Whenever there is a disturbance, policemen are always on the lookout and off to the rescue. It is the policemen’s duty to protect each person and keep them safe and secure from all the hazards which may arise, be it something intentional or accidental. This is one reason why police officers are deemed as persons who are of high authority and respect. With their sharp looking uniforms, black boots and shiny police badges, who would ever miss them in a busy street? Indeed, policemen are one of the most well-known and prominent agents of our society.

More than being the social protectors of the people there are many other jobs which policemen are responsible for. First is that they belong to the authorized persons who will exercise the police powers of the state. Any laws, acts, or provisions made upon by authorities, i.e. public officials, should be implemented collaboratively with this department or national agency. Secondly, policemen are meant to help discipline the members of the community and train them to be upright citizens, not to become deviant persons who would add to the societal problems. Policemen are well known for these jobs, and through these tasks, they gain this sense of respect and authority in the eyes of the civilians.

Policemen are the guardians of the people and the protectors of the citizens from possible and existing harm in the community. With these armed people in uniform around, we can have a sense of safety and security in our homes. Furthermore, with the identification badges on their chests and arms, they would carry this sense of responsibility and duty to protect the people’s lives and keep them safe from society's ills.

Of course this was when the police men are still considered to be the friends of the society. Years ago policemen were respected as people beyond reproach. These are the people who take their responsibility of serving the people they have sworn to protect seriously. Years ago your fears would be calmed when you saw these people arrive in the scene.

Nowadays this is not always true. Police who once showed kids in the park the right way of throwing the Frisbee have been reported to be cohorts of kidnappers and the co-conspirators of narcotic dealers. These people who have sworn to uphold the law are portrayed in the news media as criminals, accused of police brutality and misuse of power, money laundering, planting evidence and many other police misconducts.

It is actually very sad that people’s notion of this noble profession was marred by the conduct of a few in the police force. For sure there are still good security personnel left, the kind that would not hesitate to risk their lives to save the citizens they have sworn to protect. But where are they now? Didn’t you ever wish that for a change a story of one of our best will be featured in the news?

Change is the only constant, and life is full of it. Everyday something is different, be it something small or something revolutionary.

Racist, religious, and ethnic jokes are generally reprehensible. However, when properly used, they can do much to bring people together rather than tearing them apart. I love racist jokes. If you are shocked by this declaration, you shouldn't be because what I mean by the term is not those disgusting, brutal - and generally false - observations designed to cause offense and injury. These do not qualify as jokes, because there is nothing funny about putting people in degrading pigeonholes.
I recently did an Internet search to find out why polygamy is banned in some places in the world and is not, and even encouraged, in others. Why? Because a few years ago I did a similar search and came up with essentially nothing. Those sites that talked about the illegality of polygamy basically listed where such bans were in effect but gave no reasons why, which of course was object of the exercise. The first time I did the search I was still an Internet novice, so I thought perhaps I hadn't done it right. However this second search, undertaken several years later, turned up essentially the same result.
