Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Voter apathy and its effect on democracy in the U.S.: 1 of 35

Is political apathy a natural state or is it a learned reaction? Can the powers-that-be blame the common people for being apathetic. After all, it's us the peons who've made you and this country what it is yet, some of you, who we've voted into office, have raped the American public royally. No matter how hard politicians, p...
Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry Poetry analysis: He is More Than a Hero, by Sappho: 6 of 18

Poetry analysis: He is More Than a Hero, by Sappho. Analyzing any particular poem can be an exercise in futility. No one can read a writer's poem and instantaneously climb into the scribe's mind and exactly know the who[s], the what[s] and the why[s] of their particular piece or any piece that they've written. In the case of...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: When you bury me: 20 of 34

After I leave this lifelessness and crash the home of worms (along with other immaterial substances) it'll be then sun and moon will dip in luminous mourning. They'll bleach these bones, force them to weep in their marrow, absorb pithy sighs, sponge moans of eulogies, make rock neighbors knock hallelujah choruses, stretch ro...
Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology A country divided: Political tensions building in America: 34 of 47

If you've ever watched the Animal Planet or some T.V. documentary special, you've probably seen gray-back gorillas thumping their chests vying for the alpha spot. Well, that's what we have every four years with elections. The only difference is, these simians are wearing Gucci shoes and suits from Bullock & Jones or imported...
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues Evaluating whether black people know who they really are: 11 of 15

Are you African-American, Black-American, Other, or do you have the guts, the tenacity, or knowledge of self, to just say, American. Do we, as America's darker brother, really know who we are? Langston Hughes said "We too, are America" and he's right! Just because of the blood and sweat our ancestors poured in to building Am...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Methods Different parenting styles and their effect on children's behavior: 13 of 17

Not only does the different parenting styles effect children's behavior, it also can affect society's peace of mind. I remember when we (my generation) were young. We had to behave ourselves when out of sight of our parents. In the neighborhood, all the neighbors were either Aunt this or Uncle that, we had no fear of being m...
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Views on illegal immigration in the US: 132 of 164

I find the subject of illegal immigration in the United States a comical subject, in a sad deluded kind of way. I shake my head in amazement when immigrants call other immigrants illegal. People whose ancestors came to these lands in the seventeen, eighteen or early nineteen hundreds and after, are twiddling their thumbs wit...
Health & Fitness > Depression What are the physical origins of depression?: 7 of 8

When growing up, I remember when I'd feel down in the mouth or blue, my mother would always tell me, "stop it, it's all in your head". Well Mom, it's taken science thirty odd years to prove you wrong. Feeling blue is sometimes more than just being blue. I still haven't figured out why they choose blue to describe depression,...
