Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era.

The term ‘addiction’ itself finds its root in a Latin word which can be loosely translated as ‘bound by’. This very definition could reveal very clearly how very ensnaring the addiction to anything could be.

It was not until fairly recently that research revealed to us that even other very congenial activities could also end up being an addiction.

Surely, I thought it would be far easier to take-up the title and influence as King of Scotland; after all it would not be so very difficult to take the throne after a king whose mind was compromised, a tyrant at best who was guided by ambition and the fear of the prophecy that he was determined to never let come to pass. They looked at me with fear at first, but now I see hope, even in the eyes of the most impoverished; those who have lost the most. Already I have made plans to undo the damage ...

Is there really such a thing called “luck”? Why do some people seem luckier than others? Oprah Winfrey, a famous host on an American talk show, says that: “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn’t been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn’t have been lucky”. What the speaker is trying to say is that we must exert all efforts if we want to achieve a certain goal. Thus, when the right time comes, there is an increased probability that everything will turn out in our favor. In my opinion, what ...

America is a diverse nation with people of all most all ethnic origins in the world. With this in mind, one would expect the country to be racially accepting.

An Assignment Submitted by

Consciousness Consciousness is hard to define, as researchers tend to describe it with the help of broad terms that usually vary from scholar to scholar.

Sustainable Studies

Sustainable development represents the development that ensures fulfillment of the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations (Baxter, Boisvert, Lindberg, and Mackrael 1). But, in order to achieve economic growth, countries are using ...
