X-Ray Vision

In 1895, the German scientist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, was credited for discovering the ability to see inside the human body. His electromagnetic radiation machine leered inside the physical body, allowing it to enhance the future of medical work further. The health industry has never been looked at the same. When we see the additional benefits, this device has had on our world, we stand in awe. Medications, techniques, and operating procedures have advanced far beyond our previous use of “bed…

No Christian Left Behind

In 2002, President George W. Bush proposed his infamous “No child left behind” initiative. The basic principle behind this reform was the commitment of the masses to literacy and education based on availability. He reasoned that any child living within the confines of these United States should be given the opportunity to have the “richest” life possible and not be restricted because of their individual circumstance.

This time, they are confident they completely disclose the “final truth” on the…

Chickens Don’t Fly

A sagacious person once stated, “Chickens don’t fly.” I’m unsure how this works, but I do not recall ever seeing one personally take flight like their eagle rivals accomplish when rising into the heavens. If we rid ourselves of self-help books intimating, albeit lightheartedly, that we all can rise above our limitations (Gombau, 2021). For the most part, we should all agree that “gallus domesticus” was not given the talent nor the ability to leave the general confines of gravity…
