20 th century

numbers of people lived, as a result of technological, medical, social,
ideological, and political innovations. Terms like ideology, world war,
genocide, and nuclear war entered common usage and became an influence on
the lives of everyday people. War reached an unprecedented scale and level
of sophistication; in the Second World War (1939-1945) alone, approximately
57 million people died, mainly due to ... |

A great way to travel

Safety
Although hitchhiking is more hazardous than bus or train travel, it is still safer than many other forms of transport such as cycling.
The most dangerous thing about hitchhiking is the possibility of being involved in a car accident or being hit by a car if you stand too close to the side of the road.
There is also a very small danger posed by accepting a lift with a driver that you do not know. The driver could either be a dangerous character or simply a bad driver.

Adolescence-a danger - the golden age
[...]
Many times, when we speak about adolescence, we call it “the dangerous age”. But, in the same time it is referred to as “the golden age”. These two syntagms are only apparently in contradiction with one another.
Is adolescence a period of crisis or is it only a more difficult stage of our lives, which can be passed trough very easily if we are well-prepared.
Among the “dangers” of this stage we can mention the difficulties connected not only to a physiological level, but als... |

Allergies

on a beautiful, sunny day). Others are so incredibly allergic that merely
taking an aspirin or getting stung by a bee can trigger a potentially life-
threatening allergic reaction (see "Anaphylaxis: the ... |

Cloning
Cloning is a very controversial theme. It is considered by many people and nations as an immoral practice, a bad appendix of science. Cloning does violate the laws of nature, because we are the ones that manipulate it. It interferes with the natural and common reproduction. But we have to consider another point of view. What will happen to the people who can't procreate by the traditional way, nature's way?

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the
Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve.
November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of

There must be few mountains in the world more alluring than Kilimanjaro.
This snowy summit, floating above the plains of Africa, exudes an

that it is far from inaccessible and can be climbed with no technical
problems lures walkers from all over the world, many of them perhaps
tackling their first mountain. It is sad that many fail in the attempt and
perhaps go away with a quite unjustified hatred of mountains thereafter.
