Would Millennials Actually Support Alexander Hamilton? Below is an essay I wrote contrasting the views of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. I hope you enjoy. -Nickolas Bovitz Alexander Hamilton is trendy to many young people because of the famous musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda and their stance against slavery. Yet many young people would find it conflicting that Hamilton also supported a strong elitist society. Hamilton wanted a government by the people, but he was also equally skeptical of the people’s political competencies. This raises Hamilton's concern on how much direct power the people should or should not have.     Hamilton shows this by how he wanted the President to be elected. He wanted the Electors to decide the votes for us. Hamilton said in his own words that, “His election to be made by Electors chosen by Electors chosen by the people in the election districts aforesaid” (“Alexander Hamilton’s Plan of Government”). His vision was for the...

The Value of the Dollar?

Image
What Does That Even Mean? Parents have good intentions when trying to teach the "value of the dollar," but the meaning gets lost in translation. The value of the dollar will never truly be understood without first knowing the value of your own life , and how money can serve you . For instance, an hour of your time is NOT literally worth $7.25.  Money is Valuable When Planted Earning, budgeting, and saving your money is only half the story. You can also invest your money, and have money multiply itself. Learning how money can work for you is what truly puts the spark in its value. I can not legally give financial advice, but I can tell you to take time to research the best way to invest and multiply your money , while teaching your children to do the same. A seed's potential is only discovered once it's planted and attended to.  One Dollar Is Not a Lot of Money Let's be honest, the value of a dollar is not much. It's best to be honest about ...

Climate Change Is Not Deranged

Image
                                                      Photo by  Patrick Hendry  on  Unsplash Climate Change Is Not Deranged by Nickolas Bovitz       Our recent presidential election has reminded Americans that we are divided on our stance about climate change. For the most part, most Americans agree that the climate is changing, but why it is changing is where people put the boxing gloves on. You may have heard the famous “the earth is going through a natural cycle, no need to worry” line before. I know that I at least used that line before. In my past, I thought climate change was all somehow a big hoax. I mean, how can you believe the earth is warming when New York is covered in several feet of snow? I perceived scientists and educators as corrupted sell-outs trying to drive a global conspiracy. Currently, I’m a ...
