Those who dare not to care


Everyone has their own problems. Some are petty though real while others are of grave concerns. When basic human needs are met with challenge then the individual’s problems spill over into their community, culture and society. Thus it becomes a problem for the village.

Writing for the SF Examiner in Media Literacy and Anthropology with intent to contribute in Parenthood and Consumer Relations, is a joy. Although it is a pleasure to write daily while pursuing screenwriting, it certainly requires great effort. Working from home offers the opportunity to be a stay-at-home single mom for two young children thus enabling a strong supportive upbringing. The flexible schedule allows parenting to happen as need be. It seems like a perfect situation.

For working single mothers receiving public assistance it’s like a set up for failure. Without a bank account or credit card Examiner.com won’t accommodate wages by sending a check. Without family or support from friends, which suggests how people get into poverty in the first place, this family may suffer albeit the talents, skills and passion to be a success. Having been a victim to scam artists, con artists, straight out rapists, and criminals alike it’s no wonder poverty becomes a vicious cycle; a culture of challenges that bestow little light to meet basic human needs to survive.

If you dare to care please email info@examiner.com and request to accommodate writers who are passionate about their subject and willing to do what’s required to make things work.
