How can a good God allow so much Evil in the World?
In the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, Bond’s employer, M, says to Bond, “arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand-in-hand". This statement is true for atheists, especially when they challenge God’s existence. One question they often ask is, “How can a good God allow so much evil in the world?”. They ask this question as the set up for some sort of “Gotcha” moment. The problem here, is that they are lacking the self-awareness to realize that in their attempt to “get” the Christians they ask this question to, they are actually conceding the existence of God and are instead questioning his nature. After all, how can any kind of God “allow” anything if he doesn’t exist to begin with? How can God have a nature if he doesn’t exist? The question of “How can a good God allow evil?” is doubly fallacious. It is a Loaded Question being utilized as a Red Herring.

Right-Wing Politics in Pakistan: The Urgent Need for Madrasa Registration
In Pakistan, the right-wing has always been a problem in the policy-making process. The state sometimes needs a rational approach that suits its national interest better, but right-wing and religious parties oppose such development, which hurts the country’s progress in the long run. It has been a history of Pakistan that any policy, law, or amendment that has come against the interests of the right political wing, they have resisted, such as the transgender protection bill, women's rights bill, the change in the educational syllabus, or any measure from state authorities that can eradicate or control the growing gun culture extremism and radicalization.

Redefining Beauty Standards and Embracing Diversity
Many individuals continue to suffer from low self-esteem and body confidence because of the idea of having a flawless body since society places immense value on having a flat stomach. This is further fueled by the multiple online suggestions on how to de-bloat. Beauty has increasingly become a definition of an individual's body shape and weight, rather than uniqueness. Body standards, which are socially created, are pushed forward in daily life, and they get amplified through social media. A "perfect" body shape is depicted through social media channels such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook using influencers and models. Posts that reflect the ideals of society's beauty are the most popular in society, either through a swimsuit photograph or even a lowly everyday photo.

Why Benevolent Sexism Isn’t as Sweet as It Sounds
In this often progressive world where equality and goodness have become the hallmarks, something in chivalry is out of place. As gentle as it may look seeing these gentlemen doffing hats off their heads or listening in with a compliment given, such seemingly innocuous act hides a problematic phenomenon from view-benevolent sexism. This modern trend, veiled in politeness and courtesy, seems to suggest that women should be treated with kid gloves as if they were perpetually in need of protection or assistance. Such attitudes can perpetuate the long standing stereotypes, reinforcing the notion that women are fragile and unable to navigate the world independently. Critics observe that what may look very much like a playful display of feminism oftentimes entraps women in dependency, and their potential is belittled. While society grapples with these underlying issues, the clear-cut lines defining true respect and condescending behaviour often become blurred, raising the stakes of equality and empowerment for women as promised by feminism.

Hughes said: "The TikTok blacklist, with the exception of whenever ended, will quietness the voices of more than 170 million Americans here in the US and all around the planet on January nineteenth, 2025."Beyond a productive charm, there are two or three substitute ways a TikTok blacklist could be delayed or avoided, including expected help from President-elect Donald Trump after he will work. President Joe Biden could similarly as a matter of fact grant a one-time, 90-day extension of the deadline, regardless of the way that he has not shown that he will do so.When it demands the choice, TikTok could in like manner demand a stay — fundamentally, a postponement — of the law while the High Court studies the case, which could mean TikTok avoids the January blacklist deadline, basically temporarily."Given the self control of the Great Court being by and large moderate, and by and large thoughtfully for a confined focal government, even with that establishment … I experience trouble feeling that the moderate power on the High Court wouldn't see this as a (public security) case," and thusly choose for keeping up with the law, Schiller said.The High Court could moreover decide not to review the case, in which case TikTok may be not doing so great, according to Gautam Hans, accomplice regulator of the Essential Revision Office and educator at Cornell Graduate school.
