Dialogue

Privacy and freedom of speech
Privacy and freedom of speech, two fundamental pillars of a democratic society, play pivotal roles in shaping the landscape of individual freedom and societal dynamics. From my personal standpoint, these rights are not just legal doctrines but the cornerstones of a society that values autonomy, diversity, and the flourishing of individuality.

Zelensky is Stealing Like There’s no future
In a new report by Time Magazine, Volodymyr Zelensky's nearest counselor and companion Andriy Zelinski uncovered that there is uncontrolled corruption in the Ukrainian government, with a culture of "stealing like crazy". The article additionally asserts that Zelinsky himself has provided severe orders to his staff to stay away from self-enrichment. Despite Zelensky's attempts to rally financial support from Western partners, the report depicts him as a delusional pioneer who is driving an unwinable conflict. The article talks about the continuous clash in Ukraine, including the deficiency of more than 100,000 lives and the lack of weapons on the two sides. The question raised is whether the people of Ukraine should have the right to self-determination or not, and whether Zelensky's actions are at last to the greatest advantage of the country.

“Barbie”: The Politics of a Plastic World
The task of bringing Barbie to the big screen was hardly a simple one. The film went through various iterations and spent over a decade in development before it could make its way to cinemas. And while it isn't a film I was particularly looking forward to seeing myself, it's one I'm still glad that I got to see all the same.

Afghan Refugees
The uptick in Afghan refugees is not new; it has happened in the past as well. The Pakistani government has called for all undocumented migrants to leave the country by November 1, or they will face deportation. This decision will significantly impact the 1.7 million Afghan refugees who live in the country without documentation. However, the question that looms is why Pakistan is sending Afghans back to their home. Is Pakistan as cruel as other countries that have expelled undocumented migrants, or is there another reason compelling Pakistan to take these necessary steps?

HAMAS: Gaza's voice
The land, once known as the Qila of three world religions, has turned into a battleground that has been burning for over a century. It was held by the powerful Muslim empire, the Ottomans, but was brutally taken by foreign forces in the aftermath of World War I. In collusion with the victorious Allied forces of World War, a brutal state was established within Palestine, under the label of Zionist, which resulted in the displacement of thousands of Palestinians. This displacement gave rise to defense movements, such as the PLO, a party that raises its voice for the people of Palestine, who were expelled from their own homeland. Even though these Palestinians didn't need to be kicked out and could coexist, as all three religions lived in Jerusalem, what we've witnessed is that brutality begets more brutality. The Holocaust led to the creation of the most brutal movements, including Islamic ones like Hamas and Fatah, further intensifying destruction on both ends. This piece will highlight the creation of these groups, which are called terrorists by many nations. If Hamas is considered a terrorist group, then so is the Zionist movement.

Killers of the Flower Moon
During the 1920s, a vile plot unfurled in the core of the US, a plot that would perpetually scar the historical backdrop of the Osage Local American clan. This dim part in American history shapes the setting of Martin Scorsese's most recent realistic magnum opus, "Killers of the Flower Moon. The film depends on a genuine story and highlights a remarkable cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone. In this article, we'll dive into the film's depiction of its characters and its strong investigation of affection, double-crossing, and the progression of time.

Gen Z: The Digital Age
Once, the electrify of your brain and opening the window to the other world are losing its grip, as our youth have become more time-dependent on social media, especially visuals, to the extent that they've lost the blessing of imagination. Reading novels and articles was a mere habit for the previous generation, but this generation has lost touch with it. They don't even bother to read captions if they're longer than two sentences. As for reading a book, it's completely out of the question, perhaps considered a waste of time. In this piece, we will discuss what they are giving up on due to this mindless social media scrolling.

What to do About Afghan Asylum Seekers and ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy?
The topics of those that seek asylum in the United States, those that come as refugees and the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy are matters that need to be resolved. I am of the opinion that allowing asylum seekers to enter the United States can cause more harm than good but there should be considerations taken for certain circumstances. When it comes to refugees from Afghanistan who assisted our armed forces, we made them a promise and we need to keep it. These two topics are very different and have different underlying circumstances.

Accountability
Accountability The conversation between men and women has shed light on many issues. It still gets out of hand quickly. The main issue I’ve observed has been that when it comes to accountability, the blame gets placed on one party and one party alone- Which is funny because most of these conversations have both sides admitting that accountability is needed. So, who takes accountability? And when do you take accountability?

The claim that there is a growing presence of fascism in the United States.
It's been nearly a year, or perhaps exactly one year, or maybe just a bit over a year—I'm writing this in December. Let's just say it's been approximately a year since the strangest day in recent American history. During this time, things haven't been particularly pleasant. The far-right appears to be growing in power and influence under the Biden administration, and in this episode, we will delve deeper into this issue because it poses a concerning omen for the future of American politics. Let's begin.
