Drones: Not Even Remotely Safe Technology. Ancient people would never imagined the type of technology people use today. It makes tasks easier and more efficient, however, at times some people misuse this technology. In his short story “A Sound of Thunder,” Ray Bradbury demonstrates this idea of utilizing technology through harmful means with the reckless usage of a time machine. Even though Bradbury writes of a technology that has not yet been invented, his idea still stands today. Drones…

example of the many committed and just like Antigone, Julia Butterfly Hill also stood up for what she believed in. According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, civil disobedience is “the refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest.” Antigone and Julia Butterfly Hill both emanate this idea and are selfless women who have benefitted their communities for the greater good. Julia Butterfly Hill and Antigone are both humble women who make…

“God Damnit Kendrick you did it again” Noah said with my headphones on listening to “To Pimp a Butterfly” for the first time with Alexis and I in our third period rotation class. The moment that had the most impact on me was meeting Alexis and Noah. This happened when I was in seventh grade and we all had the same third period which was rotation. I had sat next to Noah as we have last names that all close alphabetically. While the first few days we did not talk as we did not know each other but…

On a fall day, back in November of 1997 a lady who went by the name of Julia Butterfly Hill headed on a trip to California’s Redwood National and State Park. While visiting the forest Julia was captivated by the beauty and natural history of the forest to the point that she felt a spiritual harmony with her surroundings. In just two short weeks to Julia’s dismay she found out that a great social injustice was occurring the same forest that she had just visited. Pacific Lumber, a local logging…

inquiry, and the results drawn from each study, as Levine’s conclusion contradicts that of Latané and Darley’s bystander behaviour theory because the witnesses did not behave in a way that could be explained by applying Latané and Darley’s bystander effect…

help another in a time of need, people need to discern the reasoning of why they believe it is not their responsibility to intervene. The attack in New York City launched a whole new feel of study into something that became known as the bystander effect—why some people can see something bad happened right before their eyes and failed to act. In 1964 the stabbing of a twenty-eight year old woman coming home from work one night in New…

Throughout the school day students come into contact with many different teachers. Each teacher has different expectations and requirements for their class. Each student in each class are unique individuals. They come from different backgrounds, have different home lives and different upbringings. Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs states individuals must have their basic needs meet first in order to advance forward toward self-actualization. Self-actualization includes creativity, problem…

goes through the atmosphere, to the surface where is it absorbed and radiated again as heat. About ninety percent of gasses in the earth’s atmosphere is absorbed of heat of which is radiated back to the surface. This process is called the greenhouse effect. To continue, humans add a lot of extra gasses into the atmosphere, which warms up the whole place. The gasses mainly responsible for this include CO2( the main one), water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide. The gasses are natural, but too much…

Ironically I have just received a letter from the UN stating we have reached an all-time high of a one and a half degree Celsius raise. The main reason is from our heightened increase in greenhouse gases. (A gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation, e.g., carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons.-Google) Before I continue, I will first take you for a walk through time, this will give bases for my proposal action against climate change. Since the beginning of…

not a single person taking a stand: the main reason genocide lingers for some time, longer than it should. The research in Psychosocial roots of genocide: risk, prevention, and intervention uses diffusion of responsibility to explain the bystander effect. The personal responsibility of each individual to step up diffuses across the many people involved (Wolf, p. 120). Not one person feels responsible to be the one to make a stand about the issue at hand. Additionally, if there is a consensus of…
