The United States has experienced an increase in the number of cases of Hepatitis C over the past decade. There are counties across the United States that are at an increased risk for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) outbreaks. These diseases are efficiently transmitted by exposure to contaminated blood and blood products and often lead to co-infection.

When thinking about M.C. Escher’s work, one would think of geometrical birds flying across the print with a landscape shown underneath, cubes and spheres overlapping one another, and weird surreal prints of inverted architecture. That is because he is most famous for his mathematical tessellations, which are tiling shapes overlapping one another creating a pattern that could be endless. Instead of just using any old shape, he used animals and other objects that made it more difficult for him to…

One of the biggest examples is something that we will all have to encounter at least once in our lifetime, for some it may be more than others. This would be finding a job.…
In “The Promise of Sociology”, an excerpt from C. Wright Mills’ The Sociological Imagination, the writer branches out upon the subject of sociology and its impact on individuals and communities both throughout history and in the modern day.
