Incredibly compelling

» That Columbus discovered American in 1492 is one of the first things American children are taught in school, if not earlier. Discovered is the operative term. More than a few anthropologists note that as Native Americans lived in North, Central and South America, they would have been living there for centuries before Columbus even set foot on Santo Domingo. There is also reason to believe that America had pre-Columbian visitors — the Vikings on the Atlantic coast and the Chinese on the Pacific coast. And hadn't the Aztecs spoken of white men in ships in their forefathers' day? Evidence is persuasive, but not conclusive of those comings and goings.

Is the media to blame?
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 20/12/2021
» Can you separate fantasy from reality? A lot of people know that the media has a desensitising effect on people, especially children and teens. Whether it's movies, music or video games, the effect of viewing violence can lead to aggression. Personally, these stories have never been a direct issue with me. When I was younger I always wondered why people wouldn't be able to tell which story should stay in a movie or in our imagination, and which is reality. However, we still see more and more news of violence and regular crimes, which is a direct consequence of watching movies and various media.
