Essays of Contemporary Conscience

This book is about a "new look at old ideas" in fifteen (15) essays. The essays deal with the governance in the USA and the work of the United Nations Organization (UN) and a few general topics such as "Democracy." It is about time that we examine the utility of some ideas we have since taken for granted. Improvement(s) can be achieved if we are prepared and willing to objectively review many of our current concepts and notions which, by our behavior as we relate to them, are treated as though they are carved in stone. It is not because the majority believes in an idea that this makes the idea true. The majority can and is usually wrong. Academic pursuits should not prevent one from living socially fruitful lives. An individual without culture is naught, but like a dry leaf, to be blown which ever way the wind chooses. Not every human form houses a human being. Things do not just happen; people make things happen. The writer hopes that this introductory book will generate open discussions about our usual and traditional concepts and notions.
