Zoos across the world do not cater to the needs of animals, even though it may look as if they do. The animals inside roam around their never-changing enclosure, many times lined with concrete flooring that does not replicate the natural landscapes. Many animals held in zoos also exhibit abnormal behaviors, attack innocent people, and […]

The balance between privacy and safety has been continuously debated and shifted. The concept of one being more “important” than another relies on each individual and what values are prioritized. When asking if one is more important, it is as if asking whether the left or right side is a better political perspective: it simply depends on each unique person.

They also tend to benefit the school, more so than its pupils; by allowing said schools to be able to control the way in which they are perceived, and by tailoring the clothing choices the students can make. It also strips the choices available for people who may not have the […]
