Controversy

When it comes to the controversial issue of what is the best way for improving our health between kind of food we eat, amount of exercise or decreasing the amount of stress, some people believe that kind of food we eat can have paramount role in our health, while others look at this concept through a different lens. As far as I am concerned, each of aforementioned three ways has its own merits and demerits and it can be negotiated from different points of view. From my perspective, if we turn…

In the Hindu culture, it is believed that Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge and the arts. It is she who invigorates creation as well as rids the world of ignorance. Brahma, the creator of the universe, also created Saraswati and became her husband. There are many disputes concerning how this goddess came about, but all ideas involve her coming from Brahma in some way. As his consort, he split himself in two from his forehead, mouth, thigh, or rib. Interestingly, Saraswati’s origin parallels…

I approached the front of the building, stepping onto the first step of stairs leading to the entrance like a wedding dress's long tail. Upon opening the door, I can already hear the echoing of the noise the door was making along with my keys, and the slam of it seemed louder than usual. Looking to my right I see the pantry basket half full of donated food, and candles by a Virgin Mary statue. On my left side were the stairs to go to the lower level of the church. I took a deep breath before…

Making a million friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a friend who will stand with you when millions are against you, and Clay and Austen are exactly that. One of my best friends is Clay Girard. Some of his hobbies is to play his XBOX 1. He plays it a tremendously a big amount. When me and some friends come over we always play Halo. He is probably the best player in the county, and top ten in the state. Clay also likes to read. The books he reads are mostly huge but he reads…

Leading Australian swimwear brand, Seafolly, has won a long-running lawsuit against Fewstone (trading as City Beach) who copied its bikini designs. The bikini battle lasted almost two years and cost City Beach $250,000 in damages. The court case centred on Seafolly's top bikini designs-its English Rose print bikini, popular Covent Garden floral design, and Senorita prints. City Beach was found by the Federal Court to have knocked-off Seafolly's bikini designs, and then sold them in its 60…

Cheating has always been a controversial subject because it is receiving a reward for ability by dishonest means. Cheating occurs often within an institution and because of this, research has been investigated and questions whether or not students cheat more now because of the advancement of technology. However, students do not cheat more because of the advancement of technology. I believe that students have always cheated before technology, even at a young age. When I was in middle school, I…

The concept of the burkini has been a controversial topic only as of August 2016, yet it has been worn by women all around the world – whether it be for religious purposes or simply for the sole reason of wanting to remain modest – since 2004, when Aheda Zanetti came up with the idea of designing a hybrid of the burka and the bikini. However, the banning of the burkini has only recently become a controversial issue in the eyes of the French government due to the terrorist attacks which occurred…

I also prefer the term "melting", though I recognise that this term is potentially confusing for a lay or beginners' audience. The analogy with melting of water ice, while intuitive, may invite the misconception that DNA "dissolves" into very small molecules rather than separates into its two strands. The lede states "These thermal cycling steps are necessary to physically separate the strands (at high temperatures) in a DNA double helix (DNA melting)", and in the description of the PCR steps it…

his time, Twain wrote in common language, forever capturing the American South in the early 19th century (Bibliography of Mark Twain). Unfortunately, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is remembered more for its controversy rather than it being noted for the provocative issues. The controversy lies within its vernacular, more to the point, the use of the word “nigger,” which landed it on the ban list promptly after being released in 1885 (Concord Library Ban). Like…

Parishioners at the Church of Scientology believe that Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is singlehandedly changing the planet because that is what they are taught, according to former member Leah Remini. Since Remini left the Church of Scientology in 2013, she has been openly criticizing the church and its practices. At present, the Hollywood actress is part of new A&E series “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” in which she reveals the church’s most controversial practices, Today relays.…
