- 4503: Forbidden Planet Comparison to Shakespeare's The Tempest
- Forbidden Planet Comparison to Shakespeare's The Tempest On first glance, Forbidden Planet can easily be seen to parallel many other works relating to technology, nature, or both. One of the most obvious parallels is, of course, to Shakespeare's The Tempest, the story of a man stranded on an island which he has single-handedly brought under his control through the use of magic. Indeed, the characters, plot, and lesson of Forbidden Planet mirror almost exactly those of The Tempest, with the exception that where The Tempest employs magic, Forbidden Planet utilizes technology. At this point, it is useful to recall one of Arthur C. Clarke's more famous ideas, which is that any technology, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic. Indeed, the technology presented in Forbidden Planet is not meant to be understood by the audience, but rather is, ...

Zellweger. Part of her succcess in this movie, is rooted in her relative anonymity. Had her character been played by a big name actress, like a Gweneth Paltrow or Sara Jessica Parker, the movie wouldn't have been the same.

- ... has demonstrated how money can blind morals like an addiction that is never satisfied. Past lawsuits were mostly unsuccessful because the juries blamed the smoker even though the definition of criminal negligence fits the industry’s acts perfectly.

With many billboards concentrated in small areas it put the idea in children’s minds that smoking was socially acceptable and that the majority of people were smokers. In the Mangini case, the plaintiff’s lawyer’s goal was to show how RJR was desperate to compete with Marlboro for the 14-21 age group so they created the Joe Camel campaign. Even though they blame its success on ...
- 4509: Andrew Carnegie On The Gospel
- ... movement of the British working class that called for the masses to vote and to run for Parliament in order to help improve conditions for workers. The exposure to such political beliefs and his family's poverty made a lasting impression on young Andrew and played a significant role in his life after his family immigrated to the United States in 1848. Andrew Carnegie amassed wealth in the steel industry after immigrating from Scotland as a boy. He came from a poor family and had little formal education. The roots of Carnegie's internal conflicts were planted in Dunfermline, Scotland, where he was born in 1835, the son of a weaver and political radical who instilled in young Andrew the values of political and economic equality. His family's poverty, however, taught Carnegie a different lesson. When the Carnegies emigrated to America in 1848, Carnegie determined to bring prosperity to his family. He worked many small jobs which included working for the Pennsylvania ...
- 4510: Magnatism & the Things We Think We Know About It!
- ... five. What we learned from this is that with every extra coil we placed around the compass the motion that the interaction of the two magnetic fields caused increased. These magnetic feilds being the earth's and the coils. What this means is that not only does electicity create a magnetic field but that there is a direct relationship between the amount of current and the strength of the magnetic field ... data we collected in the lab when we see that as the measured currents went up the amount of motion went up which mathmaticly indicates that the magnetic field strength went up. But we don't only find this equation but we also find that as the current (or more so the magnetic field it creates) acts upon the initial magnetic field of the earth we get the motion in the ... when the lines of flux are created they repel from the north end of the compass in a certain direction (depending on which way the charge is moving). This can be explained by our experiment's data in part one also because as we introduced the current to the earth's magnetic field we found that it created the motion on the compass. This all agrees with the left hand ...
