Glacial period

This process has begun to heat and change the Earth’s climate drastically over the past few decades. The adverse effect discussed in this paper is glacial melting. Although as explained earlier glacier melting is a natural process that occurs over multiple years at a time, glaciers are now melting at an accelerated rate. “The climate in Northern Hemisphere glacier areas became warmer and more humid during the last decades, especially since a climatic shift around 1977. This appears to be an unusual change, possibly of anthropogenic origin” (Dyurgerov & Meier, 2000). Anthropogenic activities are tipping the delicate balance of the world’s…

Its time span goes 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.…

Since obesity is on the continual rise, there has been a lot of research done to determine the best way to decrease weight. For many years, studies of body weight regulation have focused almost completely on caloric intake and energy expenditure.23 Since the obesity epidemic continues to skyrocket, one diet that has received a lot of attention is Intermittent fasting (IF), or periods of voluntary abstinence from food and drink.24 In some places, IF has been practiced since the earliest of…

Imagining a country that is totally closed off from all exterior surroundings is very difficult do, as there are very few countries that even have the resources for such an endeavor. This is the perceived vision of what Japan was like during the Tokugawa period, where the Shoguns employed an idea of Sakoku in Japan. But what does Sakoku mean? There is a literal translation of closing down the country, but the foreign relations policy did not follow this word for word translation . Along with…

Rossini’s music had a formulaic quality with many of his operas being similar in structure. He utilised a general framework called “la solita forma” in which operas followed a standardized pattern based in building drama and increasing complexity (Beghelli, 2011, p.97). This formula enabled Rossini and other composers to maintain a high volume of output over a short period of time without sacrificing quality or audience reception. A result of method was work that often lacked thematic recurrence…

the social structure, as seen in Mary Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the Rights of Woman, where she argues for woman’s education, not to free women of the suppressive culture, but to make them better in their subjectivity. In these two pieces, readers can understand that autonomy is restricted. The same can be said for the Meiji Era in Japan. In light of Japan’s industrialization and the changes it brought, individual agency in Meiji Japan, as represented in Natsume Soseki’s Sanshiro, is…

speaking, reading, and writing are gender marked” (252). She concludes that insufficient evidence exists in the dialogue between the genders, that language is not codified by sex and therefore cannot be regarded excepting “styles, strategies, and contexts of linguistic performance (255).” The question is further exacerbated by Mary Jacobus’ insistence that as men’s discourse has historically subjugated the female, women’s voices have been effectively silenced (28). I would argue that the…
