universities, hospitals, chemical and nuclear plants created a large demand for private security. According to the 1990 Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, both of these require colleges and universities to publish their crime statistics annually (Blackstone & Hakim, 2013). A study done by Dameron et al (2009) found 79.9% of private colleges and 95% of public universities posted information about their campus crime statistics on their institutions…
belief in the arrival of the extraterrestrial intelligence, the fact remains that humanity has been forever changed. For the purpose of this article I will refer to the extraterrestrial intelligence by the more commonly accepted term of the Engineers. The term “engineer” has been given to the extraterrestrial race known in the scientific community as Mundus Gubernavi by doctors Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway (deceased) based on their belief of the lifeforms being responsible for…
to tinker and build things to see how they worked all throughout my childhood. On the first day of my first engineering class the professor told us characteristics of a good engineer. The first thing she said was engineers are people who like to know how and why things work and that’s when I knew I was going to be an engineer. Engineering is a profession not an occupation that requires a lot of hard work and dedication to science and math. If someone can fight through the rigorous years of…
The Chemical Warfare Service The lessons learned from the involvement of the United States in World War I would identify the need for a military organization that specialized in Chemical Warfare. The use of chemical weapons was one of the most deadly and effective tactics experienced by both sides during the trench-style warfare. Due to the concern that the chemical weapon strategies of the First World War would continue on in future armed conflicts, the United States Army created the Gas…
What’s an engineer? That first thing that comes to mind when I’m ask that question is someone “smart,” “solve problems,” or “a lot of math.” The truth is that engineering is all of that and more. To describe what an engineer does can be quite complicated because the field involves many areas. You can have mechanical, chemical, biomedical, electrical, and many others. Even if engineering is such a broad field, all these areas have something in common, solve problems. Engineers are those that use…
A person may be a great general, an efficient carpenter or a first-class pilot, a lawyer, a mechanic or a pathologist, a renowned doctor, a chemical engineer or a chartered accountant, but still may remain a semi-educated, ill-mannered, immoral, unrighteous or unjust person. Similarly, someone may be a very fine painter, a good poet; or possess a love of beauty which is highly delicate and sensitive, but may, at the same time, be cruel or brutal, or an untruthful, unsocial individual, who…

High School Teachers Versus College Professors Academic instructors play a great role in a student’s life at any point of their development in the academic institutions. The instructors have titles based on the level of institutions at which they handle the students. High school instructors are popularly referred to as teachers while the those at the college levels are known as tutors or professors. The tendency of most people to see the two types of instructors as the same is always attributed…
animals suffer deprivation, isolation, and misery. Each year in the United States, an estimated seventy million animals experimented on died and/or suffered injuries in the name of science by private institutions, household products, cosmetics companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and scientific centers. Millions of mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, and other animals live inside cold, barren cages in laboratories across the country. They ache with loneliness and long to roam…
