    The Drinking Age

    The Drinking Age As we all know the drinking age here in the United States of America is twenty-one years of age. In this essay I will argue the point that the drinking age defiantly should not be as high as it is, and that the government should reconsider changing the age limit. I believe that there are more logical reasons to lower the drinking age than there are to keep it the same. I

    Paternal Age and Increased Risk of Schizophrenia, Providing Evidence for De Novo Mutations

    Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that afflicts approximately one percent of the world’s population and yet its etiology is relatively unknown. There is a clear link between schizophrenia and genes in familial cases, demonstrated by heritability. However there is also evidence that genes contribute to the onset of schizophrenia in sporadic cases (where there is no history of the disease in the family) due to accumulating ‘de novo’ mutations in ageing fathers.

During this time survival depended on the power of the certain ruler people served under. The power
