Melting

The Freezing point of water is 32° fahrenheit, But does anything affect the freezing point of water? The effect of salt and sugar lowering water’s freezing point is called Freezing Point Depression(FPD). When water freezes, its molecules slow down and “stick” together, and eventually slow down so much they stay in place and become a solid. However when salt or sugar is added, it “interferes with the formation of the crystalline bonds between water molecules that give ice its solidity”, Written…

In David Brook’s article, “People Like Us”, he discusses how America is not really diverse. The United States as a whole has always identified as being a diverse country. In a way, this is true. There are people of all kinds of races, religions, personalities, political views, interest, and so forth, but yet there is still a lack of diversity. Diversity would be when all of the nation would be unified despite differences. I think David Brook`s makes a valid point in “People Like Us” when he…

The American phrase “melting pot” is supposed to represent the idea that all people from different backgrounds are able to live together in equality. Conversely, Hyppolite’s experiences in America challenge this idea when she grows up with racism and is excluded from all social events because she is Haitian. Being Dyaspora brings her closer to the other Haitians in her community, but it also distances her from the caucasian portion. Notwithstanding, Hyppolite’s experiences with apartheid growing…

immigrants. Today we have 61 million immigrants in the United States including many who are undocumented immigrants. We are a diverse country with many cultural ethical backgrounds. Our country is nicknamed the “American Melting Pot”. Stated by vocabulary.com’s dictionary, “A melting pot is a metaphor for a society where many different types of people blend together as one” The meaning of the term is a metaphor where many people from different ethnicities coexist as one. Many people from…

Often America is referred to as “The large melting pot.” The idea that the United States is a land of opportunity, where anyone can come and blend into a new breed that is uniquely American. However, the cultural diversity in America is clearly evident, from physical characteristics to different religious beliefs and customs. As minorities immigrate to America and attempt to assimilate into society, they are forced to live a pluralistic lifestyle of blending with the current society, while…

It’s a fact: Antarctica is melting. According to researchers from Caltech, seawater surrounding the continent is slowly melting the ice. But exactly how did the warmer water come into contact with Antarctica? Using dolphin-like robotic gliders, the researchers have uncovered the answer: storm-like underwater eddies (water flows) are to blame. The paper, co-authored by Karen Heywood, Andrew Thompson, and others, sheds light on the exact process. “When you have a melting slab of ice, it can…

America: the Melting Pot of Capitalism The "melting pot" phrase normally applies to the formation of American culture mostly shaping in the early to mid nineteen hundreds when a flood of immigrants came to America looking for anything new ranging from a new job opportunity to religious freedom. The particular time also incited a stricter formation of social classes with the lower class handling poverty and cases of starvation, middle class being families with median income mostly able to provide…

how people view our country as a whole. Of the two sayings, I believe that the “America is a melting pot” is the most used and is in my eyes the best description of what our country was built to be originally. While it does match well with what the country foundation was as to how our country was established, I do not believe it to be in all entirety solidified as to represent what we do with the melting pot of different cultures and races in general. Many people come to our country with hope of…

The world came together from everyone migrating one place to another. Our nation, the United States of America, was made from immigrants. There’s a good amount of every nationality here. If we didn’t have diversity, life would be quite boring. Having different languages, and cultures is fun learning about and experiencing. Others have their own opinions on major topics. Some people believe immigration should be stopped, and others think differently. Immigration reform mainly focuses on…
