The Mysteries of Nature

Bermuda Triangle, one of the world’s most unexplained mysteries has successfully provoked an irresistible fear in the minds of so many individuals who prefer living life in a caged and secure way and often forget to accept vantage of the phenomenon that have been gifted to them to have fun and be adventuresome. Only a few individuals have had courage to explore the Mysteries of Nature.

Earth, where gravity is the alpha and the omega. Where it's the A and the Z. Why then in Nakuru, Kenya, Africa was a hill where everything went in the opposite direction of gravity? The location has not been a cause of deaths so far raises dozen questions in the minds of scientists and normal people. People often wonder whether this is something they should worry about. Some people do not even know about it while some people do know and are curious.Take Luvish Gupta for an example. Living in Nairobi, Kenya, the 10 year old kid heard about the phenomenon from his nerdy friends and requested his unbelieving Dad for a short visit to this fascinating hill. Before he knew it,the father reluctantly planned a short visit to the hill and the nearby town. An hour later, the boy found himself at the bottom of the quite steep hill. Excited, he ran out with his small water bottle and poured all the water on the burning ground. Just like his nerdy friend told him to. Immediately, the water shockingly started to flow uphill. “Look Daddy, it works!!!”, squeaked the small kid fascinated by the phenomenon right in front of him. The amount of water flowing uphill started to decrease because of the thirsty sun burning the water on the ground. It was a really hot day. Now facing the shocking truth, the father started to wonder if this place was safe for him and his family. He rushed up his family in the car and left the isolated and cryptic location, which even though unveils so many fascinating truths of nature and our planet, is not known by all.

The devil’s sea is a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. It is known as the Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific. Flights passing the area face an immediate threat from nature. Most flights have survived through the mysterious area, but some have never returned. Some people easily give up the hope of surviving after a small problem. But some try to keep up the courage through these rough circumstances. Let's look at Sean Michaels. Travelling from Kenya to Japan, his plane faced unexplained turbulence for quite a while and suddenly, the engines stopped working, the lights went off and the plane started hurting towards the blue and hungry sea. He was close to the end of the Triangle but the plane stopped. All communication to people outside the plane was ceased and they were going to die. Obviously, it takes time to descend from 35,000 feet to 0. So one Mississippi, they hurtling towards the ground, slowly but steadily. Two Mississippi, Among, the crying and weeping people was the boy, Sean Michaels, who shouted across the aisle, “We won’t die! We will survive, We will survive, We will survive!!!!,” Three Mississippi, he convinced most of the passengers to keep the hope alive. They all cheered with him and in moments, the horrified weeping changed to cheering and building hope. Gravity helped and the plane exited the Devil’s sea and at a height of 10,000 feet, the engines restarted, communication was back on and the plane steadily returned to normal.

“Our world is filled with things we don’t know or maybe things we don’t care about. Our world is much more than we think it is. Our species had a time where we were fearless hunters who never lost hope and we’re always searching for unknown, discovering, learning and finding. But now, we have changed to frightened people that are afraid of the unknown and even lose hope easily. Is this the legacy of mankind? Is this how we will always be?” quoted Luvish Gupta, the same 10 year old boy now 13 years old who visited the anti gravity site in Kenya….

Racism: Does It Happen in Schools?

A few months ago, in a local school in the United States, a student was restricted to join a student run activity because of his colour and was falsely accused of forcing the students to give him money.

Racism is when a person is treated less favorably and is not treated equally because of their colour or race. Racism has been a global issue for ages but now has started widening in schools as well. According to Mr. Raisdana, an English teacher who taught in a school where racism was very common, “The main source of Racism is the lack of education and money”

When someone with a dark colour comes across white people with more money and higher standards, the richer starts insulting the poor to protect their pride and identity. Why is racism a problem? According to itstopswithme.humanrights.gov.au, a Australian human rights campaign, A study of over 800 Australian secondary school students found that racism had huge mental health impacts on young people who experience it, including:

• ongoing feelings of sadness, anger, depression and being left out 
• headaches, increased heart rate, sweating, trembling and muscle tension 
• a constant fear of being verbally or physically attacked 
• not wanting to go to school 
• having little or no trust in anybody apart from family. 

These impacts can reduce people’s ability to work or study, and to achieve their future goals.

Racism also affects people’s general well being when they are denied equal access to jobs, services and education.

How to stop bullying? According to youngscot.org, these are the following ways to stop individual racism:

1. Don’t Take The Abuse
You don't have to accept any form of racist abuse. Everyone, no matter what their nationality or race, has a right to live happily and free from discrimination. Yep, that includes right here in Scotland.

2. Realize That You're Not The One With The Problem
It can be hard because your self-esteem does sometimes take a knock if you're having grief from someone, but the thing you have to remember is that you are not the one to have caused the problem. You’ve done nothing wrong.

3. Keep Some Evidence Of What's Happening
You should write down what's been happening, like a diary of events, for example, and also your thoughts on what you would like to happen. This will be useful to show others that you need help and to what extent it’s affecting you.

4. Be Prepared To Speak Out
Be prepared to speak out and tell people just how it’s affecting your life and your well-being. If you are going to alert someone to the fact that you're being threatened, abused or bullied, then do it properly.

5. Never Give Up!
You might not be able to tackle racism by yourself. Seek out support and accept help where you can.

According to racismfreeedmonton.ca,

Support and participate in initiatives to increase awareness of and combat racism.

Volunteer for an organization that reflects your values and does anti-racist work.

Get involved with boards and community groups to help ensure that they are serving the needs of diverse communities.

Support ways to identify, monitor and respond to acts of racism, such as hate crimes. (Link to the Alberta Government Hate Crimes report)

Racism is a problem that can only diminished by bystanders becoming upstanders and just stand up for it.
