Contraception
OPINION

Letter to the editor: God bless contraception

An Op-Ed published in The Daily Cardinal titled “The social impact of contraception” claimed the increased use of contraception has had a “devastating impact on our families, relationships and our society.” The author, Ben Miller, cites Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae, an encyclical published in 1968 that predicted an increase in infidelity, objectification of women, overreach and corruption by public authorities, and immoral attempts by humankind to control their bodies if contraception use became widespread.


In politics, an elephant represents the Republican party and a donkey represents the Democratic party.

The most important side of politics: the personal

Following the Iowa caucus Feb. 1, tensions within both parties have already begun to peak. While we wait for the voting to resume once again in New Hampshire on Tuesday, debates between everyday Americans as to which candidate is the proper one for their respective parties have already turned heated. Most everyone (notice I said most) has some political view, and has been involved in at least one conversation about politics over the last few days or weeks.

OPINION

Corporal punishment is an outdated form of discipline

I sometimes see the news headlines where cases of corporal punishment have turned out to be outright violence and abuse. I don’t think I am so distant from this issue as I grew up in a time and place where such punishment was an acceptable form of discipline. Based on my personal experiences, I want to argue against it.

The importance of sleep should not be overlooked

Winter break is defined by Marisa Bernstein as a time when a college student returns to her parents’ house for an endless month of testing out every couch in the house and trying to convince friends to come over because of a personal lack of car, money, motivation and planning skills.


OPINION

Never stop learning

“I’m going to be in the library all weekend with the amount of homework I have.” “It’s not even funny how much reading I have to do tonight.” “There is no way I’m getting this all done tonight.” We’ve all been there.


The Academy awards are receiving backlash due to a lack in diversity. 
OPINION

The Academy Awards are White-Washed

For the second year in a row, minority and black members of film were massively underrepresented in the nominations, if not completely shut out. Out of the 20 actors and actresses nominated this year, every single one of them is white.

OPINION

McCarthyism is resurfacing in politics

As a country, we forget what Franklin Delano Roosevelt taught us: “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” People are falling prey to the nasty fearmongering tactics of politicians and are forgetting that fear is the enemy.
