The detonation of a single nuclear bomb or
"warhead" would cause a local disaster on a scale
that few people in the world have seen and
survived. However, it should not be confused with
the effects of a nuclear war, in which many
nuclear bombs would be exploded. That would cause
the end of civilization in the countries
concerned, and perhaps over the whole world, as
well as radioactive contamination of whole
continents, and terrible damage to the environment
and ecology. The effect of a single b...

experience, Chief Tecumseh was a very intelligent
and insightful man. He realized, and refused to
accept that the Native Americans were being
stripped of their lives and lands through
deception and violence. He then took it upon
himself to bring an end to the injustices his
people were being dealt. In his speech to the
Osage Indian tribe, "We all belong to one family,

The Confiscation of Cultural Identity The
intermingling of contradictory cultures is perhaps
nowhere more identifiable to Americans than the
encounter between Native North Americans and the
European settlers. Within this encounter there
exists a close first-hand glimpse of how these
indigenous people lived. These accounts are filled
with personal feelings and biases toward the
native groups. However, within these biases there
arises an interesting incite into not only the
manner by which Native ...

species has grown intellectually and socially, the
standards that constitute beauty have changed to
suit our culture. Females, in particular, are

to represent more of a grim necessity for females
(Hansen & Reed, 1986). I...

Greenland had almost certainly settled briefly in
Newfoundland and may have landed elsewhere on the
coast of North America (Christopher Columbus).
