Eating habits, saving money and our ability to regulate emotions. Regardless of the category, the way our parents raise us have a massive impact on the people we one day become. Unfortunately, not all parents are great at raising their children, this often times leads to addictive behaviours, the inability to control emotions etc. Today we discuss the minimum required criteria that should be met by a person before having a child. We also discuss the plausibility of having set regulations put in place to restrict people who are deemed "incapable" from having kids. Enjoy!

We all have people in our lives that care too much about the clothes they wear, the cars they drive and the amount of money they have in their bank accounts. Consumerism/ Materialism has negatively impacted our everyday society due to the pressure of presenting yourself as "wealthy".

Today we talk about materialism and how it can effect gift giving, especially during the holiday season.

Our world is more connected than it has ever been. For the first time in history, we are able to communicate with one another on an international level within seconds.

Today we talk about positive and negative outcomes of media/social media. In addition, we discuss how we should be giving to the less fortunate out of good morale not because we may receive media attention.

What is addiction? Often times we relate addiction to something negative, however, this may not always be the case. Sometimes the “thing” that an individual is addicted can be positive (i.e. an activity that we generally deem positive as a society) . An example of this is exercise addiction; would this still be considered “negative”? Today we attempt to define the term addiction, while moving through a variety of possible scenarios and outcomes associated with being addicted to a substance or activity.
