We know debt has ugly forms, such as credit card debt (as portrayed by Antonio Banderas and Marissa Tomei in the video) or high mortgages due to unbelievably high interest rates (which Cedric the Entertainer explained). We think that if there is no debt in the world, then there shouldn’t be a problem. If debt is that bad, why then is it there in the first place? Why don’t we just use the money we have today to spend for everything we need? ...

Choices are always difficult. Whatever decision you make at some point in your life you will regret it. However, the burden of consciousness, shame and regret that you carry wherever you go if you do not follow your instinct is much more difficult. These types of decisions are always made alone, without discussing them with family, without making them public. Just as is the case with everyone else, I too encountered a difficult choice, one of many crossroads and the decisions that I made were at the times easy, but the burden of embarrassment is still present at nights when ...

The poor financial; and record management may also result in the bikes not being properly maintained. The high-end company has elaborate methods of supporting its ...

The car industry was born in the United States, and it has developed in the United States unlike anywhere else in the world. Today, there are approximately 253 million cars in the United States—a country with a population of just under 319 million individuals (Caudill, 2015). This demonstrates the magnitude of the American dependence on cars, a dependence that does not seem likely to change any time soon, although the American people are striving to end their reliance on foreign fossil fuels. If the car was banned tomorrow in America, there would undoubtedly be chaos throughout the country as people struggle ...

There is one thing that most people agree on when considering the future of the human race: the ways in which the human race are currently utilizing their non-renewable resources and energy sources is highly irresponsible.

Today, humanity is dealing with the effects of more than a hundred years of irresponsible stewardship of the environment, and, looking ...

They make eye contact – which though brief seems to suggest mutual interest. The young woman is busy with her compact camera, apparently reviewing pictures previously taken. ...
