FOCUS: Be intentional about showing love and kindness toward others

By Dionne Wright Poulton, Ph.D., Snellville, Ga. | One of the ways we make sense of our world is by classifying or categorizing things and people. Simple examples include noticing the difference between a dog and a cat. Or if we see someone wearing a skirt, we classify that person as female. However, we should ask, “Are all cats alike? Are all dogs alike? Are all people who wear skirts female?” The answer to each question is no. For example, an Irish male friend wore a kilt to my wedding.

WILSON: Media provides so much info, but why do we know so little?

By George Wilson, contributing editor | The national television newscasts on the three major networks seem to have abandoned their responsibilities. A long internal tug of war at these networks between the reporters, combined with others dedicated to serious news, and the producers, who tended to see television as a visual, constantly changing presentation, a show. The producers have won, because it helps revenue.

FOCUS: Widening gap obvious between Gwinnett and rest of state

By Charles Hayslett, Atlanta, Ga. | Here’s an easy way to understand the widening gap between Metro Atlanta and the rest of Georgia.

Compare all 56 counties of interior South Georgia to Gwinnett County alone. Gwinnett County’s 2013 population was estimated at 859,304 – just under three-fourths of the 1.16 million people living in our 56-county South Georgia region.

BERNARD: President Bush-2 outlined immigrant strategy years ago

By Jack Bernard, Peachtree City, Ga. | A recent Gallup study examined long-term trends in immigration attitudes among Americans, a topic perhaps of particular interest to those in Gwinnett County. Surprisingly, it found that the number of Americans who wanted immigration decreased had not changed much in 50 years. Only 38 percent of Americans currently (7-16) want a decrease in immigration versus 33 percent in 1965.
