The Dangers of the Internet Beyond Cyberbullying
When the topic of kids and the internet arise in just about any conversation, the subject of cyberbullying is rarely far behind. It’s one of the most prominent issues children and teens are facing today. Unfortunately, it’s not the only thing parents should be concerned about when it comes to their children using the internet. Online predators, posting private information and hackers phishing for information are just a few more of the problems we have to watch out for as our kids learn how to be responsible digital citizens. Here are just a few issues adults can keep an eye out for when it...
What I Learned About Myself When I Created My Own News Outlet For Young People
For much of my life, two words defined me: painfully shy. And, perhaps, socially anxious. I had trouble talking to people, even close friends. My heart would pound ahead of social interaction, and I often lay awake at night over an upcoming social event. Years would go by when I would hardly see my friends outside of school for fear of that simple social interaction. But those weren’t the only words that defined me. I was also incredibly passionate about the world. I desperately wanted to help people, a desire that only grew as I got older and learned more about the issues facing society. I...
Where do I belong?
I would
“I would” If you had the power to change something, what would it be? Walking in a cold night, looking at the incredible moon as white as a jasmine flower, I was thinking about this deep question, but suddenly a red Chevrolet distracted me, it was a Malibu 1981 identical to my grandfather's. It passed quickly on the narrow street, flashbacks started passing through my mind, followed by a smile. I 've heard quite a lot of people that tell me: "I would definitely change poverty" and someone else tells me, “I would definitely change injustice," and another person tells me "I would totally change...
Youth: Agents of Change
Given the issues we face today, almost everybody wants to make a change; everybody wants to be that change. However, the only thing constant in this world is change. It is only particular parts of society that refuses to accept that.
Kiosks, are they really convenient?
Do you know what a kiosk is? You may not be familiar with the name, but you've probably used them a lot. A Kiosk is a touchscreen information delivery system installed in public places. And we're using it in many fast food restaurants, banks, hospitals, etc. If you check the introduction rate of kiosks in one of the top three fast-food restaurants in Korea, more than 60 percent of stores have already introduced kiosks, and the increase rate is steep. The reason why we use kiosks so much is because it is convenient, but I think we should stop using them. First, it's hard for people with...

Changes
Of closed doors, and tears streaming down my face. When the heart was torn, and my mind was in dismay. Little did I know, that it was all about finding grace. And learning to accept, come what may. Understanding requires time, while accepting requires patience. The future is unseen, no road maps or navigation. Gathering strength through prayers in silence. As we find our way, like the stars in a constellation. Through the highs and lows, we learn to grow. A roller coaster ride, in this life that we know. We stumble and fall, as we reap what we sow. We pick ourselves up, that much to ourselves...

What would you say at your own funeral?
It's the opposite approach to life - the most unintuitive, eccentric, or perhaps grim way. It's a practice I'd say you should at least try once, maybe several times if you're up for the challenge. But remember, the goal of this exercise isn't to take a stroll in your journal and have a nice little chit-chat with your ego. It's to dig deep into your roots, and ask yourself: how do I want to die? Or rather, how do I want to be remembered and what do I want to be forgotten by everyone, and swiftly wiped out of history as I draw my last breath? It's a way to find yourself. Discover your goals and...
SHE
When I was a kid I had many friends. Boys and girls. We lived in the same neighbourhood. There was nothing I loved more than playing outside with them. But unless there were other girls with us too, I could not go outside with only the boys. Back then I did not understand how wrong that was. People would say that it was some rule that protected my "reputation", whatever that meant. I really hoped someday something would change. To this day, I think the mistreat of women has not gone away, it has only changed shape. We sometimes fail to comprehend the incredible creation that is women. We are...

The comfort of being uncomfortable
The world wants us to leave it better than we found it, it wants us to be the change, by speaking up and being the first domino. For a line of dominos to fall, one domino has to fall first, which leaves no choice for the others but to fall. For me, being a domino means doing the hardest things, especially when they are needed with the hope that others will follow soon. But let’s put the light on a very important topic, which is fear. Some will say “We are fearless!”, but none of them is unfraid of the consequences of their fall, and few of them are truly willing to be the next domino. Fear has...
Small actions matter! How to change the world one step at a time
True Terror
What is True terror? You may think that it is when a war is declared or a shooting etc. But I think true terror is when it involves yourself. If it doesn't Directly affect YOU then it cannot be described as terror. You may be scared but not in terror. Now terror does not have to be lethal or frightening. It can be as simple as your computer being taken away. And that’s what it was for me. That was the moment that I experienced true terror. We had just moved to Worthington two months ago, and all I did was play on my computer. My dad got fed up and started unplugging the cords powering the...

Technology in Health Care - Curse or Blessing?
In today’s world, technology plays a major role in almost every economic and social aspect of society as well as in our daily life. A life without it has become unimaginable. Also, the health sector has become highly dependent on it, in terms of medical devices and equipment for diagnosis and therapy, process organisation and data management, for the development of pharmaceuticals etc. While the people working in the medical sector are thrilled by these developments and face the future optimistically, patients on the other hand increasingly voice fear and unease concerning the mechanisation...
