Decrease In Glaciers

Decent Essays
The research topic I have chosen is the decrease in glaciers and the affects it has had on the world today and in the past. The retreat of glaciers has been an increasing issue, since the 19th century. Dating back to 1850, is when different countries around the world began to see a change in global warming which brought concerns surrounding the ice caps. From Europe, all the way to North America and in between, mountain ranges and ice caps have been affected. Slowly, but surely with spikes of global temperature rising over the years you can see a significant change.

    The application of color and paint in a piece creates a noticeable surface texture within the work. This surface texture can be used to enhance the general chaos or conversely the straightforwardness of a work.

On the other hand in Kingstein’s Christ in a Pawn Shop the surface texture…

    The area of my topic for my Capstone Project is the environment and the United States should stop the production of the North Dakota Access Pipeline.

The pipeline will be placed through the Standing Rock Sioux land, which is in North Dakota, and the pipeline would affect their only water supply if the pipeline spills. I chose this area because the media doesn't show what is happening in North Dakota and I want people to be informed about what is going on in our country and stand with Standing Rock to end this battle.…

    My topic is over The Oregon Trail, it was a 2,200-mile east-west trail that served as a critical transportation route for emigrants traveling from Missouri to Oregon and other points west during the mid-1800s. Travelers were inspired by dreams of gold and rich farmlands, but they were also motivated by difficult economic times in the east and the diseases like yellow fever and malaria that were decimating the Midwest around 1836. The Oregon Trail began in St. Louis, Missouri, in early spring to begin the four- to six-month trek. This would be the last big city most would visit. Settlers loaded wagons and supplies onto steamships to travel 200 miles upstream on the Missouri River, departing when the river began heading north.…

    There are two main viewpoints on any environmental issue, the modernist perspective and the neo-traditionalist perspective. The two perspectives greatly contrast each other, as they take completely opposite sides of the argument in any environmental issue. This was represented in the lecture by Professor Mark Boyer about Considering Environmental Values. For the purpose of this essay, I will specifically be talking about the issue of Climate change, and how both perspectives view this environmental issue. The modernist perspective consists of the optimists, they conclude that our continuous technological advancement is key to future success and will bring about solutions to any problems.…
