By the end of the nineteenth century, the Industrial Revolution had brought about tremendous change, such as the rapid urbanization of cities and development of social reforms. More importantly, it became the turning point in which the emergence of advanced machinery and modern industrial production made the U.S. one of the most economically powerful countries in the world.

Human rights, those rights that are endowed to every individual, has been a developing discourse, involving many factors, and aims to attain some basic level of equality amongst all humans. In 1948, the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights (UNHDR) was enacted; this document, which emerged as a direct result of the atrocities committed during World War II, lists thirty not-legally binding articles, each outlining these intrinsic and inalienable rights. Among these, the following are…

The field of medicine is ever evolving, requiring physicians and healthcare facilities to rely on more mid-level practitioners, such as PAs, to be able to meet the demands of health care and wellness, while maintaining the quality of care. Working with a supervising physician and other team members in the health care industry, a PA’s role bridges the gap between clinical staff and the provider. As a mid-level…

In Forbidden Planet, a space crew from Earth is sent to the planet Altair IV to investigate the whereabouts of the missing first expedition that has been unheard from in 20 years. Captain Adams, the main…

However, studies of a multitude of different species has shown that this is simply not true. Both Hauser and Page cite a variety of studies that disprove what Don Griffin has called the "groans of pain" theory. Page discusses evidence for a specific vocabulary of vocalizations in animals such as the chicken, squirrel, meerkat, and prairie dog. Cockerels have different alarm calls for ground and aerial predators. It is unlikely that a predator would elicit a different emotional state in the…

three fellow astronauts, Lowell is more drawn towards acquiring three drones as his friends. Lowell named them Huey, Dewey and Louie, and programed them to help serve his self-appointed mission to save nature. The film shows how Lowell uses his tree robotic friend to maintain the forest as well as his own sanity.
