All children are happy, right? Adolescents are often told to believe that they should be the happiest people on earth, because in most cases they are not required to have jobs, pay bills, or carry a significant amount of stress. The truth is that the years of adolescents can be damaging and dangerous. Children between the ages of 12-18 face many difficulties trying to figure out this crazy journey called, “life” that can lead to depression or even death. Approximately, “7 in 100,000 youth ages…

Instead of a ladder leading straight from apes to humans, a bush that branches outwards with each modification in species variety would better depict how evolution works (Gould 15). Egocentrism has created a belief that evolution focuses on man exclusively. If a bush illustrated evolution, then the emphasis of evolution would be on variety, and not on progress. Gould accentuates that evolution at its core should reflect species with…
