Light pollution

farm life, some think about the filth and all of the hard work that comes along with it, yet some think of all of the lessons learned and the tight knit community involved. On the other hand, while thinking about city life, some think about the pollution and the lack of community that it has, or thinking of the different cultures and amazing technology in a large city. In the story, “A Wagner Matinee,” author, Willa Cather uses imagery to help the reader imagine and feel what it must have been…

people. Filthy surroundings can become an inconvenience to everyone. A dirty ambience or scenery is an eyesore for everyone to see. In order for us as a whole to solve this problem we must come together. Littering awareness must be brought into the light. Littering can have a huge impact on our health. If a particular area has a littering problem, this can affect its residents whom live there. The area will become uncared for and the community will suffer from it. Severe trash can increase bugs…

in the universe: a black hole. Black holes interact with light, reflecting so little, that they do not let any escape. That is dark but the intense energies created by black holes in the process of eating stars is anything but dark. The level of complexity of light and dark that we see in the universe can also be seen in James Baldwin’s short story “Sonny’s Blues”. In “Sonny’s Blues”, James Baldwin looks past the normal literary uses of light and dark imagery as representing good and bad, but…

Taking a walk in Tate Modern I noticed that the light intensity as well as the light distribution is different in each space: the galleries from the Turbine Hall and the halls. In the galleries there are glowing light boxes displayed on the ceilings. The boxes are made out of glass and a steel frame. In addition to these there are also attached movable light bulbs on the steel skeleton of the boxes. In his article, John Hirst describes the inside of a light box: ‘Internally the boxes have…

Effects of Social Media Before social media existed the way people met each other was through face to face communication. Now when walking down the sidewalk people pretend to be on their phones so they do not have to talk or acknowledge each other. People now days lack social/people skills. Social media over the past couple of years have taken control of people’s lives. Social media is not just taking over people’s lives it is also effecting people’s brains, behavior and thinking. Social…

As clearly seen in the beginning of the documentary we see the phone box, shrouded in darkness with only one very faint source of light. This immediately provokes the audience to question: Why? What’s happening? And thus get the audience to truly become curious as to what they are looking at and to what might happen next. This technique of using the darkness rather than avoiding it…

always remember how they were treated, and the call lights are in place to help nurses deliver better care. Last semester, the nurse manager said that the patient satisfaction ratings were down to around a range of 40%. This number is extremely alarming. Most other area hospitals have patient satisfaction ratings are in the 80 to 90% range. After hearing that astonishing information, it became apparent why the numbers were so low. Call lights were not being answered by the nurses. Nurses only…

that naturally light up! In fact, many different types of creatures that live in the water light up: squid, eel, jellyfish, which can be seen to the right in figure one, and many various species of fish have the ability to do such. The ability, called bioluminescence, is defined as “ the emission of light from living organisms”, according to Merriam-Webster. More informally, it is considered the ability where a creature, which can live either on or off-land, can produce their own light. Some…

The Sun and Our Star - Have you ever questioned as to how and why we are able to dry our clothes in the summer, and to be able to heat food and treat our water? - This all thanks to the sun - Without the sun, we all would be dead, it gives us light, heat and energy to heat up the Earth - Most of the energy stays inside of the sun because of its gravitational pull, and all small amounts leave the surface in the form of radiant energy Type of star: Age: Yellow dwarf 4.5 Billion Years…
