Slavery, Oppression, and the Dawn of the Free World
Imagine that you are the passenger in a car on a long work-related road trip. In the driver’s seat is your boss — a hard, driving tyrant of a man who seems to be on his last nerve. He’s driving the two of you to your destination on a busy, narrow two-lane highway. You hoped to get this trip over with a minimum amount of communication between the two of you, and so far, it’s going okay. But there’s just one problem. You checked your GPS…he’s headed in the wrong direction. He’s been heading in the wrong direction for over an hour.

Freedom
No one enjoys and appreciates freedom than a person who has and is been deprived of it. Freedom is the most loved and highly appreciated moment in the life of a man. Being deprived of freedom can result in a whole lot of things. Humans won't be able to attain their full potential when deprived of freedom, It brings limits to a man's thoughts, It makes vision seem impossible and unattainable. A man that is in bondage or slavering can not see any good things happening to him, And that is not his fault. He is constrained to doing that which he is required to do and to say. his movements are restricted as he can not move beyond the geographical area he's been confined to. He is deprived of seeing the outside world the way every human will see and interact with it. All he does is to see the same environment and buildings around his ecosystem.

Is The Covid 19 Pandemic Beginning of The End of The World As We Have Known It?
We are in a truly epochal moment in time with the ongoing Covid 19 Pandemic wreaking havoc around the world. While our overburdened healthcare systems struggle to cope with the record waves and surges of the infected, our politicians are clueless and our administrators helpless. On the other hand, the much vaunted private sector has for once, been knocked off its self constructed high pedestal as even they cannot claim that they are “masters of all they survey”.

Virtual Happiness
Post-War Paradise The American Dream. It became a slogan and mindset after the American’s won World War II. The horror and scale of destruction left a nasty imprint on so many young soldiers' minds, that they wanted to comfort and security when they got home. They wanted to all but forget all the dark and horrific scenes that were played out in front of them overseas daily.

How Is Australia Obligated To Advancing Human Rights Globally?
Human rights hold a significant place in everyone's life, and issues related to them can potentially affect anyone. The problems are like experiencing discrimination in the workplace because of age, race or gender. Some people with distinctive sexual orientations or gender individualism are bullied for expressing themselves or whom they are attracted to. This is where human rights and global governance play a vital role as these take care of human preferences.

Yes, of course race is a social construct
While I was in college, one of my affable hippie professors declared, to an audience of Poli-Sci 101 students, that race was a "social construct." Observing the confused looks on his students’ faces, he elaborated. Race is a man-made concept, he said, and is not necessarily based in science. Instead, racial labels (including "black" and "white") change with the times--and with political agendas. He pointed out that some European immigrants weren't considered "white" in 19th-century America, when they were new and unwelcome.

What Are We Doing Here?
I often wonder about what my purpose is and about what society's purpose is. It seems that throughout history, we have diverged and become something mother nature may not have fully anticipated. Let me explain; around four billion years ago, life began to eat life at the bottom of the ocean; from there, animals grew expanded, new ones appeared while others disappeared.

The Era of New Hegemon World Order
Once there was a young boy in a village. He was a kid when both of his parents died a natural death. He was left to live a miserable life by nature. None of his relatives, friends came forward to lend a helping hand. With time, that boy grew up into an adult. But that experience shooked him badly from inside. He earned a lot of name, fame later. Then he came to assert his power what he’d achieved over the years.
