I decided to write a little piece on leadership and its proper administration. I have met many leaders, been a leader and am now focusing on leadership in my studies which gives me a platform to speak from, though I am hardly an expert. I think as with everything else you need to hone your… Continue reading Leadership: Fear vs Love
Darwish Channels Dussel
This was a fun post, another chance to bring one of my new found hero’s, Enrique Dussel ,to the world of today’s journalistic fight against evil.

Parting Shots Fall 2024
I have enjoyed focusing on media ethics, or the lack thereof this fall. These assignments became a passion rather than an assignment broadening my understanding and perspective, it will help me wherever I go in the future. An ethical framework for media is indispensable in today’s world, this only exists in a vacuum. We are… Continue reading Parting Shots Fall 2024
Would Dussel ❤️ SM?
Once again I will begin a post praising Enrique Dussel , happily this one brings my adoration in contact with another great fondness I have, Social Media.

There’s No Candy with this Kane

The conversation was illuminating and helped me bring my opinions to the 21st century. I had looked with envy at Gen Z as growing up entitled with AI, the internet, Virtual… Continue reading Crossing Faulty Lines
To Manchin or Manichean
I am totally flabbergasted that I had not heard the word that covers the United States policy of always having an enemy to justify its expansion of Exceptionalism initially in its conquest of America and now throughout the world. This policy of invoking ‘Good Versus Evil’ has been used to show just cause ‘for US… Continue reading To Manchin or Manichean

The freedoms of press and speech are cornerstones of any democratic society, serving as catalysts for accountability and change. In the United States, the First Amendment of the Constitution explicitly safeguards these liberties: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,… Continue reading Russia, The US and The Assault on Free Speech
