Domestic Violence
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...
Opinions In The Media
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...
Facebook Vs. Twitter
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...
Road Rage
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?

Good Vs. Evil
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...
Regressive Catholic Church
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...
The Power Of Giving
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;...
Protesting Without Violence
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.
