Why adults are better learners than kids (So NO‚ you’re not too old) Kids are great! I was an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for several years in several countries‚ teaching mostly children‚ and I could see how quick they were at learning a second language. Of course‚ who of us doesn’t want to go back to our childhood‚ when things were simpler and the world was full of endless possibilities (which too many people claim it somehow isn’t any more…)?

controversial questions about WWII is: Was the Japanese treatment of civilians & prisoners of war worse than “the Holocaust”? The Holocaust was the mass murder of the Jews during WWII taken out by Hitler and his Nazi army. Prisoners of war are‚ well‚ just that‚ prisoners of war. Japan took more prisoners of war than any other county and were merciless to the people they captured. I personally think that the Japanese treatment to the POW’s (Prisoners of War) was a lot worse to the treatment of the holocaust

Juvenile offenders are treated quite differently than the adults in the American criminal justice system‚ and nowhere can that difference be clearer than in the corrections system.

football players who debate which one is harder. Having played both swimming and football I can say from experience that they’re both difficult sports but i’m going to be honest‚ swimming is much harder. Never in my life have a played a sport harder than swimming. In swimming you rarely get any breaks except for the 5 - 10 second rest between sets.
