Respect young people
Yesterday, one of my Bengali literature teachers said something that left a mark in my heart, and I couldn’t agree more. He said that adults choose the safe side, when young people want the justice. I will add some more to his statement. Adults don’t want to take risks, but young people aren’t afraid to take risks and they want to experiment. That's why young people find ways in times when adults don’t. Young people lack maturity and sometimes judgement. Adults must guide them and teach them. They need to correct their mistakes. Young people need their supervision. But, adults try to control...

Reimagine a better world: "kind is kind, not an option"
When I was 17, I made a video telling my hopes for this world. I want to see and feel more kindness and respect from people towards other people as well as to all creatures on this earth. I want more people who are aware of the important things that must be our particular concern and must be discussed together in order to achieve the world we aspire to. However, now I am 21 years old. For about 3 years from the video I made, I went through various valuable events and lessons in life. In addition, I practice critical thinking and thinking about the possibilities and impossibility that occurs in...
We need to change society
On March 15, 2019, the Muslim community witnessed a horrific act. An Australian man by the name of Brenton Harrison Tarrant attacked Muslims at a mosque. Last I watched the news it was stated that 50 people were killed and an additional 50 were wounded or in critical condition. I felt great sadness and despair as I watched the news because It seems like every other day you turn on the news people are being killed at the hands of terrorists or gunmen. When are WE as a society going to put a stop to such acts of hatred and fight for what's right? In the world that we live today such things as...
The end to violence is long overdue
Violence is brought up by hatred A feeling so deep all you can do is ask “why me?” I have seen this violence with my own eyes But I am not proud to say I have seen some die We as a society have gone through great ordeals of pain This violence will not only leave you beaten and battered physically But mentally too This is “giving to the world a tired and ugly message of terror and brutality and hate” They have left us here to rot in poverty in such a corrupted place We have to fight and break free from this cycle of violence For change To end the bad path that was set for your kids and mine We...

Childhood needs peace
As a child, you have dreams, wishes and happiness. A child just wants to play in a room. A child just wants to be a superhero and stand together with his family. A child wants to experience happiness. The current situation and the war is a nightmare for the children. They are afraid, afraid. Every day, every hour, every minute and every second. You hear explosions. What about her friends and relatives? Fear is growing. Are you okay? Are they still alive? Childhood needs peace. Due to the war, children cannot go to school, even though they want to. Children have dreams, even in war. We must do...
Reparations for the emancipated kings and queens
Generations of races, That went through lines of changes, to bring riches to the blameless. The people call it reparation, but they get paid for suffering, don’t they know our pain? Why doesn’t my race get paid? We barely even get paid the same. The folks who set the bar, Left us to build it. This country still isn't stable, Because we’re still building. African Americans, so-called “Blacks”, in the line of payment, we’re always last. Does the government even react that fast? Considering some obvious and certain facts, history’s important events have led us on this track. The Japanese...
A Woman is More Than Just a Glitter
A woman is more than just a glitter Women are regarded as "weak" and "fragile" in our society, they are frequently stigmatized as being incapable of doing anything other than cooking, laundry, and other household chores. As a result, no one believed that someone as frail as them could effect change, lead a nation, keep up with men, or even stand alongside them. Women's empowerment can be defined as promoting women's self-esteem, ability to make their own decisions, and right to influence social change for themselves and others. Advocating for women's empowerment is often misconstrued as...
A war for good governance
When I was young I had no idea why people of the same country wage a war against each other. As I grew up I learned from the media that people wage wars because they want to see good governance. The idea of war for good governance brought me to these questions. Do wars really bring good governance? Why do civil wars last for a long time? It was 1994 when I first heard of the civil war in the neighboring country Rwanda. A war which flooded neighboring countries with a lot of refugees, mostly women and children. To date I have witnessed several civil wars all over the world with the same motive...
Don’t get disappointed
Being rejected is an every day part of our lives and it can suck. The reason rejection sucks is that our species depends on being social and interacting with each other, regardless of how anti-social some of us are. I, as an introvert, find being around people often tiring, okay? I think some of you can agree on that. Anyway, despite how smoothly you think your life is going, you are bound to run into rejection the moment you set foot outside your home. I guess when you hear the word "rejection" a lot of us have the idea of romantic rejection in mind. For example, you are at your local cafّe...
OUR generation = OUR rights
In today's world we are not able to recognize our rights anymore. What rights do we have today? What are our limits? Has being insecure destroyed our opportunities in a world, where the biggest dream is to become famous and the worst nightmare is to meet someone who doesn’t use any social media platform? What are the rights that can protect a new born baby or an adult or anyone else just because they’re human? Not because they’re a good person or a bad one? The rights that truly protect us? Human rights is the only truly universal language on this earth, except sadly and perhaps constantly...
