That means our seas are rising and will continue to rise. Dimick’s article states that “Seas are rising because ice sheets in Greenland and parts of Antarctica, and glaciers in Alaska and elsewhere, are melting as global temperatures rise. Meltwater flows from continents into the oceans, just like water flowing into a bathtub.” (Dimick,2015). If the water continues to rise eventually there will be massive…

Too much pollution in the ocean can make the seawater become too acidic. When the water is too acidic, some marine animals cannot survive. For some marine animals, acidic water reduces their ability to grow shells. “For instance, the thin shell of marine snails is easily eaten away by acid waters” (Levete, 15). The ability to not grow shells can decrease its chance of survival. The marine snails will have less protection without those shells, so they could get eaten more easily by predators.…

When one imagens the idea of a “good life” there are many different things might spring to mind. The Romans and Greeks had different ideas of this “good life” and so do I. The way one thinks about this achieved life can illuminate what values they hold. Romans value consistency. Greeks value the middle line, which is sometimes described as average. There are multiple others, but this paper mentions just a few. As shown in the textbook, tells us in Seneca’s On Tranquility of Mind explains that…

Ever since the beginning of the space race the United States has been one of the premier space agencies in the world. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, is a government run program that started in 1958 to better understand what lies beyond Earth’s atmosphere. One of their biggest feats was putting a man on the moon. This virtually won us the space race and put us at the forefront of space technology and research. Many thing have changed since Neil Armstrong first stepped…

upon to be an expanding pattern. In addition, the potential for extreme and irreversible atmosphere and ecological changes, including the global warming leading to the liquefying of polar ice layers, for example, those found in Greenland and West Antarctica, could cause ocean level ascents surpassing 10 meters, destructive variances in sea streams, and expanded methane outflows. The likelihood that most an unnatural weather change of the most recent 15 years is the consequence of human…

Is global warming a belief or a real danger? "Make no mistake: without concerted action, the very future of our planet is in peril," says Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund. Our Planet Earth is facing a huge threat by global warming due to intensified use of fossil fuels and an increase rate of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Many scientists believe that climate change is occurring and they provide some scientific evidence to prove this, yet some…

lives the Emperor Penguin. Consequently, the Emperor Penguin has many phenomenal and useful adaptations that ensure the penguin is able to sustain life in such a challenging and unfavorable environment. The Emperor Penguin can only be found in Antarctica. It is essential for penguins in general to generate and retain a constant…

of a warmer climate" (Contoski 5). The cooling of the earth that most studies show has brought upon us a "tornado drought," setting a new record for the last 60 years." (Newman 2) rather than warming, the earth may be cooling. "Sea-ice cover in Antarctica was growing to record levels, tornadoes and hurricanes were at record lows; the Artic sea ice was rebounding fast; and much more" (Newman 1). Humans are not the only mammal affected by "global warming." We have all seen the pictures of polar…

Describe what value you see in interprofessional education and collaborative practice in healthcare. (182) Interprofessional education (IPE) provides several benefits. Through the experience, students will learn not only about their own profession, but also other professions as well and learn about how their specialties bring to the table to assist patients. The result is professionals who act on the same level and understand how the others think and work. When providers collaborate, they can…

The Inconvenient Truth was a documentary produced in 2006 to display the dangers of global warming. To advocate the documentary, they created two posters that provoke an emotional response in the people viewing them. These two posters were very similar in purpose but very different in the execution of the poster. The Inconvenient Truth was made from a slideshow created by Vice President Al Gore to educate the people about global warming. Producers Laurie David and Lawrence Bender, who saw his…
