- 6371: Censorship of Books: Freedom of What?
- ... of what drugs do to you and how you can become addicted to them so easily, one student stated in response to the banning of the book. Another student stated, It is about the real world. It is not a book about fiction, and that is what scares people. Ignoring the comments of other students and parents who were also opposed to banning the book, the principal heeded that one complaint ... enough to handle material covered in a class that her child wasn't even enrolled in, the book was banned, which is in violation of the rest of the students' First Amendment Rights. The Chocolate War, a book written by Robert Cormier, was censored in a middle school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. This book has won several literary awards including American Library Associations Best Book for Young Adults. It is about ... who fought for this and all of our rights, the process of censorship is very similar to processes carried out in communist countries. Furthermore, for people to do this, it represents the people of the world's super power to be ignorant "spoiled brats" who don't realize how many people worldwide lack the right to write what ever they want or have the ability to obtain any reading material ...
- 6372: Evolution
- ... produce more offspring than were necessary to replace themselves, leading to the logical conclusion that eventually the earth would no longer be able to support an expanding population. As a result of increasing population however, war, famine and pestilence also increase proportionately, gener ally maintaining comparatively stable population9. Twelve years later, Darwin published a two-volume work entitled The Descent of Man, applying his basic theory to like comparison between the ... received the scientific opportunity of lifetime, when he was invited to take charge f the natural history side of a five year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle, which was to sail around the world, particularly to survey the coast of South America. Darwin's reference material consisted of works of Sir Charles Lyell, a British geologist (he developed a concept termed uniformitarianism which suggested that geological phenomena could be ... straightforward conclusions influence all of his work. When unearthing remains of extinct animals in Argentina he noted that their remains more closely resembled those of contemporary South American mammals than any other animals in the world. He noted "that existing animals have a close relation in form with extinct species", and deduced that this would be expected "if the contemporary species had evolved form South American ancestors" not however, if ...
- 6373: Creation or Evolution?
- ... beings and sink us "into a lower grade of degradation" than any time in recorded history. He was partially correct. The fact that many people think they evolved from monkeys has made morale in the world lower. However, to say that it has been the cause for the decline of society is ridiculous. Yes, war and crime has been higher in this century than in any other, but it is ceartainly not because of the theory of evolution. A theory can not start a war or commit a crime. People can. How can you prove creation or evolution? You can not prove them scientifically. The only one you could prove is creation, because of the Bible. If you believe ...
- 6374: Cloning, Right or Wrong
- ... produced cows by nuclear transfer from more developed embryos in 1994. Dr. First produced four calves. Two years later, Dr. Ian Wilmut and Dr. Keith Campbell, of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh produced for the world Megan and Morag, the first cloned sheep from embryo cells. Their new technique was the starving the donor embryo of the nutrient serum they feed the cells. This would put the cell in the right ... Dr. First had executed the same step, but a laboratory staff member did it accidentally, and Dr. First did not realise the significance of his staff members mistake. Dr. Wilmut and Dr. Campbell became world famous for their successful abilities to clone using nuclear transfer. My view on cloning is that it is good and we should develop it more. It could help with curing diseases, creating donor organs, and ... good than harm. But if it was used just to make clones of people just as spare parts for people then it is bad. It would also be bad if clones were just sent to war as soldiers. I believe that cloning of humans could help mankind infinitely and would be the most significant scientific advance in history.
- 6375: Atomic Structure
- ... carry the electromagnetic force. Some scientists suggest that leptons and quarks may actually be the same object but in different states. Bosons, too, may be this same object but in still another state. The everyday world is made of molecules. Because molecules are so small, their existence was not easy to establish. Indirect evidence for molecules was strong during the second half of the 19th century, and the first explicit evidence ... protons repelled one another electrically. The Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa proposed that a particle named the pion transmitted a strong nuclear force much as the photon transmitted the electromagnetic force. Pions were found shortly after World War II by the British physicist Cecil F. Powell. Molecules are combinations of atoms. Atoms consist of electrons bound to a tiny nucleus by the electromagnetic force. If one atom is put near another, the ...
