politics
Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Unipolar Order
A unipolar order in the international world can be described as an allotment of power in which one state, the superpower, exercises its influence in terms of culture, economy, and military. It illustrates the nature of the global system at any given time. In the unipolar order, the superpower or the leader state normally dictates the internal politics and the communal character of the sub-ordinate states that are parts of the hegemonic subject of influence.

Boris Addresses 250 Conservative MPs.
Yesterday, Boris Johnson addressed 250 Members of Parliament (MPs), asking them, to back his 'Internal Market Bill'. Boris outlined that not supporting such a bill could threaten what he called, "the integrity", of the UK. In other words, not backing the bill, could threaten the very fabric of the four nations, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, that make up the United Kingdom.

The crack, The Elections and The Street
In the nine weeks leading up to November 3, the U.S. presidential election, in which Donald Trump is up for re-election to his second term, will continue to be a topic of forced political analysis. It's not that things don't happen in other regions. In the Mediterranean, Greece and Turkey are playing a dangerous war game, with the dispute over energy resources and geopolitical preponderance as its background. In Belarus, the revolt against the eternal president Aleksander Lukashenko is recreating the war of attrition between the European Union representing the "West" on one side, and Putin's Russia on the other. In the South China Sea, a rain of missiles fired by Beijing to reaffirm its claim to sovereignty showed the growing military trend that the strategic rivalry between the Asian giant and the United States is taking on. This is without mentioning the crisis in Lebanon, where France is playing its role as the ruling power in the framework of a fluid situation in the Middle East.

Delineating Democracy
In a previous article Defining Democracy: A Continuous Stream of Political Evolution, it was stated that the democratic process ought to be concrete in it’s values and goals, but also have the ability to be flexible with the everlasting changes of the human condition and the will of nature as new eras rise and fall and when technology eliminates human dependency. However, as the political events surrounding the presidency of Donald Trump, his administration, the liberal majority in the House; in contrast to the conservative majority of the Senate and Supreme Court, It must be made clear that the current model of American Democracy both does and does not follow the thesis of the older article. For democracy in the United States continually battles amongst itself to continually evolve with the changing tides of culture and technology; meanwhile certain figures of political power and position continually advocate that such progress is resulting in the abandonment of the efforts of the Founders as set down in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. An argument which closely mirrors the ever constant battle between the word of God in the Holy Bible and the word of Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species.

Homes on the Right Tracks
The British housing crisis has been brewing for several decades. It is a crisis of unaffordability that has complex ‘knock on’ effects for social mobility and inequality in our society. The solution is remarkably straightforward. We need to build more homes.
