Gen Z, technology-dependent?
Are there any of us that don't want the iPhone 13 Pro? I think most Gen Z, such as myself, wanted to have one, if and only if it's possible. But as the saying goes, "It's like hitting the moon though! Why oh why? You're dreaming!! You're only a student!" And my answer is that "And so? If I was dreaming, then I wanted to dream high. It's only a dream, you know? There is no payment for it." Gen Z, such as myself, are so unpredictable nowadays. We are sometimes misinterpreted, especially by those who don't understand and who do not want to understand us. If we spend too much time watching k...
What young people can learn from Florence Nightingale
More than just the “the lady with a lamp”. Today and henceforth the spotlight is on Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing. Earlier this year, I did a quick caricature of Florence Nightingale for a Fundamentals of Nursing practice course reflection paper. It got me thinking on how it was her environmental theory that defines the Nursing profession today as we combat #Coronavirus She was born into a rich British family of high social status in Florence, Italy (hence her name Florence). Her mother was against her choices to pursue Nursing School since at that time they believed...
Mental Health Awareness: Its Significance and Impact on Teenagers
Mental health awareness has been the ‘talk’ up to this day, especially among the teenagers which you can see all over social media, raising awareness and educating people about this issue. This is a kind of illness that you cannot actually recognize in a glimpse— it is an internal crisis within a person that involves changing in emotion, way of thinking, and behavior. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), almost one in five U.S adults suffers from mental illness which is 52.9 million in 2020. It ranges from mild to moderate to severe. Anxiety, depression, trauma, eating...
Ocean of burqas
Wrapped in a burqa silently in the corner of a decrepit bus, I embrace the nostalgic tune that begins my daydream. The tune creates images of the sea and its powerful stream. I think of how the waves extend outward to protect us. An ocean of burqas on board beguiling ships, Singing their hearts out to the fearless seas. Underneath the burqas, the expression of joy, And jubilation that comes with the tune eventually slips. A bolt of lightning slams the starboard side. My dream fades away, here comes the stormy sea. Cursing, a calloused hand viciously pulls at me, He is horrifying, as strong as...
Before the now
While we are enjoying the perks of having the most latest gadget and technologies, it is also important to look back and still be familiar with the traditional ones. Looking at the vast and fast pace of change we had overtime, it seems that most of us have been so engrossed with the current trends, whether it be in gadgets or in any other form of technological advancement. It is not wrong that we are up to date, the point is, we sometimes are so in love enjoying them that we forget to at least look back and still be familiar with what we used before. One of these traditional things is the use...
Strive to unite all nations!
Globalization makes it easier to travel and live in different places around the world. People with differing traditions and customs living with each other may raise some issues. However, here is where I believe the government should take action in ensuring peace and the common good. This starts with the government implementing rules to maintain equal benefits of its citizens. If people in a particular place feel belongingness and equality, people will be happier, satisfied and will live harmoniously with others. We have heard about many life stories of discrimination and racial distinctions...
