If you know me in real life, I am generally a very mellow person; I don't get riled up too easily. And quite honestly, I don't feel too strongly about anything at this current stage of my life, though there are a few topics for which I'll be like, "hey, that's not right" or "YES, I AM SO ON BOARD WITH THAT!". Those include:
- global warming: yes, global warming is real. Or, come back to me after that category 7 hurricane rips through your house after you rebuilt it last year after it got torn through by a category 7 hurricane.
- de-funding science: don't. de-fund. science. Unless you want to live this way forever until our non-renewable resources run out, or everyone you know is dying from some viral infection for which the cure could have been found decades earlier, or Earth gets hit by an asteroid that wipes out all humans and could have been detected before if you didn't de-fund science.
- same-sex marriage: why. Why would you deny someone from marrying someone they love when it doesn't have anything to do with you?
- gender equality: I've grown up with my mom telling me that "men will always have an advantage over women." Not for all of my lifetime, mom.
- music and arts in schools: kids need these programs. Not just to stay off the streets or keep kids in school, but it gives students an alternative means of expression, a new hobby, or a really unique skill that may not be so handy to them in the working world; but it also teaches them valuable skills and traits like discipline, teamwork or independence (depending on which art form), creativity, and time management.
I guess I just really need to find something I'm more passionate about and really keep up to date with it, but there are just so many topics and issues that I try to stay sensitive to, that it's overwhelming to keep up with all of them!
