Some major causes of poverty include obvious reasons such as lack of money‚ but other causes can grow to include overpopulation‚ lack of or poor education‚ hunger‚ war‚ and natural disasters. A recent World Bank study concluded that roughly 400 million children across the globe are living in extreme poverty. There are also many psychological effects

Women have been judged and told that they “couldn’t do” certain things for hundreds of years‚ especially female athletes. Whether it was for the “emotional level of a woman”‚ or just their supposed “inability to play”‚ they have been unappreciated for what they can do by sexist‚ misogynistic men like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He claims that‚ “you know‚ the girls‚ they are more unstable emotionally than us [men]”. I am glad that this idea of female athletes has faded over the years‚ and that women are finally

Numerous studies have been conducted and there has yet to be any definitive answers unto the debate of whether or not dreams have meaning. Dreams are frequently bizarre and often confusing with their odd characters and events that are linked with reels of memories and desires‚ but what if those seemingly random scenarios actually have meanings behind them? Dreams are mysterious and uncontrollable for most; there are so many dissimilarities and interpretations of them that there are endless possibilities

Do Mothers Who Work Outside the Home Have a Negative Effect on their Children Mothers who work outside the home are essentially the norm rather than the exception. In the United States‚ eighty percent of mothers work in the first year of their child’s life. Seventy-five percent of those work full-time. Therefore‚ many of our children today spend much of their early years in some form of alternate day setting. This can be a daycare center‚ a home daycare‚ or a family member’s home. The fact that

Why do we have rods and cones? Light falling on photoreceptors is transformed by retinal circuitry into a pattern of action potentials that ganglion cell axons convey to the visual centres in the brain. Two systems of photoreceptors exist – rods and cones – allowing the visual system to meet the conflicting demands of sensitivity and acuity‚ respectively. Rods and cones are distinguished by shape‚ type of photopigment they contain‚ distribution across the retina‚ and pattern of synaptic connections

Songs that have profanity in them shouldn’t be played at a school because some people don’t use that type of language in their speaking. People might get offended of the song’s message while having vulgar language. Other people think it is okay to swear or even listen to songs with those types of words in them. Some people don’t use that type of language. Parents wouldn’t want their teenagers teaching their 3-4 year old siblings those lyrics because they might say it in school and not know what they

an orangutan is a good pet to have. I chose to do my paper on orangutans because they are not the average household pet. They seem to be one of nicest apes in one person’s eyes‚ but others have their own opinions.This paper is to show that it takes a lot to know about these animals in order to take care of them.
