    Binge Drinking Must Be Stopped

    Thesis: Although Henry Wechsler and Froma Harrop condemn the issue of binge drinking among students and agree on its negative effects, they suggest different solutions to tackle it in different manner. However, Wechsler’s article appears to me to be more convincing than Harrop’s due to a variety of reliable evidence, his high standing in the academic community, and persuasive rhetoric, and the fact that Harrop’s position does not fit my personal opinion.

    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.
