With a background, and hopefully a future, in philosophy I am able to bring a different perspective than many other journalism outlets. I find it imperative that I use logic and rationale, coupled with aspects of creative writing, to create thought provoking pieces that not only appeal to the emotional and social demographic, but back it up with factual and thoroughly thought out information as well. Unfortunately, the tools of philosophical inquiry and critical thinking have been pushed aside for more emotive and monetarily driven foci, and I find it to be a duty of mine to promote such tools through writing, offering different ideas and ways of contemplating everyday issues.
