According to Merriam-Webster online, love is defined as: “a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person, attraction that includes sexual desire, the strong affection felt by people who have a romantic relationship, a person you love in a romantic way.” However love has played a big role in the sharing of human existence.

Education makes a difference Education makes the biggest impact to a person and to the world itself. One 's education could probably be the most important decision in his or her life. One can safely assume that someone is not in the proper position until they are educated. as said by Welson Mandela, “ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Some people take this quote as the inspiration and take it to the highest level. Others only focus on finishing the minimum
Global big business is the most powerful force for improving labor standards in developing countries. Discuss. In their insatiable hunt for increased profits, large corporations have developed an increasingly global presence. This presence exists to facilitate both the import and export of goods and reflects the fact that for many companies, potential customers are no longer restricted to the domestic market. Advancements in communications and logistics have rendered geographical distance between
have heard of the atomic bomb, but we never experienced what would happen when detonated. Would we survive or would we all face a deadly fate? The atomic bomb is the most deadly weapon in the world. Many countries have atomic and nuclear bombs. Including China, France, Israel, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States. Nuclear weapons are spreading to other nations and international relations are becoming increasingly violate. In my work I will discuss the history of the bomb, from the dropping
Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” As citizens of the United States of America we are very lucky to have access to a free education. There are many things we take for granted when it comes to education, however there are also many things that we can improve on, when it comes to education. In high schools across the globe (including West Ottawa High School) there are many things that can be improved upon. Many students often recognize
Have nuclear weapons reduced the number of worldwide conflicts? The correlation between nuclear weapons and world stability has been a controversial topic and the subject of heated discussions in recent years – there is a growing widespread belief that nuclear weapons create a more secure world by preventing hostilities from escalating. However, while nuclear weapons certainly do bring positive aspects, there is a good amount of evidence to suggest that they might not discourage but actually increase
“Why Byzantine economy remained one of the most powerful in Europe through Early Middle Ages?” The Byzantine cconomy was one of the largest systems throughout Europe and the Mediterannean for many centuries. Both local and international trade were of huge importance for the Byzantine Empire. Lower class, including traders, depended on the upper class. Their need of the foreign goods in order to stay in Local trade was much less popular. Throughout the fourth and sixth centuries, long-distance trade
Teachers “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” A great leader Nelson Mandela stated this. Education is tremendously valuable and plays a large part in today’s society. The ability to learn and grow as a person is something people should never take advantage of, however they do it on a daily basis. The ability to attend school and get an education today is under-appreciated in society, which makes the profession of teaching in the United States an get underpaid
an assignment on love i presumed that it wouldn 't be difficult to understand. Yet love is so complex it has different meaning and it can be said in different tones which give it a stronger or lesser affect. Love is defined as strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties but it can also be defined as attraction based on sexual desire. So to find the different views on how love is portrayed I used several sources to help narrow down the true meaning of love. The goal was not
“ Love” is the most romantic, powerful and meaningful to each human being on the earth, but what exactly is the meaning of “ love” ? Some say love is a streak of sunshine to light the darkness; some say love is an umbrella to keep them away from sadness; some say love is the fountain of happiness; in addition, a speaker , Phaedrus , who is from the book “ Plato’s Symposium”, said that “ Love is one of the most ancient gods”(This is a quote from the book, p873). Indeed, every creature on the earth
Weapons and Artillery of World War II The result of World War II was affected by many different factors. One major factor which affected the war was the weapons and artillery used during the war. Since the beginnings of time, weapons have always been around. From swords and knives to nuclear weapons and missiles, weapons have evolved greatly throughout the years. The weapons and artillery used in World War II basically were evolved types of weaponry that were used during World War I (Military
Caitlin Johnson Mrs. Pietrantonio English 12- 3 28 October 2015 Concealed Weapon Research Paper Imagine being in a building and finding out there is a gunman present. Wouldn’t you feel safer having a weapon to protect yourself or the others that are in attendance? Media often times shows only the bad in people owning concealed weapons, instead of showing the positives that they can a achieve.Guns, when used properly and appropriately, can serve as a form of protection and have saved many people
Weapons Accountability in the Military The history of weapons started centuries ago when cave people initially developed a weapon called a bow and arrow, for hunting purposes. They created this weapon from yew or elm for the bow and the arrow’s shaft, and used animal ligaments, or sinew to add tension to the bow. Archeologists have also found arrow heads made of sharp rocks and angled bones from different types of animals. These artifacts are all over the world displayed beautifully in museums
Why So Many Nuclear Weapons? As of 2014, only two nuclear weapons have been used in the course of warfare, both times where by the United States near the end of World War II. August 6th 1945, the first atomic bomb code-named "Little Boy" was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on August 9th, the second atomic bomb code-named "Fat Man" detonated over the Japanese city of Nagasaki. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 civilians and military
