Under the traumatizing and seemingly lasting effects of the pandemic, Many people on social media still remain in denial of it’s existence entirely. While on surface level this might seem minor and insignificant, the consequences of such posts, comments and videos can play a huge role in the combat against COVID-19.  As avid users of the internet, all of us have certainly at some point come across uncertified news from various sources that lack credibility. This very inexistence of credibility is why we dismiss such articles. But there are often pieces of information on the internet which have less obvious detections of the lack of credibility. Such information confuses the viewer and this is where the problem begins to stem.  While some nations have recognized the dire consequences of these false articles and placed fines and charges against it. Unfortunately, many nations might not have acknowledged the severity of the matter and therefore social media was not regulated....

Everyone has obviously heard of the term ‘democracy’ and know that elections play a huge part in what constitutes the values of a democracy. Elections around the world are done through the method most of us are familiar with, the popular vote. In the popular vote as you already might know, the candidate with the most votes hence the most popular candidate wins.  While most democratic nations comply with this system of election and voting, the US seems to have a far more unique method to it all. The US is the only country to have an ‘electoral college’. So the votes given in by citizens aren’t used in a similar fashion as they are in the popular vote system. The citizen votes are then used to elect who votes from the electoral college, a body of delegates from each state, who then vote on behalf of the designated state.  This sounds complicated as of now but it is indeed important to know that the version of election most of us understand is an extremely watered down version of...

 All of us at some point must have heard, read or seen interesting tales from Greek mythology. From the toe of Achilles to the myth of Arachne, these tales all have one thing in common. They hold a moral or a lesson at the end. Often hidden through metaphors and interesting analogies, the morals in these myths are deemed special by many due to the fact that the conclusion derived can differ from person to person.  So let’s take a look at a few interesting accounts throughout Greek mythology and attempt to decipher the morals they conceal. 1. King Midas and The Golden Touch  The tale of Midas, a self indulgent king who had an insatiable thirst for luxury, is often regarded as a tale that exhibits the consequences of greed and lust. A short portion of the tale also represents the human mind’s temptation to tattle. As social creatures, interaction is considered vital to growth both emotionally and mentally. And so any means to expedite that interaction with others, we would ...

In such a fast paced world of views, clicks and likes, people have resorted to mocking mental disorders in order to receive validation and sympathy from others. Those people being on the younger spectrum of social media users mostly teenagers. Now that the problem is identified, let’s see where this might have stemmed from. The answer lies in the minds of these tech savvy teens. These likes and views translate to numbers and these numbers are being tied to the teenager’s sense of self worth and image. It is tempting to know that everybody in the room likes you but the reality we often cannot grasp is that it will never happen, it is simply impossible to please everyone in the room and the sooner you realize that the sooner you can be happy with yourself and start respecting yourself. Note that respecting yourself also leaves room for self improvement. Changing yourself for yourself not others. This obsessive tendency to please others leads to teens changing themselves in order to be ac...

Democracy has been thought to be the form of government which has always been striving for equality yet despite what the majority thinks, there have always been skeptics around even at the beginning of the concept’s creation. Famous philosophers were doubtful of this new invention called democracy. Stating it as the form of government where three idiots would have more power over one scholar.  So what would make democracy more equal you ask. Well, the most surface level solution would be to abolish the uneducated from voting. Now, you might think this is unfair but it actually levels the field more than you think. You see taking this step would prevent the rigging of elections to some extent as the uneducated are easily persuaded compared to the educated. It also gives votes more meaning as a whole. Those who vote will have a sense of proper representation of who they are and their rights. In developed countries proper background and stability checks should be regularly conducted c...

 Black Enough: Stories of Being Young and Black in America is a book published on January 8, 2019 and this is significant because given the recent issues of police brutality not only being put on the spotlight in just America but the world and that too on this kind of scale, I am genuinely astonished how not a lot of people are bringing up this book and talking about it.  Coming back to the book, as the title suggests, it’s a compilation of different stories based or inspired from real experiences and instances the authors have faced. Each chapter is a different story and written by a different author focusing on various topics ranging from sexual harassment to code switching and everything in between. So let’s begin to rate and analyze these chapters. Please do note that this is my opinion on the take of the author’s direction. I am not trying to prove or display anything as a fact to anyone. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin!  Half A Moon By Renée Watson ...

With summer holidays   coming to an end, the choice comes knocking at every parent’s door. Should I send my kid back to school? Is this a good step moving forward or something they will regret soon enough. For some this is the question that keeps rattling around their mind all day long which is why we’re going to be taking a look at some of the pros and cons of the situation at hand and assessing for ourselves whether sending children back to school is a good idea after all.  Also do keep in mind that I am listing these pros and cons according to my opinion so do take them with a grain of salt. Pros :-  1). Studying would actually take place This might sound absurd at first but think about it. Online learning offers a variety of distractions ranging from devices to simply walking off in a matter of seconds. Students will have a harder time determining which cushion to choose for their nap rather than settling on the topic to write for an essay.  Given the golden ...
