Yes the ph of solutions certainly is a real thing, battery acid has a very low ph, while toilet bowl cleaner is caustic (alkaline). But if you are talking about diet stuff like I'm seeing alkaline water being sold, well I'm not convinced the idea has any real substance.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
