I think expressing yourself in fundamental and categorical topics help create a more transparent, concise, and educational environment. For me, I like to explain key issues that dominate current events in society and encourage dialogue.

Police Brutality
First off, I would like to make myself clear on something. In no way will I claim that all police officers are bad. Generalization is false because it puts good, venerable, and acclaimed law enforcement members in a disputable light. There are wonderful police officers who risk their lives in protecting and serving their communities. They're doing what they can to make their neighborhoods safe, clean, and friendly, not only for them, but also for regular law-abiding citizens. Many of them have own showed solidarity to the Black Lives Movement and kneeled on the street to show their unwavering support to the movement in many affected towns and cities across the United States of America. Many of them fear the possibility of not returning to their families. Now this concern is more apparent than it ever has been before.

The American Gun Problem
Much like other constitutional amendments, the second amendment arose from colonial America as British rule dominated the customary way of life. To understand how it came about, we have to know about the tumultuous environment leading up to the outbreak of the American Revolution.

Canada's Wexit Debacle
Canada's extensive landmass is unique. Behind Russia, it is the largest country in the entire world. With it comes exorbitant natural resources which includes natural gas, oil, precious metals, fishing and lumber. The only way to unite the entire Dominion was to build an ambitious transcontinental railroad that was designed to link every province with each other. It would become the backbone of the entire country for decades to come and helped established Canada as a nation and competitive trade partner in the world community.

The Benefits of Socialism
The idea of socialism has been around for a long time. In the transformative years of the 19th Century, socialism started to make a gradual appearance in the areas of social benefits, worker's unions, shifts with hourly restrictions and social security. It was a revolution for the common human being. But since during the soviet union, the rise of communism and its downfall from international stardom in the early 1990s, many people have linked socialism to evil and destruction. To clear this up, I would like to discuss the benefits of socialism and how it has helped hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Issues with Extreme Capitalism
The rise of the Western world occurred due to capitalism. In fact, the notion of businesses, companies, and large corporation uses this customary bread and butter design of capitalism to make money, contribute to the economy and employ workers, skilled or unskilled. Because of this, the Western world rose in the Industrial Revolution and continued to rise amid corporatism and consumerism in the 20th Century and beyond. Due to developments and changes, capitalism has in many cases got out of control and became extreme in its measures to make profits. How did this happen? Let us look at its history.

Two Types of Patriotism
To be proud of your country is a good thing. Who said it wasn't? After all, when you are born and raised in that country or born elsewhere and immigrated to the next one, pride in your home has a profound psychological impact on your psyche. You contribute by paying your taxes, work, and build up a life that can be a positive addition to the community on a big scale. But one question remains: how much patriotism is too much? To answer this, I find there are two different types of patriotism that must be looked at to determine how much is too much and can be seen as detrimental.

The Dangers of Conspiracy Theories
I firmly believe that conspiracy theories have been around since the dawn of time. Since humans were capable of thinking of ways to get the upper hand against their most challenging and ominous opponents in politics, military, domestics, and social standing, conspiracy theories led the charge to discredit, weaken, neutralize or even kill its victims in the end. Call it survival, intense competition, malice, psychological disruption or just plain evil. It doesn't matter how you look at it. Conspiracy theories are there to bring people down. That's its sole purpose and nowadays you see it occur again and again in a frightening and mind-boggling pace.

Problems with White Supremacy
If you have been paying attention to class and brushing up on historical evidence and accounts, you could pinpoint many instances of white supremacy. This isn't a case of racism in one country. It appears in many countries around the world which makes it another global pandemic that has ravaged the world for decades. How did this come about? We shall analyze its roots and determine the damage it has caused in present terms.
