- 27053: Angina Pectoris
- ... they do not die, but maybe weakened. If left untreated and the disease continues, a serious condition known as myocardial infraction or commonly called a heart attack may occur. This can severely damage the heart's functionality. Which in turn effects our well being. We should be educated about the risks that go along with our cardiovascular system. The most common cause of the condition angina pectoris is over consumption of ... pressure. This can further increase the risk of a heart attack since the heart has to work harder to achieve a homeostatic state. Therefore the heart is working with less efficiency. For example a runner's heart may beat 64 times a minute. A person with hypertension heart rate may be 98. The runner's heart is working with more efficiency; therefore it does not need to beat as fast as the person with hypertension. The person with hypertension has a high heart rate since it cannot pump as ...
- 27054: The Ironies Of 1984
- ... the first example of this irony is discovered when the main character, Winston Smith, uses the "Memory hole" to deposit things -- one would think that this would be where things are remembered ("Memory"), but it's actually an incinerator. The next example of irony comes when you learn about the departments of Government in Oceania. The Ministry of Truth is actually the maker of lies for the history books, the Ministry ... seen in the name of the leader of Oceania, "Big Brother." The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear. The next type of irony is Situation irony, which is when a character or a sequence of events appears to be headed one way, but it ends up as the opposite of what was thought. One example of this is Winston's general health. From the beginning of the book, it is shown how horrible his health is and is continually getting worse and more difficult, but as Winston gets involved with Julia then he begins ...

Genetic engineering gives today s researchers considerable advantages in plant breeding programs. ·Predictability Scientist can identify the specific gene for a given trait, make a copy of that gene for insertion into a plant, and be certain that only the ... of Medicinal Food found that concentrations of beneficial phytoestrogen compounds thought to protect against heart disease and cancer were lower in genetically modified soybeans than in traditional strains. These and other studies, including Dr. Pusztai s, indicate that genetically engineered food will likely result in foods lower in quality and nutrition.

- 27056: The Crucible 3
- ... in Salem, Massachusetts in the early sixteen hundreds was a time of uneasiness and suspicion. Anyone could easily turn in his or her neighbor on the ground of witchcraft. Someone could merely say their neighbor's spirit had attacked them during the night, which no man can prove. Nevertheless, as a God-fearing community, they could not think of denying the evidence, because to deny the existence of Evil is to ... the insanity of the town, for himself and for God, and using that as a last resort to make people aware of what was happening. This last stand for righteousness is an example of proctor's great character and rationale. Arthur Miller wrote his play, The Crucible, a story about the Salem witch trials, and the panic resulting from it, as an allegory to show people the insanity of the McCarthy hearings. He wrote it as an allegory so that, if tried by McCarthy, he could say, "it's just a play about the witch trials in Salem. How do you get this communist idea from it?" The story illustrates how people react to mass hysteria, created by a person or group of ...

(p 57)” Later Smith states that “The primary factors affecting a legislator’s voting record are personal ideology, party affiliation, and constituent wishes—not contributions. Another argument is that when asked, reformers cannot name the corrupt politicians. I also believe that none of our government officials would change ... Of course not: the NRA supports Gramm because he opposes gun control. (p 57)” The last reason I do not think campaign finance should be reformed is that the money is beneficial to the person’s campaign. Smith has a quote from the Rockefeller Institute of Government saying, “Having money means having the ability to be heard…(p 56)” One point that Smith makes that I agree with is that with ... the candidates would have to depend on the media, who is often more negative that the contestants. All in all, I believe the money used is needed to campaign nationally and to get the candidate’s message to the people. Groups that agree with the politician support them, the politician does not reform his/her beliefs to the group. I believe we need to have confidence in our elected officials ...
- 27058: The Dead: A Necessary Introduction
- The Dead: A Necessary Introduction James Joyce’s The Dead opens with an annual get together of family and friends. Some readers question the necessity of this opening sequence. Most of the characters have little or no significance to the final result of ... The same type of apathy is shown while he gives his speech. The narrator lets us know that Gabriel is content that Miss Ivors looked bad by leaving the party early, "It shot through Gabriel’s mind that Miss Ivors was not there and that she had gone away discourteously" (Joyce, 204). Joyce definitely provides plenty of insight into Gabriel’s character, allowing the reader to create an opinion for himself or herself. Many members of the class feel that the long introduction is unnecessary, and that the story could begin at the staircase when ...
