the 24-hour rerun of Titanic, an ingenious thought occurred to me "social classes, they're really worth something." Why did they ever go out of style? They're welcoming, opportunistic, and hey, you don’t even have to make your own friends! The destruction of social classes has led to the idea that you can be whoever and whatever you want to. How bogus! I am absolutely flabbergasted that social classes are no longer in place! I could be "wifed up" right out of high school by a really great guy…
coral reef population has been completely destroyed, in hard-hit places like the Philippines over 70 percent of coral reefs have been lost, while just a measly 5 percent can be said to be in truly good condition. The causes behind the widespread destruction of coral reefs are many, all acting simultaneously to contribute to the problem. Firstly, humans serve as a huge detriment to the coral reefs, boating, recreational diving, destructive fishing practices, and the runoff of sediments,…
cause Macbeth to go insane and become ruthless. He kills his best friend Banquo as well as Lady Macduff and her children while Macduff was away. Lady Macbeth becomes fearful of her husband. Little does she realize that he is the product of her destruction. According to Matthew T. Conlin, evil operates from one person to another, through a man's own desires --in this case power and wealth--, through a set of circumstances, through the feeling of despair it tends to generate, and through the cry…
habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation; invasive species; population growth and increasing use of resources; pollution; climate change; and overexploitation. All these factors summarized by HIPPCO may be applied to whales to describe how their populations have been affected and will be affected in the future. Quite simply, the whale populations have been decimated by human activity and environmental catastrophes that have ultimately adversely affected the whale. Habitat destruction…
(CBRN) weapons, also referred to as weapons of mass destruction (WMD), continue to pose a significant threat to all living things on earth. WMD are very different from conventional weapons. These weapons can be used in several different ways and the effects can range from environmental destruction, to incapacitating humans or animals, or even killing them. The Department of Defense (DOD) Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction is aimed at ensuring the United States, as well as…
Shakespeare is a tale of blind ambition, and the destruction of those who follow it. The people who cause the blind ambition are the ones actually responsible for the destruction. In the book Macbeth, some people might think that Macbeth is the only one to blame for his destruction, but this isn’t true. The only true reason for Macbeth’s destruction is the Weïrd Sisters. Now, the Weïrd Sisters aren’t the only ones to blame for Macbeth’s destruction, his wife, Lady Macbeth also played a small…
play concerns Macbeth, the play's protagonist and tragic hero. From Macbeth's rise, fall, and destruction, a clear idea develops concerning political ambition: The lust for power--unfettered ambition--leads to the destruction of self and of others. In other words, once Macbeth's ambition is aroused, his overwhelming desire for the throne of Scotland leads to his own destruction as well as to the destruction of many other characters in the play. As a result of his desire to claim and then retain…
There are two risks for first responders when either countering or responding to an international terrorist attack. The most obvious risk is the physical and psychological damage that a terrorist attack can have on the first responders when they are responding to an attack. And a lesser known risk occurs in the preparing stage for countering an attack. Basically, whether there is funding and enough supplies in place for first responders to counter an attack. These two risks are very…
Paranoia is the heart of the Cold War. Paranoia is defined as “a mental condition characterized by delusions of...exaggeration,” and further, misperceptions of reality. This form of madness fueled the Cold War and its pop culture, government manipulation/exploitation of citizens, and the loss of humanity during the Cold War Era. Many of these themes are expressed in The Cold War 1964 film Dr. Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb, directed by Stanley Kubrick. Fear…
In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein the theme of creation and destruction is displayed through Victor creating the first monster, and beginning on the second one. Creation, in chapters seventeen through nineteen, leads to destruction. The first example of this would be the creation of the first monster himself, throughout the beginning of chapter seventeen he say he will destroy everything, and cause fear throughout if another female monster isn’t created: “…if I cannot inspire love, I will cause…
