Submarines also played an instrumental part in the Civil War. The need for them predominantly came about because Union warships would patrol the seas and formed a blockade of Confederate ships, which were coming with guns, gunpowder and shipbuilding materials for the Confederate soldiers. One of these ports was Charlestown, which was a major hub of trade (Walker 6). The Confederate soldiers needed to open up Charleston but they didn't have ships to go head on with the stronger and better-made…

Global Warming Scientists have spent their lives studying the earth; taking note of all its activities, changes and collusion. After studying and analyzing the earth, they came up with the term known as Global warming. Global Warming can be defined as “the unusual and frequent increase in the earth’s temperature over time, primarily due to the greenhouse gases released by people burning fossil fuels. Looking back to the history of the earth, it has experience several changes; climate…

power was developed in the 1950s after several years of intensive research on atoms, uranium, and radioactivity (Ferguson, 22). Initially, nuclear energy was mainly applied in the military field through the production of destructive weapons such as bombs. However, as years progressed, it became an essential component of industrial production. Nuclear energy is derived from nuclear reactions. The energy is then used to produce heat that is directed to steam turbines to facilitate production of…

underdeveloped. Even with such doubts, airplanes were still wrongfully and quickly thrown into combat. Aerial combat meant coming face to face with the opponent, who would only be a few feet away and pilots only had crude and ineffective weaponry at their disposal. At this time, the airplane was still made of cloth, wood and wires, resembling more of a fragile kite than a machine of war (Aces). Even the smallest gust of wind could flip a plane over (ebook). Aviators fought in flimsy “canvas…

If, however, the situation did call for extreme levels of torture, I would do it with no qualms whatsoever. Concerning the readings, I agree…

the revelation of the destructive capabilities of the two first nuclear weapons “Fat Man” and “Little Boy.” The actual development of nuclear energy began in the 20th century following the discovery of the elements uranium and plutonium. When the bombs were detonated these elements produced enormous sums of energy in the form of both heat and radiation; these hazardous explosions covered entire cities in an iconic mushroom smog cloud. The infamous explosive smog can be seen in Figure 1 to…

Man’s Immorality Explored Scott Mescudi, an actor said, “Some humans are really bad at being human.” Mark Twain, the father of American literature writes about his observations on human behavior in his essay, “The Lowest Animal.” Which consists of observations made after conducting experiments on animal’s behavior and comparing them to negative qualities humans exhibit in their behavior. Author and neuroendocrinologist (someone who studies hormones and behavior), Robert M. Sapolsky explains his…

The Cold War began as World War II came to an end. After the war, each one of the Big Three (United States, Soviet Union, and Great Britain) had different concerns about the structure of the postwar world. Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or USSR), was in search of security for his nation. Germany had attacked the Soviets twice in thirty years, and both times the Germans had reached them through Poland. Therefore, Stalin thought it was necessary…
