- ... be diverted from its true purpose that it may violate property instead of protecting it then everyone will want to participate in making the law, to protect their selves. There is no country in the world where the law is kept more within its domain (the protection of every person s liberty and property) than here in America (ACLU). As a consequence of this, there appears to be no country in the world where the social order rests on a former foundation. However, even in the United States the public peace is endangered.

- 9913: Embracing The Change
- ... fiction novel? A scientist s unrealistic fantasy? Maybe something that could happen in 500 years? That may be what many of you believe. But right now, these miracles are happening in laboratories all over the world. The first Genetic Engineering technique, still used today, was the selective breeding of plants and animals, usually for increased food production. In selective breeding only animals with desirable characteristics are chosen for further breeding. Though ... in the past, they are actually hit and miss cases with little chance of success. Through Biotechnology, breeders choose specific genes. Breeders can also incorporate genes from an unrelated species, giving an animal or plant new features the previously wouldn t be available. This system is faster, more exact, cheaper and less likely to fail than traditional methods. Plants can now be engineered to be resistant to pesticides, insects, and diseases ... would press for a complete ban. But the potential benefits of genetic technology far outweigh the potential risks. I believe in a position of critical support, which reflects the suspicious optimism most people around the world have toward genetic technology. In rural Oklahoma, these ideas do seem fictitious. But the benefits for local farmers and ranchers are obvious. Many long time farmers may be incredulous to such changes, but I ...

- ... as he or she is talking. l feel this is good because listener to the information can have something to communicate it with.

(Caroselli 1990, 176) This is very effective, because people are interested in the real world, and not just fabricated examples. To become an effective leader you must take risks. You must not take wild, uncalculated risks however, but planned out, calculated risks, which will have a modest chance of succeeding ... goals for the organization.

The main principle behind all of Gandhi's teachings is the concept of Satyagraha (Sharp 1973 76), or non-violence, the lens through which he viewed the world.

- 9918: Comparison of Lord of The Flies and All Quiet on The Western Front
- ... savage animal. Perhaps the bet demonstration of this given by Golding is Jack's progression to the killing of the sow. Upon first landing on the island Jack, Ralph, and Simon go to survey their new home. Along the way the boys have their first encounter with the island's pigs. They see a piglet caught in some of the plants. Quickly Jack draws his knife so as to kill the ... first things that the boys do is establish the choir as an army or a group of hunters. Another of the criticisms of orderly society comes when Ralph asks for a sign from the adult world. Ralph does receive his sign in the form of a dead parachute shot down in an air battle above the island. This can be interpreted as saying that the savagery existent in man is even shown in the so called "civilized" world through acts of war. Golding clearly sees war as an action of destruction caused by man because of his inherently feral nature. While Golding views man as a brutal creature whose vile traits are ...
- 9919: Fiberoptics
- ... century B.C. (Sobel 1) Because of its flexibility and comparatively low cost (to copper cable), fiber optic-systems are now being used in almost every situation in everyday life.

Recently though, technology has started to catch up and the uses of fiber optics are numerous. Fortunately for ... known today as a laser. (IFO 3). Along with Bell's invention of the Photophone, Charles Vernon Boys was developing a way to make long, thin fibers of glass for use in communications systems during World War I. He did not devise a practical way to put his fibers into effect. In 1934, Norman R. French, of AT&T, patented an "optical telephone system" that could carry voice signals on beams ... Fiber optics may be used to link electronic operations in engines. However, the fibers currently available can't withstand the heat generated by today's engines. Perhaps by redesigning engines, and with the invention of new materials, fiber optics will play an important role in engines as well. (Fales, Kuetemeyer, Brusic 405) The most widely used use of fiber optics in medicine is in the endoscope. It is used for ...
- 9920: Global Warming
- ... All of these activities are unfavorably altering the composition of the biosphere and the Earth's heat balance. If we do not slow down our use of fossil fuels and stop destroying, the forests, the world could become hotter than it has been in the past million years. Average global temperatures have risen 1 degree Fahrenheit over the last century. If carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases continue to spill into ... next century. The warning will be the greatest at the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, with the largest temperature rises occurring in winter. Most areas will experience summertime highs well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. New temperature records will be set each year. As a possible prelude to global warming, the decade of the 1980's has had the six hottest years of the century (Erandson 18-22). Atmospheric disturbances brought ... species to become extinct. Weeds and pests could overrun much of the landscape. Since life controls the climate to some extent, it is uncertain what long-term effects a diminished biosphere will have on the world as a whole. It is becoming more apparent, however, that as man continues to squander the Earth's resources, the climate could change in such a way that it is no longer benevolent to ...
