Aspects

Sometimes an individual overcomes adversity through willpower. Through sheer volition to overcome obstacles, the individual may succeed and learn more about oneself.

We admire social and political constructs that allows technology and quality of life to improve. Through development of social sciences, we collectively observe the human spirit in action.
