How Generation Z Will Change the Business World
By all accounts, the business landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, and young people are helping to fuel that rapid change. Generation Z, in particular, is poised to change the business world in a number of ways. For starters, young people are drawn to gig work, with more than half of Gen Zers reporting that they would choose full-time gigs over a traditional job. For Gen Z, gig work is appealing for various reasons, including schedule flexibility and the opportunity to be their own boss. The gig economy also negates the need for in-person interviews, which may be awkward for introverts or...
How to study at home when everything is whispering "LOOK AT ME"?
I was thinking it is super easy to study at home, just sit and open your notebook. Guess what? My brain told me: "Look! You have so much interesting around!" Suddenly your cup of tea sounds like an ocean full of fish, your room turns into the forest, and you feel it's time to explore! Staying at home is a good opportunity to improve your skills! I guess it happens to everyone! Don't forget to use your imagination! If you are between 13 and 24, share your illustrations, drawings and other art content that help raise awareness on the importance of supporting each other, kindness in terms of...
What high school should look like in a couple of years
Are you wondering what a student's life will look like in a couple of years? They will not have to work up so early like I did when I was still a high school student. I am so jealous! Back in the day, every day in the morning, I fight the sleepiness battle. My school starts at 7:50 a.m which I believe is extremely early for all students in general. Meanwhile, high school students are considered to be going through puberty, a step in their life before entering adulthood. Regarded, it’s the most significant period of time for teenagers to balance academics and social life. Getting enough sleep...
The Flaw in the Education System
Education is the very key to success. While less developed countries are struggling to deliver education to all of their people, developed countries still have a problem - a flaw in the system itself. What’s this flaw, you may ask? Have you ever asked yourself “Why am I learning Hamlet when I want to become a scientist?” or “Why am I taking algebra and do all of these complicated math problems when I want to become an artist?” Well, most would answer that it is to meet the requirement for graduation. This is the reason why the education system is flawed: students are forced to learn things...
Yemen: The World’s Largest Humanitarian Crisis
War is more than the upfront violence seen. War is deeper than a simple disagreement. War is brutal. For years now, Yemen has suffered from an extremely violent civil war with significant foreign involvement. While this conflict is essentially one regarding the government within Yemen, it has had tremendous effects on all aspects of life. Fighting has denied Yemenis some of their most basic rights as humans. Some of which includes and has resulted in: children being denied a proper education due to school closers, families being internally displaced, and malnutrition plaguing a significant...
Pain and sorrow
Oh dear, I am a homeless I am a victim of authority who is reckless The war had me hopeless It made my life a full darkness How dare humans who dont feel on us Instead they raise weapons on us My dear, my eyes are full with tears I need a one with whom I can share my worries Mom died and Dad with my hand was buried Still I am a child and I need them But who could explain this to those people with fierceness Is our life to that extent cheap Or are their hearts with violence fed Griefness, Sorrowness and oppressiveness In these three word my life is expressed
The Refugee crisis: why should you care?
Throughout history, the word refugee has been associated with the term refuge, which is a safe shelter that a person resides in search of protection. Today, a refugee is defined as a person who has been forced to leave his home country due to war, violence, or fear of prosecution as a result of certain ideas and beliefs, race, religion, sectarianism, nationality, or political opinion. The above definition was what I found on the internet. But, what the internet does not mention is that a refugee is someone who struggles every day to find something to eat, to find somewhere safe to stay, to...
To the, Tunisian dreams, scraper… (part 3)
*** Far from remorses, from crime, from pain, Take me away, wagon, take me away, frigate, this sentence was familiar to me, a quote among the thorny flowers hurt me, but I didn't care anymore, and life didn't bother me. If before I stood in front of a window, now I was in total darkness. I was as white as Candide and my misdeeds were less, but yet I felt myself near the Styx marshland. When life no longer smiles, joy becomes unimaginable, the outcome was clear. If the shadow over the city was only a shadowy image, then my soul was no longer alive and so for the last time I gave my last breath...
The socio-economic impact of COVID-19 and its grip on us young people and children
“Poverty is when you don’t have any money. Because of a lack of money, children and us young people don’t have a chance to develop. We may not have a good profession or a good foundation for life.” This is how I describe the impact of poverty. Whether it’s the instant loss of income that so many parents face as a result of COVID-19 or the austerity measures that may follow, children and us young people are currently and will bear the brunt of this pandemic long after the virus itself has been eradicated. Projections change daily, with some predictions that the recession that follows COVID-19...
