Bakken Formation

workers face to go to work as a result of hydraulic fracking is analogous to children in school. If there is a child who gets sick and does not attend school, they will not receive the important information covered in class. The same situation goes for workers living in fracking areas and how they are late to work due to detours from damaged roads. In other words, if workers are late or unable to commute to work, they will not be able to collect income to support their families. In turn, businesses will suffer because consumers will be unable to go out to buy goods and services and the local economy will not flourish. To further develop and add on to this concept of the local economy suffering, the Stanford Law Journal depicts that, “In the Bakken Shale oil region, the number of highway accidents went up 68% from 2006-2010”(Katrien 84). To put into perspective, the corroded roads lead to the increase in percentage of accidents people face. One must conduct a marginal analysis of the costs and benefits of the number of deaths versus the profit made from fracking. In simpler terms, risk assessors conduct marginal analysis tests in situations which leave companies in difficult situations or circumstances. Companies will examine all the total benefits of fracking such as the low cost to extract natural gas, the lower “environmental damage”, and the total revenue it brings in. In addition, companies will compare these pros to the costs such as possible deaths accidents, lawsuits…

According to the sad person chart Juan is experiencing high amounts of depression. He scored seven points which encourages me to hospitalize the him even if it is involuntary. The way I concluded the sum of points was by the chart. Juan is male which makes it a higher risk that resulted in one point. His age falls between 18 years and 55 years that also makes him a higher risk, and another point was added. In the first sentence it states that he is depressed adding another point. Although, he…

Throughout my adolescence, my identity has been developed in many ways by many different factors. Early on in adolescence, I was very impressionable and got aspects of my identity from others however when I entered crisis my identity developed. James Marcia classifies identity development in adolescence into four stages and I believe I passed through all of them to get to where I am today (Marcia pp401). Early on in adolescence, I had no sense of direction; however, I found my identity through…

In the story “Bird of Paradise: How I became Latina” by Raquel Cepeda, begins with a title that drives the readers mind into a flowing photo of nature. From just reading part of the title, it can be interpreted that the author depicts herself as a free animal. A flying animal, that comes from a place described as a paradise or an ideal place as some will call it; which as Cepeda explains, “paradise is a state of being, more than just the name of a suburb or a home.” In the first paragraph,…

He immediately makes this known in the first paragraph of Chapter 1 where he states, “Spiritual formation is the task of the church. Period. … Spiritual formation is at the heart of its whole purpose for existence.(15)” Wilhoit then goes on to provide the reader with a definition of Spiritual formation, “Christian spiritual formation refers to the intentional communal process of growing in our relationship with God and becoming conformed to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit (26)”,…

Reflection 2 Having kids is something that not till recently I have discovered I wanted. I never thought about how the smallest factors, such as cartoons, can impact their persona greatly. For example, when Professor Ermitte showed the whole class a picture of her adorable daughter and then told us a story about how when she told her daughter to pick the pretty doll she picked the blonde one over the brunette. This complete shocked me because what has made this young girl think that the blond…

It was neat and odd observing people around my own age. It made me think about my own interactions and development as I was observing others. Starbucks is a common meetings place and study location for college students. Even though the majority of the people there were college students, some were adults. I paid attention how their behaviors differed from those of the college students. As I observed I noticed that of the groups it was mainly groups of all guys or all girls. I found this…

This sheds a great light on the modes of identity formation that varies on its own existing spaces, e.g. online and offline identity. Sherry Turkle (1995) supports that people experience identity in modern age as a set of roles that can be mixed and matched. She adds that in postmodern times, multiple identities are not regarded at the margins of things. Postmodernism also views consumption as a passive act, when every product is mass-produced and rehashed a thousand times before, the new…

Blake Smith Mr. Engstrom Physics May 8, 2017 Eta Carinae The Eta Carinae, previously known as Eta Argus, has a luminosity five million times greater than the suns. The Eta Carinae has two stars and for examples we will name them η Car 1 and η Car 2. η Car 1 has a mass of about ~100 to 200 solar masses, which equals about 1.99 × 1030 in kilograms. η Car 1 also has a 60 to 800 solar radius, which is 6.957 00 × 108 meters. η Car 1 has a 5,000,000 Luminosity. η Car 1 has a temperature of 9,400…

The future is scary; you’re expected to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life, move out of your parents house, go to school or get a job, find a life partner, and create a family of your own. Trying to figure out what you want to be as an adult in just a matter of four years is tough. Going to school, having a job, homework, a social life? Managing to have all of those is nearly impossible to me at this point but somehow I manage. I’m currently a junior in high school, the…
