As Hezbollah evolves into a more legitimate group, in part because of its involvement in politics and welfare, the demand for a more transparent structure grows. Nonetheless, there is ‘still place’ for a secretive structure within the group.

Social media tends to start a dialogue amongst people. We would not be aware of the current issues happening at the moment if it were not for social media. There are many people who are not very dependent on watching news outlets and always depend on social media for their source of news. Using social media as a source for news is not always the best thing because most of the stuff that is shared currently online is not always accurate. Most people will do a little bit of research before going based off one post on their platform.
This summer I went on a mission trip with my church to Cuba for one week. We visited our companion church which is located in Los Arabos, It is four hours away from Havana.

This was my second year going and it was a lot of fun helping the people and giving back to the community. Los Arabos is the complete opposite of Havana, its more farm land and open greenery while Havana is more touristy.

Introduction Sectarian democracy, the political system adopted by Lebanon, fuses formal and informal sectarian and democratic components. Democracy is manifested in the way power is organized: upholding democratic principles such as the rights of individuals through elections,
