A parent is supposed to provide you with enough knowledge and information to learn how to live in the real world. By not being a good parent, they can fail to do this. There are…

    The world in which we live in is constantly innovating right before our eyes and alas we do not have control to take precautions in order for science or technology to not control us. Technology is a prime example. One day we pressed buttons and the next day we are tapping or scrolling directly on a screen. Some of us make the decision to use a calculator to solve simple mathematical problems in everyday life instead of putting our minds to work. The simple accessibility to shortcuts such as…

    Similarities? Differences? Everybody has them. American economists, Barbara Bergmann and Steven Levitt, are no different. Bergmann deals with racial and gender equality, while Steven Levitt bases his economic ideas on crime rates, abortion, and prostitution. Both economists are well-educated and strong leaders in what they do, though I disagree vehemently with some of Levitt’s ideas. Barbara Bergmann and Steven Levitt have very few similarities. Both are graduates of Harvard University and…
