"Nationalism" and "Patriotism" often get mistaken for having the same meaning. While there are some small similarities, these words mean very different things, and as Brittany and Connor will discuss, one of these words has been very problematic throughout history.

53. Where Do Prices Come From? Oct 26, 2020

Ever wonder why a candy bar costs a $1? Or why a pizza costs nearly $20? On today's episode Brittany and Connor dive into prices and where they come from. Spoiler alert, we might have more power over this as consumers than you might think!

52. What Is Propaganda? Oct 23, 2020

For as long as there have been governments, those in power have been using media and art to manipulate the public into thinking or doing what they want. We often call this "propaganda."

50. Is Cultural Appropriation A Problem? Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

Halloween is just around the corner. Traditionally, this has been a holiday where kids can dress up as people they love and admire as they go trick-or-treating. But over the last few years, some people have decided that it is inappropriate for kids to dress up in costumes that portray another person's culture. They call this "cultural appropriation." But is this really a problem, or merely a way of showing appreciation and respect for other cultures?

49. What Is A Libertarian? Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

On past episodes, we've used the word "libertarian" before, but we've never really dug deeper into what this world means. Today, Connor and Brittany discuss what a libertarian is and how, just like in other ideologies, this name has taken on different meanings for different people.

48. How Do We Promote Good Behavior Without Force? Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

For those who believe in a very limited government, there is a belief that government should not be telling us what to do or how to live our lives. But that doesn't mean society would be lawless and chaotic where everyone just does what they please at the expense of others.

47. Without Government, Who Will Protect The Environment? Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

A lot of people blame capitalism for climate problems and think we need the government to protect our environment. In reality, the best defender the environment is the free market. And many young individuals are already using the market to protect the environment.

46. Is Failure A Bad Thing? Oct 09, 2020

At some point in each of our lives, we will fail at something. Often, we see "failure" as a negative, but failure is an important part of success. Even the most successful people have had to fail before experiencing their greatest victory.

45. Why Are Property Rights So Important? Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

Our country is founded on the belief that every single person has a right to life, liberty, and property. Today, Brittany and Connor discuss how property became a defining characteristic of free and independent people and why this is still so important today.
