In the early twentieth century, the first white settlers arrived in the region, forcing the Kikuyu people off of their tribal lands. Europeans took control of farmland and the government, relegating the Kikuyu to a ...

I remember wading through crowds of people, seemingly from all over the world, as I was tried to keep up with my parents as we walked through the city. When I got lost, a friendly nudge from a shopkeeper helped me find my parents. Before I traveled to Singapore, I assumed that everyone in the country would be "Singaporean."

Violent crime abhors most of us, and outrages our sense of morality. But more than that, it offends our sense of safety and well being within our communities. It tears at the very fabric of society. For many, the response to ...
