I think expressing yourself in fundamental and categorical topics help create a more transparent, concise, and educational environment. For me, I like to explain key issues that dominate current events in society and encourage dialogue.

Brexit
As an exemplary and inaugural contribution to the discussion of responsible politics and social reaction, I'd like to discuss the Brexit vote. Firstly, it's important to notice the powerful ascension of turbulent factions amid controversial situations such as referendums. Brexit is a key example of this. Two partisan groups have arose in the last several months: a radical socialist-democratic proponent from the Labor Party under opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn and the right-wing Conservatives under Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Both political parties offer their versions of the best-case scenario for the United Kingdom to disembark from the European Union. Corbyn is interested in nationalizing the country which can have massive consequences for business and commerce, whereas Johnson's firm Brexit approach is causing future uncertainty for English companies in doing business with EU-Members. It's important to note that Johnson isn't the first person favoring the UK to leave the EU. This has been going on since the 1970s. The UK has been skeptical about an economic unified Europe already at its infancy in the 1950s.

Finding the Right Job for You
Work is something everyone must do to be a part of something big. We don't have a choice, it must be done. It isn't only about contributing to the success of the business, but also for keeping ourselves productive, creative, and outgoing. Work keeps our minds and hands busy. As human beings, we are designed to be mobile and proactive. That most difficult decision for the younger generation is to find the right type of work to start a career. How to do this? I'll let you know.

First Nation Groups in North and South America
Millions of indigenous people have called the entire continents of North and South America their home for tens of thousands of years. They were the first ones to have arrived to the continents via the Bering Strait bridge that was existent during the last ice age. Since then, they have developed into numerous tribes and confederacies that implemented unique agricultural, cultural, culinary, hunting, foraging, spiritual, and linguistic practices that were mirrored by their way of life and construction outlook. Naturally, some of them were at war with each other. Others worked and lived together in peace and harmony. Each piece of the land they had, had distinct characteristics. I find that aboriginals knew the lands better than anyone else. They knew exactly how to tame it without harming it. They knew how much should be taken without causing grave disturbances to the ecosystem. Indigenous groups bonded with the land culturally and spiritually and respected it. They knew what they were doing and they were masters. But a gargantuan turning point for millions of aboriginals arrived during the era of navigation instigated by European quest for exploration, discovery, trade, and of course, power. Many European kingdoms at the time were competing with each other to dominate swaths of lands on different continents all over the world. They were on a quest to outmaneuver and overpower the other, to become wealthy and strong. Sadly, many aboriginals were caught in between and perished over the centuries due to the bloodlust and conquest-obsession of European powers.

Climate Change and Environmental Conservationism
Climate change has been in the forefront of environmental awareness and innovation for decades now. I'm sure many of you have already seen countless television commercials advertising the companies' desire to promote environmental protection by reducing carbon emissions, harnessing and using sustainable green energy, reduction of plastic materials and products and lobbying for government recognition to focus on future development with an emphasis on environmentalism. Thanks to increased education, scientific research and effective activism, more and more people are realizing the necessity to conserve energy, recycle, use less, and adopt new green energy applications to better their lives and their communities and future generations.

The 2020 Presidential Election in America
In my opinion, the 2020 general election in America is the most controversial and critical election the United States and the world community have seen in decades. Never before have I seen so many big figures in business, entertainment, politics, and activism pleading with people to vote. The reason for it is simple. Many of them see Donald Trump's first term in office as an absolute calamity of epic proportions. The United States have experienced foreign and domestic turmoil and disarray. Even the sacred foundation of democracy is teetering on the brink of collapse. Extremism, racism, and social inequality have seen rapid increases under Donald Trump. With all this in mind, it is important to note why so many people want to see Trumps' removal from office during this year's general election.

The Progress of Feminism
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.

A Theory on Dictatorships
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.

The People's Republic of China
China is one of the oldest and culturally richest countries in human history. In fact, its influence and power have been felt across continental Asia for millennia. During the middle ages and age of enlightenment in Europe, China was seen as a global power. It was arguably the most powerful kingdom in the world until its antagonistic attitude towards change and reformation led to its demise in the hands of the British.

Tsar Putin
In the 1990s, the Russian Federation was in the depths of a disparaging identity crisis. The Soviet Union, a massive continental geopolitical behemoth that had lasted for around seven decades, collapsed, and in 1992, a new Russian Federation rose from its ashes. The fall of the Warsaw Pact and Iron Curtain contributed to its fall but crumbling internal and external blunders also had defining roles to play. The failed war against Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 and the Perestroika and Glasnost reforms paved the way to internal and international destruction of Soviet influence. A strong number of people still remember the so-called glory days of the Soviet Union. It was all they've ever known at the time. One of them was undoubtedly Vladimir Putin.

The Boeing Disaster
I see Boeing as the prime victim of unhinged capitalism. With over three hundred casualties due to faulty software programming and mischievous and dubious help from the federal agency FAA, it is of serious concern for everybody who is directly and indirectly connected to the devastation.

The Assault on the US Capitol
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 sacred oath of protecting the US Constitution, and the democratic institutions that preserve the unity of the United States of America, they joined Trump in denouncing and threatening the democracy that keeps the United States peaceful and together. This is completely unacceptable and vicious. To understand how this all came about, we have to understand the events that led up to the horrid event on January 6, 2021.

A Critique on the Standard Family Construct
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?
