When children have unique experiences such as social interactions, exposure to different culture, or education, they grow certain traits from these…

The environmental crisis has been the focus of many politicians since the introduction of “global warming.” Each American political party has developed their own strong opinion on the matter and voiced it nationally in recent years. In 2002, Edward O. Wilson wrote The Future of Life, where he clearly pokes fun at the topic at the expense of the classic “Republican” or the modern “Liberal.” He satirizes two passages that argue both sides of the debate and further demonstrates how easily these…

My dream for the good of America is simple really, it just takes a bit of elbow grease, some might say, but I say it just takes an open mind and an open heart. I think everyone should have a positive dream for America. America is the greatest country in the world. I say this with whole hearted truth, I mean I know other countries, I haven’t been to many but I’ve been told by many, with a lot more experience than I do on the matter, that it is. Although I solely believe this nation is the best by…

Environmental Pollution and the Love Canal Throughout the country, there are many bodies of water. Each one of these bodies of water has a possible chance of becoming a polluted land.
