Queen Jacqueline from EEYO celebrates IYD by celebrating young women. She talks to Lynden about how important it is to celebrate women everyday although Lynden articulates how he feels women have a sense privilege which later affects them when it comes to solving real issues. Women are now comfortable with the handouts they are now getting and have forgotten the value of hard work.
As we celebrate IYD Abisha talks about how the youth are not exposed to the practical side of life. He notes that youths are learned but are however not adequately exposed and thus fail to make their ideas practical. The only way for young people to be involved is to be on the for front of discourse and be action oriented than just being idealistic thinkers.

Welcome to yet another exciting episode of The Uncommon Sense! This episode's conversation was a glare into the minds of teenagers and young adults through our two guests Sisa and Gretwit to find our what they knew and understood about safe sex and contraception. To our realization, there is a lot of half baked knowledge that roams around in our young minds and this is the major cause of the alarming rates of new sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies among the youth. The real questions we asked were to find the point at which the channels of information run dry before evoking an adequate level of sexual consciousness among young people from the ages 13-21 who are undoubtedly engaging in sexual activity. We also spoke about different sources of negative societal pressure and disbarred a common stereotype.

Most Humans embark on illegal alternatives, we see them commit crime almost each and everyday.A man would resort into murder to solve his problems than any other means. The bigger question is why? Using the irony behind Herbert Chitepo Street in Bulawayo, this Podcast (which is the foundation) indirectly talks about our current crisis in the society, and how important the street is reflecting that.
NOTE The episode will continue next week on Herbet Chitepo' s dreams and ideas about Zimbabwe compared to what is happening in Herbet Chitepo street.
DISCLAIMER Information in this Show does not reflect my personal beliefs. The terminology and information was used for the sake of understanding my idea.
'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree' I believe this adage doesn't fall too far from reality, and to a very significant extent, the character, behavior and beliefs of a '2000' is product of the 90's and 80's society that raised us.
Unfortunately it may seem that over us, a rigid identity had been thrust before we had even reached the stage of true self realisation. So we sat in studio joined by two minds of different schools of thought which sparked an interesting debate on the extent at which the older members of our society influence the younger generation's decisions and lifestyles both directly and indirectly. Our conversation ran across to critique the primary sources of influence such as close relatives, to much wider sources of influence that hover over us like systems of socio-economic and political governance.
Are both the younger and older aware of the diffusion of influence or do they believe they develop at parallels? Will the cycle ever end?