- 6376: Detrimental Effects That Technological Advances In Industry And Agriculture
- ... capitalism is not a threat to the environment; he indicates that its mechanisms actually encourage decisions that respect environmental values. He evidences that the situation in the United States is exemplary in comparison to third-world counties in South America and in the former USSR. These are interesting observations, but they do not counter the observation made by Barry Commoner in Economic Growth and Environmental Quality: How to Have Both. Commoner ... some lobbying power. Fourth, the reality exists that some companies would be unable to afford the costs of transforming to the designated technology. Commoner offers the suggestion that the money that is used to fund war and preparation for war should be funneled towards the transformation. How this would be practically implemented is not apparent. It is apparent, however, that some policy consistent with the goals of decreasing pollutants and economic growth must be ...
- 6377: Nuclear Power and Its Uses
- Nuclear Power and Its Uses At first nuclear power was only seen as a means of destruction but after World War II a major effort was made to apply nuclear energy to peacetime uses. Nuclear power if made when a nucleus of an atom is split to release a powerful burst of energy. Though technological advancements ... it does not live nor have a mind of it's own. It is the human race that decided that the best way to use this power was to use it as an instrument of war. Nuclear Power should be seen as a positive and humanity can blame no one for its destructive manner but themselves. It was our decision to use it for death, it is now our responsibility ...
- 6378: Water Pollution: Is it as big of a problem as we think?
- Water Pollution: Is it as big of a problem as we think? The following essay will be looking at the factors that cause pollution, and the effect that pollution has on our world today. It will also investigate what it has in store for the future if things do not improve. It will also explore some of the methods used to treat and clean-up wastewater, and oil ... 6700-sq.-km., slick that endangered wildlife and fisheries in the entire gulf area. The oil spills in the Persian Gulf in 1983, during the Iran-Iraq conflict, and in 1991, during the Persian Gulf War, resulted in enormous damage to the entire area, especially to the marine life. One of the methods used to clean up oil spills is a long sponge that they drag along the surface of the ... treatment plant to be treated, but there is nothing wrong with it. In conclusion, From all the points I have brought up it is easy to see that the more people there are in the world the more water pollution there is going to be. That doesn't mean that we have to stop having children, what it means is that we have to start watching where we drain our ...
- 6379: Hydrogen: The Fuel of The Future
- Hydrogen: The Fuel of The Future By: Json Why are we as Americans so afraid to change? even if it is a change for the better? the world has been using oil coal and other petroleum products to power just about everything that moves for the last 150 years. yet most cars in the united states only get 10-20 miles a gallon ... and apply electricity to it and instantly have what you started with. So basically hydrogen is a forever renewable resource that is non-polluting Politically oil is the source of all evil. We went to war for it and said it was for another reason, yeah right. If we where ever to switch suddenly from petroleum to an alternative energy like hydrogen we could expect an immediate political or military threat ... it would be the stock market crash all over again for us also. It will probably take a very dramatic threatening event to make us switch from fossil fuels, like running out of them. The world will eventually realize the potential of hydrogen and put it out there, but it may come very late like when gas will cost 3.95 a gallon but it will happen, it just has ...
- 6380: Nuclear Fusion
- ... Pepsi. I have been able to produce a ten-megaton reaction which as little as a saltine cracker and some grass clippings. But enough about my discoveries. Early in 1989 two electrochemists startled the scientific world by claiming to achieve a room- temperature fusion in a simple laboratory. They had little proof to back up their discovery, and were not credited with their so-called accomplishment. The two scientists were Stanley ... fusion reaction. However, so far cooking with plasma has not been to practical for me. Another approach to fusion pusued since about 1974, is termed inertial confinement. During my many patrols during the Viet..-NAM war, I further developed my theorys and opinions regarding inertial confinement fusion. When I arrived home with a severely hyper-extended earlobe, I was in great pain and suffering, but I still managed to explain ... kind of fusion. The goal on fusion is in effect, to produce and hold a small star. It is a daunting and tedious research which is considered to be of the most advanced in the world. Creating a small dwarf star in a man-made environment has thought to be the highest scientific challenge. Even though last weekend my little brother and I did create several dwarf stars, we were ...
