Silence for Iryna, Uproar for Floyd: The Double Standard of Modern Outrage

In August 2025, a Ukrainian refugee named Iryna Zarutska was murdered in Charlotte, North Carolina. She had fled war in Ukraine, seeking safety in America.

World Economy and Migration: Who Fuels the Border Pressure—Politicians or Poverty?

In today’s world, the economy and migration are not just interconnected phenomena. They are like the heart and bloodstream of globalization. Wherever capital flows, people eventually follow.
