You should get out more

Learning from the classroom of the world

The Disneyland ride says that “It’s a small world after all.” I get what they were trying to say in that song. I really do. But if you are someone who has rarely traveled outside of California, the world is a much bigger place than you can imagine. And I’m not just talking geographically.

Rehab for internet users?

reSTART program contradicts Americans once more

The pathway to communication is solely pushed towards the internet. This new age we witness that everything is transformed to online; online bill pay, order take-out food, registering classes for school, communicating with friends and colleagues, updating records for DMV and even work at home jobs are online. Now, after years of encouraging internet-usage, we have entered into a new type of health concern, internet addiction disorder.

Dating in a digital world

Is there any real human connection in the dating world anymore?

About a year ago I met this guy, and I fell in love, but about two months ago it ended. Same story, girl loves boy, boy doesn’t want to be burdened with girl anymore, boy falls out of love, girl stays stuck, unable to let him go without the fight that she won’t win. My heart’s still broken, no melodramatics, it’s just the simple truth, but I have been attempting to move on for my own sanity. So, I decided, why not start dating? That’s what people do, now isn’t it? I didn’t exactly know how to approach it though, because this isn’t the same world that it was in the past decades. People don’t just “date” anymore; everyone leaps into relationships after texting each other for a couple weeks or chatting on Facebook.

Exporting America to save a dollar?

Outsourcing contributes to a fallen economy

Major businesses find themselves struggling these past two years since the economy took a fall. Businesses have been faced with laying-off veteran employees, downsizing the company and trying every marketing tactic known just to stay alive. As a last resort, many companies have found themselves swimming away from the recession—by outsourcing their company.

War

A "Just" War

I am a conservative evangelical Christian and a member of the Republican Party and I believe that George W. Bush‘s War in Iraq was wrong.

Medical Marijuana & Commerce

Sprouting a nation obsessed with greens

   It has been said that if every person in China formed a single line, due to the population rate, it would be never ending; the line would continue forever. The same could be argued regarding our country’s debates over marijuana. Now, with the Obama Administration taking the laissez faire approach and leaving it for the states to decide, the California Compassionate Use Act (passed in 1996) is back in effect. A recent debacle regarding marijuana in the US presents the questions of medical purpose and interstate commerce. In 2005, California citizen Angel Raich was prosecuted for the possession of an illegal substance. Raich suffers from an inoperable brain tumor, scoliosis and endometriosis, among her other illnesses.

Alfred Nobel

One Peace Prize for you...and one Peace Prize for you...

When did the requisite to obtain the Peace Prize, an award that is held at the highest of levels (at least in America, that is), evolve from DOING something to TRYING to do something or even saying they are GOING to do something?

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence

  It was 4:30 p.m. The time smiling or laughing wouldn’t be allowed for the rest of the day. He had come home frustrated again, something I knew he’d take out on my mom. Minutes later, he began yelling at my mom telling her she was useless and stupid, but there was no response from her; she looked down and stayed quiet because she knew better than to talk back to my dad. 2 comments

Marijuana

California growing greener?

Legalizing Marijuana on November 3 ballot.

About 58% of West Coast voters believe that marijuana should be taxed and legally regulated just like alcohol and cigarettes, according to Zogby International Polling, a company that specializes in polling and market research.      After the state budget passed in January 2009, this controversial issue—one that was fought 12 years ago --  came back to the legislature for reconsideration. 3 comments
