My parents have quite the history of not getting along financially. After their divorce in 2005, it was almost impossible to come to an agreement on who would pay for necessities.

After settling into a new home, things finally began to cool down, and arrangements were made to alleviate monetary stress.

The biggest threat to human existence is climate change. The dawn of industrialization saw the adoption of large scale ways of production.

Although industrialization seeks to transform our lives, it should not come at the expense of the environment. Having recently witnessed the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey, I have taken a keen interest in knowing how human activities lead to climate change. The impact of climate change on human life has been quite costly. Given the devastating effect of hurricanes on human settlements, studies aimed at averting the occurrence of the same are welcome. In the recent past, I have witnessed nature’s wrath through the occurrence of hurricanes and tsunamis, for instance. The following discourse focuses on climate change and how it leads to natural

It did not seem to matter if who they helped out were friends, or complete strangers, people were only focused on helping people. There is an important question that arises
