I find when a student reaches high school level he/she will start making important choices regarding their adulthood. I believe the high school system should be responsible in nurturing developmental desires in adolescent students and guiding them to make appropriate decisions that will greatly benefit them in the future. Of course, there will always be students who won't take this seriously and take it as a joke. Naturally, this period of their lives will the most carefree months ever. After they graduate from high school, they will be forced to look at career prospects, post-secondary institutions, paying bills and so on. As I attended high school, I took cooking, sewing, and computer classes. There wasn't enough room for mechanics and other things. But they should make room. As I attended these classes, some of my classmates fooled around, thinking they will never need the knowledge they acquire from these classes. They are obligated to be taught the most important necessiti...

The rise of the Western world occurred due to capitalism. In fact, the notion of businesses, companies, and large corporation uses this customary bread and butter design of capitalism to make money, contribute to the economy and employ workers, skilled or unskilled. Because of this, the Western world rose in the Industrial Revolution and continued to rise amid corporatism and consumerism in the 20th Century and beyond. Due to developments and changes, capitalism has in many cases got out of control and became extreme in its measures to make profits. How did this happen? Let us look at its history. A healthy dose of capitalism is to make money quarterly, bi-annually, and annually while guaranteeing the rights, security, and safety of its workforce. Essentially, a moderate form does this well since many long-term workers stay with the business throughout their careers, earn money to buy a home, raise a family, and live the dream they have always wanted. This is the typical duration of th...

Dictatorships are one of the oldest style of government in human history up to present day. It is found all over the place and historically more often in specific continents than others. A variety of components must be present for it to develop such as sociopolitical, geopolitical, economic and political means. Generally, violence and extreme criminal behavior are harnessed for a dictatorship to establish itself. Over time, this term has been watered down extensively due to fears of its power. Understandably so. So what does it actually entail? Let us find out. If we go back, you will see that ancient and medieval kingdoms have thrived with dictatorships. Their reasoning that a mighty deity is responsible for granting a particular person to rule is a classic example. "I was chosen by our God or Gods to rule over this land, therefore, I shall rule as I so please." The divine right of Kings was the bread and butter foundation for medieval leadership in the feudal system in whic...

To be proud of your country is a good thing. Who said it wasn't? After all, when you are born and raised in that country or born elsewhere and immigrated to the next one, pride in your home has a profound psychological impact on your psyche. You contribute by paying your taxes, work, and build up a life that can be a positive addition to the community on a big scale. But one question remains: how much patriotism is too much? To answer this, I find there are two different types of patriotism that must be looked at to determine how much is too much and can be seen as detrimental.  Let's take a look at the good form of patriotism. Like I mentioned earlier, being proud of your country is good. You are part of something big, you help contribute to the country's grand master plan of future development and interaction in global affairs. There are different types of good patriotism. For example, if your share ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic traits with fellow citizens, y...

When you think of a traditional Western family, what do you think about? Mother, Father, children and maybe a few house pets, right? Indeed, a majority of Western families look like this and a huge portion of the population experienced this kind of customary upbringing in their childhood. All fine and dandy, so was I. But, in reality, there are many types of functionable and solid family structures that can set up a healthy and beneficial environment to all its members. This has to do with gender identity and how we want to live our lives without any detriment from the outside. Let's take a closer look, shall we? The traditional family household consisting of a husband, wife and children in the Western world has been around since the dawn of time. That's how the image of a typical family looks like in many parts of the world and that's what we see when someone asks you to describe what a family looks like. In fact, the term "family" is multi-faceted and rich in va...

Feminism has been around for millennia. When I say this, I'm referring to women who have held some high level of administrative and executive position responsible for the operation of a empire, kingdom, republic, democratic federation and so on. I believe when a woman holds considerable power either domestically, internationally, economically, politically and corporately, I believe it's a sign of feminism at work. Nowadays, I see many women at the top of power. This trend has progressed through the industrial modern era with Suffrage, present day and future. Of course. If a man can do it, so can a woman, right? A society can't function properly if an entire gender is marginalized, subjugated and segregated. Everyone has to be involved in order for it to prosper on a grand scale. Yet it doesn't happen all the time and there's historic evidence to show this. But why was there a need for feminism in the first place? Let's find out. Throughout history, there's c...

The assault on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 is one of the scariest and darkest days in American history. Fed by months of scandalous and spurious conspiracy theories about the end result of the 2020 Presidential Election by Donald Trump and his most loyal foot soldiers, thousands of Trump supporters armed with violent intentions, dissent and rage stormed the US Capitol, destroying entrances, windows and doors in an attempt to disrupt a joint session of Democrats and Republicans as they certified the election results of the 2020 election. It was chaired by Vice-President Mike Pence who led the procedure with careful attention to the Constitution. Despite that, Republicans in the joint session who believe in Trump's brainless and dangerous conspiracy theories about the election contested the procedure fruitlessly. Of course, it is legal to contest anything but the reason for it was baseless and a gigantic waste of time and taxpayer money. Instead of committing themselves to the ...
