political views‚ but what does it mean to have liberty? Most importantly‚ how does having liberty affect your day-to-day life‚ and is it really worth having in the long run? As stated before‚ liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restriction imposed by authority on one’s way of life‚ behavior‚ or political views‚ but I don’t believe this definition gives the word complete justice. Liberty‚ in my opinion‚ means that you don’t have to worry day-in and day-out about someone

Why do we have seasons? We all know that The Earth‚ our planet‚ spins around on its own axis. It is an imaginary line passing through the North and South poles. That’s how we get night and day. But why we get different seasons is more complex. The Earth isn’t standing straight up at a 90 degree angle. It’s more tilted on its axis that measures about 23.5 degrees. As the Earth revolves around the Sun in a wide circle‚ sometimes the top portion (Northern Hemisphere) is towards the Sun‚ and sometimes

They Who Have Truth I believe that there is not only one church that teaches the truth of the gospel. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines truth as “A verified or indisputable fact‚ proposition‚ principle‚ or the like.” I believe that this word can be interpreted in many different ways‚ and have very different meanings. I write today specifically about the truth that we claim to have in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is my understanding that many people in the church believe

Puritans felt that when one had strayed away from doing God`s work‚ that they had to take action in harshly punishing and often humiliating the sinner in front of townspeople. Who gave the Puritan people the authority to punish and humiliate those who are believed to do wrong? Wouldn`t that make the Puritans sinners as well? Well the answer is simple

It is up to the individual to either go with or against

We have the same question that ‘why do we have to do homework every day?’. Most people explain about the harms of homework‚ but why don’t they explain about the goods too? I think we have to change our way of thinking because homework does more good than harm. Firstly‚ homework helps us to allocate our time because of our research; we have to find more extra knowledge in order to do our homework. When we do homework‚ we can’t waste the time with the ridiculous things‚ and homework motivates us to
