Every aspect of the cities’ structure plays a crucial role in shaping their uniqueness, charm, success, and the future.

Now a new concept of interest called "Fake News" has emerged.

The Crux of Language
Language and correctness not only obstruct our relationships and how we communicate but has already shaped our future. Do we really want a future where sympathy doesn’t count! “Why “illegal immigrant” is a slur” by Charles Garcia, “Why you shouldn’t be politically correct” by Anna Munsey-Kano and “Do you think the poor are lazy” by Anat Shenker-Osorio. The authors reflect on how political correctness, language and brought up words affect our society.

Core Commonalities of the Human Species – Part 1: Life
A plague runs rampant among the human species and every member has been infected and affected to varying degrees. This plague is the deadly disease of division among the members of the human species. To truly build a better global human civilization that has the best interest of every human being we must abolish the division mentality that exists in the mindsets of the human species. The threat of this division mentality is it detracts from our ability to synergize as a species and solve the problems that the global human civilization faces. Removing the dividing lines that this division mentality has created is a pertinent problem that must be solved in order to positively progress the global human civilization. As the HCRC, we believe that solving this problem can only be accomplished by changing the culture of the human species. The culture of the human species is compiled by all of the thoughts and corresponding actions of all members of the human species. The way we begin changing this culture of division is through a globally conscious effort of rewiring our mentalities on our differences and refocusing on our commonalities as a species which in turn will influence our actions among each other as a species.

In these times of unrest and uncertainty, we must look within ourselves to find that seed of what makes us great, what makes us strong, what makes us Americans.

No, this isn't the "war" that young people need
Without a doubt, the current pandemic is an awful time - for everybody. So, understand my confusion (and shock) when I see online posts and even articles stating that the younger generations "needed" this hardship.

An Open Letter to Trump Supporters and Anyone Willing to Listen
To whom it may concern, First of all, let's get the formalities off the table. Hello. My name is Dalton. I'm a liberal (thought I should just go ahead and rip that Bandaid off). I want to talk, not as an opponent, but as a fellow American. I had a different narrative opening this letter, but as I continued to write I was forced to change it. I would love to have a passionate, yet informed, discussion, but sometimes that's not always possible. So I would like to just point out a few things that have happened in recent news and then ask a few questions.

Covid-19: Freedom and Sacrifice in a Pandemic
Is there anyone out there who actually wants all of the restrictions being placed on so much of the planet as the result of the Covid-19 pandemic? No. The answer is no. The vast majority of people do not want to live under restrictions imposed by governments. And that is completely understandable.
