COVID-19 drives isolationism
COVID-19 drives isolationism
COVID-19 has killed nearly 364,000 people globally as of May. The World Bank estimates that global gross domestic product in 2020 will record a 3 percent contraction, in what could be the worst economic recession since the Great Depression in the 1930s. The comparison to the Great Depression in terms of economic devastation is an attempt to draw some useful lessons from previ...

From riots to reform in America
From riots to reform in America
The wave of anger and indignation sweeping the United States in response to George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman exposes the myriad contradictions of American society.

Hong Kong pushed to the edge with passage of security law
Hong Kong pushed to the edge with passage of security law
President Donald Trump has found one reason after another to continue his tirade against China. The latest wave of verbal attacks came May 29 when Trump decided to retaliate against China, following the passage of a national security law by Beijing that fundamentally undermines Hong Kong's autonomy.

Are you tired of 'new normal'?
Are you tired of 'new normal'?
I don't know about you, but the next time I hear someone refer to the “new normal,” I think I might scream into my middle daughter's unacceptable new bikini bottoms that I plan to confiscate and turn into a coronavirus face mask.

Restore moral high ground
The alleged misappropriation of donations for the surviving victims of Japan's wartime sexual slavery is at the center of a scandal involving an activist-turned-lawmaker. If it proves to be true, she must be subject to stern punishment.

Coming together to save NPT right now
Coming together to save NPT right now
These days the world is consumed by worry and concern related to the global COVID-19 outbreak. In due time, one would wish to see a more encouraging outcome than the one recorded with relation to that other threat to human life and the security of nations which is nuclear weapons.

New morning in news
New morning in news
The New York Times made a quiet disclosure recently that speaks loudly about the state of news media today. Its newsletter, “The Morning,” has reached over 17 million circulation, which the paper says is one the largest daily audiences in any form of journalism across all platforms.

Learning to live with COVID-19
Learning to live with COVID-19
One of COVID-19's paradoxes has been the way in which some wealthy, high-capacity countries (particularly the United States and the United Kingdom) failed to contain the virus, while some poorer countries and regions with less capacity (including Vietnam, Greece, and the Indian state of Kerala) swiftly brought it under control. Now that countries must plan beyond their lockdo...

Looters and rioters trampling memory of George Floyd
Looters and rioters trampling memory of George Floyd
It has been suggested to me that as a white woman, I should back off when it comes to certain issues.
