Why Write?
Articles
that are personal, that tell your story in your
voice.
There are many
reasons to write. One of the compelling reason
is that others write about us and why not us
writing about ourselves. The goal isn't to write
a history or about one's biography but simply is
that writing and reading can be incredible—and
writing is something you can do.
Writing everyday
makes us better, more thoughtful readers. We
bring the insights and appreciation of a writer
to what we read.
Everything you write has an audience. Even when
you write your life story, you go back to read,
listening to what you wrote. You question. You
consider. You critique you choices.
Have you wondered how the story made public or
got on the internet? The answer to that is
simple! People wrote it.

Here are some of the issues that might help
you decide on the topic |
 |
|
|
|
|
Social & Economic Development:
Your Input & Idea can help people develop
themselves and open the doors to a better
future. |
|
|
|
|
|
Immigration and Immigrant:
The issue of immigration and immigrants has
been a center stage in politic of Cambodia,
and as relevant today as it was 50 years
ago. What to do about it? |
|
|
|
|
|
Natural Resources:
Under the
development context, powerful interests is
destroying our national resources. Natural
resources are being polluted and dangerously
depleted. Your input can empower farmers,
fishers, and others to defend their right to
life-sustaining resources. |
|
|
|
|
|
Devalue Within: We live in a
society that devalue among ourselves,
particularly against women and minorities.
Social diversity should be a social asset,
but in many places there is little respect
for indigenous people and minorities. We
should overcome social discrimination.
This social
stigmas inflicts fatal wounds on all levels
of our society. What can you do to change
this social stigmas? |
|
|
|
|
|
Peace & Security:
"A peaceful and
prosperous society is possible if everyone
from pauper to prince adhered to the same
virtues of honesty, courtesy and loyalty."
Confucius
Peace and
Democracy are relatively new concepts in
Cambodia. What can you do as a nation to
help create a better tomorrow for Cambodia?
Writing can help people
analyze the root causes of conflict and find
creative ways to build peace for the good
and society we all hold dearly.

|
|
Child Labor: The causes and
consequences of child labor. What can you do
to stop it! Children as young as five, are
involved in child labor in Cambodia. Child
labor harms children and keeps them from
attending school. It involves work by
children under conditions that are
hazardous, illegal, or exploitive. Are we
robbing the nation's future? |
|
|
|
|
|
Equality of Women:
About 70 percent of the 1.2 billion people
who live in extreme poverty are women and
girls. We, as Cambodian should recognize the
inherent value of women, both individually
and within the communities to promote
investments in women as an investment in
families and communities. |
|
|
|
|
|
Corruption: Corruption is a
sensitive issue, so write it with care.
Address the issues and what to do about it.

From The Expert |
 |
|
|
|
|
Classism: The most efficient
way to feel superior is to show others how much
money you have accumulated, how large a house
you own how fancy a car you drive. Somehow,
money doesn't guarantee class. Some of the
classiest people I know have very little money.
Some of the richest people I know have very
little class. Remember: Class that separate us
not race. |
|
|
|
|
|
Racism:
Racist language is an invention of
people who want to feel superior.
However, racism is
categorized as being prejudices
related
to national or regional origin,
religion, occupation, social status
or some other distinction. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ageism:
The language of ageism will make
itself equal in the end. Young
people grow old and learn what it's
like to be put out to pasture. Older
people remember what it was like to
be young and foolish. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ableism:
Show me the perfect body and I'll
show you a statue or a painting, not
a real life human body. All of us
humans have defects here and there -
warts and moles and bones that
healed wrong, muscles that don't
work, hair that falls out, chins
that droop, and tummies that are the
wrong size. Be merciful! |
|
|
|
|
|
Sexism:
Sexist words indicate the illusion
that men are the norm and women are the
also-rans. Sexist words reflect attitudes that
women are things rather than people. Sexist
words are often stereotypes held over from
prehistoric days. Sexist words demean women and
can lead to violence against women. |

NOTICE: Make sure you include your
name, contact phone number and, if possible, an electronic photo of
yourself. We'll be in touch soon afterwards, initially by e-mail.
Keep On Writing! |
