The Little Blue Uniform That Could
Policophobia is sometimes referred to as astynomiaphobia, a sixty seven year old word derived from the Greek word meaning police fear, coined in the early 1940s by Dr. Eryx Petalas, a Greek psychologist. His conclusion was that there are people who irrationally or rationally fear police officers, but his colleagues rejected this idea. The term policophobia is not really a scientific term, but it is the more common term used now by doctors, and research is still being done by psychiatrists/psychologists to further evaluate this phobia.

It's Not Easy Being Green
The topics of climate change and environmental issues have been prevalent in political debates and all over the media. As we may or may not know, our ecosystem is at risk and many factors contribute to this international problem. Some may neglect to address this, but if this is such a global crisis, why aren’t people doing their part in helping to sustain the condition of living for future generations? Are we just apathetic about the place we live and breathe in? Probably not.

The Price of Democracy
The sound of the helicopters hovering over them is distinct and alarming. One man yells out, “It’s raining!” and Abbot responds, “No, it’s not raining, it’s something else!” The moist droplets felt like water on his skin, but the night sky hid their color. Momentarily, all of the men shared the same excruciating sting on their bodies, targeting their underarms and groin areas.

Sexploitation
“We have a direct correlation with them and can communicate with them. They are mostly low-income families and there is a language barrier between the parents and children. These communities, I think, are a lot more vulnerable to being targeted and their children are being recruited.”

Mystic Journeys
As I get older, I have begun to notice that my generation is inactive in the Iu Mien community, and I realize that our culture is at risk of becoming extinct. As traditions have gradually diminished, I witness my family’s separation, as with many other Iu Mien families in America, from our religious background. My father is the only one in my family who still practices the ancient Iu Mien religion.
