I Will Listen
As a white woman, I very likely have no business writing about inclusion. If I have learned anything in the last two years, it is that we need to amplify the voices of people of color and the marginalized of society, and still the voices of the people who, for lack of better verbiage, look a lot like me.

Unique Perspectives Part III
1. Where music and acting meet. Music is built on an image to convey a certain emotion, as is an actor when addressing that image. So, thus, music and acting become inextricably tied--or so it seems--as they both strive to hone in on the same end result.

Writing is Mot Innate, but it Can Feel as Much
There is this concept in psychologyfor which we understand things better when they don't work. In the case of psychology, it's easier to know what to look for in the brain after damage. For example, we know where in the brain we store memories thanks to views on the brains of people with amnesia…and so on.

First Step To The Big Dream. Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
I have a big dream; it’s so big and unrealistic to many, I dare not to tell anyone. Until now. I dream of a peaceful and harmonious world where people have roofs over their heads and do not go hungry. This is one of my dreams that had not been materialized. Although I had some experience of living in very minimal material comforts and foods during my college year, I was fortunate enough to have a shared room and meals provided by the restaurant for which I worked on weekends and in the evening. I have never experienced homelessness, but I have a friend who has during his youth due to a drug-addicted parent who couldn't adequately provide for her son. Unfortunately, there are many children who become homeless because of their parents' misfortunes, issues with money, mental and/or emotional health in industrious countries like the US. There are so many people without decent housing and food in developing countries as well. My dream is to create a world that none of us need to worry about not having shelters to feel safe and food to eat. Rich or poor, it is our birthright to have these basic necessities. Sounds dreamy? I used to think so. But no more.

Death Penalty: Is it effective?
Since random death sentence trials are morally abusive, it is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain tangible evidence of the restraining effect of the death penalty to convince strong supporters. The penalty for changing your mind. For crimes punishable by death in a foreign country, such as smuggling or smuggling of illegal drugs, economic crime, or politically motivated violence, there is no credible evidence of a deterrent effect. Experts who treat the death penalty with the death penalty, and in some cases drug-related crime worldwide, say that there is not enough evidence to conclude that the death penalty has a detrimental effect. Although the death penalty for crimes against humanity has been mentioned in many religious texts and has been widely used by religious leaders throughout history, today there is no consensus on the death penalty among religious sects or denominations.
