International and Domestic Aspects
Further information: Commonwealth realm: The Crown in the Commonwealth realmsBarbados, is one the Commonwealth realms, sharing the same person as their respective monarch. Each realm is sovereign and independent of the others, meaning the Barbadian monarchy acts as a separate Kingdom with both a separate and yet shared character, and the monarchy has also thus ceased to be an exclusively British institution, although it has often been called British since this time (in both legal and common language) for reasons historical, political, and of convenience. On all matters of the Barbadian state, the monarch is advised solely by Barbadian Ministers of the Crown, and, effective with the Barbados Independence Order of 1966 and Statute of Westminster (1931), no British or other realm government can advise the monarch on any matters pertinent to Barbados.

“Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight “A’s.” It’s a lot harder, though, to show the same love when teachers call you from school to tell you that your child hasn’t handed in any homework since the beginning of the term.”

“What we men share is the experience of having been raised by women in a culture that stopped our fathers from being close enough to teach us how to be men, in a world in which men were discouraged from talking about our masculinity and questioning its roots and its mystique, in a world that glorified masculinity and gave us impossibly unachievable myths of masculine heroics, but no domestic models to teach us how to do it.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
