In this episode of the podcast we discuss the value of affirmative action in America. There's two ways to look at this circumstance one from education and two from the workplace. The original purpose of affirmative action was to even out the playing field for poorer and minority communities, but overall this situation went too far and it's not offering the solutions it promised. We go over potential alternatives to affirmative action to potentially help out these communities moving forward.

Welcome to today's episode of Purple Political Breakdown! In this thought-provoking installment, we delve into the pressing issue of the Political Divide in America. Join us as we explore how politics and values have seemingly vanished from the American landscape, leaving behind a toxic environment where individuals are fiercely divided in their political beliefs.
The animosity between the two sides has reached alarming levels, posing significant threats to the overall well-being of the nation. However, we believe that there is hope for change. Throughout this episode, we will examine three key levels where we can begin to address and heal these problems: the familial level, the education level, and the social media level.
Firstly, we delve into the familial level, recognizing the fundamental influence families have on shaping political beliefs and values. We explore strategies for fostering healthy and respectful discussions within families, promoting understanding, empathy, and open-mindedness.
Moving on, we shift our focus to the education level. Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the minds of the future generation. We discuss the importance of teaching critical thinking skills, media literacy, and fostering diverse perspectives within educational institutions. By equipping students with the necessary tools to engage in nuanced political discourse, we aim to bridge the political divide and promote a more unified society.
Finally, we delve into the impact of social media on political discourse. Social media platforms have become a breeding ground for polarization and echo chambers. We explore strategies to foster a healthier online environment, including promoting civil discourse, fact-checking, and encouraging the exploration of opposing viewpoints.
By examining these three crucial levels – familial, education, and social media – we aim to provide insights and solutions to start healing the deep divisions within America. It is through gaining a nuanced understanding of these factors that we can strive towards a more united and harmonious country.
Join us on this transformative journey as we explore ways to remedy the political divide and foster a healthier, more inclusive political discourse. Together, let's work towards a brighter future for America.

Social Media for Kids Social media has become a significant part of our lives, but at what age should children be introduced to it? Introducing kids to social media at too early an age can indeed expose them to harmful content, cyberbullying, and privacy concerns. As a result, it's essential for parents to take the lead in determining when and how children should be introduced to social media platforms. During the discussion with Radell Lewis, both the host and Jonathan Kutz agree that children should not have access to social media accounts. They emphasize the importance of parental involvement and guidance when deciding on the right time for children to enter the world of social media while ensuring that they can have an enriching and safe experience.
Reading Materials for Kids Encouraging children to read books is important for their intellectual development, but selecting age-appropriate content can be a challenge. Classic adventure and mystery novels can be excellent for cultivating a child's imagination and critical thinking skills, while graphic or erotic novels should be avoided. In the conversation, Radell and Jonathan encourage children to read widely but selectively. Although both speakers agree that graphic novels may not be suitable for young readers, they also acknowledge the immense benefits that storytelling can offer in fostering imagination and critical thinking.

In this article we are going to talk about the tough conversation about the trans identity. What is meant by “the trans identity”? It means any gender identity that cannot be assigned to a male or female gender. This includes transgenders and transsexuals who feel they are not in the right body, transracial people who identify with a race they are not born into and transabled people who feel they have disabilities even though they do not have any disability at all.
The very idea of this may sound absurd to you because it seems ridiculous to identify as something you are not. But if you could just put yourself in their shoes for a moment, you would understand why some people want to be considered as something else other than what they were born with.
In this episode I am willing to really dive into this topic and express potential solutions moving forward.
College is expensive. It's a lot of money to invest in an education that could be a waste of time.

The world is changing. Families are changing. And we're all trying to figure out how to make sense of it all.

Mythology, the stories that tell us who we are and how we got here, is at once a window into our past and a mirror for our present.
Our myths—whether they're about ancient gods or superheroes, or whether they're about the people who came before us and the things they lived through—are an important part of our collective cultural identity. They can tell us not just who we've been in the past, but also where we might be going as a society.
But what is the value of mythology? And how can it help us understand our own beliefs and values today?
