Gender Inequality
Gender Inequality has rooted in this world for centuries. The phenomenon penetrates our society in every possible way from a biased working environment to a stereotype word on a T-shirt. It seems irreversible, but education gives a silver lining. The more access to education people have, the more human capital they can possibly accumulate. With professional skills and outstanding working abilities, they will be sought after by a swarm of employers with the same goal to maximize profits in the fierce market, leaving no room for discrimination. Those companies still holding bias are surely losing market power by hiring less competitive staff. The market itself is capable of resolving the gender issue but only works wonder with an essential prerequisite, which is education equality. Hopefully with more female leaders rising, policymakers can focus more on equal numbers of boys and girls in school and keep gender balance in tertiary education.

The Consequences of Cynicism
Donald Trump, a seemingly confident candidate running for US President, is trying to push cynicism to the limit through extreme vetting on immigrants and opposition to international trade, two policies most economists put off. Although filtering immigrants has long been an American tradition, raising it to an unprecedented level only creates more hatred among races, blocks the flow of great ideas, and raises taxes to cover the extra spending. The policy of restraining international trade, also derived from distrust and overprotection, can cause serious harm to its current free open market, which has long been contributing to its prosperity. The country will suffer the great loss of diverse goods and comparative advantage, surely decreasing its competition in the market and creating more jobless people in the long run. The distrust and overprotection ironically give its people more fear instead of security.

The More the Better?
There is no denying that wealth is an essential element to obtaining happiness. Every day, people toil away so as to support a decent life and enjoy the joy of material possessions. But is it true that the more money you have in your bank account, the happier person you become? The answer is obvious from the perspective of an economist. Because the marginal satisfaction a person can get diminishes with an additional dollar put into the account, a poor man's well-being from getting an extra 100 dollars is much greater than a rich man's from having the same amount. That means the more wealth a person has, the less satisfaction he/she can get from an additional dollar. So what's the point of pursuing such a great fortune if happiness is what you are looking for?

Starving Angels
They woke up because of hunger again. They thought they would have got used to it, but they didn't. Trying to cheer themselves up, they checked the school's free lunch menu and pictured the delicious meal they could only have that day.
These little angels can be found in any corner of the world. They manage to be content with what they have and cherish everything offered just like what they've promised God to do. But it seems that their prayers aren't answered this time. Soon, there won't be such free lunch for them anymore because of an impetuous budget cut by the government.

In what situation do we say "He promises that...."?
I found this weird pattern in a grammar book.
The verb promise is frequently used in reported speech.
Shouldn't we change the verb into the past tense?
