A World We Dare To Imagine Part 1

As the world slowly emerge into one global village, I've had the privileges to be a part of several different cultures with different races of people. It had always been an interest of mine to learn from each unique group of people. We should always be thinking of others' perspective and treat each individuals with respect and keep an open mind toward anyone. Despite the color of the skin and the thickness of their wallet, human beings share this world together and we should try to help one and another.

The way to change the world starts with the small adjustment everyone makes and it will eventually leads to a new way of thinking. If we can see things through other's perspective then we may learn the hardship they have gone through and realize why the situation is as severe as today, then finally find a way to make the situation better. My first step would be encouraging all my friends to think before they place their judgments.

    I loved reading your post, so many people like to think about big ideas but it is nearly impossible for a single idea to change the world. Although it may seem small, I believe what you wrote about understand other people's point of view and respect can be significantly more impactful than any single initiative.

    I wrote about something similar for my first step. There is so much hate in the world for no reason. If people took the time to learn why other people think the way they do and learn why they have the perspective that they have, maybe we'd see everyone has more in common than originally thought. People seem to disagree on so many things, solely because they don't understand the other person's viewpoint. I think taking a second to try and understand before placing judgments would go a long way.

    I think you are on to something really important here, and I think Jason puts his finger on it in his comment. People seem to disagree a lot, but actually, if they would take the time to try to really understand what the other person is saying, it often turns out that their views aren't that different at all. They just didn't realize it because they were too busy talking over each other. Pursuing clarity in a conversation should be prioritized over "winning" the argument, and we must encourage the new generation to step away from identity politics and start treating each other as individuals. Maybe an idea for you could be to start an organization that promotes critical thinking and an understanding for others' viewpoints.

    It is so important to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes. Too often people only are concerned with their own problems, or get in arguments without considering the other side. Everyone should imagine all possible perspectives before they complain or argue. This is definitely an issue that can be helped through proper changes in the eduction system.

Pro Tips to a Better Festival Experience By Maren J. Lee Can you recall the excitement and overwhelming feeling right before a music festival? Well, I can still clearly remember my first festival. Not knowing what I signed up for, my friends persuaded me to purchase a last minute ticket and off I went to a 3 days festival at San Bernardino. As a festival virgin,  I did not know what to expect or what to bring to the event. All I had packed in my duffle  bag were three outfits and my toothbrush. Although I was extremely underprepared, I still fell in love with the beauty of festival. The beauty of escaping reality fascinated my imagination. I started to wonder if there are better ways to enjoy the festivities…   As festival becomes more popular among the millennials generation, more and more people are attending the festivity for the first time. This articles will provide a few ways to improve the overall experience through these three categories:  Pre...

Born on Third Base

Rebalance of the society's attribution goes hand in hand with the distribution of wealth. Chuck Collins made some excellent arguments about the transition of society's wealth to build a better and more equal world. Chuck's ideology required the wealthy to step up and make action to change the society. As part of the top 1%, when chuck received his inheritance at the age of 26, he decided to donate most of his possession and dedicated his time to work on the unequal problems. I really admire Chuck's dedication toward solving the problem. According to him, the world would not change for the better, if the riches wouldn't share their wealth with the society. I didn't finish the book, but I agree with all Chuck said in the book so far. This book may be the key to encourage the wealthy to support others and get involve with the transition.

As the NBA regular season comes to the end, I wonder if the Eastern Conference just as weak as the previous last 5 years? NBA superstar, LeBron James is not just getting better, but instead he is getting smarter. After 14 years in the league, LeBron is still at the top of his game, going back to the Finals 6 years in a roll. Every year around the playoff season, LeBron wakes up and transform into the machine that carries the team over any obstacle and find a way to win most series. As he is preparing for the 7th consecutive final appearances, the Eastern Conference seems to be weaker than ever.  The number one seed of the Eastern Conference, Toronto Raptors, may appear to be a strong candidates to play against the Cavs, yet any basketball fan would remember how the Raptors operate in playoff games, Choking.. The number two seeds, Boston Celtics, lost their starting shooting guard at the very beginning of the season due to a gruesome injury and they just lost the starting point g...
