road is a dangerous place?  The road is a dangerous place for those who are not equipped to control their vehicle.  Having the...

UNITED STATES—Why is it when it comes to mental illness it’s a discussion people prefer not to have.  Mental illness is a serious issue inAmericaand a discussion that we need to have.  It should not be a taboo subject matter, there are thousands, perhaps millions of people suffering from mental illness everyday, yet we turn a blind eye to...

SAN FRANCISCO – Everyone has the innate desire for companionship.   We have our friends and families. Some of us are lucky enough to meet a person that we will share the rest of our natural lives with. For some of us these relationships are enough to satiate the longing for companionship and our innate need for friendship.  But human relationships...

UNITED STATES—People have told me time and time again that some people are inherently bad, while others are good.  But could it be true that some people are born evil?  My gut tells me there is good in everyone, but at the same time with so much violent crime in our country and in the world I’m more inclined...

UNITED STATES—Remember Vatican II?  There was just a celebration of its 50th anniversary. In keeping with current Roman Catholic Church teachings and doctrine, this celebration included quite a bit of “clarification” which sounded an awful lot like recanting and rescinding many of the changes that epitomized Vatican II. Just this week, the Roman Catholic Church in England is halting the...

UNITED STATES—The Christmas holiday is long behind us, but that does not mean the thought of giving should cease.  It’s during the holidays that people tend to give more, but that giving should take place year round.  I can not express the feeling of gratitude and happiness that I felt delivering gifts to family and friends on Christmas Day;...

UNITED STATES—For those of you who are not already aware, Michigan has joined the ranks of countless other states to become a ‘Right to Work’ state.  It was something that was splattered over many news stations in the recent weeks.  There were tons of outcries from unionized workers fighting for the rights that so many others have fought so...
