As a child, I found it humbling how ants – those tiny creatures belonging to an ancient species – achieve huge goals by functioning as a harmonious collective. Humanity’s success as the master race on this planet also relies on our interdependence as a harmonious community, but crucially, the willingness to innovate and disseminate knowledge that distinguishes human beings from other living creatures. In my own case, to make myself of more worth to other people, I have never stopped pursuing knowledge through academic education, and more importantly, through real life experiences.

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Hygiene is often something we consider when examining different cultures around the world. We often wonder what cleaning rituals different people have, and how they define the word, “cleanliness” themselves. Something we sometimes overlook, however, is dental hygiene when we are examining cleanliness.

Take, for example, the people of Saudi Arabia, and the African American communities of the United States. Some of their oral hygiene practices are the same, due to poverty, or education. Others are different due to cultural and religious beliefs. ...
