Since they were patented in 1968 and gained widespread acceptance in the 1970s, airbags have been valued for their ability to save lives in the event of an automobile accident. New cars were required to have both driver- and passenger-side airbags as of 1998, and airbags are now being used in car doors. An understanding of how an airbag works, as well as various present-day applications of airbags (such as air jackets for motorcycles) indicate that the lifesaving technology behind airbags is here to stay.

Dissection vs. Cruelty to Animals

Dissection of animals in schools should cease once and for all. It is inhumane, contributing to the death of millions of animals and putting children in a situation they may not yet be able to handle. It is also outdated, with more advanced alternatives now used to educate children just as effectively.
