Opportunities and Threats of the External Environment Microsoft has many opportunities and threats in the external environments that they need to keep abreast of. As competition continues to expand product and service lines, Microsoft will need to keep abreast of any these changes. By continually monitoring external competition as well as looking for opportunities for product and service improvement, Microsoft can continue to remain a leader in the information technology field. A threat in…

When one’s professor asks them to define a word, anyone would think that’s not so hard to do. Oh, but it was the constant over thinking with a million and one ideas entering their brain but none quite fitting to what they wanted to say. Finally, something clicked and they realized the words they wanted to use to described the word perfectly. Opportunity, the one thing everyone needs to make it in life. Opportunity means a chance at a new beginning, a chance at development and wisdom.…

Jeep Wrangler Sport vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee “Born in the heat of battle, the Go-Anywhere, Do-Anything Jeep.” The first Jeep slogan that came out when Jeeps were first introduced to consumer ownership. This slogan describes the versatility of Jeeps and how they are the type of vehicle that will do anything you want it to and will go anywhere you want it to (Jeep). Jeeps have been around for over 50 years. They are the car that adventurers typically drive if they want to have fun. There are quite…

their missions through space and walking among other planets. While it is an exciting thought that humanity may be living on another planet, such as Mars, one day, it may not be as easy as society thinks when we finally make it there. An experiment was done by NASA to simulate what it would be like for a group of people to live on terrain similar to Mars (Cornet, 2015). “A major component of the…

In this class, Core 1, we have touched on many different subjects. First, we discussed about the origins of the universe in module number one. Afterwards, we touched upon the origins of life in module number two. Currently, we talked over the origins of societies and culture in module number three. Even though the three different modules all seem to be broad and different, I believe they have an important similarity, and that is classification. As humans, we have the tendency to classify…

I’ve been on this ship with the Hesperis crew for two months now. We are somewhere in the middle of space between Earth and Venus. Travelling to Venus takes about 5 months, which means I still have three months of living (a very generous term for this situation in my opinion) in a 300 ft3 room with three other people [1, 2]. Trust me it’s not fun. It is difficult enough to live in a cramped living area by myself. The most common topic when discussing human space travel is the effects radiation…

Imagine a time where humans could travel half of the speed of light. Humans could go to mars in under 10 minutes! This time is not that far away. With the new research of antimatter, scientists have found many impressive tasks we can accomplish. Even though there are many positive aspects of antimatter, many people are scared of it. This article will discuss why antimatter is a good thing and why we should be using it more. Many of people might not know what antimatter is. Antimatter is…

The two main types of lights are the sun and the moon, respectively designated as a greater and a lesser light. One reason the moon may be lesser is because its surface reflects the light of the sun rather than creating light within itself, like the sun. The notion of a greater light and a lesser light is similarly expressed in John 1. Jesus, as the son of God, is the ‘true’ - in meaning perfect and ideal - light. John is a witness to the light, not the light itself, suggesting his figure as a…

This novel received the Nebula Award for Best Novel of the year, which was awarded by the Science Fiction Writers of America. Additionally, it is acknowledged as a work of science fiction. Yet, nowhere in the book does it mention aliens, outer space, or mutated superhumans derived from a science experiment gone wrong. Unlike the typical science fiction story, Daniel Keyes focuses on the impact that science and technology has had on the protagonist, rather than the world. Though this story does…

Anglo-Saxon, whereas all the other planets have names from the Roman or Greek gods. Mars formed four and a half billion years ago just like the Earth. The rusty red color of the planet comes from iron oxide. Since it orbits much further from the Sun, the Martian year is twice as long as the Earth’s year. Similar to Earth, it spins on its axis with its day being approximately twenty-four and a half hours long. However, Mars is only half the size of Earth, which translates into much less…
