Abstract
This paper identifies gender roles displayed in the Bible and in what ways they are prone to misinterpretation, then connects those misinterpretations to the justification of harmful gender roles in modern society. Specifically, this paper outlines how it led to the exacerbation of toxic masculinity in history and modern society. This paper additionally serves to display how the misunderstanding of certain scriptures in the Bible is harmful to both religious and nonreligious people and to call to attention the effects of allowing these misinterpretations to roam freely on the Christian population in America.

Abstract
This paper addresses African American English (AAE) and how its past rejection as a language reflects racial discrimination. The questions discussed are whether AAE fits the requirements for a language in terms of exigence and grammar and if the speakers of AAE are what triggered the public to refuse to accept AAE as a language. This essay responds to the ongoing issue of racial discrimination in contemporary society and the recent debate surrounding the formal status of AAE. Accumulative research on this topic has yielded a written history of when the language was created, which supports its necessity in formation and has linguistically proven evidence that the AAE has a complex and proper grammatical structure. This contributes to the conclusion that AAE was not accepted merely because of the discrimination towards its users. The following sections will delve deeper into the historical context of African-American English (AAE) and examine how its rejection as a legitimate language has deep-rooted implications for racial discrimination.

Abstract
DNA computing has grown in public interest in recent years due to computational and biological advancements that enable it to potentially revolutionize both the field of information processing and medical science. DNA computing leverages the unique molecular properties of DNA to perform computations at a nanoscale level, promising to enhance computational efficiency while minimizing energy consumption dramatically. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent literature and case studies, this paper will review how DNA computing partially solved the Hamiltonian path problem alongside recent advancements and applications of DNA computing technology.

Abstract
The paper discusses the effect of the Korean War, specifically on the economy of the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). There are historical and social factors to consider when delving into why the ROK became one of the world’s major economic powers while the DPRK became riddled with immense poverty. The Korean War was not only a domestic battle but an international conflict, and the results of the Cold War and the biggest power of the international community also played a hand in the economic gap. This paper focuses specifically on the historical context of the world before, during, and after the Korean War and how the two sides of Korea responded to it.
