Politeness is defined as the application of good manners and etiquette. This is really important when it comes to communicating in society because it can come with many benefits. An advantage of polite speech is having a good reputation and first impression. People associate goodness with friendliness and politeness. Talking in a literal manner instead of a polite manner can make you look sophisticated and uptight.

Radiation is energy that travels through waves. High levels of radiation have the "power to damage living cells."They cause damage to your internal organs over time and can even lead to cancer in the future. The three main types of radiation that affect us today are alpha, beta, and gamma.  Alpha radiation is actually an ejected helium nucleus. It is short ranged, so it does not penetrate through matter. This means that it also cannot penetrate through our skin, so it is not considered a threat to humans. However, digesting alpha radiation, most commonly through radon gas, can be very harmful. Even though it can't lead to radiation sickness, it usually leads to lung cancer. Beta radiation, on the other hand, in an ejected electron. It can travel a few feet and can also be penetrating sometimes. This type of radiation also only causes the most harm when digested. Beta radiation is used a lot in medicine. One instance is radioisotopes. These are used to irradiate c

Some people think that humorists only humor people, but there are many examples that contradict that.  One example is Hasan Minhaj. Minhaj’s show, Patriot Act, is a “Peabody Award-winning comic [that] explores the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity.” He uses his comedic and sarcastic voice and humorous jokes to make his audience laugh and make them come out of their serious moods while he talks about many issues, from political to global issues, that the world faces. These issues are sometimes problems that are never talked about,  such as race and religion.
