War on Hate
February 15, 2018
If you were to turn on the TV and flip to any given news channel, chances are it would be flooded with death that was provoked by hate. Our world is steadily being polluted by malice and prejudice. To counteract this hatred, we must band together against injustice.

And Yet Another Unsolved Case...
February 07, 2018
This case was towards the end of last year, and it began in Galveston, Texas. This, like any other unsolved case, is a sad one. Even more so when it deals with a child. For this reason, I believe that this case should be solved quickly, yet cautiously. “Little Jacob,” was the name he was given, by a police officer who was in church as the case began. He had just witnessed a child being baptized with the name of Jacob. With the child unidentified, she felt right to name him Jacob, and so the name began.

The Only Thing Flat Earthers Have to Fear is Sphere Itself
February 15, 2018
Members of the Flat Earth Society claim that the earth is flat. Through the eyes of flat-earthers, they see and feel flat ground and believe that the earth cannot possibly be a sphere. This belief is definitely a conspiracy and not scientific, and their reasons are ridiculous.

Net Neutrality
February 13, 2018
Net Neutrality: the principle that internet providers must enable all internet content/applications no matter the provider, without blocking or favoring a certain one. Everyone took it for granted, until the FCC (and more specifically the chairman, Ajit Pai) thought it would be a great idea to take away all of the laws that ensured this service would be upheld.

#MeToo
January 30, 2018
When my parents finally handed me my brand-new rose gold iPhone for my 15th birthday, I was told that there was going to be some rules we needed to discuss about my phone. Although I wasn’t really listening because I was caught up in the excitement of having a new phone that was higher tech than all of my friend’s phones, one sentence that I barely heard stuck in my head. My parents told me; “Whatever you put out in the world on social media or in life, make sure it is appropriate otherwise one day it could change everything in the blink of an eye”.

Crimes of 2017

When gazing back on 2017 what do you remember? Fidget spinners? Hydroflasks? Despacito? What about the Vegas mass shooting or other crimes that seemingly happen more and more frequently. Some of these crimes we must talk about not per the fact that the events were tragic but because we must learn from them.
