Racism
When empathy and love shall abide in the conscience of man, racism shall cease to be a problem to humanity.

God Bless America, a phrase used so poorly by those who reside in such a baren and divided country to boast our so-called pride in our nation. How have we come from such humble, honest beginnings yet turned to such violent, bloodbath conflicts? To this day, we still struggle to unite the nations of this world and unite our people. Instead of loving our neighbors, we harbor resentment and fear against them. How long will it take for us to remove the covers we have placed on our eyes, and truly see what it takes to change the world than destroy it. When will our nations cease to exist as...
How horrendous is it inside the war zone? The echo of anguished cry and silent moan Resonates all over but can’t be heard As the war is noisy and jarred. On the Earth where flowers blossom, I see stains of blood. This bizarre sight gives me viperish dreads. Deepens my fright with sleepless nights. The purity of the soil gone. Father no more for a newborn. Hearts shattered and lives thrown. Endless tears on cheeks rolling down. Malice caused for the love of his nation, Turns out to be fiendish for humanity. Ain't the right way to express his affection, By harming another country. Killing and...
One of the world’s biggest democracies had gone into lockdown on 24 March 2020 because of the rapid spread of COVID 19 pandemic. Currently, India is one of the worst-hit countries in the world with the number of cases rising every day, going up to almost 50,000 cases in a single day. I, myself have been very lucky to be living in Switzerland where the number of cases have been decreasing. Switzerland has been one of the few countries that have had minimal economic and social impact due to the pandemic. However, India, on the other hand, has suffered significant damage with their economic...
Excellencies, Presidents, Leaders, When, in the early morning, in a mist of cloudy weather, you enter your office, sit down and start working, what do you hear, what do you smell? Human voices, the perfume of freshly made coffee, sun rays shining a light on your working table? After having worked long hours you return home and in your bedroom, in the silence of the night, you can sleep knowing that the following day you’ll get up again, in a mist of cloudy weather. Solving wars, finding impossible solutions, achieving equality, relieving the plight of millions is your everyday task and we all...
When a competition is held, both participants who had waited for the longest time to showcase their skills and participants who had never considered competing before coming across the competition's announcement, would be willing to participate. A competition is a great opportunity for each to officially prove themselves. Here is why I encourage competitions to be set. 1) I personally know someone who took part in a competition established by an international institute, she is currently employed by a big 4 company alongside many other previous competitors, so, competitions are a great way for...
Architecture is one the toughest courses in India. Being the toughest and costliest, you struggle to find a job and survive. The salaries offered are not worth and not up to the mark of your potential, and are more or less equal to the salary of a cab driver or maybe less. What's the use of investing so much on this profession and getting nothing? I have completed my architecture course this year, and now I'm an architect but it's hard to survive in any city. I'm working in Pune (Maharashtra). But here the employment conditions and opportunities are few. But you need to survive with that, go...
So, this a quotation that we say in my country, Lebanon, and which means “we are all in this together”. As you know, COVID-19 has spread all over the world, and that made me think that no matter how much we can be different in our different countries, cultures, habits, thoughts… This situation reunites us and shows us that we are not THAT different. The virus can affect me as it can affect any other person around the world! We are all in this together, so we must take care of each other, be kind, be helpful, cheer each other up, and so it can be a first step to the end of discrimination and a...
We need to stop discriminating, it will not help solve the Coronavirus. We need to come together as country, as a nation and as the world. We need to unite in order to conquer COVID-19.

The concept of a dependable income for a citizen body isn’t a new one. The Roman emperors were famous for giving away bread to their hungry citizens thousands of years ago. Modern programs like unemployment insurance and food stamps continue to flirt with the idea as well. Going “all-in” on a basic income for all and sundry, though, remains a step that the U.S. government has not yet taken. Democratic presidential hopeful Andrew Yang made waves in the lead-up to the 2020 election with his “Freedom Dividend” that championed the concept of a “Universal Basic Income” or UBI, but it was more or...
*** A gun to the eye brought a tear to the heart and took the life of my dearest sister. O thou who brought pain to suffice her spleen. If the life was not convenient for you, from the beginning, of your mania you equipped yourself, to return my sun, to me darling, so blackened. A last step towards life? Spread out for a last moment, to breathe this air? Smile at life one last time? My so utopian hope, did not make possible the vision of my fathers. In the media, the charge touched them, one with the other, intent upon misfortune. What seemed to be such a wonderful day was not so wonderful now...
Every drop that falls down paints the bathroom floor red You might not have meant it, but they ended up dead. Each thought you spoke aloud, weighed heavy on their heart Unbeknownst to you it started tearing them apart. You've always made these jokes, but never thought of what could come If all the hate you spread around, finally turns their hearts numb. You keep spouting out your words and believe that they'll be fine To then suddenly seem surprised when you've pushed them over the line. Oh no it was only a joke, they took it the wrong way I didn't really mean when I told them that they should...
At the age of 19, Malak got married. At that young age, she probably thought that she had found the love of her life – a man who would protect her, support her, and help her achieve her dreams. She probably thought that she had found her happily ever after. However, it did not take long for that dream to be shattered. A year after her marriage, Malak set herself on fire, as a result of the continuous abuse and violence inflicted by her husband and his family. Some sources report that it was Malak's husband who has set her on fire, while others say she decided to end her own life. Regardless of...
At first, I was reluctant to write an article about the current issue of the George Floyd protests, because I thought I was not informed enough to have an opinion. I therefore paid extreme attention to the unfolding events and what different activists and people at the fore front of these protests had to say and I was able to see what the media is missing yet is very important. First of all, the media is tainting the protests as violence filled protests. Which is not entirely the case and it is very disturbing that this is what the media is focusing on. Are they looting? Yes. Are they damaging...
Xenophobia and racism to the Asian community have increased massively since the start of the pandemic, causing misleading accusations to have triggered despicable actions that exceed humanity. In a world that is filled with so many beautiful cultures and races, it is devastating that some are overlooked and not accepted. Change is a basic principle that was supposed to happen centuries ago, now it is mandatory for it to be a lifestyle - normalized throughout the whole circumference of the planet. Every race is a piece of art, a formidable museum that will allow entrances once the visitors are...
