Bomb disposal

Bam! Rock and debris fly through the air. The quiet and peaceful forest which once accommodated numerous different animals is now a biological wasteland suffering from a devastating method of coal collection called strip mining. Humans leave numerous amounts of destruction in their wake, whether it be on a small or large scale. This amount of coal excavation is an immense detriment to Appalachia, and is a horrid evil which needs to be addressed right now. While some say strip mining in the…

the Second World War. However, shortly after came the dawn of the Cold War, a time where there were tensions between the two superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States of America. These tensions combined with the nuclear bomb both sides had at their disposal led to fear about an all-out nuclear war among people; luckily it never escalated to that point. Alan Moore’s comic, illustrated by David Lloyd, V for Vendetta, published between the years 1988 and 1989, attempts to create a…

nuclear plant, the power plant has a much higher life expectancy, produces energy much cheaper than other renewable energy sources, and it takes up less space than the amount needed to compete with a nuclear power plant. Another concern is about the disposal…

In 2004 the Indian Ocean coastline at Sumatra, Indonesia was struck by a devastatingly high magnitude earthquake. The earthquake, which was said to have released the energy of roughly 23,000 Hiroshima style bombs, triggered a tsunami that followed shortly after (Nation Geographic 1). The Tsunami that followed caused mass destruction and is actually considered one of the deadliest natural disasters to ever be recorded (Taylor 1). This Tsunami, known as the 2004 Indonesian Tsunami, struck on…

In 1877 Rutherford Birchard Hayes is elected as president promising the end of the reconstruction era. Consequently one of the most important reforms in American history has officially failed its purpose which was to integrate the formerly slave population with equal rights, like white citizens. This event officially defines the start of the “Gilded age” and although the reconstruction era was over a different version of the reform was underway. Americas focus shifted towards the uncultivated…

facilities became a greater concern worldwide because nuclear energy was taught to be relatively safe before this. This event opened the world’s eyes to the dangers of nuclear energy as a power source. (World Nuclear Association, 2015) When the nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1946 it showed the world the extreme power nuclear energy had and opened up the idea to use it in the energy…

The United States of America should enforce stricter gun laws in order to protect its citizens. Most people have access to guns, but many do not even know how to use one properly and are not aware of the consequences when pulling the trigger. Recent studies show that around 30,000 people in the United States get killed by firearms every year, whereas countries that enforce strict gun regulations show numbers in the hundreds or even lower than that. Therefore, the United States should enforce…

Identification and Evaluation of Sources To what extent did Leonardo da Vinci’s tank affect the tanks of World War I? The selection of this topic was an interesting process. Leonardo da Vinci is arguably one the greatest minds in all of Human History. I (as a Historian) enjoy the works of Leonardo da Vinci, as well as his affect on the introduction of tanks in World War 1. The investigation will use a compare and contrast, and argumentative formats. The sources I have selected to evaluate are…

Furthermore, these threats should be handled with the utmost importance to ensure the safety of our communities. The international community shall not take these threats lightly. North Korea is a nuclear country run by a malevolent dictator; therefore, military action may be the only solution to eliminate…
