#global response

by Timothy Witmer, 2025 Spring Associate Ten years ago from February, the world watched in horror as ISIS executed 21 Christian men on a Libyan beach- 20 Copts from Egypt and one Ghanaian who faithfully stood alongside them. This horrific act was broadcast to the world and seen by millions, who witnessed this evil with their own eyes. This tragic spectacle created solidarity not only in Egypt,…

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 marked the onset of a complex and ever-evolving global crisis.

I compiled together 5 theme songs from my childhood that would just get you hype to watch the show, or that would be so catchy that you can't help but sing along, or that just has a good beat... or all of the above! You'd just get excited and run to the TV when you hear it.

All of these theme songs are underrated in my humble opinion - except for Arthur... I think we can all agree that Arthur's theme song is well known as a lit theme song. Like... do you not hear the reggae? Reggae makes everything better, and Ziggy Marley killed that.

The song in here that I think is the most underrated when it comes to how lit the song is, is the Tru Jackson VP theme song. That show is SO overlooked! You can't tell me that show wasn't lit! (Also, the Nickelodeon show, "How to Rock." IDC what anyone says, Cymphonique KILLED THAT!)

Historian and professor Yuval Noah Harari* talks to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about the threat of the global coronavirus pandemic. Harari stresses unity. Closing borders and isolating oneself is not the full answer. An outbreak of coronavirus in one country is a threat to everyone.

Amanpour: “What as an ordinary citizen worries you the most?”

“I think the worst thing is unity, we see in…

“HIV/AIDS has been the largest adverse health shock in recent history. The only health shocks it is sometimes compared with, in terms of magnitude of the impact, are the European Plague of the fourteenth century or the 1918 influenza. HIV/AIDS has also been unique in terms of the international response it has elicited. Reflecting concerns not only about health impacts, but also about the economics and social consequences, political stability, and security…”
