The world population increased more than 300% over the 20th century, and whilst rates of increase have slowed annually to approximately 83 million or 1%, the growth is not uniform. For example, population growth in developing countries such as Africa and Asia, is estimated by the United Nations at between 4 and 6%, compared to between 1 and 2% for Europe and North America. World health is improving and consequently life expectancy is increasing; as the global population increases at…

“Maddie” is a heartwarming commercial produced by Chevy Automotives in 2014, that takes us on a journey with the two main characters: a woman and her golden retriever, Maddie. With a soft, mournful piano ballad playing in the background, we observe as a woman, in her late twenties, stands beside an aged golden retriever, smiling sadly, and pets the frail creature. We witness an intimate moment between her and Maddie, as the dog lays calmly in the veterinarian’s office. Smoothly changing…

One of the most blatant symbols in Euripides’ Medea is the poisoned diadem which Medea’s children deliver to Creon’s daughter in an act of rancorous spite. The malevolence of Medea’s words nearly seeps from the pages when she declares to the chorus exactly how she plans to enact her vengeance. MEDEA. I will send the children with gifts […] and if she takes them and wears them upon her skin she and all who touch the girl will die in agony. Such poison I will lay upon the gifts. (page 26) Notice…

In the play, a barbaric woman who suffered a great deal of loss seeks revenge and uses the vulnerability of three foolish men: Jason, Creon, and Aegeus to further her agenda. With manipulation, brutality, and scheming Madea successfully pinpointed and took advantage of each man’s weakness. Although it is perceived that Jason, the father of Medea’s sons, married Creusa for selfish reasons, Jason insisted that he did it out of his children’s best interest. His sacrifices for his children make it…

our tree that you carved our initials into. Gently caressing the rough, gnarled bark brings back memories of when we first met. I was the new kid. When I looked down at my schedule and bumped into something hard, I never imagined it was you— the golden boy. Dirty blonde hair barely long enough to get in your sapphire eyes, and at 6’4’’, you towered over my meager 5’7” frame. Being the star athlete of football and basketball, everyone envied you.…

Strolling down the grocery aisle, bold blue and green labels declaring “non-gmo” on food products catches customer’s eyes. What do these labels mean? According to the World Health Organization, “Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism” (“Food”).In other words, genetically modified foods are foods whose DNA contains…

Different countries have gotten involved in trying to fix the problem, but nothing that has been done so far has worked. Most of what has been done to this point in order to make GMOs more widely accepted in Africa is the introduction of GM crops and food products. There has been colossal amounts of food and money attempted to be donated in order to address the hunger problems in Africa. Large amounts of this food has been genetically modified in some way, which could have extinguished…

I researched Golden Retrievers and Wikipedia says this “The Golden Retriever is a large-sized breed of dog bred as gun dogs to retrieve shot waterfowl such as ducks and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties, and were named “retriever” because of their ability to retrieve shot game undamaged. Golden Retrievers have an instinctive love of water, and are easy to train to basic or advanced obedience standards.” This is how I know that Wikipedia is full of lies. Golden Retrievers are…

grew up with a golden retriever named Harley. He had thick fluffy fur, which blew along with the wind as he soared through the flowers in the long, grassy fields. He had huge brown marble eyes, which glistened while he glanced at you. His long bushy tail resembled that of a fox. His bright red tongue flapped around freely as he wobbled about his way. He was the sweetest dog one could have and was a very playful. Although his outgoing attitude resembled the attitudes of most golden…
