1,377 words

newly-invented radar played in the Second World
War. People hailed it then as "Our Miracle Ally."
But even in its earliest years, as it was helping
win the war, radar proved to be more than an
expert enemy locator. Radar technicians, doodling

focus a radar beam on a marshmallow and toast it.
They also popped popcorn with it. Such was the
beginning of microwave cooking. The very same
energy that warned the B...

Fear And In Las Vegas

After both reading and watching Fear and Loathing
In Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, I have come to
realize that the story follows the mythic journey.
The mythic journey is the basis for nearly every
story ever told. The mythic or heroes journey
usually begins in the heros ordinary world. Next

Before leaving to go on a journey the hero meets
with a mentor. Now the hero must cross the first
threshold, thi...

There are a lot of discussion about capital
punishment nowadays. But it should be pointed that
there are many facts that determine personal
attitude towards it. One of them is for sure a
type of society. At present principles of
democratic society have been taken as the basis
for evaluation all pros and cons. Some people
think that the death penalty will deter criminals
from killing. They are sure that a murderer when
breaks out of jail will kill or injure someone.
They are for public safety. Bu...

Civil Liberties And Rights

Civil Liberties and Rights We live in time when
many people in Western countries began to think
that protection of their civil rights could not be
considered as their existential priority,
especially after events of 9 / 11. By doing this,
they commit transgression against the metaphysical
essence of democracy, as socio-political system,
which enabled cultural and scientific progress, up
until now. Homo sapiens is a social being, which
implies that it can only realize its full

Ruling Elite Ordinary Citizens

Political Science We live in time when more and
more people, throughout the world, doubt the
effectiveness of democracy. They realize that the
political processes in democratic countries are
defined by the power balance between those in
charge, rather than by the will of ordinary
citizens. The political theories of Walter Lippman
and Samuel Popkin represent the conservative
opinion about the nature of political process.
