This is it guys, we made it. After 12 long years were finally starting our adult lives, a fork in the road with what seems to have endless directions. The question we all must asks are selves is if were ready, regardless of the answer we need to dive in headfirst. No more hand holding,…
Mr Marks Ted Talk
The famous World Literature teacher MR Mark Cooprider recently gave a Ted Talk, and I think some of the lessons he discussed in it are worth reflecting upon. He talks about the book “Cry The Belloved Country” and about its themes and messages. He also mentions 2 very important, and damaged characters. He explains that…
Che’s Call To Action
Che Guevera was a terrible person. He openly stated that he killed without regard to guilt or innocence, rounded up homosexuals and put them in labor camps, made racist statements about people of african decsent, and on top of all that he had a messiah complex.

If you consider fundamentalism as a concept entirely dangerous, then which ideological values should we cling to instead? If every idea and value eventually becomes old and overtime is considered fundamental than should we only cling to new ideas? Yes and no, if there is an idea that seems to look as if it is…

Rebellion is not an attack from the child to his parrents but rather a defence against the molding nature of…
