Paul Cezanne : Father of Modern Art

Paul Cezanne: Father of Modernism In his incredibly creative lifetime, Paul Cezanne produced around nine-hundred paintings and four-hundred watercolors.  He was such a studied and careful painter, that it would sometimes take him up to one-hundred sessions to finish one single painting. Due to their unusual spatial layout and perspective, his paintings seemed to be Read More

The Media and the Northern White Rhino

Our feelings about the environment are affected by past experiences, culture, and daily events; however, the media has great power to influence peoples’ perceptions of what is happening to the environment. This is because the media can increase the public’s awareness of any given environmental issue by exposing and communicating them. Journalists have the power Read More

A History of Supressing Women’s Speech

The pursuit of censorship has often one of silenced women. Since the 2016 election, people have been saying to Hillary Clinton that she should go away, that she should be silent.  Even people from the left, and from the Democratic party were saying this.  Fortunately, Hillary Clinton has not been silent, and in an interview Read More

Fighting for Social Justice More Urgent than Impeaching Trump

Albert Einstein said: “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” Fighting for social justice does not have to do with what political party a person belongs to, or their religious beliefs.  Instead, people should transcend their political and religious Read More

Business Organizations as Agents for Positive Change

Twenty million people in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria are facing starvation and famine.  The majority of the world’s hungry live in conflict zones, and the world has not seen so much human suffering since WWII.

Barcelona Brand Suffers with Bid for Independence

The frustrated attempt by the region’s government to declare independence have made the city’s prestige suffer.  Barcelona is not the brand it was. As a cultural center of attraction which draws millions of tourists every year, and home to large pharmaceutical, publishing and manufacturing industries, and one the most successful football clubs in the world, Read More

Extreme Poverty in America Affects Civil Rights

If people cannot meet basic needs, have healthcare, and put food on the table how can they take part in politics, go and vote, or engage in the pursuit of happiness? Forty-one million Americans live in poverty according to the U.S. Census Bureau.  The growing inequality and changes in domestic policies have an impact on Read More

‘Gun Control: A Matter of Public Safety.’

After the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas, the debate over gun control needs to be reopened by Congress. More restrictions of firearms of any kind must be enacted, and a constitutional amendment is needed if all states of the union cannot regulate firearms more effectively. America’s gun control laws are some of the loosest Read More

The Preservation of our Nation

Climate change, nuclear war, biological warfare, and whether or not the U.S. wants to lead this world, are current issues that come to mind when I think about the preservation of our nation.   Having lost the election to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has put our country into a delicate position.  President Trump at the Read More

Letter to Mr Trump, ‘Make Peace not War.’

Mr President, It could be a tremendous success for you and your administration if you engaged in talks with North Korea.  I urge you to change your alarmingly hostile rhetoric and to use diplomacy to try and solve the grave threat of nuclear war that our country and the world could be facing.

‘Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution.’

President Trump is not fulfilling his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. His latest statements prove this, and show his lack of moral leadership for our country.  It is time that the “stooges” who surround the President invoke the 25th amendment.  Every day that Trump is in office, our country is in grave Read More

‘Trump Administration Weakening Science in America.’

President Trump said that Global Warming was a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government.  He once tweeted, “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” The Trump administration’s huge cuts to research funding, attempts to stifle the free-flow of information from scientists to the Read More

Universal Health Care in the U.S.: A Right not a Privilege

Trump’s America: ‘Contempt and Disrespect for America’s Core Values.’

We are living in country where the president is taking away healthcare for women, and imposing new legislation which adversely affects women all over the world.  It does not make any sense for women to suffer from this injustice. What if a women president were to take away prostate examinations for men?  Would this not be hugely contested Read More

‘There is no “Glass Ceiling.”‘

Ms Darcy Says, food for thought: The so-called “glass ceiling” doesn’t exist.  This term is used because it is more comfortable than having to point to men.  By using this term, a person is not pointing the finger at anyone because ¨glass ceiling¨ does not embody anyone.  It takes the attention away from who really is in power; and that is Read More

‘Food for Thought.’

Are all journalists interested in finding out the truth, or are they more interested in finding facts that will back up what they already know? Why aren’t the Republicans showing more opposition to President Trump and his possible collusion with the Russians, or his firing of FBI Director Comey and Jared Kushner’s Russia links ? Why are Read More
