Given an option between betrayal and her children, she grins with hatred. Not to show dilemma, but to express pity to those who dare question her decision making. No matter how close to home they stand. It is with authority and an invasion of personal space that she re-affirms a recurrence if she is ever on the stand again. Is it because I said it out loud? That now I quiver in fear of what I cannot fulfil. Is it the resilience of her will and determination to string together a family miles apart? Is it her ability to command and take charge? Is it her ability to disarm with words? Is it her ability to disarm without words? She knows him quite well. A familiar glare that mimics one from her children.

In dissecting the tiny-desk conversation between Giovanni and Baldwin, one truth emerges with resounding clarity: a black/African writer bears a profound responsibility. While societal hypes claw for attention, demanding allegiance to fleeting causes, an African writer must rise above, reclaiming their voice as a tool of liberation and revolution. (Giovanni’s) call to curate words with intention and (Baldwin’s) stringent defiance against distractions form a dual mandate: to nurture authenticity and foster a love for the black existence that transcends generations. The writer, then, becomes both a historian and visionary—a force to remind future generations of their inherent value, untainted by the distortions of societal trends.

The authors question the application of “culturally competent practice” exclusively towards First Nations Australians (Indigenous People) and non-Western groups, arguing that this reinforces a binary of “self” (Western) and “other” (non-Western). They critique the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) Code of Ethics for prioritizing “technical and juridical imperatives” rooted in Western liberalism over a nuanced understanding of cultural dynamics. The article highlights a tension within the Code of Ethics between the value of “respect for persons” and the responsibility of “culturally competent, safe and sensitive practice.” By emphasizing the “other,” the authors argue that the Code of Ethics might inadvertently…
It is therefore no surprise that the intent of these outside engagements is in its entirety consciously tarnished or corrupt. That true safety guardrails adopted to ensure unstirred navigation of personas-true-to-themselves and encourage the existence of harmonious states must acknowledge the quiddity of personas with broken moral codes. Only through acknowledgement and acceptance that at times your veritable self shall go to war against aggressive corruptibles will victory be the desired outcome. More so, battling infatuations and dissonant promissory gains marks the establishment of a true defense in depth mechanism that not only lays the proper foundations for growth but…

A flower unaltered, reacts to no shame
A flower uncarved, ripostes the same
Divorce contributory factors, such as repetitive indulgence in criminal activities or problems with law enforcement, can be tied down to genetics. Satashree, 2020, argues that the existence of the crime gene implies that genetic predisposition toward specific behaviors can play a part in criminal behavior.
In this piece we see a French society that is experiencing a cultural awe. Despite being a warfront for numerous societal fights for change, expansion, and belated upgrades, the French comes forth as unprepared and unconscious of the need for and importance of an inclusive and accommodating environment. We see a system that lacks time and again, with an intentionally derailed march-of-progressive inclusivity.
