Is Your Body Getting Sick On Purpose?
Lately, I’ve been under a lot of stress. In less than three months I’ve managed to relocate back home; build three nationwide marketing campaigns in different locations across Europe; lose my beloved dog and attend court because of ridiculous reasons.

Fierce
Someone once told me that an old Turkish curse was to wish someone “interesting times.“ Someone also penned, and I forget who, that the world is robust but we are not. That we do not need to save the planet for she will survive in whatever form she does, that it’s us who need saving because we, as a species, will not.

I Have Covid: Day One
Well, it has finally got me. I thought I had lasted longer than my luck should have held out. But in all honestly, I hardly ever left the house until recently unless absolutely necessary. Then tonight, when I went to pick my husband up from the train station, I began to feel rotten. Sore, achy bones and muscles. Shivers and inability to get warm; Not to mention the dry, achy eyes and lips. I came home and told hubby I would lay down that it had been a long day.

5 Reasons Getting A Breakthrough Case SUCKS
Like a lot of people in education, I’m used to being around germs. It’s literally my job to gather several dozen grubby teenagers in a small room, shut the door, and encourage everyone to get close to each other and open their mouths.

The Affect of Ageism on Society
The main topic of this paper is ageism and the affect it has on individuals in society. According to the World Health Organization, ageism “ refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age” (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Ageing: Ageism) The problems that come with ageism are noticeable early in life: "By the age of four years old, people “become aware of their culture’s age stereotypes.” (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Ageing: Ageism) This data, points to just how important it is to study ageism. If even a kindergarten-age child recognizes the evidence of the oppression that can be caused to people in different age groups, that signifies just how pertinent the issue is to all societal groups.

Is It Ever Too Early for Young Students to Learn Medical Terms?
Kids are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for. They pick up on subtle cues and are constantly learning from the world around them. And yet, we often don’t teach them crucial information until they’re older—or not at all.

Imbibing the Culture of Giving To The Young Generation: What is the importance of Charity?
September 5th has always been my favorite day of this month. Given that the “ber” months would indicate that once it commences, Christmas season also begins. In the Philippines, when the first day of SeptemBER comes, most families begin to think of preparations for Jesus Christ’s natal day. It's surprisingly a long celebration of Christmas from September to December.

Seatbelts and COVID
In 1970 Victoria became the first state in the western world to introduce laws making the use of seatbelt in cars compulsory. within year and a half the other Australian states followed suit and by 1977, 90% of motorist were wearing seatbelts. Why? Because they recognized that although wearing a seatbelt could be something of an inconvenience, it also prevents death and more serious injury in the event of a car accident.