5 ways to reach your goal
Any time you have a goal there is some steps that need to be done in order to achieve it, here is my way to reach a goal: UNDERSTAND WHAT DO YOU WANT EXACTLY Understand what do you want exactly is the first step, you have first to look for your goal in this life, ask yourself what is the purpose of my existence? Practice various hobbies even if you do not know how to do it maybe lead to find your passion in life, and if you do not find your goal just continue to search because you just do not see clearly! UNDERSTAND THE NEXT RIGHT MOVE This is the second step. After determining your desired...
Rising of a Young Activist
As a 17-year-old gender activist from Istanbul, my journey started two years ago when my 7-year-old brother once told me that I was lucky because I just simply could get married and I didn't have to work after. That was probably the moment when I apprehended I was going to be, I had to be the voice of change. That was the moment when I realized the risk of this mindset created by the society. Such a stereotype that even could, and would, affect little child's thought structure. Deeply in my heart, I knew I had to do something, something but didn't know where to start, nor what to do. Since...
Homophobia in PE Lessons
Sports fields, courts, locker rooms, all have one particular thing in common. They are hotspots for homophobia. Homophobia should not have a place in Sport, Education Settings, Workplaces and everywhere else. So how do we tackle this problem in schools? Aren't we already making progress with the LGBT+ community in sport? Haven't we done enough? The approach is simple, but it requires governments, education facilities and National Governing Bodies with the clubs they represent to take part. First of, making a zero-tolerance policy to any type of discrimination, homophobia is not the only issue...
How to support a friend if you think they could be at risk of violence
Understanding the Problems America Faces is the Key to Solving Them
Once a year we get a physical with our local doctor to check up on our overall well being. Every four years we elect a leader to head our nation. When we run out of toilet paper we go to the local store and pick up some more. All of these things share a common denominator, that paired with collaborative fostering will be the key to attempting to solve the current societal issues. That common key factor is trust. We trust that our doctors will adequately give us care to the best of their abilities. We trust our officials to represent our various interests. We trust our stores to have toilet...
LGBT+ in Education
We have a problem in our schools. 45% of LGBT pupils (inc 64% trans pupils) are bullied for their sexual orientation or gender identity in Britain's Schools. Only one in five LGBT pupils have been taught about safe sex in relation to same-sex relationships. That's four in five missing vital education in Britain's Schools. Schools need to do more. Both in education and socially. No-one should be bullied especially for something they have no control over, and schools need to do more to combat homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. It starts with the younger generation. We need to raise our voice...
Advice on what to do after college
Finishing compulsory full-time education and figuring out what to do after college can be quite daunting, especially when you don’t know what to be. It was already extremely difficult for someone who knew what she wanted to do with her life, AKA, me. Sometimes, I feel like I did not make the right choice going to university because it was what the majority were doing around me. I did not really think about what I wanted to gain from my life at university. Sometimes I feel like I just went to university to study English because I was always good at it, I liked writing, and I could get into any...
On achievement and if it relates to self-worth
Does your achievement tie into your self-worth? More accurately, do you let your self-worth be determined by achievement? Some of these questions are what circle around my mind from day to day. I have not yet submitted my answer in this particular test set by my own brain. Maybe these questions don’t have answers. Maybe they are all just part of an on-going and ever-growing list of discussions that humanity is yet to have due to the rush of everyday life. Anyway, where did these questions even come from in the first place you may ask? Well, I like to think that they came to me as a result of...
The Cheerharan
Sometime ago in the previous month, I was watching the ‘Draupadi Cheerharan scene’ from the epic Mahabharata. But my mind was somewhere else: why was someone not doing anything? Why did she receive silence when she pleaded in front of at least a hundred people? The culture has been in trend since so many centuries and is unfortunately being continued till now, till this date, till this very minute. Long story short, I want to say that students don’t get sex education in schools but gain access to free porn, it cripples their minds and they don’t understand how to deal with it. They start to...
COVID- 19's Effect on Educational Inequalities in the UK
On March 20th 2020, in an unprecedented move to stem the spread of coronavirus, schools closed in the UK. With thousands of students given short notice to say goodbye to those they have shared memorable years of their education with, the Government’s move sparked a period of immense uncertainty for Britain’s Youth. Not only did it highlight the very real danger that COVID 19 posed to our society, but it also plunged millions of students into an uncertain situation that they could not have envisaged. Almost instantaneously, plans to take exams, say goodbye to either primary school, secondary...
