The Light or Dark Ages? The Middle Ages of Medieval Europe is well known for being called the “Dark Ages”. Why?

Some people wonder if the Middle Ages deserve to be called the “Dark Ages” or not.…

A belief that I am very familiar with is when people buy, adopt, or breed their animals when they do not have the means to take care of them, or just do not care to take care of them. This is one of those things that I cannot get over. People are just so ignorant to the time, money, and care that goes into having an animal.

This was also mirrored in Abe. In 1942, 20000 Jewish people were deported to the Chelmno death…

Pirate ships in the Golden Age of Piracy weren’t very pleasant places to live. It was an exciting life, to be sure, but things weren’t always easy for the sailors. Diseases and injuries were common among the crew. Doctors were scarce and not always well trained, and many pirates died. It is a wonder that so many men chose the pirate life! Life on a pirate ship was greatly influenced by sickness, injuries, and often harmful treatments for both. When pirate problems are mentioned, most people…

Ebola can have a fatality rate of up to ninety percent. In his novel, The Hot Zone, Richard Preston describes Ebola as, “a kind of obscenity you see only in nature, an obscenity so extreme that it dissolves imperceptibly into beauty.” The virus spreads through all bodily fluids, including blood, vomit, feces, saliva and sweat. Male patients who have recovered from the virus can even pass it on through their semen up to seven weeks after recovery (Elliot). The current outbreak in West Africa has…

PPE’s are a part of Standard Precautions which…

Water is, and has always been, a basic human necessity and one with which no individual can survive without for a significant period of time.

With these effect, serious additional issues would be triggered…
