Essays on Belief

According to the latest research, there is a fundamental difference between a debate and a genuine dialogue.

With enough support any law can be changed. It is said that with great power comes great responsibility, and celebrities do have some level of power over the opinions of the public.

Interpretation of Findings

There are several pertinent results that arise from this study. One significant aspect that arises is the presence of Fear of Success (FOS) syndrome.