non-living object(. love for objects which nearly can be also an addiction.). That feeling is love. Love is felt in different intensities; it may consume your whole being, or perhaps it’s just a little crush, but sometimes it can be people and it’s when it is not shared. Some people search for what seem their whole lifetimes for love, whereas others may seem to fall in and out of love on a regular basis. Of course, here we are talking about people, but also non-living object too. We can love many things
The threat to the human race is at risk each day in a world with nuclear weapons. There are several military revolutions throughout history, but the one that stimulated the greatest change ever in military warfare, is by far, nuclear weapons. They have proven to be the most devastating weapon ever in history, provided as a war deterrent for many, and have allowed for weak countries to become global powers. Nuclear weapons are not just one country’s problem; they are everyone’s. The ability to bring
Introduction: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Why should education be a vital consideration in India’s development today? In 2003 the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela stated, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Mandela used this as a means of liberating his country to move forward from the previously dysfunctional education system and be able to initiate a new system, which could provide “quality
Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. With Mass media continuous effort to develop new technologies comes up with outstanding inventions. One of the greatest and most enjoyable by anyone would be Television. Watching TV puts the brain into an Alpha state (which is linked to relaxed states, meditation, and increased suggestibility), meaning it is basically in a state
What is love? Love is the most confusing and undefinable word I know. Every individual has a unique definition of love, and a unique way of expressing love. Also, there are three distinct forms of love. There is romantic love, family love, and love towards objects. Family love is simpler to express than romantic love. Love regarding objects is used to express an extreme liking towards an item. Romantic love is expressed between two people who want to spend the rest of their lives together
Fear Fear is a powerful tool. Throughout history, tyrants have used fear to pursue their ruthless ambitions as men fear death most of all. They threaten subjects with imprisonment, torture or being put to death. In order to eradicate any means of secondary thought, challenging their oppressive regimes violence is a tool and dictators are well equipped and not afraid to use it. History has shown this repeatedly. From Benito Mussolini to Adolf Hitler who killed and tortured countless thousands in
Terrorism is the weapon of powerless Terrorism is a phenomenon very present in the entire world. Terrorists’ acts invade our consciousness through the media. Brian Jenkins (2006) noted that « Terrorism is theatre », and terrorist attacks attract the attention of the media. Indeed, terrorists use the media as a strategy to have more impact on the individual. It underlines the link between terrorism and the media. It shows that terrorism can be a weapon of powerful. Nevertheless, terrorism can be
Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch (1920) once wrote “The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.” Nevertheless, what sets the human soul on fire? For many, it is possessing the passion to accomplish great endeavors, being righteous towards all human beings and maintaining a balance of equality in the world. Doing so requires a leader who espouses respect and demonstrates power. However, many individuals in such positions are conflicted with the classic stockholder versus stakeholder
North Korea is described as “among the most harshly repressive countries in the world where basic rights are taken away from the citizens and they deal with abuse like murder, rape, and forced abortions” (HRW). Their inhuman actions have led to much controversy around the world. Other than this, their involvement with building up and testing these nuclear weapons has also been a world issue. Their desire for nuclear weapons is valid to ensure the security of the country from its own citizens, the
Nuclear weapons, a relatively new technology, have unparalleled power; the power to, quite literally, destroy nations and even the world. Such power is not an easy feat to obtain. Nuclear weapons are such a complicated system that it takes many years for countries to develop them, and many countries, today, have not advanced in their technological understanding of the weapons to create nuclear weapons. The development of nuclear weapons start with the attaining of enriched uranium and weapon grade
Learning Power: Education “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Nelson Mandela). Education sometimes has inconsistencies in which government gives state exams such as CAHSEE, SAT, CST and etc to students mostly in high school. Its inconsistent statement by the state exam and school exam should be even conforming whether students pass or fail. Not just only inconsistencies
War began at the end of World War Two with the destruction of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by American atomic weapons. This led to the rapid surrender of Japanese forces, causing the U.S. To possess the most dangerous and destructive weapons, known to mankind. But the soviets did not want this to be the case and rapidly started developing atomic weapons of their own, this beginning a new generation of warfare, a nuclear arms race, which would last four four decades until the fall
Assess the view that the Education system is the most powerful agent of political socialisation. Socialisation is learning the customs, attitudes, and values of a social group, community, or culture. Socialisation is essential for the development of individuals who can participate and function within their societies, as well as for ensuring that a society's cultural features will be carried on through new generations. Socialisation is most strongly enforced by family, school, and peer groups and
Though most people have never thought much about it, mankind nearly became extinct in a war that had no actual fighting; this war got the name the Cold War (SV; SV). The Cold War was the building tension between the United States and the Soviet Union some years following WWII. Nuclear weapons had a substantial influence on the Arms Race during the Cold War. At its peak, the two super-powers had enough nuclear weapons to kill everyone on Earth! Though the Cold War had many different aspects during
