Our society thinks with its phone, eats with its phone, and sleeps with its phone. It is questionable if this generation of distracted-passive-learners have the discipline nor strength to save our future.

3. It's Not Just Women

Men get objectified too: seven feet tall, ten packs, great sense of humor--the checklist is insane. Whatever happened to embracing our imperfections?

4. The Lonely Culture of Individualism

We are brought up in a culture that focuses on the individual, everything is about just us that sometimes we are forced to think we have leave what we have behind to find our own way. But the strength in humanity lies in its unity. After all, we are all on the same journey.

5. Politics, Race, and Foreign Relations

There are many disparities and issues surfacing our nation today. Sadly, most of them are perpetuated by the self-interest of those who are in political power. So it goes.

6. We Fail at Relationships

Let's keep the mystery alive, please? Because that's one of the most beautiful things about relationships.
