Bloom

shows the importance of being a successful leader in the world. In William Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger", his selfless character is evident through his life, career, and poetry. William Blake uses his life to help inspire others. Harold Bloom gives a detailed description of William Blake’s desire to be a leader: Visionary and irascible, Blake was very much a man of the eighteenth-century. He strongly reacted against many of its hallmarks and he profoundly responded to it in…

Introduction Eutrophication is a condition in an aquatic ecosystem where high nutrient concentrations stimulate blooms of algae (e.g., phytoplankton). Eutrophication is a natural process that occurs to all lakes over time as the weathering of rocks and soils from the surrounding area that leads to an accumulation of nutrients in the water. It can also be caused by run-offs of fertilisers. Three of the key components of modern fertilisers are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. After a rainy…

growing demands on potable water due to growing populations, algal blooms pose a growing threat to water safety. We are observing increasing instances of algal blooms, which pose a significant threat to human and native ecosystem health, reduce aesthetic quality of source water by causing taste and odor issues, and may harm the filtration systems employed in water treatment, thus driving up the costs of water treatment. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are often accompanied by growth of…

and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I’ve always been a fool” (Edward Bloom). Edward Bloom was a man that lived in a fantasy world. His stories were exaggerated to the point they became a fantasy. He hyperbolize the stories not to lie, but to escape the boring reality of life. In that way I am like him; I tend to have my own Wonderland, where I go to escape the monotonous pattern of my existence. Edward Bloom and I are not only alike in the fact that we both have a dreamland, but…

neurotoxin has been found in many new shellfish. Phytoplankton produces a natural acid called Domoic acids which in small doses it's harmless. However, when it is produced in excess it becomes poisonous to people. "The shellfish that eat these algae blooms don't seem to be affected by the toxin," said Morgaine McKibben, a Ph.D. student at the University of Oregon. But when other animals eat the shellfish they are affected in a very negative way. When it is ingested, it can…

Anthropological Critique of the Journal Article ‘Anthropogenic Nutrients and Harmful Algae in Coastal Waters’ by Davidson et al. (2014) Introduction (1/2 page) With geological experts currently attempting to declare a new geological period, the Anthropocene, Humanistic-scientific spectrum (1 page) The scientific and the humanistic perspectives form two contrasting approaches towards approaching research. Each approach is applicable in the appropriate situation. However, neither perspective is…

In the play Macbeth, William Shakespeare uses the Aristotelian definition of a tragic hero as a guideline for the characters and their tragedies. Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero is someone of nobility who has a tragic, fatal flaw. He believed that there are three characteristics of a tragic hero: Hamartia, hubris, and peripeteia. Hamartia is a tragic flaw that causes the downfall of a hero; hubris is excessive pride and disrespect for the natural order of things; peripeteia is the…

During the process of creating my assessment, I really focused on what we learned throughout the semester such as having a variety of question types, reaching more than one level of Bloom’s Taxonomy, straying from giving clues within my questions, and accounting for bias, reliability, validity, and diverse learners. I started out by choosing a lesson that would be a bit easier to put into a written test form (considering art classes are most commonly based on performance). So, I chose…

and Phosphorus are together the eutrophication will occur. This was shown in jars 2 and 4. One could argue that herbicides are worse in water than fertilizer. As stated in another study when herbicides get into water it does not always cause algae blooms but the algae that does grow there is a new strand and is referred to as “super algae”, algae that has adapted and will be harder to kill. The study referred to them as mutants. The study says “Rare, pre-selective mutations may allow the…
