Really?

The social media plot thickens

In my return, I discuss what I learn about social media and forms of online communication. I bring comments from Andrew Tate and other people as well as their thoughts on how they perceive social media and what it has become.

Coming out to school kids and thinking about what we should teach

I reflect on my absence but also bring up some news I heard over the past week about a teacher coming out to his students and using the time that he should be teaching to answer questions in regards to his sexuality also discussing what schools are attempting to teach to their kids.

Different cultures, more fun. From grocery stores to a country with 2 separate legal systems?

Once again, reflecting on my roots and experiences. I talk about how simple everyday things like going to the grocery store in the Netherlands can be so different compared to in Malaysia and I progress to talk about the different legal systems in Malaysia and how different races can be viewed and treated that may be odd for people who have not had experiences in other countries or in Malaysia.

The construct of marriage

We dive into the construct of marriage and ask what makes it such a core value of society and why is it a must to achieve happiness in life...to some. Some personal experiences with marriages from different cultures. Posing the question of why it's such an important aspect outside the scope of religion.

Different cultures, let's explore schools and weddings in Malaysia

A quick dive into my experiences in Malaysia in regards to marriages and the schooling system. I touch on my experiences with caning in school and how the schools run as compared to western countries and the cool cultural ways of getting married in Malaysia from a Chinese household.

Free speech! As long as you don't say...

Another box of society. We discuss the unwritten rules of free speech that not many people mention. We may be able to say "anything" yet again, there are many things we aren't allowed to say because it may be offensive or rude and so on. As free speech goes on, ironically the more and less we can say at the same time.

New norms of extreme views

As things progress, there are many people with more and more variable views and it is interesting to see however, like many things, some views get more and more extreme on both ends of the spectrum. Mainly the reflection of the American political system.

Feeling and fact, let's critically think

What does it mean to critically think? I say that a lot but let's look behind that. We have fact over feeling and seeing which justification is fair. It's almost impossible to please everyone all the time, but we try our best to be fair. It's a good insight to see what exactly gauges as fair.

Let's just cancel everything!

Everything's being cancelled everywhere you go! From pancakes to Dr. Suess to celebrities tweets from 20 years ago, what's next and what's exactly "right" here. It's getting harder and harder to tell so let's break it down a little bit.

The sin of my shoulder

The latest news in a Japanese school banning ponytails for exciting boys after a student complains. How progressively unprogressive we're being. First it was shoulders and now is necks, who knows what's next. Let's understand why and look into the age old argument of boys will be boys. Should women be covering up or should men learn to control themselves.
