There has been a lot of gender talks of late and the eternal debate of stereotypical roles in the house has been kicked off again by the none other than The Game. A lot of women have taken the statement that a man should pay for everything but did not embrace the traditional aspect of things from a womanly perspective and it goes to show you one of the causes of the many issues in our generation. When people take things, celebrities say and allow it to inflate their expectations, it comes with dangerous consequences and a disassociation with the reality they are surrounded by. Being head of the house is typically bestowed upon a man, but it can come with many challenges when it is placed on a child’s head in place of a father. Some sons go to extreme lengths to fix problems in the home, but in situations of poverty parents may be tempted to accept money from illicit sources even if it comes at the detriment of a child. A parent should have the long sightedness that often eludes children, but desperate times can make you do desperate things. There are times you have to accept the punches life gives you and get up tougher, but many have not been advised in this way, quick fixes are always available but often come with lifelong consequences as AR-Ab found out. Jail time is not just reserved for drug traffickers and as Dereck Chauvin guilty conviction circulated a wave of jubilation swept America and beyond. Will this set a precedent going forward or is there still more to be done before we start using words such as justice. Football became divided when the villainous big six and other big European clubs proposed to form their own justice league to ultimately maximise profits. The plans were rapidly shut down which goes to show the power of the people and how carefully people at the top have to move.

It has been another heavy week with several deaths from the Prince Phillip to the hip hop icon DMX, two influential figures who had vastly different people mourning for them. As a British person, it is right to mourn an American rapper over the most senior Prince of the country? People feel connected to people for a wild variety of reasons and the same is true with disconnect, not everybody feels the royals are relatable. Will they stand the test of time when the Queen inevitably passes on? Time will tell and as the ruler changes the country will have to adapt. Someone who has transitioned a number of times is the Rock who has surprisingly gained a wide fan base to become the president of the United States. Is this a sign of the times where anything is accessible as long as you are rich and famous enough or does this just lend credence to transferable skill of excellent individuals? A chapter of a book does not tell the full story but if that chapter is at the end, it’s importance is emphasised dramatically. It begs the question not only in literature but in life, what importance does the start, middle and end have and is it possible to have a good project/life overall if a section or two is mediocre compare to the rest?

Everything is increasing in price, and inflation can be attributed to it however it can get to a point where you start to question the actual value of a service and whether the price seems excessive. It is also difficult when inflation and price hikes do not match wage increases and it is at this point where more people become prudent.  The reality where bad service may result in non-payment will likely increase and although some people have no problem in speaking out when unhappy there is a large percentage that will just grit their teeth and complain at home. Money matters no matter what age you are and the catch me outside star proved that by jumping on onlyfans and breaking the record for fastest to make a million. Her success does pose some troubling questions, like why exactly has she broken the record? Are there a bunch of pervy men sexualising teenagers and waiting for them to turn legal? Does legality and morality go together here or are they two separate topics? There has constantly been debates about what age someone is actually an adult vs still being a child, but it is often different when topics are personalised. Having your own children makes you see life differently and who you choose to have kids with can drastically alter the quality of your life.  We have seen people go to extreme lengths to avoid the responsibility of having a child with the wrong person. Child management is a different story and often the government has a lot to say in how a child should be raised but where should the line be drawn? France has taken it to religion with the proposed banning of under 18 burkas, but most people are opposed to this ruling. Where does it stop? Where do you stop? Is doing your best a thing? Or is it a cop-out or excuse? One area where there is no excuse is catching our latest edition of TheNineToFivers Podcast, let us know what you think.

