SINCE the 1960s, cultural secularization has increasingly influenced the lifestyle decisions of young Americans. Personal choices involving sexual activity and substance use, which in previous generations would have been condemned for religious and moral reasons, are now glorified as symbols of empowerment. From their preteen years on, young people are bombarded with messages from reality television, magazines and the Internet encouraging them to emulate the questionable behavior of role models like Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan.
Even for liberals, President Obama's tenure has proven a disappointment during the last three years. Obama's inability to effectively lead the nation out of the economic recession and "restore" the U.S. human rights record is particularly disappointing given the support he generated from liberal intellectual leaders in 2008. Instead of "change we can believe in" Obama delivered more of the same in politics, foreign policy and human rights.
WHAT HAPPENS when the government accuses a mother of murder? In State of Florida vs. Casey Marie Anthony, the charge transformed a sideshow into a sickening three-ring circus.
STUDENTS should consider putting down the credit card applications and picking up some information on Individual Retirement Accounts. Why do students need to begin thinking about retirement before their parents even stop paying for their meal plans? The answer is simple. Although students may not have much money, they possess more of one asset right now than they ever will enjoy again
CAN YOU save the U.S. economy by staying home and raising the children? Perhaps. During the next several years, the U.S. government and its citizens will have to make painful corrections to stave off further economic meltdown. To bring about full economic recovery, the solutions implemented cannot be limited to the financial sector but should encompass the way that Americans earn and spend their income. One fiscal area that has been strategically overlooked is the effect of double-income households on the United States' social and financial well-being.
THIS year marks the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War's beginning. Even in the 21st Century, the shadow of the Confederacy looms ominously on the fringes of Southern culture. Growing up in Virginia, I was confronted regularly with this reality. In the minds of a minority of Southerners, the wounds of the Civil War have yet to heal.
POLITICAL correctness is a social construction. Created in the mind of the collective, PC culture is used to chastise individuals who are considered to be acting offensively toward a protected group.\nThere is a place for social protocol in influencing how individuals refer to one another in polite society. Political correctness taken to the extreme, however, is censorship. It is curious what speech society chooses to chastise, and that which our culture lets slide.
THE UNIVERSITY of Virginia is known for its excellent academic facilities and programs. The University helps students achieve their goals in every area of life, including professionally. Unfortunately, students often overlook the valuable resources provided by University Career Services until their fourth year.
THERE is nothing better than being a conservative at the University. Just enough like-minded individuals are present on Grounds to make one's political life bearable, while sufficient opposition exists to fully vet one's worldview by graduation. Being the political minority on Grounds does not place conservative students at a disadvantage. Rather, numerous personal benefits accrue to individuals who hold a minority political persuasion during their college years. As a conservative at a predominantly liberal institution, you learn to defend your beliefs, withstand intellectual challenges and adapt your worldview when someone presents a persuasive counterpoint.
WHETHER we want to admit it or not, marriage and relationships still are very important issues for society. In the next decade, most University students will decide through trial and error with whom they want to spend the rest of their lives. Forty percent of those students will be wrong.
MOTHER'S Day is roughly a month and a half away, but it is never too early to start thinking about the perfect gift for the special lady in your life.
CAN ONE man embody a century? Frank Buckles lived to be 110 years old and participated in the most rapid period of technological and institutional development the world ever has seen. Born in Missouri back when horses were still the dominant mode of transportation, Buckles was caught up in the two great World Wars, and yet he lived to see the first man walk on the moon and observe our nation elect an African-American president. On February 27, 2011, Buckle's passing symbolically brought that era to a close. When thinking about this great man's death the words of rapper B.O.B. fittingly resound, "Whenever an era dies, another begins."
OIL APPEARS to be the problem that will not go away. Just last weekend when I went to fill up my tank for the return drive to Charlottesville, gas was selling for $3.50 a gallon, down from $3.70. While it is easiest to observe the pitfalls of our economy's reliance on oil when we are pulling out our wallets at the gas pump, the effect of higher fuel prices on inflation and global economic growth is the truly disconcerting trend. To insure the United States' economic future, our political leaders need to break the American addiction to oil.

SOMETHING is brewing near Beta Bridge, and for once it is not alcohol. There has been a recent explosion in the number of students heading toward Beta Bridge on Friday and Saturday nights - not to find the hottest party, but to feed it. Numerous student groups, from the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega to several different Alternative Spring Break contingents, have taken up residence on Rugby Road to sell food to hungry partygoers.
WHILE the Commerce School is not perfect, The Cavalier Daily should leave the non sequiturs about the Commerce School on the comics page. As a third-year student in the Commerce School, I was particularly upset to read yesterday's lead editorial, "Book smart." The article commented on a recent study by Asst. Sociology Prof. Josipa Roksa and New York University Prof. Richard Arum that found students studying a liberal arts curriculum showed increased gains in critical thinking and reasoning skills compared to students within other majors. While I have no qualms with the study, I disagree with the method in which it was construed to unfairly criticize the Commerce School curriculum.
