Artificial Intelligence has been around since 1956, when it was formally created at the Dartmouth Conference. However, early AI differs from the technology we currently have. Chat GPT, one of the most famous AIs today, was introduced by OpenAI on November 30, 2022.  According to the company, the purpose of ChatGPT is to answer users' questions, engage in respectful conversations, generate human-like text, and assist with a wide range of tasks.

COP 30 will be held from November 10 to 21, 2025, in Belém, the capital of Pará. This is the first time Brazil will host a COP, although the idea of the COP was first conceived during Rio-92.  The COP is one of the most important conferences that determines the international direction of climate change measures, bringing together national governments, local authorities, businesses, civil society, and experts to build consensus and accelerate action.

The recent robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris could easily be mistaken for a movie scene, but unfortunately, it is real. In just seven minutes, a group of thieves broke into the Louvre, the most famous museum in the world, and stole eight priceless pieces of jewelry that once belonged to French royalty.

The teenagers shown in Hollywood are far from realistic. They’re played by adults, written by adults, and designed for adults to watch. Although some of the most popular TV shows are about teenagers, they still aren't accurately portrayed. Shows like Outerbanks , Gossip Girl , or The Summer I Turned Pretty  are extremely popular, appealing to both adult and teenage audiences, but they misrepresent teenagers. The widespread lack of representation leads to stereotypes and insec

From a young age, many are taught that accepting uncomfortable situations is a way to be polite.  But there's a crucial issue that often goes unnoticed: people are mistaking politeness for people-pleasing. True manners are rooted in respect, both for others and for ourselves. When passivity crosses the line into self-neglect, it opens doors for greater damage.
