Nuclear disarmament

Love is often what holds a family together. However, in the case of Addie Bundren and her family in William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, it is duty that keeps them from falling apart. After Addie Bundren’s death, her husband and children embark on a misadventure to bury her body, not necessarily out of their love for her, but because of the duty they feel to follow her request and the duty they have to fulfill other expectations. Each member uses their duty to the family’s matriarch as a way to…

electricity through the burning of fossil fuels. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we need to change the source of our energy. An alternate form of energy production that is possible immediately is nuclear. Fossil fuels are destroying the environment, and solar energy is not good enough; nuclear power is the answer to human’s energy crisis. The burning of coal is currently our main source of energy. Not only is it destroying the environment, the amount of coal left on the planet will…

defense became a huge deal because of the Cold War. With the United States and Russia going at each other and threatening to use nuclear bombs, the Federal government had to help prepare its’ citizens. The goal for the Federal Civil Defense Agency (and the following Civil Defense offices) was to “...lead and coordinate efforts to protect residents from chemical and nuclear war...” (Phillips, Neal, & Webb, 2012, p.…

Before uranium is utilized in nuclear reactors it has to be enriched. Uranium is an extremely radioactive substance that has to be mined up and processed producing a large surplus of unusable material in the process. Nuclear reactors create excessive amounts of heat through the process of nuclear fission. Steam is produced from the process moves the generators and turbines. The excavation of uranium and plutonium…

The roles of motherhood and fatherhood have been distinctly separated and distributed amongst the female and male respectively for as long as anyone can remember. Now it is clear that these roles and relationships don’t actually have to be gendered. After reading both Salvage the Bones and The Motel Life, I think one can safely say that the role of motherhood is not gendered. However, the role of fatherhood is. We see motherhood played by both male and female characters in both novels but…

I am the youngest of eight kids, but I am an only child. My father had five children, three boys and two girls, with his first wife. His first wife, Billie, became a drug addict after they wed. I’ve heard many stories about the type of mother she was throughout the years, selfish and careless. My dad worked from dawn till dark, so the kids were left to fend for themselves; this is one of my father’s biggest regrets. Let’s call this side of my family the Lawrence side. My mother had two…

Einstein thinks that Nuclear energy knowledge are able to change the world for better than before because it can produce the energy more easily. Also, he know that nuclear energy knowledge has trouble aspects that may people exploit it to hurt other people. Nevertheless, what distinguishes is production of nuclear energy is that it doesn’t need expensive materials or look for particular area to find some sources that help to product energy as oil or coal. Also, using nuclear energy has very a…

Introduction I originally was going to interview a girl from Singapore for this paper, but I had to go back home and I was not able to talk with her after all. So while I was back in my home town I interviewed a girl I went to school with, and for the sake of the paper I am going to refer to her as Sally. Before interviewing Sally I knew how our physical appearances differed, but I didn’t realize how culturally different we were. Understanding Others Sally is different from me in number of…

Our group project was based around up and coming solar technologies. The research we did as a group were framing ways that our world can collect the suns energy and make a useful output. I did my research on The Tesla Powerwall. Tesla Motors is an automobile manufacturer that has a concentration in electric motors. By producing cars with an electric motor is decreasing air pollution. The effects of air pollution are, and can be very devastating. Tesla thrives on making these motors silent and…

Nuclear weapons have come into existence within the last decade. They have changed the way wars are fought as they could lead to the total extermination of humanity. These weapons can lead to mutual destruction of nations, which really have caused humans to reevaluate the way they conduct foreign affairs. Eric Schlosser’s article “Today’s nuclear dilemma” is about the nuclear weapons that countries control and what should be done with them. Schlosser argues that the current nuclear weapons…
