Electric Cooperatives: Going Beyond the Wires One day in July, a girl named Alexis and her dad were reading a story before bedtime as the lights start flickering. “Daddy, why are the lights doing that?” she said terrified holding onto her dad’s arm. “Don’t worry sweetheart, that happens a lot because of the electric company. I am calling a new company tomorrow to get it fixed.” He walks out of the room after giving his…

“Up on Melancholy Hill” by the band Gorillaz is a song from their album “Plastic Beach”, which uses the extended metaphor of a beach formed by trash and plastic that has been collecting on the sea. This song takes place on the island, with two lovers looking out towards the titular Melancholy Hill, with the singer speaking to her. It uses this to make a statement about consumerism, and more specifically how many people try to fill a void inside themselves with consumerism, but can never truly…

design of treating the systems as a sequence instead of abstaining to a particular system. Jorge G. Castañeda 's Latin America 's Turn Left advocates for a system that blurs the differences that have been strictly enforced for years to divide the landmass; however, Greg Grandin 's On the Legacy of Hugo Chávez favors a system that accepts the established differences and works towards progress by catering to the ordinary citizens of the nation. Equality is not a process of giving everyone access…

In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Ever since then, millions of colonists have landed on the coast of America to settle down and make themselves a new life. Because of this, Great Britain began to notice an opportunity to make money from the colonies through interference. The arrival on America, interference by Britain, and the effects of such interference, being the Revolutionary War, developed the rich history of America. A group of disgruntled Puritans desperately seeking…

The historical norms of masculinity that led to the eradication of wolves in Yellowstone was the belief that man is a righteous hunter and wolves are seen as an evil hunter. This belief arose from the early American settler’s culture of fear of the wild creatures that they assumed inhabited the “wilderness”. The presence of wolves symbolized one 's existence with in the wildness. As such, it was long believed that wolves were an explicit representation of the wilderness. The early American…

Cosmography is the study of the known world and its place in the cosmos. This study played a significant role in our understanding of how the New World was discovered. In 1506, two men by the names of Matthias Ringmann and Martin Waldseemüller, collaborated together on a magnificent map that depicted something no one had ever seen before. Through the descriptive letters from a Florentine merchant, Amerigo Vespucci, Ringmann and Waldseemüller were able to formulate a textbook titled, Introduction…

create as one substantial city-state that ingested moving populaces and trespassers from the north and south. The political structures of Greece and Rome depended on a city-state model. Regardless, the distinction between them Greece is a mountainous landmass with a pointedly fluctuating coastline with different little islands. The nobility of every city-state protected its freedom and demoralized any endeavors to shape a monarchy. In this manner, making the association between the Greek…

is not directly in conflict with the other. At face value, A&S contradicts the notion that the United States could unify. In KW, the two theories have a lot more room to work with one another. Although KW’s theory does run into some of the same issues regarding efficiency, because it doesn’t necessarily concern the absolute unification of two or more states, it can examine the results of state interaction well short of the legitimate use of force. With Parent, the entire argument is set up to…

might even lead to a new discovery. For example, during the Second World War, while the United States military was trying to track and locate submarines, they found the proof to Alfred Wergner's theory that the continents were once a single, large landmass called Pangea. Six years before the book ends, the pilot crashed in the Desert of Sahara where he met the Little Prince. The unsatisfactory factor was that the pilot crashed and was having a hard time trying to fix the damage. The benefit of…

An arms race is a race to accumulate instruments of military power by rival states during times of peace. The idea in an arms race is to control the actions of the opposition. This creates a very unusual way to strategize during near war times. The near war times referred to here are the years of the Cold War between the Untied States and the Soviet Union. Tensions were high between the two countries, from the time in 1945, when the Soviets blocked the Polish government-in-exile in London from…
