heroes and villains
Heroes and Villains throughout history that have defined their industries and workflow as we know it today. Those we look up to, and those we learn mistakes from.
To the Relentless One
Dear Mr. Jeffrey Preston Bezos, You are not a doctor. You are not a nurse. You are not a first responder. Yet, without you and other captains of industry, there would be none of the aforementioned roles to speak of at all. Your greed and selfishness have empowered hundreds of thousands of employees, engaged millions of other businesses to negotiate, and entertained, enlightened and enthralled billions of people around the world with your work through Amazon or as I like to call it,“Jeff Bezos’ Everything Store,” and other firms.

Writing Villains
A hero in the story can only be glorified if he battles a convincing and strong villain. Villains usually are the archetype of fiction that embody the fear, evils, loss, anger and darkness of the society. Another sinister feature of the villain is that he carries a kind of mysterious aura around him. Two very common sentiments towards these characters are fear and hate, which could well be transferred from the fictional world into the mind of the reader outside in the real world.

Confessions of a Disabled Job-Seeker - The One with the Travel Consultant
This article is a confession of my recent conduct when applying for work.The typical behaviour of many employers, recruiters and interviewers towards disabled job applicants is still discriminatory—and this treatment is what still happens EVERY DAY despite the protective equality-linked legislation in place and moral duty of care that is meant to be shown towards the disabled people in society today. The only difference is how much more sneaky the employers are at not getting prosecuted or held responsible for it.

My Friend the Police Officer
I have known this man decently for at least three years. We went to the same high school and served in the Manual Academy JROTC program. As I've grown to know him, he's been more and more himself. In the past... well, for a while he was in the police academy. Despite being one of the star football players, he was really down to earth in high school. He dealt with all kinds of drama from people having a concussion every other week to struggling with Trigonometry. By his senior year, he was in the top three, "god powers," as we cadets called them, of the JROTC Battalion. He was the Cadet Sergeant Major, CSM for short. He led the weekly Physical Training, amongst other things. After he graduated, he suffered a terrible loss, that no one really knew how to help with. Somewhere in the midst of the homework and football games, he decided that he wanted to be a Police Officer.
