This sums up how so many of the people of the older generation feel, the movie shows that you have to be strong to get through the changes that happen as you age. If you are not strong than the changes are going to end up…

Imagine waking up every day, secluded to a nursing home, constantly following the same monotonous schedule, and regularly having a feeling of despair. Joint facilities aim to eliminate the stereotypical life inside of assisted living and better the lives of elderly. Their solution is children.

Transhuman is about the overall advancement of human biology and how we can further the human race with technological and biological enhancements. With enhancements comes the question, what should we enhance and why. For every individual, the answer would be different, whether it’s leaning towards more technological integration, or various biological enhancements such as perfect vision, longer life expectancy, or even full disease immunity. One very important aspect of transhumanism, which I…

Wisdom Literature” Kathleen O’ Connor explores the six wisdom books of the Old Testament: Proverbs, Job, Qoheleth, the Song of Songs, Sirach and the Wisdom of Solomon.