Weapons Inspection Team Knowing the history of chemical weapons and their devastating effects will help explain the reasoning for the development of weapons inspection team and why their success is vital to world peace. This paper will provide a small amount of history on chemical weapons, discuss the history of the weapons inspection teams and explain how the members are selected and trained. Incidents of the use of weapons of mass destruction will be mentioned which explain the reason for the
Former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said that “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Mandela). Education has been something that throughout history has been greatly valued, and highly sought after by a majority of people. This is due to the fact that if a person obtains a proper education, they can ultimately dictate their own path in life. The education system as we know it today in the United States is an incredibly dynamic system, that
mentioned resides the formation of the video game industry which was introduced in 1971 with the first ever commercially sold video game titled, “Computer Space” (Edwards, 2011). Since that decade, the video game industry has become one of the most powerful, influential, and important economic sectors to date. Boasting a $66 billion revenue as of 2013 (Nayak, 2013), the video game industry has become one known for the use of cutting edge technology, innovative designs, and impressive results. Dealing
Nuclear weapons are the most destructive devices ever formulated. The initial reason the US made this new weapon was fear that Germany was developing its own atomic bomb and also to subdue enemies in World War II. These reasons prompted the Hiroshima bombing that immediately took tens of thousands of lives and devastated the city for decades. Currently, some suggest that these weapons deter countries from war, but with relative peaceful situations between major countries and looking back to the Hiroshima
benefit mankind. One such invention that involves particle physics was seen for the first time in 1945. This was the year that the United States decided to detonate the first atomic bomb. It was based upon one of Albert Einstein’s most famous equations that most people around the world today can recognize, E = mc^2. This equation shows how mass can be converted into pure energy. The purpose of creating the atomic bomb was so that it could be used in the war between the United States and Japan
pioneered by the military has greatly improved our lives. In recent years critics have condemned the military’s research into new weapon technology, saying it only leads to death and war. However, the benefits and security from the research far out weigh the drawbacks. Military research today does not concentrate on making the biggest and most destructive bombs or weapons. A great deal of military funds are used on how to save lives not destroy them, saving the lives of soldiers, civilians, and even
Down The people of the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands would never be the same after 1946. 67 nuclear weapon tests were conducted on this atoll until the blessed year of 1958. Perhaps the only reason the United States displaced a beautiful culture and atoll was to settle some post-WWII uneasiness. Bikini was the definition of perfection when it came to testing the most powerful weapon there is in the world. It was inhabited by only 167 islanders which meant an easy relocation. The atoll was
way. As Jer. 17: 9 states “ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it”(ESV)? But all is not lost; it is possible to get along even with the most difficult among us. Wright (1989) stated, “…the three most vital qualities for getting along with people are genuineness, love, and empathy” (p.1). Looking at the first quality genuineness, it can be defined by saying that one is truly acting from the heart. Wright (1989) says “A genuine person is able to express
Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous weapons on Earth and in the hands of those who wish widespread destruction it is something to be very afraid of. The worlds in trouble and we need to secure it and the only way we can is to abolish nuclear weapons but that turn around just cannot happen overnight we need a clear and concise plan of disarmament and all states have to be willing to put aside their need for power over the greater good of humanity. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have had
of deployed nuclear weapons”. In this debate he spoke about why we should reduce our nuclear weapon and what it will be cause of reducing it. He also mentions that military civilian leaders have make plan to reduce nuclear weapons, the main question is what if United State reduce nuclear weapon and what will be consequences for nuclear weapon reduce. In the book of “Spread of Nuclear weapon” Scott D. Sagan also said that we should worry if United State have more nuclear weapon and the reason he give
Chemical weapons, devices used for the sole purpose of hurting or killing humans, are widely considered one of the four types of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Chemical weapons are devices that spread a certain toxic chemical to incapacitate people. The two most dangerous kinds of chemical weapons are nerve agents and vesicant, or blister, agents. Types There five kinds of chemical agents. Lethal, Incapacitating agents, Riot control gases, Harassing agents, and Defoliants. (Hersh, 1) Lethal agents
Women: intelligent, willing, and powerful. That is the definition used to describe those of today’s century who have conquered becoming political leaders, entrepreneurs, and working mothers in a world surrounded by critics. However, to understand the success of these women, one must understand how the 19th and 20th century influenced many to take a stand for equality in the political world. Many women during that time were raised and lived to be “perfect housewives,” providing a safe and clean home
Throughout the entirety of the twentieth century, the most disputed topic of discussion has perhaps been that of nuclear weapons. Some people argue these weapons of mass destruction are vital to the survival of order and decency in the world, while others contend that nuclear weapons will bring an end to civilization as we now know it. Regardless of both of these arguments, there are two things that just about nobody can deny – nuclear weapons are extremely expensive and enormously destructive.
