Post-Grad Life as a Burnt-Out, 22-Year-Old Girl

259 days. That is how long it has been since I walked the stage of my alma mater with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and emerging media, and a minor in sociology. Post-grad is different for everyone. Some take time off from school to travel, while others go straight into a graduate program. Then there’s the select few who were able to grab a job straight out of college. Now you might be wondering, which one am I? Trick question! I am none of the above.


Unlike some of my peers, I was not sa...

The Perspective: A Website That Opens Minds

When you’re in a dilemma and you have to make an ethical decision there are a few steps and questions you have to ask yourself.


While each step is vital to the process, the most important part, in my opinion, of making an ethical decision is assessing both perspectives. There are always two sides of every story, and when you need to make the best decision for everyone involved you need to know all the facts. In a conflict between two people, it is easier to hear both sides, because you simpl...

Trading Organs For a Reduced Sentenced: What Are the Ethical Concerns?

In Massachusetts a bill allowing inmates to donate organs and bone marrow in exchange for reducing their sentence has been proposed by legislators. The bill would provide “not more than 365-day reduction” in their sentence for any inmate that participates. To no surprise this caused an uproar in the media.

TikTok and Privacy: Should People Be Allowed to Record Others Without Their Consent?

The Virginia Law of Obscenity: Is It Unconstitutional?

Obscenity is the “legal concept used to characterize certain material as offensive to the public sense of decency.” This can be a very subjective concept, because what I see as offensive may not be what you or someone else sees as offensive. Therefore, you may be wondering how does the courts decide what is obscene and what is not? The Miller Test is a legal test that was constructed after the U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Miller v. California (1973) and it is used to determine what is obscene...

Social Media vs. Freedom of Speech: When Does Censoring Go Too Far?

With the rise of social media over the past decade, online censorship has become a complication. While many may argue that they have “freedom of speech” and should be allowed to say whatever they want on social media it doesn’t work that way.

This allows the companies to be allowed to create rules and guidelines that censor what is allowed on their platform. These rules and guidelines are the same on...
