The Day of The Dead was first celebrated in the 16 century by the Aztecs. They believed that when they put up their ofrendas (altars) that they were giving food to the spirits for their long journey to the land of the dead. The Aztecs had 2 days to celebrate: the first day was for the kids and the second day was for the adults.

        Philosophy was one of if not the most important things to come out of Ancient Greece. Almost all of society today was built of the first philosophers and philosophical concepts.  If we listen to some of even the oldest philosophical concepts we could improve how our society functions as a whole. Even though most people credit Socrates as one of the first philosophers, there were actually philosophers for multiple centuries before him. This is “Pre-Socratic” philosophy. It mainly started by people theorizing about religion and concepts that would become the base of philosophy for the next multiple centuries.

What is String Theory? by Joaquin Lopez

 Please enjoy this article by a student in DMHS's "Introduction to Journalism" class!


This may seem like some sort of odd question to ask but what is string theory? I apologize if I am asking you (or any other teachers) this question again, but I am being serious this time. I have heard of it but most of the time it is glossed over as some sort of complex topic. But every time I have heard about it, I never really get an exact answer on what it is. Most of the time when I ask about what it is I see people struggling to even really give an answer despite it being an interesting topic. Due to the lack of information about what it really is, I will attempt to give a (simplified) answer to this question and cover the basics of what forms this theory.