Fallacies of the Assault Weapons Ban Abstract Violent crime is a growing problem in our country. Politicians are always looking for new laws to impose on their people in order to combat the problem. Unfortunately, some of these laws are written by individuals who do not possess a thorough knowledge of the topic they are attempting to regulate. One example of these laws is the Federal Assault Weapons Ban that was in place from 1994-2004. This law made it illegal to produce or purchase a firearm
Nelson Mandela once said that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” As time progressed we come to find this statement very true. Throughout history educated people have continued to invent, teach and protect the world around us. History of Higher Education in America The American education system, has been the catalyst of many controversial discussions and has undergone many reforms over the decades. The first true establishments of schools began after the
nuclear weapons have been used twice during the closing days of the World War II. The first one was dropped on the 6th of August 1945 on Hiroshima and the second bomb was dropped three days later on Nagasaki. Those bombs have stretched the limits of human imagination with millions of innocent people killed. Fortunately, those are the first two nuclear bombs that were used until now, just yet. Many organizations, many countries, and many people have debated on the pros and cons of nuclear weapons. Some
our lowest lows. The two greatest emotions recognized to man are Love and hate. As experience has cultured us, “Love conquers all.” With love, you can do anything. The manipulation of love is stronger than hate because love gets you whereas you desire to go and disgust and hate merely brings pain and sorrow in its wake. Love is one of the most influential words that have ever continued as the commencing of time. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Nuclear weapons are one of the most powerful weapons available to humans in terms of energy released. Only two nuclear weapons have thus far been used for war purposes in human history; detonated by the United States on Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. The Manhattan Project was started during World War II with the intention of making an atomic weapon for the United States. Today’s nuclear weapons are over 200x more powerful. Nuclear weapons are the only WMD that is not blocked by international treaties
United Nations defines chemical and bacteriological weapons as chemical agents or chemical substances that are either gaseous, liquid or solid and are use due to its toxicity and harmful effects towards animals, plants and humans. Furthermore, bacteriological agents of warfare are living organism, that as well as chemical weapons, are intended to cause disease or death in animals, plants, and humans. The difference is that bacteriological weapons “depend for their effects on their ability to multiply
Judiciary as the Most Powerful Branch of Government In answering this question I will first paint a picture of the power that the court holds, and decide whether this is governmental power. Then I will outline the balances that the court must maintain in its decision making and therefore the checks on its actions as an institution that governs America. "Scarcely any political question arises that is not resolved sooner or later into a judicial question." (Alexis de
Music is such a powerful force of nature, so powerful that is can give birth to a culture. I would like to focus on Rap culture, its essence, power, and influence. I have been blessed to be born when Rap was in its infancy, as I grew I got to watch Rap grow as well. From hanging out on the streets being doubted to getting recognized at the Grammy’s to having its own award show, but along the way record companies managed to steer Rap of its intended course and purpose from the voice of the streets
Assault weapons are very powerful and dangerous weapons; therefore, the government should ban the use of assault weapons to protect their citizens. In today’s society, it is very easy to get access to guns. In California, obtaining a gun license is very easy: any twenty one years old and up legal resident can apply for a gun license. The requirements are: pass the written gun safety test, pass the background check, pay a small fee and present a valid ID. If they fulfill all the requirements, then
