Politics, News & Issues > Pulitzer Center How can US foreign policy be improved by the paradox that Iran is often viewed as America's most serious threat even though its youthful population is among the most pro-western Muslim countries?

1 of 42

"Death to the Dictator!" "Where is our Vote?" shout thousands of protesters in the heart of Tehran and across the globe in pockets of Iranian communities, marking Ahmedinejad's election win against his reformist counterparts. Some compare the massive protest, against an indisputably and crudely managed election fraud, to the ... More..

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Desperation

2 of 8

It's been a trailing persistent force that lives deep within the dark void of emotions. It hides during the day beneath forced smiles and feigned elation at the sight of familiar things. But under that calculated and pretentious exterior there is a raving perilous storm. I feel the cold wind that reminds me of a suffocating a... More..

Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should bisexuals be considered homosexuals?

12 of 25

For the record, I find it amusing how the two distinct terminologies in the question embeds the single but not solely black-and-white answer: bisexuals are not homosexuals and shouldn't be considered as one. But the answer can not be broken down or dissected into two separate lines of whether one is either bisexual or homosex... More..

Arts & Humanities > British Authors Is J.K. Rowling turning the Harry Potter series into dark literature rather than youth literature?

15 of 31

Who's to say that youth literature can't be beautifully intertwined with dark elements that adolescents can identify with in some ways?

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Is globalization good or bad?

6 of 9

The reality is, the question whether globalization is good or bad is not black and white. But it can be inferred that the process of connecting various economies and spreading technology, ideas, and culture has done more good than harm. Globalization has posed the more overt economic, social and also political benefits worldw... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Racism Racism in the Philippines

4 of 6

Although it is natural for locals to treat foreigners/visitors/tourists warmly, almost with a strange fascination from what these people find particularly beautiful or interesting about the country, it doesn't mean racism in the Philippines is diluted. In fact, from my experience living in the country, I can't think of a nati... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures Commentary: Narcissism in youth culture

8 of 11

While it may be obvious that the advent of narcissism is apparent in youth culture in the 21st century, the notion that this "excessive interest in oneself and one's appearance" is largely the product of popular culture and people's sense of individuality, is a lot more obscure.Narcissism is overt and very present among youth...

Sciences > Psychology Challenges of being an introvert

15 of 20

Introversion is a personality nuisance that can allow a person to feel like a solid, brick wall separates him/her from society. It's a shameful trait that describes someone who's generally not open, somebody who keeps more to themselves and thrive in solitude. It's quite a lonely existence to be introverted for various reason... More..
