Are female mothers and male fathers really necessary to have a nuclear family? What is the impact of non-traditional family structures?

Find out in this episode of our podcast as we discuss the nuclear family to discover its role, value, and impact on the proper upbringing and development of a child. As society drifts away from fundamental morals and values, approaches to parenting are also changing.

With the advancement of technology, the internet, and social media, is society experiencing a different type of social injustice?
In this episode of our podcast, we discuss the impact of a silent epidemic that is slowly wreaking havoc across global society.
We explore how the constant exposure to the internet and social media promotes a culture of comparison, where wealth and perfection are becoming standardised goals, and minority ideologies are being funnelled into innocent minds. The impact of all these things eventually leads to the development of issues that are challenging society. All this can make it difficult for youth to develop a strong sense of identity, as they are constantly bombarded with conflicting messages about who they should be. So, what can a generation being raised by the internet do about overcoming this silent epidemic?
