Coronavirus does not justify racism or xenophobia
As of early March, there are close to 90,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in almost 60 different countries. Most of these cases (almost 80,000) are in China. Because of this, and the fact that the infection started in China, Covid-19 fears are being used to fuel Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism at large, as well as xenophobia. This is detrimental for so many reasons; racism is always detrimental. There have been reported cases, particularly in North America, Europe and Asia, of people making racist jokes related to Chinese people and the Coronavirus, putting Asians in quarantine solely on the...
Is it finally time to get rid of the SAT and ACT tests?
I assume that most of you guys already know about the entrance tests for college, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Testing (ACT). Standardizing tests have ignited a national debate in the last few years, and many parents feel understandably concerned about their children being judged on the basic tests that don’t seem to correlate with actual learning or with successful college and career outcomes. As a senior in high school who has been experiencing high school enough to state this: I strongly believe that standardized tests are unnecessary for students and it...

If you’ve been keeping up with current events, chances are you are well aware of the dire reports of the United States' immense and worsening opioid crisis, which claimed as many as 130 lives every single day in the nation by 2017, the latest year data was collected. Yet amid the flurry of warnings and lamentations, one thing you likely haven’t heard is the enormous toll the crisis of addiction is taking on young people not only in America but also around the globe. For far too long, youth have been largely excluded from conversations surrounding the opioid crisis, not to mention today’s...
Air pollution must stop! A natural remedy to freshen your home
The problem I choose is about air pollution and how we can solve it. There are 7.7bilion people on this earth and the human race has evolved and come a very long way.

My solution to stop air pollution is very simple for your house so that you can have...
Equality in Education
Education is one of the basic needs that any human should possess, irrespective of race, gender, and economic background. Education today, all over the world has become an important scale to measure one's wisdom. Each and every organization considers a common examination or a clearing test as a qualification criterion. Having the exams in common, all the students who gained a high standard of education compete with the average and the bellow average category. It´s very unfair for an organisation to conduct such an unacceptable and biased examination. However, they do not have any other choice...
Technology in Health Care - Curse or Blessing?
In today’s world, technology plays a major role in almost every economic and social aspect of society as well as in our daily life. A life without it has become unimaginable. Also, the health sector has become highly dependent on it, in terms of medical devices and equipment for diagnosis and therapy, process organisation and data management, for the development of pharmaceuticals etc. While the people working in the medical sector are thrilled by these developments and face the future optimistically, patients on the other hand increasingly voice fear and unease concerning the mechanisation...

Building great people by changing their mindset about education
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world'' - Nelson Mandela Mr Nelson Mandela was right about education. It is important and we do nothing without it. Even the development of a country depends not only on natural resources but also on education. However, many people has a small mindset about it, though not everyone. I have met lots of people who said education isn't important. One day, I visited a friend's home and we talked about education. Then, her mom came up and suddenly said "Why should women go to school? If she does, in the end she will end up in the...

Campus Safety: Raising awareness on alcohol safety and drinking culture
You are 21. You just had a big exam that you studied weeks for and it went out well. You decide to go to a pub with your friends. It's 1 am. You are dancing. You had a couple of drinks.

You find a note with a phone number and a phone...

There is no doubt that COVID 19 has come as a surprise to us all. People have chosen to react to it in several different ways.

They have also started limiting the number of journeys outside their house, and is also continuing to thoroughly wash their hands whilst avoiding to touch their face.
