Father’s Day – Identity

Posted by Hipolito | Jun 20, 2016 | Culture, Social, Society |

By Hipolito Navarrete, Managing Editor/Publisher Father’s Day…. How do you celebrate it? Who do you celebrate? Unlike mother’s day, this day is a bit more complicated. Less than 50% of children live with two married parents in their first marriage, so this makes it a bit complicated for the rest. As we celebrate the other half of our identity. What makes a father? We all want to say that its beyond DNA, but if that step father that you love so much somehow ends up divorcing your mother, it will more than likely the end of that relationship. ...

By Hipolito Navarrete, Managing Editor/Publisher So, how do we start this conversation? I will start by addressing my very specific community of Mexican men. How are you preparing your children, especially your young men to be compassionate? Are you showing respect to your partner; female or male?

By Hipolito Navarrete, Managing Editor/Publisher There is no rational explanation why a man would kill his fellow humans, other than pure hate for others and himself.

By Hipolito Navarrete, Managing Editor/Publisher Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration perpetrated against a person without that person’s consent. So how is it that a well-educated man decides that it is not to the benefit of the rapist to make him accountable for his violence so as to make sure this does not destroy his future? Where was the question of the well-being of the unconscious woman considered? Why are there so many men making a case for the rapist, and in some cases by women? We can...

Posted by Hipolito | May 23, 2016 | Art, Culture, Education, Government, Skill Development |

By Hipolito Navarrete, Managing Editor/Publisher “Have a sit quietly, open your books and read the next several pages. Any one has any questions? Please raise your hands and do not talk out of turn.” This is what our children hear every day when they go to class. This may seem like an opening salvo to our schools, but its not. Go ahead and gather 30 children from the ages of 5 years old or 18 year olds in a room and try to teach them anything. If you are not properly prepared, this will be a momentous task. With...
