“During World War II a number German physicians conducted painful and often deadly experiments on thousands of concentration camp prisoners” (Haaretz). Some “experiments had legitimate scientific purposes, though the methods that were used violated the canons of medical ethics” (medical experiments of the holocaust). “The medical experiments were carried out to advance German medicine” (medical experiments of the holocaust). Other “medical experiments were racial in nature designed to advance…

Feral children, also known as wild children, are children who have grown up with little to no human contact. They are unaware of social human behaviour and language. This leads the children having delays in the development of their neural and psychological systems which support socio-emotional functioning. There are also ethical issues that arise when attempting to re-socialise a feral child. It is important for these children to be reintroduced into human life slowly and given sufficient care…

Abigail Adams was born on November 22, 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts, and died on October 28, 1818 in Quincy, Massachusetts at the age of 73.

threw trash out their windows and dumped trash into the oceans. Throwing trash into the oceans soon got banned in 1939 and people stopped throwing trash out into the streets, because people were getting diseases like bubonic plague, cholera, and typhoid fever. There were no laws concerning pollution during this time, so people started to burn trash and everyone had a backyard incinerator. But burning trash created smog and pollution problems. 96 people died from pollution within four days in New…

It might be surprising for those who live in privilege countries, but several countries do not have access to potable water. El Salvador is undergoing a water crisis, which is impacting the country’s life expectancy. Out of the countries located in Central America, El Salvador ranks to be one of the poorest countries, which could also be a contributing factor in the life expectancy. The most recent reported population of El Salvador is 6.34 million (2013) with the life expectancy at 72.1 years.…

Former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin once said “History shows that there are no invincible armies.” In the 18th century, however, the British rule that spanned nearly a quarter of the Earth’s land, and that was comprised of the largest navy and strongest army at the time would have begged to differ. At the time, it seemed that the British army was destined to control the entire planet. About 5,600 kilometers away, a little colony of The British Empire had enough. Outrageous taxes without any say…

Our ability to consistently access clean water is essential for our future generation's survival. Water is very important because it helps keep the human body functioning. In particular, the role of clean water is emphasized when discussing proper digestion. The human body relies on the digestive system to move foods and fluids throughout the body and break down the food into nutrients. In return, the body uses it for growth, energy, and cell repair. All of this can only be possible with access…

The bases of many arguments over the Holocaust focused on the numbers of victims it claimed during the Second World War. Historians tend to discuss how the Nazi Party managed to kill millions of people in a handful of years by explaining the extensive work within the labor camps and gas chambers that were spread out in a number of concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Sobibór. Although lack of nutrition was implied, many do not seem to realize the impact food had on the human body when put…

approximately 10cm long. In suitable conditions, the bacteria can multiply very quickly. Once the pathogens are inside the body, they can let out toxins or poisons that cause the human body to feel ill. Diseases caused by bacteria include; whooping cough, typhoid, cholera and food poisoning. Pathogens can also be types of viruses. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and are among some of the smallest known organisms. They contain a fragment of genetic material inside a protective protein…

Dating back into the beginnings of mankind, travel has long been a reoccurring trait in human history. With some in search for resources, and others in search for the meaning of life, the universal pattern regarding a journey merged into the search for knowledge. Cavafy echoes this sentiment in his poem Ithaka which communicates that you will be “rich with all [the knowledge and experiences] you have gained” after arriving at your destination. Like the promises made in the poem, Alexander von…
