By studying these examples and implementing one of them, almost any kind of stagnant legal system can attempt to change for the better.…

It is amazing to see these individuals practice resilience, they are people to admired rather than pitied.…

In Africa, the disease is increasing at an alarming rate.

Not all students have to become doctors, it is just recommendation so they don’t have to suffer from a disease or watch a loved one die. If students choose to become doctors with the education they’ve had, it will lower the death rate in West Africa.…
