Absolute risk reduction

condition of war and thought people were nasty, brutish, and short-tempered. Their natural passion is the fear of death, which inclines men to peace. Because he assumes that men are inherently evil, he states that the people should be ruled by an absolute government, that it’s necessary to protect people from each other. With this type of government, there would actually be more chaos within the groups of the governed. If they are naturally competitive, why would they choose to act as a…

Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance. The absolute zero value of an experiment is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value. The theoretical values for absolute zero is 0 Kelvin (-273.15 ◦C or -459.67 ◦F). This principle applies to the experiment as it explains the value at which…

In the years leading up to the French Revolution, the public’s opinions did not matter, but as more people demanded changes to the monarchy’s modus operandi and the end of absolutism, tensions among the various classes grew. With less censorship and more safety in rebelling against the king, people were more outspoken and influenced others as a result. Members of the Third Estate began to feel confident voicing concerns about the nobles and the monarchy, and there was plenty of literature…

RESEARCH QUESTION: This experiment will analyse the changes in performance of a cane toad in abiotic factors, such as temperature. HYPOTHESIS: Cane Toads exposed to a warmer temperature will more times per minute compared to cane toads exposed to a cooler temperature. METHODS: 16 cane toads were kept at a constant temperature in an insulated container (two treatments: 8 in 25 degree Celsius and 8 in 15 degree Celsius temperate environments). Toads were then taken out, one by one, and placed…

I found the extent to which Louis XIV was an "absolute" monarch to be fairly broad. Not only was the absolute power in politics, but he also at absolute control of the military, and even some aspects of religious freedoms and practices. I think that with all these added together, it's fair to say that he was an absolute monarch. There are multiple examples of how he had control of politics, religious freedoms and the military. The best place to start is the beginning; where Louis XIV assumed…

Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, is one of the most famous rulers of France because of the long lasting effects his policies had on the French nation. Born on September 5, 1638, he reigned for 72 years and achieved his goal of creating an absolute monarchy. In order to do so, Louis reorganized France’s political system, enforced the worship of one religion, created a uniform legal system and a central seat for power, which became Versailles. He was known as the “Sun King” because of the…

Constitutional monarchy consists of having a system of government where a monarch still has a formal title in a state/nation without having any real power; while the head of state of a nation holds the political power over a country (Monarchy Constitutional, 2008). Monarchs essentially act as a figurehead towards a nation, while the leaders of the state actually govern the country. An example of a country that follows this is Canada. Although Canada holds the Queen of England with some regard,…

Historians often refer to absolutist monarch Joseph II of Austria (1741-1790) as an enlightened despot due to the numerous social reforms he instilled during his reign. Joseph commissioned countless works of propaganda that showcase his enlightened ideology, yet it is through one of these images that one can also see the ironies that invalidate the possibility of an effective enlightened despot. The authority of a despot relies on his ability to secure his own power, while a true Enlightenment…

Fahrenheit, commonly known as a unit of measurement for temperature which is regarded as an official scale in the modern society of the United States and other Caribbean countries. It is the first standardised temperatures scale which was adopted globally in the seventeenth century. This great invention is named after a German science instrument maker, Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686- 1736). His invention has revolutionised the design of thermometer in 1724 when he conducted the first mercury…

seventeenth century was a time of tremendous transformation throughout Europe. Poverty and constant war over religious and dynastic disputes were just a couple of problems the seventeenth century faced. During this time, rulers would either rule with absolute power or fairly governed the land by making laws. Absolutism is a form of government rule where one individual is given complete power and is not challenged by whether he is right or wrong. This form of government was “given by God.” Rulers…