In a rapidly changing world, things are returning back to usual…or are they? PWC has announced a completely flexible schedule where you are able to start when you like and finish when you like but is it possible for a structure or business to operate efficiently in this manner? The pandemic has opened our eyes to new ways of working and something like working from home may be here to stay for the long haul. The fight against racism is another longstanding thing which continues and as the trial of George Floyd rages on the team wonder what a satisfactory conclusion would look like. The conversation it has sparked has emanated worldwide and the UK has been no exception, with its recent Royal controversy and the backlash towards the findings in the release of the Race Report there is clearly still a lot of work to be done. From real life to social media, discrimination and racism is still rampant and Thierry Henry has chosen to boycott all platforms until more work is done. A wonderful gesture that would surely be effective if backed by a lot of influential figures. How about a safe haven in social media specifically for kids? Well this is what has been proposed by Instagram and Facebook to protect children from predators, but will it actually be effective? Or is it subject to the same problems social media generates. Someone who has been criticised for the negative impact they have on children has been Lil Nas X whose Satan worshiping blasphemy video and customised trainers caused shockwaves around the world. There has been widespread condemnation but how should Christians react in such situations? Christianity is often seen as a passive religion because it is often ridiculed without punishment but ultimately a Christian should lead with love. This is even more poignant as we reflect on Easter and the ultimate act of love it symbolises but has its significance been lost? Especially as the world becomes less and less religious, does the world associate it more with Easter eggs?

The ability to read the room and act accordingly is something that not everybody is born with. It is a sign of emotional intelligence and maturity to be able to act right in differing situations. Experience play a part but often how you have been brought up is just as important. What makes some people mature and other people not? Is it a decision or just something that comes with time? A person’s circumstances can have a big impact on how someone moves and behaves but so can the content that is consumed, but do you have to be careful of who you trust on the internet. Online profiles can be created in an instant and people can be who they want to be, but should this faze you? Does the truth need to get in the way of a good story? It can be all well and good when the evidence matches up to the claims but in instances when they do not, can the message be separated from the messenger? Does one have to live by what they say? With numerous cheating scandal all seemingly highlighting men as the culprits is it just something that’s expected now? Will men cheat when given the opportunity or is just we are not hearing tales from the faithful contingent and the bad is drowning out the good? Cheating is not the only high costing topic that was discussed as the emergence of NFTs which have been bought for crazy money was also mentioned. Technology is changing but the insertion opinions is one that never does, and we see this with the u turn in people’s reaction once they found out the real truth regarding her go fund me situation.

The royal pot that has been bubbling for a while now and it has finally over-spilled with Meghan and Harry’s now infamous interview with Oprah. It has opened up a necessary can of worms and the world has had a hysterical reaction. It has already resulted in two high profile job losses and it threatens to remain in the public domain for the foreseeable future. What are the limits of free speech? Should we be allowed to state our opinion irrespective of the hate speech and hate crime it may inspire. Whatever the case it is clear there is a lot still to be done as casual racism has no place in the world and it starts with challenging the prejudices that lay in people’s hearts. Crime is prevelant in the world, but are there precautions we can take? With an everchanging world technology opens ways to new fraud, but should thing be put in place prior to release of the innovative ideas? Or do people just always find a way to exploit a system? Find out our opinions on all these things and more in an passionate edition of TheNineToFivers Podcast!

Ah ah ah, Jungle beats holla at em!! Bobby Shmurda is back outta jail and the love he has received has been phenomenal. Is it the integrity and loyalty he showed whilst doing his sentence or was it because his hot streak was cut short prematurely? Either way his release opens up avenues to hot new UK collaborations. Whilst the scene is currently thriving there were a group of young talented pioneers that set the foundation for what we have today. Ghetts is one of these individuals that managed to ride every era and remain afloat. He has never really had his run as the main man but his time has finally come. Ghetts for number 1 is the current agenda and his album preps the way for a summer that seems to be on again. With Boris announcing the roadmap out of lockdown, the excitement is building. Will everything go to plan though? Will vaccination passports be needed to travel? Well it wasn’t needed for the robot Perseverance who travelled intergalactically to Mars but was the trip real? Was the images real? Have we even landed on the moon? What should be believed and what should be questioned? Will we eventually figure out all of the earth’s mysteries or are some things simply not meant to be understood? The stats, figures and numbers can point us in the right direction but sometimes they do not present the whole truth. Talking of numbers, when was the last time you checked all your contacts? Are they all relevant or simply taking up space in your phone? Find out about all these topics and more in a question lead edition of TheNineToFiversPodcast.
