How can anyone govern when opinion is so diverse
How can anyone govern when opinion is so diverse Are humans suitable for government. Population levels in nearly every nation are at their highest ever level. The colossal numbers involved and the diversity of opinion because we now have universal education and media saturation, has made the doctrine that numbers of apparent supporters is a valid reason for control, into a distortion of democracy.

The Great Depression:
Introduction The Great Depression was a significant and harrowing chapter in American history, reshaping the economy, society, and government. It serves as a stark reminder of how interconnected our financial systems are and how the decisions we make today can echo through time. Alarmingly, many of the factors that contributed to the Great Depression are resurfacing in our current climate. This essay will highlight the causes of the Great Depression and draw parallels to contemporary issues, including government deregulation, corruption, the glorification of wealth, and the rise of exclusionary purity movements. With only 4 years away from the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Depression, it behoves us to take a serious sociopolitical look at the parallels of today that have us headed unavoidably to our next one.

Project 2025 Isn’t the Threat—The Unconstitutional Status Quo Is
If bringing power back under the Constitution feels dangerous, maybe the real danger is what we've accepted as "normal." The outrage over Project 2025 says a lot—not about the project, but about how far we've let our government drift from the Constitution. Because if returning power to elected officials and dismantling unelected bureaucracies feels "authoritarian," maybe the system we've accepted isn't as democratic as we think.

We Are Not a Democracy: Why the Founders Built a Republic
We say we want to destigmatize mental health to create a space where people can speak openly, seek help without shame, and be heard with compassion. But if you look closer, you'll see a very different trend emerging. Mental health isn't always treated as a concern to be addressed. Increasingly, it's being used as a weapon.

Can We Make Americans Lives Better
Can We Make American Lives Better When it comes to improving the lives of Americans, Republicans and Democrats have vastly different approaches with their own strengths and weaknesses. Republicans tend to push for tax cuts and fewer government rules. They emphasize goals of helping businesses grow and creating jobs. Some tax cuts, especially those aimed at working families, have shown clear benefits. But tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy rarely lead to higher wages or more jobs for most people. Studies show those cuts often result in stock buybacks or bigger bonuses for executives, and infrequently "trickles down" to improve the lives of low- and middle-income earners.
