Climate Change: The Biggest Task Yet

What is the biggest threat humanity will have to face in the upcoming decades?

Students Reflect on Positives About the Pandemic

Over one year ago, the first American was diagnosed with a virus that has become more than just a disease; it has become a symbol of fear, isolation and death.

COVID-19: A Danger Beyond the Threat?

During the worldwide peak of coronavirus in spring, the metropolitan streets were as empty as supermarket shelves, people feared leaving the house, and all restaurants and shops closed. With the promise of President Donald Trump to approve a vaccine soon and to steer society toward a normal life, one question must be raised: Will there be normal life as we knew it? One thing is clear, humans will survive the virus, but how will it affect our future and our perception of “normal”?

America Through Foreign Eyes
