Hades
by Elliott Kalan
Hades--the lord of darkness! The most deceitful and scheming of the Greek gods! The one god not invited to the weekly brunch at Mount Olympus! Obviously, a slight like this calls for the total destruction of the gods of Olympus. To make that happen, the hot-tempered ruler of the underworld needs to acquire the magical Golden Fleece of Colchis. Unfortunately, the Fleece is guarded by a sleep- less dragon and soldiers made out of teeth, so Hades assembles a ragtag group of morally questionable adventurers to help him steal the Fleece before some dude named Jason and his Argonaut bros swoop in and ruin his perfectly logical plan.

Antisemitism and Islamophobia
by Lisa Idzikowski
When the Palestinian militant organization Hamas launched brutal attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, it sent shock waves across the world. In the aftermath, Israel launched a counterattack on the Gaza Strip, home of Hamas as well as millions of Palestinians. As a result of these attacks, tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been injured or killed. Both events have resulted in strong emotional responses and impassioned calls for action from politicians, aid organizations, and civilians on a global scale, but the same strong emotions have also become visible through a rise in antisemitism, which is prejudice and hostility toward Jewish people, and Islamophobia, which is prejudice and hostility toward Muslims.

Climate Change and Mitigation
by Avery Elizabeth Hurt
At this point, there is little doubt that climate change has occurred as the result of human activity--over 97 percent of scientific experts agree that this is the case. However, there is debate about the best way to deal with climate change now that its impacts are becoming apparent through issues such as extreme weather and a loss of habitable land. One potential approach is through mitigating climate change, which involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions and stabilizing their levels in the atmosphere. While many support this approach, questions exist about how effective this plan will be.
