- 3141: Lantau's "Do You See What I See": Main Points
- ... holiday. On Christmas many families get together to exchange gifts but some families do not feel like that is necessary. Many family values differ from different families. Some families have certain feelings about dating and school. Some parents do not feel like it is necessary for teenagers to date unless they have reached a certain mature age. They feel like this because of what their family has taught them. Also some families do not force their children to go to school because the parents of these children have not been forced to go to school or even finish school. This is just another way that families are different in family values or morals. These are the reasons that I support Kelly Lantau's view of seeing the world around ...
- 3142: Rates of Reaction
- ... particles do not have enough energy to react when they collide. The minimum amount of energy that is needed to break down the bonds is called the activation energy (EA). If the activation energy is high only a small amount of particles will have enough energy to react so the reaction rate would be very small, however, if the activation energy is very low the number of particles with that amount of energy will be high so the reaction rate would be higher. An example of a low EA would be in explosives when they need only a small input of energy to start their exceedingly exothermic reactions. In gases the ... the rate of reaction as the temperature increases. This shows a curve, mainly because our results were inaccurate in a number of ways. This is because the concentration is changed during the experiment because at high temperatures the acid around the magnesium is diluted. If this experiment was accurate it would be also a curve but if you made it into 1/time the result would be a straight line ...
- 3143: Child Abuse
- Child Abuse It was a typical day at work, or so I thought. I was the opening shift at the before-after school program that I work at.

The woman left for work acting as if nothing major had occurred and I was left with a little boy with a huge bruise on his face for his first day at a new school.

Child Protective Services said the report was not ... are abused as children are more likely to marry or be involved with a man who is an abuser. Boys that were victims of abuse are more prone to be violent in their, homes, in school, and on the streets. (Morales) Abused children are arrested by the police four times more often than non-abused children are. (Gelles & Straus) The most important thing we can do to prevent child abuse ...
- 3144: Bacteria Classification By Gram Staining
- ... BIOLOGY FOR ENGINEERS REPORT No.1 Objective: To test a sample of laboratory prepared bacteria and categorise it according to Christians gram positive and gram negative classes and also by viewing it under a high powered microscope and oil immersions; classify its shape and note any special characteristics. Introduction: Bacteria was categorised into two groups in 1884 by the Danish Bacteriologist Christian, gram positive and gram negative by a staining ... a microscope was needed to ensure results. Under the low powered microscope shades of pink were noted. Under the medium power, the shades were more clear but no shape could be made out. Under the high powered microscope clumps of pink rod (bacilli) shaped bacteria cells could be observed. Under Oil Immersion and high powered lens the cells could seen more spaced out and thus a clearer indication of the pink colour, bacilli shape and spores could be made out in the individual cells. Conclusion: The Shape was ...
- 3145: Effects Of The Atomic Bomb
- ... at the other end of the barrel. A conventional explosive is packed behind the second subcritical mass. When the fuse is triggered, a conventional explosion causes the second subcritical mass to be propelled at a high velocity into the first subcritical mass. The resulting combination causes the two subcritical masses to become a supercritical mass. When this supercritical mass is obtained, a rapid self-sustained chain reaction is caused (World Book ... one of two different types of fires, which are created when flammable materials are ignited by the thermal radiation. The first type is called firestorms. A firestorm is violent, has raging winds, and has extremely high temperatures; but fortunately it does not spread very rapidly. The second type is called a conflagration. A conflagration is when the fire spreads in a front (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, 1982 ... rays are electromagnetic radiation originating in the atomic nuclei, physically identical to x-rays. They can enter into living tissue extremely easily. Beta particles are negatively charged particles, identical to an electron moving at a high velocity (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, 1982). These forms of nuclear radiation are measured in rads (radiation-absorbed-dose), which is defined as teh absorption of five ten millionths joule per ...

Little Jimmy, since it was such a wonderful day decided to go to the corner store and buy himself a little treat. As ... started walking over to the store, clouds flocked over the dazzling sun and the sudden pitch dark meant no trouble. On the other side of the road were three white boys from Jimmy's same school. Upon recognizing Jimmy, the boys ran over the street to where he was. "Hey Negro, what's up?", one of the white Boy said.

- ... For Hall Secretary Speech Within the time that I've lawfully lived on Milner, I have come to the realization that this Great Hall and myself share many things in common, among them being a high, generous, and noble spirit. I say Ahigh@ because we are both elevated above all low and vulgar considerations, despising whatever is little and mean, whether in character, council, or conduct.

- ... ready to believe in these statistics and to abandon the deterrence argument. But they defend the death penalty base on other arguments, relying primarily on the need to protect society from killers who are considered high risks for killing again. Incapacitation is another controversial aspect of the death penalty. Abolitionists say condemning a person to death removes any possibility of rehabilitation. They are confident in the life-sentence presenting the possibility ... say the cost of execution has become increasingly expensive and that life sentence is more economical. A study of the Texas criminal system estimated the cost of appealing capital murder at $2,316,655. This high cost includes $265,640 for the trial; $294,240 for the state appeals; $113,608 for federal appeals (over six years); and $135,875 for death row housing. In contrast, the cost of housing a ... is estimated at $750,000. This is a huge amount of taxpayer money but the public looks at it as an investment in safety since these murders will never kill again. Retentionists argue that these high costs are due to "the lengthy time and the high expense result from innumerable appeals, many over technicalities which have little or nothing to do with the question of guilt or innocence, and do ...
