Is Rio, a suitable host for the Olympics, has been the subject of much debate in the media recently. It is in response to this discussion that Chris Berg has written his article "Rio's financial crisis reveals the moral bankruptcy of the Olympics" and Mark Knight has also drawn a cartoon. In his article, published in The ABC News on 21 June 2016, Berg contends in a frustrated and critical tone that it is the epitome of government waste. Berg's intended audience seem to be comprised of the people watching the Olympics, and he develops an upsetting persona for himself to appeal to this readership. Similarly, in his cartoon, published in the Herald Sun on 6 August 2016, Knight contends in an old and downy tone to show the slums of Brazil. Mark Knight's intended audience seem to be comprised of people watching the Olympics and determining whether Brazil should be the Olympic host, and he develops a…

A mountain scene is beautiful no matter where it is at, but this view looks like something you would only see in heaven. The different engravings of the dove-white mountains that soared into the clear blue sky, trapping the glimmering sun behind them. Lying in a great line like the spine of the land. As if they were giants that roamed the land, only to lie down and never get up again. Falling into an enchanted sleep, perhaps their humanities still remain. The range was high to the west and low…

The cow’s coat is as white as freshly fallen snow reflecting off the midday sun, the horns an exquisite amber, and its stature stately, almost godlike. The beast’s whole appearance looks unnatural and abnormal. The cow stands splendid yet forsaken, as if it is doomed to walk the earth alone, separated. With a mix of fear and longing it peers with big hazel eyes across the pool on the other shore at three distant bulls, each an ashen grey and each staring back at the confined cow, a look of…

the universe independently of the Milky Way. Globular clusters are roundish swarms of stars that orbit the Milky Way, while the Leo and Draco Systems seem to be independent collections of stars. The brightest star in Canis Major also is the brightest in the entire night sky — brilliant Sirius, which is just 8.6 light-years away. That's only twice as far as our closest stellar neighbor. Because it is the brightest star of the Great Dog, Sirius is known as the Dog Star. Its first appearance in the…

important thing on our planet to keep all things running is the sun. It gives off rays that help the plants and trees grow which give us oxygen. Within the twenty-four hour rang we have in a day the sun splits it into two halves; Night and day. However the path of they sun is always changing and is never the same. Just like any other star it rises in the east and sets in the west. As time goes by you begin noticing the sun changes its exact paths. The sun’s path through the sky is farther north…

Star Formations Every star you see at night in the sky is bigger and brighter than our sun. Stars are born within clouds of dust and gas that is spread throughout most every galaxy. The life of a star includes many stages from nebulas to the mysterious black holes. Stars are responsible for the creation and circulation of heavy elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The elements characteristics are informally bound to the characteristics of the planetary systems that may consolidate…

using Kant’s categorical imperative, Duckenfield and the Police Superiors decisions can be said to be immoral. However, analysis that uses Kant is only useful to an extent due to criticism of his theories. One issue is the complexity leads to difficulty in application (Crane and Matten). Kant details many three multifaceted maxims for ethical decision. However, Police during the incident had to make quick judgements based on limited information. Another is that people tend to make exceptions…

Climate Change; Explained By NASA Some people think “climate change” is a fancy word invented to cover up “global warming.” Global warming sounds so scary, but climate change sounds like something we can help combat or something less scary than the thought of our planet burning up because of a hole in the ozone layer. It’s remarkable how word-choice can have such a big impact on our ideas and feelings towards things. It’s also interesting to see politically how people react to each set of…

addition, the overwhelming of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide makes this new kind of energy a new hope because is commonly seen as the solution to the environmental problems. As a result, the benefits are considered the only point of view in many discussions about the theme, even though the drawbacks are significant and can be a barrier in the development of some energies like the solar. The benefits of the solar energy are commonly related to the natural resource characteristics, like the…

it and experience it, yet each and every one of us has different interpretation of it. For Spencer Murphy he sees the magnitude of power and vastness nature encompasses, yet his relationship nature consists of seeing themes such as mortality, desolation, beauty, despair, and some hope. While for me nature signifies youth, freedom, hope, life and comfort. While I respected Murphy’s series and messages he was conveying, the one particular photo that stood out the most to me was an image of a…
