Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Do immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want?: 1 of 109
Do immigrants really take the jobs we don't want to do? I don't think that at all; quite the contrary, actually. I believe that in present-day America, with the unemployment rates reaching new heights, I believe the problem is not the rejection of jobs, but the rejection with the wages offered alongside of the particular job....

Politics, News & Issues > Energy Issues The environmental-destructive capacity of human beings: 11 of 60
Since the dawn of time, the place we have come to know as our home, Earth, has been fighting a battle. So far, it has been a stand-still, a stalemate. The Sun has been sending its "warriors" to our planet, and Earth, until now, has done a superb job of repelling the onslaught. The attackers, ultraviolet B rays, have been abso... More..
Entertainment > Music Education It's not easy to write music: 4 of 19
Your ability to compose music will remain contingent on a combination of things:1. Your drive. You don't necessarily have to take lessons (although it can be incredibly helpful); I never took a piano lesson in my life, and I can play better than some of the piano majors enrolled in the school of music at my college. Granted, ... More..
Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology Explaining the cause of shyness: Why some boys are afraid to ask girls out: 2 of 9
I will attempt to answer this question from the viewpoint of a male just exiting his teenage years, having the tribulations and torment that go hand-in-hand with this question fresh in my mind. Having just left this period, I can only assume where the mentality shifts as one grows even further into adulthood from my particula... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Assessing Dave Chappelle's talent: 2 of 6
Dave Chappelle, quite simply, is THE front-runner in the comedic entertainment world today, hands down. There isn't any other way to put it; Chappelle's weekly show was a double-edged sword, metaphorically speaking; it took racial issues in the world today and put a brilliant twist on them-after all, aren't issues easier to s...

Arts & Humanities > Meaning of Life Why we dwell on the past: 46 of 89
Dwelling on the past seems like the most logical thing to do for humans, and I think it has to do with the fact that we are logical, rational beings. Think about it-every bad decision you've made, every mistake, every thing that has gone wrong or taken a turn for the worse-why do we constantly come back to it, sometimes blami... More..
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What is the soul?: 29 of 49
The soul, in its most abstract sense, is defined as "the non-physical being that is separate from our physical bodies on this earth; it is simply put, our very being." I guess that is true, from the most simplistic sort, as taken from the topic of dualism vs. physicalism, but isn't the soul so much more than that?Just think a... More..

Picture a clear August night in your mind. As you gaze up at the stars, you notice the Milky Way stretching across your field of vision. It is truly remarkable, isn't it?And think about it-it's just ONE galaxy; there are billions of galaxies in the universe! Let me throw a statistic out there just to give you an idea of how h... More..
