This is because the probability of the individual vote influencing the outcome of a presidential election is infinitesimal. However, people still vote because they believe in American values of democracy and the idea that everyone’s voice is represented. We can tell all the cute stories we want that make voters feel good about themselves, but the reality is…

Be it the human-discovery of fire or the advent of the steam engine, it is a popular notion to believe that humans are responsible for the shift in global climate. In fact, Paul Crutzen, Nobel prize winner for his work as an atmospheric chemist, proposed the idea that the human race has influenced the environment so much that there should be a geological epoch named after us: The Anthropocene. However, in Andreas Malm’s article, “The Anthropocene Myth”, Malm implores readers to think contrarily…
The Great Gatsby is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a mysterious character named Gatsby that the protagonist, Nick Carraway, slowly gets to know and befriend. The characters in the book are all very odd and interesting with their own personal backgrounds that make them very relatable in their own respective ways.

During the 1960’s the United States was in the midst of scientific discoveries that were increasing exponentially. Of these scientific discoveries was the augmentation of the knowledge of the mysterious concept known as space. United States was not the only country to embark on the acquisition of this knowledge; the Soviet Union was also seeking to gain information on space before the United States could. In fact, the repeated cycle of subduing each other in this endeavor during the decade…
“Is there no virtue in this woman!” exclaimed a superannuated man in the crowd (Chapter 2).

Hester, being seen unfit for any means of moral standards, is persecuted and shunned by her municipality for bearing a baby of an unknown man. Although Hester is seen as ungodly towards the beginning, her transformation is profound upon the end. The metamorphosis of Hester Prynne started from a…
Exceptionalities of all kinds are commonly portrayed in modern media, and these portrayals vary in accuracy and the purpose that they serve. This may serve to create a variety of intended effects ranging from pity to anger depending on how the disability in question is portrayed. The movie The Theory of Everything, which stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones as Stephen and Jane Hawking, is a clear example of this type of portrayal. This film follows the life of the physicist Stephen Hawking as…
Blaylock highlights how independent study after study has shown that fluoride increases cancer rates, increases bone disorders, which as Blaylock points out is a good way of increasing mortality rates amongst the elderly, and also leads to profound neurological disorders. Blaylock highlights the research of Phyllis Mullenix, Ph.D, who during her tenure at Harvard University conducted one of the largest studies into fluoride’s effects on the brain in animals. Mullenix found that offspring of…
