Peoples in my opinion: Darcy Murdock The government has yet to pay adequate attention to systemic poverty, housing, water, sanitation, healthcare, and education problems in Indigenous communities, particularly those in remote and rural areas. The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in September urged the government to remedy what it found were persistent violations of the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Why has it become wrong to be "normal"?
Why has it become wrong to be “normal”? Democracy is now at the mercy of the rush to be different. The media seems intent on making being “normal, or average, or as most others, or part of the majority,” into something to be avoided. The media has lauded dissent and being different, seemingly just for the sake of it, and makes being part of the majority almost a crime. It is not that the media in general praises genius or original thinking, it is praises anything that is unusual.

Solar Photovoltaic PV Panels - The future of Energy and Power
India has tremendous potential for power generation from renewable energy generation sources like wind, biomass, solar or hydro ,etc. Solar Photovoltaic is a technology that converts the solar radiation into electricity with the help of semiconductors. When the sunlight hits the semiconductor within the PV cells, electrons are released and form an electric current. Solar PV technology is generally fixed on a panel. PV cells are generally found connected to one another and are mounted over a frame called module, various modules can be wired together in an orderly arrangement and that can be scaled up or down depending upon the amount of power that is needed to be produced.

Corrupt, Slow and Sluggish
Witnessing the recent events of 2020, we have to ask ourselves, how did we let our government become this way? How did we manage to let them destroy our civil liberties, destroy our economy, dig us a pit of debt, get caught up in scandal after scandal, get away with it, and still somehow call this "progress?" How did we let centuries and centuries of historical data go ignored as we once again subscribed to a national-socialist agenda?

GiveDirectly: How They Promote Change with Cash
How do we promote change? How do we promote change on a global scale? Especially when it comes to something as ambiguous yet dynamic as poverty. Countries have researched the general sources of global extreme poverty in their nations, but for individuals, day to day distinctive issues can be harder to aid.

America & its Lack of Compassion for its Own Citizens
The most iconic duo is America, and its lack of compassion for its own citizens. Since coronavirus changed the course of all of our lives just a few months ago it has become abundantly clear that we the people do not matter at all. $1,2000 for four months, that is, if you got a stimulus check at all. Right now 28 million Americas are at risk of eviction. 51 Million Americans are unemployed. Even if you are lucky enough to either have kept you job or been hired within the last few months just going to work every day, you are at risk of contracting a deadly virus that you might pass on to your loved ones because your fellow citizens don’t want to do the bare minimum of wearing a mask because their rights are being ‘threatened.’

The Cavalry Is Out There Somewhere
It won’t be long now. These are the last days of Donald Trump. At last we will be able to ignore him altogether. So it is okay to just pass the days, get along down the road. Forgot him. We are talking about what is most therapeutic. Change is around the corner.

The Forever Iconic Duo of Liberty and Justice
As we stood for the pledge every school day, some with hands over hearts, the last part of the Pledge of Allegiance is what sticks in the mind. “...Liberty and justice…” remain the two pieces that weave the fabric of this great nation together. Though long sought after and fought over, these two ideals continue to be the iconic duo that permeates through American culture.
