Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why people believe in God
14 of 134

In theory, God' is a nice concept. God, whether in Christianity, Islam or Hinduism is a being that has the power to preside over all that goes on in this world. Humans are curious by nature. From the Ancient Greeks to the Victorians, people have always been trying to gain a greater understanding of life and how it works. Des... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What would happen if we knew when we were going to die
6 of 24

Death is the only thing that is certain in life, yet at the same time, it is wholly uncertain. In a way, death is something which constantly hangs over us, because none of us know exactly how and when we will leave this world. We have to learn to live in such a way that the possibility of our impending doom isn't always hang... More..

Sciences > Chemistry An overview of elements found in the human body
2 of 8

Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen are the main elements found inside the human body. I find it amazing that 63% of the human body is composed of just one element: oxygen. Perhaps this should not be surprising, since a lot of this oxygen is tied up in water and water composes around 70% of the human body. Water itself is ... More..

Sciences > Chemistry What are electrochemical cells?
1 of 3

An electrochemical cell facilitates a chemical reaction. The whole electrochemical cell consists of two half cells; in one half cell, oxidation occurs, whilst reduction takes place in the other. The reaction creates an EMF (electromotive force). The size of this force is measured by a high resistance voltmeter. The voltmeter... More..

Arts & Humanities > Ethics Is committing suicide wrong
70 of 108

It's very easy to condemn suicide as being wrong; it's not easy at all to feel suicidal and to deal with all of the emotion that comes with the desire to end your own life. The simple answer to this question would be yes: suicide is wrong, it's a wholly selfish act and those who attempt and commit suicide are selfish people.... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Should people have sex before marriage?Smallicon
74 of 106

Why shouldn't people have sex before marriage? It's a matter of personal choice; I wouldn't condemn someone for choosing not to have sex before marriage, but I certainly wouldn't expect them to tell me that for choosing to have sex before marriage, I am somehow morally wrong. Sex is an integral part of a relationship. You wo... More..

Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Internet as a threat to newspapers
22 of 31

Every morning, when I sit down at breakfast, there is a newspaper on the table. If I'm in a rush, perhaps I'll just read the headlines or the first couple of lines of an article. If I have more time, I will flick through and read what interests me. There is no way, in my current situation at least, that I would sat down to b... More..

Sciences > Chemistry An overview of the periodic table of the elements

The Periodic Table is essential to chemists; elements are arranged according to their atomic number. 'Atomic Number' refers to the number of protons which is found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic mass of an element is another piece of information which can be found in the periodic table - atomic mass is the number of p... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing Why you should laugh when it hurts
6 of 8

You should laugh because it hurts. If something hurts, then maybe there isn't anything practical you can do to stop it hurting, but you can always laugh. That's something that no one will ever be able to take away from you; you will always be able to laugh. And even when it hurts really badly, you can always do your best to ... More..

Health & Fitness > Mental Illness What motivates people to cut themselves
6 of 7

Self harm is ironic. Most self harmers will tell you that they hurt themselves so they can deal with the emotional pain that they feel. To most people, it's extremely illogical and impossible to understand. If you're feeling emotional pain, surely you want to do something that makes you feel better; have a cup of tea, talk t...
