Music and Poetry

    Writing music and songs is a way to liberate the soul in hopes that others will listen to your meaning and opinions.  Some people might agree and some won’t but like poetry, people derive their own interpretation.  Why does every song, poem, or opinion have to be something that everybody agrees upon or is considered good?  Is not artistic freedom the ability to express all concerns and fears that people or institutions should not have control over? 

Photgraphy and Art

     By photographing things, people, and places in our lives in a more artful way, we can see their beauty which we often take for granted and disregard. 

Globalization of Health

     Smoking laws are enforced and followed in western developed countries but minimally exist in developing countries such as India.  Many restauraunts, public places, and even workplaces in India allow smoking which can lead to various types of of respiratory problems such as COPD to the smoker, as well to others due to second hand smoke.  We have witnessed globalization in developing countries such the growth of MNCs and fast food restaurants but not the laws that protect people as they do in developed countries.  Health and environmental damages can be seen in many developing countries such as India since once again as in imperialistic times, people and the evironment are being exploited for profits and real improvements are not occuring.
