Domestic Violence - A Global Issue

Domestic violence is a global phenomenon which has, for decades, been a scourge in society. However, the fact that it has been in existence for ages can never make it acceptable. Instead, it places a greater responsibility on modern society to find new approaches to deal with the problem so that it can be eradicated or at the very least, significantly decreased.

Funerals - Highly Social Events

From being mou ful occasions funerals have evolved into highly social events. When I grew up in the sixties and seventies anything associated with death was dreaded and dreadful. Today, a person no longer dies; he passes on and families no longer mou the death of loved ones. Instead, they celebrate the life of the one who has passed on. Funerals are no longer mou ful and solemn occasions and people attending the ceremonies are now encouraged to be joyful. How things have changed!

Tropical Storm Erika - An Opportunity to Lea

On 27th August 2015, Tropical Storm Erika struck the island of Dominica causing major changes to the physical landscape and social make-up of the country. Angry storm waters and huge landslides ravaged homes and property and caused severe devastation to the country’s infrastructure. Social media was rife with images of the destruction and this evoked a spontaneous and overwhelming response from the international community.

Parenting : Today's Fathers

Are fathers playing a greater role in parenting today? Today’s fathers appear to be playing a more active role in parenting than their predecessors. Traditionally, in my culture, raising the child has been viewed as the responsibility of the mother. The father’s role was more in the domain of provider, supporter and disciplinarian. Hence, the father would provide the needs of the family, support the mother in decisions with respect to the welfare of the children and administer punishment when necessary.

Tropical Storm Erika - Nature Turned Against the Nature Isle

I am from the island of Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean. One of the first things that every Dominican child learns is that we have 365 rivers; one for every day of the year. This has always been one of our richest blessings. We speak proudly of our rivers in poems, songs and travel magazines and to every stranger that we meet for we know that God has blessed our country like no other with these glorious bodies of abundant, fresh, clean water originating from the pristine, green mountains.

The Responsibility of Children towards Elderly and Ailing Parents

It is, without a doubt, the duty of parents to look after their children; likewise, it is the responsibility of adult offspring to look after their aged or ailing parents. Some elderly parents are financially able or even affluent and are actually in a position to assist their adult offspring while there are many who are dependent on their offspring for their daily needs. Even more important; however, is the need of elderly and/or ailing parents for love and care befitting of their age and years of service to family and society.
