Slavery is a By-Product of War
Slavery in ancient times was a part of the economy. It was the way each people would get the services that they needed. They would take in slaves to help them carry about the duty of running a household. Slavery as lifesaving necessity was only one unclear point of view, taking in orphans and widows who needed the job to live. This is a world where currency was gold and silver and given only to the rich and powerful. Everybody else had to sell their daughter or son or servant just to make ends meet. No people were immune to slavery, everyone was up for sale unless they had certain rights and freedoms which the government protected and provided. Slavery goes further back then the ancient and it is believed to be a by-product of war. People of long ago thought that the only way to end the war was to oppressed the rebels, the troublemakers, and peace destroyers. Religion has its role in this flourish of slavery both pagan and monotheistic. Religion taught that bounding people for the sake of knowledge is right, and only monotheistic said to train them and set them free within their society after they gained the knowledge. Even though the war had a major impact on the belief of the powerful bounding up many, they had the support of religion which empowers their conquest for ruler-ship. This chosen and appointed position from religion exploited the lives of millions of people not just Blacks, Whites, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans. Slave traders and slave masters thought it was their right to own and possess other people for living and livelihood.

Fighting Against Obesity
When it comes to diet and exercise, each of us faced a dilemma. Not only including our sex, gender, race, etc. but our ethnicity plays an important role in our determination of life. And ultimately whether we diet or exercise. Science has proven that diet and exercise can add years to your life and help you age gracefully but finding out the right formula for each person has never been easy. People need motivation because motivation gives them the will that overcomes present doubt. Present doubt is situations or people who prolonged and prohibit the growth process of finding a diet and exercise. Losing weight guarantees prevention of health crises and we all heard that from our doctors because obesity leads to so many diseases including strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, etc. If we are going to fight something real in our lives then we must fight obesity, the leading cause for most deadly diseases. The main way to fight illness is to debunk the myths about diet and exercise.

Washington's Lesson
There was a story about General Washington when his troops were just trained for the Revolutionary War. In the event of their graduation as military troops, Washington would have them watched the play about the man, the Roman Senator who made Emperor Caesar. The play, Cato, would show all the lengths of knowledge that the senator possessed and how he could easily persuade the Roman Senate to listen to Caesar. Cato was a longtime serving senator who could not gain enough popularity to become emperor even though he had all the knowledge and leadership skills. Roman was possessed with Caesar's divisiveness and military prowess. For example, Cato created the first easy to vote system so Romans could vote easier and support his campaign. He tried numerous times to be Emperor but failed to Julius Caesar. Caesar was a magnate and center character, too hard of an opponent to defeat. Cato's ultimate fall was that he placed his trust into the hands of the dictatorship of Caesar. Cato would cover all the misdoings of Caesar and plotted with Caesar to control the Roman Senate until finally, he could not take it anymore. He died in what they identified as a suicide yet the facts remain a mystery. However, this completed the downfall of Caesar because he could no longer control the Senate and the Romans were distraught over his terms of peace and Cato's end made the Senate fear the power of Caesar and the Senate tried to honor Cato with a coin and his invention but it was too late. Eventually, the Roman Dictator's end was on its eve.

Moral Reparations
America is not the only facing this dilemma. Our democracy is put in the spotlight because we demand justice for others yet neglecting justice for our fellow citizens. How can America in its deep conscience ignore the damage brought about its wealth and power? It appears debatable but the underlining truth is it is evident in our job difference, educational backing, and finances. Race does play a major role. The whole world used to be an economy of slavery. We owe it to ourselves and our future to resolve this issue. This issue has deeply divided us for generations. We have the power unlike our ancestors before us to break the chains of bondage brought about our oppression. This oppression was not only physically but religiously. We were persecuted for our skin. It came in these three forms:

War Can Be Over
Every time we looked at history we see that war is inevitable. Fighting among nations and fighting among peoples leading to total disasters. Even today we are still affected by the wars of the past, not just decades, but some are hundreds of years ago. When will the world change its perspective and forge peace? We must take everything dividing us and unite. This does not mean, we have to be one nation or people but respecting our differences and recognizing our humanity. This is what makes us common. We have to stop seeing war as the only outcome that there is no other resolution. How are we suppose to live freely with war? When one nation's liberty is more important than another nation's liberty and that is what war usually says. This world can only survive together and not separate. We must fight for peace for everybody and war is not the answer.

Seizing the Economy
Many economists have created theories to understand the movement and volume of the economy. The economy is the nervous system of the government. There are so many factors that determine its consistency such as the job market, housing market, educational training, and governmental assistance. Jobs market determines the number of people that are employed, employment means to increase revenue and longevity for the economy creating a continual cycle. The housing market determines the rate that properties are invested and is the greatest taxation for the government creating higher and stable yield overtime. Educational training is the state of our educational system filled with successes of paying loans and students receiving qualified jobs that they work long-term. Our economy is multi-dimensional. And there is no better time than to learn the influences on the economy to make educated life choices.

The Non-Violence Force
We have to learn to walk away from violence. We have to resist fighting one another. Aggression is only oppression. Passiveness can cause agitation. There are many people that we meet in our walk of life that challenge us. They challenge our character demanding us to act in ways that are not right. They challenge our thoughts to think of things of hurt for our neighbor. They challenge our interpretation of who we are and where we come from. Nobody is immune to the challenges in our lives. We must find the courage to choose non-violence.
