The first consideration an individual must contemplate when facing community re-entry after incarceration is whether or not he or she genuinely wants a different path in life.
Changing your life path requires work, dedication and sacrifice. If an individual is unwilling to put forth the effort and work that is necessary to change his or her life path, then that person will probably find the exercise of trying to reenter mainstream society very frustrating.
People who do not genuinely want to embr

Since the founding of the United States, generations have been inculcated with the belief that capitalism is the only acceptable method of economic organization. Isn't it time for a radical change of thinking?
Critical analysts should have long recognized that the Unites States is a country steeped in cognitive dissonance. How else could the very Founding Fathers who were also holders of enslaved Africans write this in their Declaration of Independence from King Georg
I have offed and will continue to offered the Obama Administration a solution to American Gun Violence, and hope that President Obama develops the moral courage to respond to it. I question whether their is a serious commitment to addressing Gun Violence in America because politicians refuse to have a discussion with me about a solution to Gun Violence, while offering no viable alternative solutions.
President Obama gives great emotional speeches after each gun violence tragedy, but he has refuse
By John DuganForeskin is a hot topic of debate in the U.S. Some argue that circumcision is necessary for penis health; others assert that the procedure is barbaric and completely unnecessary. This debate tends to weigh heavily on uncut men, leading to anxieties and insecurities concerning their manhoods.
But some of the stigma around foreskin can be vanquished by learning the facts about the sheath. The following may help uncut men improve their body image.

Many Nigerians are puzzled by President Buhari and wonder what his #Change agenda really is. Someone has even gone as far as to say that “Most people are feeling conned, and it's only morning yet.” Luckily, Buhari’s First Hundred Days now belong to history. So historians can begin to examine it for clues to Buhari’s actual mission and agenda as president, and how he will go about implementing it. This essay is my contribution to that effort.
It is helpful to divide his actions into two groups:

Interestingly, after the Rothschild pronouncements on “Inclusive Capitalism,” a particular hero of mine, Robert Reich penned a piece entitled, “What Happened to the Moral Center of American Capitalism?”
I immediately began to wonder if this was the same Robert Reich who I came to admire during his tenure as secretary of labor, which coincided with my tenure in the US Congress.
I remember when Reich, as labor secretary, put forward the suggestion that it was high time

According to its website, Inclusive Capitalism, every corporation must be a citizen of the society in which it operates. This ensures long-term growth and company health. They even write that “inclusive capitalists” will not attempt to free-ride on services that others have paid for.
Inclusive Capitalism “is a global effort to restore capitalism as an engine of broadly shared prosperity." It claims to be an effort to improve environmental, social, and governance indi

Up until April 1982, the spirit and pride of West Indian youth in Britain had usually been best expressed through the immediacy of Reggae music and poetry, not through traditional literary forms, especially not the novel. It was refreshing to read a book that was full and wide in scope and spoke with an authentic voice of and for the Birmingham West Indian community; especially when the author was so young. This first ever Afro-British novel was published with a confidence that black people were

‘If you haven’t purchased and read BRITANNIA’S CHILDREN by Norman Samuda Smith, here are my reasons why you should…’
An anthology of short stories which together not only represents a time capsule of black British youth experiences between the 1960s and possibly the late 1970s, Britannia’s Children by Norman Samuda Smith (2013), is also an organic record of the
By Jupiter Punungwe | Personally I am non-spiritual. I do not believe in anything claimed to be supernatural.However a lot of people do. When they recount simple factual events, they often tag their beliefs along. As a result oral history in whatever form is often gathers are huge shrouded in myth and spirituality. It is not something unique to African culture.
Recently I have made it clear that I am proud of my African identity. To that end I have been discussing African people whose exploits ar

My name is Herman Wainggai, I’m from West Papua living here in the USA as an exiled former political prisoner. I’ve devoted most of my life trying to bring the issues of West Papua to the world through peaceful nonviolent means taught to me by my late uncle Dr. Thom Wainggai who championed ‘nonviolent struggle’ in West Papua against occupying power, Indonesia. He was arrested and charged with “subversion” and later died in jail

By Rony SneijderWriting is a powerful way to express the mind. It is a potent instrument of thought. Interesting to note in this context, a majority of people consider writing is an act of the hands. In fact, it is our mind that actually enables us to compose or write. Through the act of writing one reiterates one's ideas to one's audience. It proves to be an effective tool to initiate and engage members of the public in civic discourse. It is also helpful in developing social networks. Wri

Introduction
In September 2013, as public clamor intensified for a Sovereign National Conference, SNC, to resolve Nigeria’s multitude of problems, Junaid Mohammed, a Caliphate Colonialist militant, threatened civil war to prevent an SNC that could jettison the fraudulent 1999 Constitution: ‘Supporters of SNC a
There are many similarities and differences between the United States culture and the African culture. The idea of culture is complex because there are many variables in technology, language, masculine and feminine relational practices and beliefs, customs and traditions.

The United States culture has advanced new products and entertainment that encourages people to kno
