They called it, the Space Race. Did America really win the race? Was Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldridge the first men on the moon? Let’s find out.

Importance of English Language
We come from living in caves and eating raw meat so that the machines can cook our food. This is because we humans can come together and make progress in science. That is, we could communicate with one another, share ideas, and grow together. Without language, people cannot express their feelings or expect someone else to understand what that person is saying.

The value of a single drop of water
Water is one of the most important sources of energy for life on earth. It is equally important for humans and animals. Water not only helps us to survive, but it is also essential for our daily well-being. It has many uses when we think about it. Much of our land is covered by water itself, however, not all of it is safe to use. Therefore, it is important that we use this obvious chemical wisely. Furthermore, given the current water shortages in our country, it makes it extremely important to conserve them as soon as possible.

Lemmings, Alumin(i)um, and Lies
Did you ever hear the story about lemmings? You know, the one about how they commit mass suicide once a year by throwing themselves from a cliff into the ocean. It was a story that I’d heard or read so often, I was utterly convinced it must be a fact. I believed it to be true for most of my life.

Queer and Radical Women in the Third Reich
Hearing little about the Holocaust from my German family and learning the majority from museums and books that showed the ugly truth, I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt around my German heritage. It was a difficult thought process to acknowledge that my ancestors were most likely complicit, if not perpetrators, in the systematic murder of millions of Jewish, queer, Romani, and other oppressed peoples. I sought some sort of remedy for these dissonant thoughts; being ashamed of my lineage while also holding so much love for my family, their culture, and the country I come from.
