From cleaning the air to boosting mental well-being and creating stronger communities, the presence of green spaces is more than just aesthetic—it's a necessity.

Social Media & Mental Health
In the last two decades, social media has revolutionized how we communicate, express ourselves, and even perceive the world. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter) have become virtual extensions of our lives, influencing everything from our social relationships to our self-worth. While these platforms offer opportunities for connection and creativity, growing evidence suggests they also carry significant mental health risks. For many, the endless scroll is not just a habit—it’s a source of anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion.

In a rapidly changing world, the future of global democracy is an urgent and complex issue. Democracy, long hailed as the most effective system of governance, faces new challenges in an increasingly interconnected, technologically advanced, and polarized world.

The Nature of Consciousness
Consciousness is one of the most profound and enigmatic aspects of human existence. It is the state of being aware of and able to think about one’s own existence, sensations, thoughts, and environment. Despite its central role in our experience of the world, consciousness remains a deeply mysterious phenomenon that challenges scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike. Understanding its nature involves exploring both its subjective and objective dimensions, its relationship with the brain, and the ongoing debates over whether consciousness can be fully explained through physical processes or whether it transcends material understanding.
