Philip W Mason is a talented and experienced professional with a passion for developing new ideas for society. Climate Justice is a favorite topic of his.
So you’ve come to investigate more about Climate Justice and potentially avoid hardships in people’s lives.

2.) do so by Sharing Burdens (Social Justice)

A critical thinker collects all the information she has about a topic (previous knowledge base and any new information), examines it all
Everyone Has a Gift
I believe everyone has a powerful gift to offer the world. Everyone. I saw a 60 Minutes segment a few years ago on a young man with severe brain damage. He was blind, couldn’t tie his shoes and dress himself, and needed help eating. And he had a powerful gift. His family was wealthy and
Happiness Discussion
Happiness can come from feeling the uplifting push that comes from a positive emotion. True happiness never directly comes from feeling a negative emotion. When we feel a negative emotion, often instinct kicks in and causes our response. If we are able to interject a cognitive thought, we have the option of making our response
