By cutting back on the pensioners monthly payments this will allow for the Fund to up to last thirty years. While this is the most ethical decision for the Fund,…

Reading fairy tale stories to children may harm them by enforcing a false belief in the supernatural.Before Disney packed them full of happy endings and singing teapots, Fairy Tales were dark, violent stories told to teach kids harsh lessons. Fathers preyed on daughters, wicked step sisters had their feet chopped to pieces and wayward children slaughtered pensioners in their own homes. While they weren’t exactly family-friendly, the inclusion of a moral tried to justify the tales’ violence—even…
