Dave Chappelle should know better, but he doesn’t
Dave Chappelle’s most recent stand up special “The Closer” was heavily reported on for its controversial remarks. Soundbites were taken from it and played on cable news. Many YouTube videos were made of creators reacting to it. With all the talk around it, no one seemed to bother to ask, was the special actually any good? Honestly, it was pretty OK.

What is the purpose of World Philosophy Day?
I have never really been interested in philosophy, and that is why hearing that there is a day dedicated to philosophers was surprising to me. It turns out that the third Thursday of November is World Philosophy Day, created by UNESCO in 2002. On this day people can share their thoughts on philosophers, promote intellectual philosophical debates and have the ability to confront challenges today.

It’s never too early for Christmas
Christmas is a favored holiday for many people because when it comes to holiday cheer, Christmas is about having a giving spirit. Many have a passion for this time of year not only in December, but also year-round. The question arises of whether or not it’s too early to celebrate the Christmas season.

Feminism is failing
Feminism is a complex movement with a multitude of subsections that are often overlooked. In itself traditional feminism isn’t malicious. However, the complete disregard for intersectionality causes traditional feminism to fall behind and fail to protect the people it was made for. The objective of traditional feminism is to advocate for women’s rights on the basis of the […]
Politicians should not be treated like celebrities
There are quite a few politicians who are household names, not because they serve in your area but because of their celebrity status. While it’s important to recognize politicians for their accomplishments in helping the country function, I think that putting politicians on such a high personal pedestal is harmful to both the citizens and the politicians. Politicians are […]
