“They didn 't understand what they were doing. I 'm afraid that will be on the tombstone of the human race” (Crichton 504). The expansion of science and research is a beneficial aspect of humanity as cures for diseases, food growth, and national/international security, can be discovered, solved, and utilized by furthering technological research. Having nanoids being used to heal serious injuries, curing major diseases instantly, or even having them maintain national security, may seem like…

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that has no cure and affects approximately 30,000 children in the United States. The life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis has increased over the past 50 years dramatically. Advancements in medications and therapies have allowed patients a longer and more productive life.

The environment, along with its protection and issues connected with it are questions of interest nowadays. Many people are concerned with the state of the earth and our destructive impact on nature itself. Because of the slow change our environment is undergoing, many have failed to realize that this is even a problem. In, “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore explains, “If a frog is put into a container of water that slowly increases in heat, it will stay there until it... Gets pulled out of the…

Freshwater management has been of major concern in New Zealand, particularly during the last two decades. There has been consistent decline in water quality and quantity in Canterbury during this time. Consequently, work has been made to improving the way water resources are managed. This report will discuss the consent conditions for the Lincoln University Dairy and Research Farms, consent number CRC143396, and how the consent is monitored. The Resource Management Act (1991), the Dairying Clean…

efficient than CO, or methane at trapping radiation and exacerbating the greenhouse effect” ("What Are The Most Harmful Atmospheric Chemicals?"). For example, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), one of the greenhouse gases, is a man-made chemical that used for aerosol spray that was once thought to be the greatest substance of all time. However, after doing lots of research, it is now accumulating in the atmosphere and depleting ozone. Chemicals come from many factories to produce goods, home cleaning…

Within Ronald Wright’s novel, A Short History of Progress, the concept of a “progress trap” is explored. Described by Wright, a “progress trap” is a situation in which humans establish a dependence upon new technology or techniques that have been integrated into societal structures to help “improve” human living conditions. This newly developed technology or knowledge can become paramount in society and critical to the survival of the transformed civilization. At this point, a loop of “progress…

America has become increasingly dependent on electricity. The fragility of electronics and increasing threats worldwide has led to the subject of this paper. How vulnerable is America to Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack? What would most likely happen in such an event? What steps can be taken to prepare for an EMP attack? Research shows that Electromagnetic propagation is the silent threat that is not be focused on. The current power grid of the United States is unequipped to handle a large…

Whenever the world trends towards parapolitics, I find it unfortunate that much of the country fails to understand what parapolitical analytics are and why they are important to understand. The main political structure in this country is flawed, not because it was flawed during its construction, but only because it has suffered throughout its evolution. To many, this is not obvious. Those who try to point out the obvious are shut down and told that they are spoiling the process of government by…

Climate change is a controversial subject around the world. Most scientists agree that climate change is human-caused, and that the effects of climate change can already be seen today. Research suggests that we must act now or face severe consequences in the future. Before climate change can be discussed, it is important to understand what a climate is and how it differs from weather. Many people may use the two terms interchangeably, and while the two words are related, they are not the same.…
