The truth is out as we finally get a peek behind the curtain that veils our society. In our world are people who believe they are gods‚ dictating who or what gets to live or die. Humanity no longer values the planet that sustains us or the organisms that coexist with us. Instead‚ we poke‚ prod‚ and experiment on animals to further our technologies. Often times it comes down to the worth of one creature over another. Our actions are justified by the simple concept of “who you would rather choose to

A Wild Decision One man’s logic is another man’s senselessness. One man’s routine is another man’s torture. Chris McCandless is not far from this analogy. In the novel‚ Into the Wild by John Krakauer‚ the eccentric story of a man who was living the American dream abandons society and takes off on a wild adventure‚ traveling America with nothing more than cheap hiking boots‚ a small riffle‚ and a ten pound bag of rice.

Homework Helpful To Students? Practice makes perfect‚ at least that is how the saying goes. How much practice makes perfect‚ though?
