The ocean is a continuous body of saltwater that covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Ocean currents govern the world's weather and churn a kaleidoscope of life. Humans depend on these teeming waters for comfort and survival, but global warming and overfishing threaten to leave the ocean agitated and empty. Geographers divide the ocean into four major sections: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. Smaller ocean regions are called seas, gulfs, and bays, such as the Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and the Bay of Bengal. Stand-alone bodies of saltwater like the Caspian Sea and the Great Salt Lake are distinct from the world's oceans. The oceans hold about 320 million cubic miles (1.35 billion cubic kilometers) of water, which is roughly 97 percent of Earth's water supply. The water is about 3.5 percent salt and contains traces of all chemical elements found on Earth. The oceans absorb the sun's heat, transferring it to the atmospher...

                          Social equality Social equality concerns the distribution of social goods and burdens, such as income, wealth, opportunity, education, and health care. Although we may claim that all people are somehow "equal" -- say, equally valuable in the eyes of God -- this is not a conception of social equality but a call for equal moral treatment -- for example, to claim that everyone has the same basic rights. Instead, social equality occurs when some good, like income or happiness, is equally attained.  HOW CAN PEOPLE BE TREATED EQUALLY ? In recent history, many societies have passed laws that prohibit discrimination against people based on race, gender, or age. These ensure that all people are treated equally by employers, governments, and other members of society. Many of these laws guarantee what are known as human rights. GENDER UNICEF  says gender equality "means ...

About 70 years ago, physicist Enrico Fermi looked up into the sky and asked a similar question: "Where is everybody?" There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone, Fermi reckoned, and many of them are billions of years older than our sun. Even if a small fraction of these stars have planets around them that proved habitable for life (scientists now think as many as  60 billion exoplanets  could fit the bill), that would leave  billions  of possible worlds where advanced civilizations could have already bloomed, grown and — eventually — begun exploring the stars. So, why haven't Earthlings heard a peep from these worlds? Where  is  everybody? Today, this question is better known as  the Fermi paradox . Researchers have floated many possible answers over the years, ranging from "The aliens  are all hiding underwater ," to " They all died ," to "Actually,  we  are the aliens, and  we rode a comet to Ea...

Many have died; you also will die. The drum of death is being beaten. The world has fallen in love with a dream.
