- 1221: Vladimir Ilyich Lenin 2
- ... he learned until he fully understood them. (Wolfenstein, pg 110) He had to remove any doubts from his own mind before he applied them in debate or speech. This would make him look completely under control and more powerful in the public eye. In 1893 he moved to St. Petersburg to enter himself into the revolutionary centre of thinking. He expected action and organization and was disappointed. However, he was still ... the Bolsheviks believed that the time was conducive to revolution. (Whiteman, interview) Much to the dismay of the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionists in October of the same year backed by overwhelming support the Bolsheviks took control. "The October Revolution was the most mass, representative and popular of all the revolutions ever experienced by mankind. Not only did it not infringe the will of the people, on the contrary it reflected this ... in the year had his second stroke and was never really the same again. After his second stroke he tried to set up a "system of deputation," so that no one person could be in control when he died or could no longer continue his work. (Wolfenstein, pg 258) Unfortunately for Lenin and his followers counter-revolution had begun. Famine and the war had killed many of the working class ...
- 1222: Breast Cancer
- ... of higher mass respectively. This research lended itself to the assumption that cumulative exposure to estrogen may play part in breast cancer. Other hormonal factors have been viewed as potential breast cancer causing agents. Birth control pills are thought by some to lead to breast cancer. Early birth control pills used much more estrogen and progesterone than today's pills, and therefore could cause cancer. Lots of contradictory results were found in research of the pill because women who have been taking it for ... reiterated by many in the health field today one needs a maximum of only 20% of overall calories from fat sources. Epidemiology experiments are hard to perform on humans because it is extremely hard to control a human's whole life diet. Therefore, it is much easier to compare cultures of peoples which tend to determine the food intake of those people. In Iceland, the diet tends to be derived ...
- 1223: Genetic Engineering: A Leap In To The Future Or A Leap Towards Destruction
- ... method, called polymerase chain reaction, allows for faster replication of DNA strands and does not require the use of vectors (Clarke 1). Viewpoint 1 The possibilities of genetic engineering are endless. Once the power to control the instructions, given to a single cell, are mastered anything can be accomplished. For example, insulin can be created and grown in large quantities by using an inexpensive gene manipulation method of growing a certain ... disease-causing bacteria" (Stableford 61). Much success has already been obtained by treating animals with a "phage" designed to attack the E. coli bacteria (Stableford 60). Diseases caused by viruses are much more difficult to control than those caused by bacteria. Viruses are not whole organisms, as bacteria are, and reproduce by hijacking the mechanisms of other cells. Therefore, any treatment designed to stop the virus itself, will also stop the ... proof that such a procedure is possible one only needs to examine an early embryo and realize that it knows whether to turn itself into an ostrich or a human. After learning the procedure to control and activate regeneration, genetic engineering will be able to conquer such ailments as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other crippling diseases without grafting in new tissues. The broader scope of this technique would allow ...

- 1225: The Effect of Viewing Television Violence on Childhood Aggression
- ... as an important source of imitative behavior. Children were divided and then exposed to four different aggression models. A real-life aggression condition, a human film- aggression condition, a cartoon film-aggression condition, and a control group. The results showed that exposure to humans on film portraying aggression was the most influential in eliciting aggressive behavior. Subjects in this condition, in comparison to Aggression the control subjects, exhibited more aggression and more imitative aggression. Subjects who viewed the aggressive human and cartoon models on film exhibited almost twice as much aggression as subjects in the control group. These results provide strong evidence that exposure to filmed aggression heightens aggressive reactions in children (Bandura et al. 1963a). These results add to the conclusion that viewing violent television produces aggressive behavior. But, ...
- 1226: Nuclear Power
- ... takes place. The Uranium is contained in fuel rods, each rod is sealed so no contamination occurs. Many of these rods are then contained in a fuel assembly. All the fuel assemblies are separated by control rods. The control rods limit the amount of fission taking place by the use of Boron, an element that absorbs neutrons. If the control rod is inserted, it collects the neutrons from the fissioning atoms, which slows down or stops fission taking place in the reactor. There commonly are 300 to 600 fuel assemblies in one reactor (Michio, ...
- 1227: Michel Foucault And The Cultiv
- ... He believed that our conception of ourselves as subjects depends on controlling or excluding whole classes of people who do not fit our Enlightened category of normal. The same devices we use to understand and control these marginalized groups are also essential to understanding and controlling normal individuals. This practice is always executed by power. Therefore, who we are is itself the result of the exercise of this power. In this ... what something is to have power over it, just as to know something is to have power over it. Knowledge, therefore, is power. Though power comes through individuals, most often it is not under their control. Power creates subjects; it is not exercised by them. Efforts to rationalize or humanize power only result in an exercise of new forms of it by creating new ways of knowing what subjects are. New forms of both power (control) and knowledge go together. However, the subject or individual does not disappear, but his determined unity is called into question. Foucault never denied that the subject exists, although he sometimes fictionalized the self in ...
- 1228: Napoleon 3
- ... attacks such as his attack on and defeat in Italy against Austria and his battle and defeat in Egypt against the Turks. After Napoleon s defeats in Egypt he returned to France where he seized control of the French government in November 1799. After ten years of revolution the French wanted a strong leader like Napoleon. After all the years of turmoil the French people had went through, Napoleon was now ... people look back at Napoleon s leadership they think of all the needless wars and lives that were lost due to his obsession with power. Today, people would not want to live under the strict control of any form of government like dictatorship. When many people think of this form of government they are very cautious because with dictatorship comes a very restricted life. People do not want any one individual to have all the power because bad decisions are made sometimes and the people have to pay. People would rather have control of their own government instead of it having control of them.
- 1229: Ehrlich's Population Bomb
- ... resources will soon be depleted. Ehrlich uses historical population research to lead to the conclusion that in 90 years the population could be well over the earths carrying capacity. In third world countries where population control is rarely used population, pollution, and scarcity are becoming ever increasing problems. Roughly 40% of the population in third world countries are children 15 years or older. Ehrlich explains that if population growth continues at ... Ehrlich uses the DDT as an example of how pesticides have actually comeback to damage the ecosystem they were meant to protect. DDT a pesticide used frequently in the middle part of the century to control mosquitos and other like pests, has been found to be a carcinogen and very dangerous to human life. Traces of this chemical have been found at such bizzare places as in pengiuns in Antarctica and ... of India soared to over 500 million and the growth rate more than doubled to 3%. Ehrlich states quite emphatically, "In fact, I know of no country in the world that has achieved true population control through family planning." The other solution Ehrlich examines the probability of the producing more food and other materials to maintain a larger population. Ehrlich starts by saying that this is basically non-sense, the ...
- 1230: Violence: Children Who Own The Streets
- ... to know what's going with juveniles, it's very important to listen to what they say. That's why you will hear their voices. On his fifth birthday, Mark's father gave him a gun. And this is what Mark ( 16 yrs. old) from Massachusetts says, "That was his thing-----we all had to learn how to shoot when we turned five years old . He made me go to Karate ... every year if guns were not available to the public? If criminals and hostile people only had hands and fists and knives to attack people, surely, only a small percentage of the current 24,000 gun homicides would actually occur. The five children killed in Stockton, California, school yard by Patrik Purdy, or the massacre of 22 people killed at Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, would not have happened if guns were not available. It is estimated that about one half of the households in the United States have at least one gun and that typical gun owner is fairly educated member of the middle class. And this is what causes their juveniles to have easy access to guns. They see the guns and their curiosity makes ...
