Ice Age however, there is also the possibility of the early onset of the next Ice Age. in the article “crippled Atlantic currents triggered ice age climate change” it is discussed how in the last glacial period the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation had begun to slow down right before periods of sudden climate change (Hand, 2016). As well today there is evidence of the AMOC currently “known to be in decline”. (Hand, 2016) This delay or early onset of the next ice age is human made,…

back 2.6 million years ago and due to the Holocene period can accordingly be called the Age of Man (Quaternary Period, 2014). During the quaternary period fluctuations of the climate caused glaciers to advance from the poles and retreat with each cycle, carving and moulding the land (National Geographic, 2014). Over the past 800,000 years the planet has formed cyclical patterns, with ice ages lasting around 100,000 years followed by warm periods lasting 10,000-15,000 years. The last ice age…

Especially, China’s military history can be dated back to 2200 BC and divided into the following periods that are before 1911, the period of the Republic of China and the People 's Liberation Army (PLA) (Graff & Higham, 2012). Noteworthy, most of the imperial dynasties in China were established from successful battles.

The reign of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi, in the third century BCE is known for its unprecedented unity of Chinese lands and for the establishment of the Chinese imperial system. While the 221 BCE unification of the Warring States into a single Chinese state may seem like the natural progression of events in hindsight, it and the subsequent unity in the Qin dynasty was not an inevitable outcome and required active effort to accomplish. Qin Shi Huangdi had to take many measures beyond…

Science Academy followed a fairly disciplined schedule. With two hours of math and science, and an hour for other required classes, the goal of the school was get students to work on becoming critical thinkers. However, being in the longer class periods did not always provide this service, unlike the shorter periods. Based on Freire’s idea of the banking concept of education and problem-posing education, the two hour classes were more likely to demonstrate the banking concept due to teachers…
