She had a kind loving soul.

Alexander the Great is looked at in two different ways‚ good and bad. In my opinion this young Macedonian king did not earn his title.

Censorship seems to be over used in the united states of america‚ censorship would be a good thing if it was used when needed instead of being used for unnecessary reasons.

Fracking can be both good and bad in today’s world. Fracking can be good in many ways such as its an alternative use for fuel because we use so much each day.
