Inability to address gun violence

After a teen gunman massacred 17 people at a Florida high school on Feb. 14, the Trump administration set up the Federal Commission on School Safety. It was an appropriate response to a deeply concerning issue: the increasing number of terrifying shootings at schools across America.

Journey to Baekje

I recently took a trip to the ancient Baekje Kingdom (18 BCE-660 CE). What a trip it was! No, I didn't do time travel in the sci-fi sense. But it was a trip back in time _ 2,000 years. I covered about 600 years in just a few days.

New model of human security

It is becoming increasingly clear that globalization progresses not steadily, but through ups and downs. Currently, it appears to be in a downswing, hindered by a growing number of irresponsible political leaders who describe it as the root of all evil.

Risks of President Trump's Space Force

Before you get excited, this editorial about U.S. military endeavors in space will not describe how you can join the Rebel Alliance. It will not detail an imminent jump to hyperspace for bold American pilots, or a new base for Starfleet outside Ronkonkoma.
