I was required to take the class for my pre-requisites for dental hygiene; and lets just say when I had seen that English Composition one was on the list I was not the least bit thrilled. My experience in this class brought me to the realization that English is not as bad as I had

Why is good writing and speaking important? English is the most important and famous language on this earth‚ most people of higher education speak it. I do not know why out of all languages. English is the one that decided to be world famous‚ maybe because English is in America and when people think America they think the land of the free. We all have fluent speakers and writers in every language as much as we have illiterate people. Most are actually in-between where there is some form of education

Advancement of Science and Technology of Ancient India Since 1858 till 1948‚ India has been under the British rule‚ the period also known as ‘British Raj’.

a typical science fiction story‚ I find myself completely perplexed. But then again‚ what is exactly a ‘typical science fiction story’? Because many critics‚ I believe‚ would never say that nothing in the body of work of this eccentric writer is ‘typical’. Rather he would show all signs of ‘atypicality’‚ of eluding any specific genre classifications. But‚ then again‚ none of literary critics seem to agree or‚ rather‚ agree to disagree on the subject of the definition of term ‘science fiction’. But

Advertisement and Sciences – Five diverse views Being primarily consumers‚ our view on advertisement is extremely biased. We consider most of it as excessively annoying and censure the advertising industry while at the same time we are highly receptive to their efforts‚ and as if that was not enough we take part in collegiate neurological studies on consumer behaviour.
