Discovering the Importance of Literacy As I read the prompt, I struggled to think about a time when literacy became important to me. The word “literacy” to me is just being able to read, write, and speak.

Most people believe that Tagalog is the same language as Spanish…

The word itself derived from the…

This initiative has been focused on urban areas (WHO, 2007) and there is another trend of age-friendly…

The media constructs views of the real world for society to interpret and understand. Although, the media just doesn’t present us with a reality; they represent it.

This essay will debate to what extant does the news media present an objective and…

In recent years, there has been a growing popularity in seeking alternative forms of treatment for health care.

“I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone”. Audrey Hepburn, in this quote, encompasses the ideals of many people who just want to have time to themselves, but describes no one better than Holly Golightly.

Always throwing parties, and always seen with a man around her waist, Holly seemed to be living the life of a…

Making the right choice should never be so hard. In My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult, the main character, Anna, faces the choice of saving her sister or having a “typical” teenage life. In the small town of Upper Darby, Rhode Island lives a family of four plus Anna. Anna, a thirteen year-old girl, is the “family’s constant,” (Picoult 39). Anna seems to be the one keeping them steady, she never shows her emotions, and she is always giving. Her parents (with the help of a doctor) chose all of…
