Check out this YouTube channel by a Western monk in Sri Lanka. He answers a lot of difficult questions from the Buddhist perspective, and is very fair and balanced in his answers. You can also see a calm serenity on his face and even emotionless voice, which is typical of a devout Buddhist practitioner. For anyone interested in applying Buddhist concepts to life, this channel will be very helpful to you. There are videos covering all aspects of life.

"It takes far less effort to find and move to the society that has what you want than it does to try to reconstruct an existing society to match your standards." - Harry Browne, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." - George Orwell

Here is an interesting video the monk did where he compares the pros and cons of living in a modern technological society vs. a primitive tribal one, and how a Buddhist practitioner should approach both. His comparison is very interesting. He notes how tribal life has far less stress than city life, and concludes that the most important thing is to avoid unwholesomeness.
