Back In Time Speed Of Light
829 wordsOften when I look at the stars when I'm in bed at night I shudder to think of my insignificance in the immensity of the Universe. The distances in the Universe are inconceivably huge, so we measure them in light-minutes or light years. A light minute is the distance light travels in one minute, and that's a long way, because light travels through space at 300, 000 km a second. So in a minute it would travel 18, 000, 000 km. The distance of the Sun from the earth is about eight light-minutes whic...

Church In 1963 Freedom Marches Place
440 wordsDudley Randall's Ballad of Birmingham gives a poetic account of the bombing of a Birmingham church in 1963. The poem was written in ballad form to convey the mood of the mother to her daughter. The author also gives a graphic account of what the 1960 's were like. Irony played a part also in the ballad showing the church as the warzone and the freedom march as the safer place to be. Writing the poem in ballad form gave a sense of mood to each paragraph.

Distribution Of Wealth Population Growth
1,690 wordsFurthermore, both authors are failing to include rather important viewpoints into their arguments that ultimately results in the weakening of their chosen position. Dolan argues that population growth when coupled with the technological progress will eventually level off and the problem will more or less disappear.

Afro Cuban Catholic Saints Yoruba
801 wordsThe Yoruba, one of Sub-Saharan Africa's most populous groups, sixteen million strong, live in the Republic of Nigeria. They are heirs to an ancient culture exceptional for its urban density, refinement and complexity.

Analysis Of The Atomic Cafe Documentary 1982
1,226 wordsAnalysis of The Atomic Cafe Documentary (1982) Atomic Cafe can be thought of as the example of a new genre in the field of documentaries. Some critics refer to it as observational grotesque. It is clear that producers strived to expose the sheer futility of duck and cover tactics, when it comes to protecting people from the effects of nuclear explosion. However, Atomic Cafe would never be able to become critically acclaimed, if it was only providing viewers with the historical insight on how did...

Environmental Protection Agency Agent Orange
1,129 wordsDioxin is one of the most toxic chemicals known. A report released for public comment in September 1994 by the US Environmental Protection Agency clearly describes dioxin as a serious public health threat. The public health impact of dioxin may rival the impact that DDT had on public health in the 1960 s. According to the EPA report, not only does there appear to be no " safe" level of exposure to dioxin, but levels of dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals have been found in the general US ...

Nuclear Weapons Human Beings
494 wordsThe stories and events that unfold in John Herseys, Hiroshima, have certainly been eye-openers for me. As a child in middle school and high school I, we have all heard of the atomic bomb and of course of Hiroshima, but never in as much detail or on such a personal level as these stories. Not even in chemistry or physics class, where I learned some of the specifics as to how the bomb works, had I known of the destructive force of the bomb or its gruesome effects on human beings. As I mentioned be...

There were many technological advances in a feud between two countries. However, there were some failures as well. Some Americans gave their lives for the sake of social movement, not to...
