The Source of Corruption
Even the government supports this kind of relativist thinking. Americans say that this is a free country and they are “free” to say and do what they please. Our founding fathers didn’t mean that all people should hold whatever view they please and encourage others to follow their own version of “freedom”. We have twisted the word “Freedom” so much; in America, we now think it’s good and legal to do whatever you think is right.
Narcissistic, don’t you think?
The other day I went to go see a movie that was recently released in theaters. It was called “Gamer”. What I saw was definitely not what I expected. The movie had so many unnecessary, disgusting, vulgar scenes that I left in the middle of the movie and asked for my money back.That’s not the kind of thing I was expecting out of a so-called action movie.
Is this the kind of thing people are interested in now? How far has America gone down the drain? People should not be in a position of power if they have some sort of a stand on ethical or moral issues like gays.The people in power should not impose their views to the public. Instead, he/she should decide based on the facts. Sadly, to the public, the people in power decide what’s right and what’s not. How can we trust a person in power if he supports whatever the masses want? How do we know what he thinks is right?
People need a leader, not a follower.
Ultimately, people like what they think is popular and people will do anything to justify their support.The question is: how far will we go until we learn the difference between an idea thats twisted, and an idea thats not?
What is right and wrong is not based on popular opinion, but on the truth of solid facts.
About Us
They tell us we're the future. Tomorrow, we will be politicians, lawyers, doctors, authors, journalists, artists, and CEO's. We have ideas, opinions, and solutions, and thanks to the invention of the internet, expression is at our fingertips. Our goal? To create a community where our ideas and opinions can grow. Our venue? Verivex Online, a magazine written by youth, for youth. Our content? Politics, history, business, economics, science, religion, art, literature. We are tomorrow's leaders. We are today's thinkers. We are Verivex.
Our world is continually preoccupied with the glamorous and the shocking. From tabloids to politics, these headliners capture the minds and hearts of the audience. But in reality, these scandals and political headwinds cover so little of actual life.
When covering these "day-by-day" events, the papers fail to address the issues that really matter, that have a lasting impact. As young people, our world is saturated with the big headlines, but the real issues - from third-world poverty to education - rarely make the news at all. We aim to change that.
In a world constantly bombarded with "the latest", what is often ignored is what remains. At Verivex, we hope to challenge each and every person, especially the youth, to be inspired to do something, to bring hope to the hopeless. We have the ideas. We have the challenge. And we can come up with the solution.
