Words are early modern advertising began to feature eroticismpowerful beyond measure, but they hold different meanings for each person.
With that truth in mind, Save the Children — an international organization that fights for children's rights – enlisted the help of Dictionary.com to show how definitions can vary under different circumstances.

The 15% of children in the world affected by war -- in places like Syria, Afghanistan, and Somalia -- encounter dangerous challenges that have a major impact on their housing situations, family members, education, and leisure activities.
