Bing Crosby's Idea Of A 'White Christmas'

Improved Essays
Today, we have lovely weather in December; we have the breeze flowing smoothly, a crisp smell in the air, and the flowers beginning to bloom once again. The idea of a "white Christmas" as sung by Bing Crosby, has been forgotten from the minds of those in cities who have previously had blizzards and tons of snow in their yards every year during the winter. In the South, there are free pools in people's basements caused by rain, while California has turned into the Sahara Desert by lack of it. In Chicago, we have icy days one day, and the next day it’s as if it is summer.
A trick we have mainly used is relying on governments to take the action on these climate conflicts. However, the government has always chooses to ignore it and the conflict

    One of the great things about technology is that it saves more lives then we will ever know. Many lives took tolls before technology because we couldn’t sense anything like we do now. We can now see where storms will hit before they’re even a week old and we can announce the news so anybody in danger can seek shelter elsewhere out of the storm’s path. With the technology we have today, we could have prevented many people killed during the storm on Armistice Day. The loss of lives because of the blizzard that hit on Armistice Day back in 1940 could have been, in more ways than one, prevented based how advanced the technology was at the time.…

    Photographed in the winter of 1940 by Marion Walcott, “Snowy Night” was taken in the center of town in Woodstock, Vermont. The center of town is well-lit by the soft light emitted from the street lamps; displaying the lack of people out on this “Snowy Night.” While it is unable to definitively deduce from the snow-covered cars that line the block, the lack of people is certainly aided by the cold temperatures and closed businesses. Topic sentence. The first thing that catches one’s eye in this photo is the nearest streetlight because of the contrast between the streetlight and the night sky.…

    For the duration of the winter months, people tend to develop habits specific the season. They make attempts to hide themselves under their thick covers in the icy mornings to avoid having to leave them behind. They put on a few, or perhaps more than a few, pounds to insulate their cold bones. Bitter or melancholy moods set in to reflect the weather. In Margaret Atwood’s poem, “February”, she makes use of similes and metaphors to compare humans to animals in order to emphasize her gloomy, apathetic tone in her discussion of human survival during the winter months.…

    It has been difficult for Australian politicians to enforce an efficient policy on the matter as it entails a direct assault on the modern industrialised economy and therefore states like Australia have incentives to avoid enforcement. It is furthermore irrational for Australia to act on climate change, without cooperation from the great emitters as Australia’s efforts will have no effect on the global total, thus any action on climate change by Australia will simply cause damage to the country. The issue has become more complicated with the high degree of climate change denial that is embedded within Australian culture and is encouraged by Australian leaders. It is therefore difficult to solve the issue and come to a collective agreement when competing national interests divide the international community, in which the problem will only be resolved when states identify their own national interest with a healthy global…

    While analyzing historical texts, one should always proceed with caution, and read tentatively; specifically, due to misinterpretations, false translations, and basic human error, verbal speeches delivered in previous centuries tend to succumb to inaccuracies, which leads to false transcripts of the actual work. Despite this, one can still appreciate the words of Chief Seattle, the Native American chieftain of the Suquamish tribe, in his speech Address, which was presented to the European settlers in America circa 1854. In his speech, Chief Seattle presents his beliefs concerning the white settlers wishing to purchase his tribe’s land in order to create modern cities and European infrastructure. In return for access to their land, the settlers…
