Common weaponry during Medieval Times Clashing swords, flaming ballistae, gleaming armour, all images of battling knights riding in to save the damsel in distress. We all have an image of a knight engrained in our heads. Silver helmets, large sword, shield with an intricate crest emblazoned on it. These were all commonly used in thee times, but there was so much more to medieval weaponry than just a sword and shield. The weapons used were diverse and sophisticated and set a precedent for some…

various laboratories around the world. Scientifics researches are using animals to make experimentation of medicine or products that would test if it works on human. “Animal experimentation has led to the development of treatments for diabetes, anthrax, rabies, polio and smallpox, as well as anti-depressants, tranquilizers and antibiotics” (ProQuest Staff). Many people think that animal experimentation is necessary because Scientifics can test products on them that humans will use; however…

When it comes to the topic of animal testing, most of us will readily agree that it is a very debatable discussion. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question whether it helps researchers to find new drugs and treatments suitable for humans. Whereas some are convinced that animal testing does help researchers find new effective drugs and treatments, others maintain that some drugs tested on animals are ineffective or even safe for human consumption. In my perspective the…

Animal testing has improved the life expectancy of humans by 97 percent since a hundred years ago. Animal research is used all over the United States by veterinarians and scientist. When people think of animals they generally think of house pets. Many can relate to animals as being their friends. Researchers use mice, rats, dogs, cats and monkeys to test most of the medicine on before the public gets the vaccines. Typically society thinks that it is wrong to have animals as a model for health…

by land and by space, attacks are also possible though organisms. Biological warfare is just as dangerous as an atomic bomb when concerning casualties. Any type of animal or ammunition can now be infected with any type of virus, such as smallpox, anthrax, the plague, other non-lethal viruses, and possibly even Ebola, and then be transferred to another country to kill hundreds of thousands of people. While rodents and insects can deliver these biological death warrants, they can also be delivered…

also killed millions of innocent animals. However, animal testing has also helped many different kinds of animals. “If vaccines were not tested on animals, millions of animals would have died from rabies, distemper, feline leukemia, tetanus, and anthrax” (“Animal Testing-ProCon”). Scientists have discovered many vaccines for animals through animal testing. They have also been able to prevent endangered species from going extinct. Although animal testing has proved to be a good thing, it is still…

The two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. What characteristics distinguish these two groups from the other kingdoms? These two groups are different from other kingdoms because all cells in these kingdoms are single-celled organisms whose organelles are not membrane bounds. They are also microscopically small. What is the average size of a bacterium? An average bacterium is about 1-2 micrometres long. How many prokaryote species have been discovered? How many are estimated to…

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois, being the first son and second child to Clarence and Grace Hemingway. His mother hoped that he would foster an interest for music, but he liked the outdoors much more, like his father. In high school, he excelled academically as well as athletically. After high school, he was not interested in going to college, and wanted a writing career. He started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City, at the young age of seventeen…

Defining Homeland Security Homeland security (HLS) is an expansive enterprise that includes many agencies and departments at all levels of government. As such, it has been defined in many different but similar ways. For example, in their book Understanding Homeland Security, Noftsinger, Newbold, and Wheeler (2007) define homeland security as “a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, minimize the damage, and…

International and domestic law are not perfect instruments to fight against cyberattacks, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents and weapons, terrorism finance, or terrorism in general, the private sector and civilian population has to be involved. This is because the nature of these unconventional attacks, coupled with the impossibilities of “perfect security” only allows for a balancing of risk that can be achieved through a redundancy approach to managing these threats.…
