Being born in a society like ours means we are embedded in the culture of respecting our elders. It’s common sense to revere those who have gone far ahead of us in age; however, the issue of respect may not be as black and white as we often believe. At what point does respecting one’s elder diminish the basic human right of the younglings? At what point does it intertwine with hypocrisy and insincerity? A recent story which was shared by Tonye Cole on Instagram gained an ample amount of buzz on social media because it hinged on our cultural…
Gary W. Lewandowski Jr., Monmouth University Is he or she the one? You know… the one to introduce to my parents, the one to move in with, the one to start a family with, the one to marry?

My Darling Daughter, In life, you are not going to be everyone’s favourite and you won’t be able to get everyone to like you or to treat you the way you want to be treated. This is a given.

Ronald Labonte, University of Ottawa; Fastone Goma, University of Zambia; Jeffrey Drope, Marquette University, and Raphael Lencucha, McGill University Tobacco companies are zeroing in on one of the last global markets still ripe for exploitation: the African continent. Much of the tobacco leaf and some of the manufactured cigarettes produced on the continent are exported. These exports earn the foreign currency that’s attractive to the finance ministries of tobacco producing countries. But increasing amounts of the continent’s tobacco outputs remain in Africa, with tobacco companies taking advantage of countries with weak tobacco control measures and comparatively low consumption rates that…
It is very likely that this is not the first time you are hearing about ‘Libra’ and if this is your first time, this is a good opportunity to add it to the list of trends on your radar.
