Overpopulation
Unknown
During the first 2 million or so years of its history the human population was a minor element in the world ecosystem, with at most 10 million members. In the New Stone Age, less than 10,000 years ago, the number of humans began to increase more rapidly.

With the abandonment of a hunting-g...

Which gender is more likely to drive after drinking?
JPS
Introduction
Last year a student from my high school was killed in a drunk driving accident. As shocking as the death was for many students, people still continued to drive while intoxicated. This year two of my close friends received DUI's and numerous people I have encountered have also been convicted of Driving Under the Influence. Working at a local bar, it is very seldom that I see a person choosing to remain sober because the...

On July the 16th 1945, in a remote part of the New Mexico desert, the most ...

With the rapid growth of our global population pouring into the next millennium, we will witness an ever-growing hunger rate around the world.

The Ethics of the Media
Unknown
The purpose of the media has become an ongoing question since the large amount of conflicts between the consumer and media. Why is the original purpose of the media so damn hard to figure out?

If there are so many people with so much power, surely one of them realizes the downward spiral of the ethics...

I...
