Some people may think the Titanic should be brought up to the surface. I believe the Titanic shouldn't be brought up. It's already falling apart, if we tried to bring it up it would most likely get destroyed in the process. It's basically a gravesite for over 1,000 people, so moving it would be like digging up a grave. Plus, it would cost thousands, perhaps millions to bring it up. I don't believe it should be brought up, because it will most likely break in the process. If it starts…

I was a young, reckless 18-year-old man from a city in Illinois called Aurora. I shipped off to basic training for the military right after graduating high school. I arrived at my first duty station after basic training and advanced training to be an automated logistical specialist, which I would be in the Army. The deployments that lay ahead would cause me to change for the better. The duty station was overseas in Germany. People were speaking a language that I was unfamiliar with and driving…

On April 15, 1912, the Titanic sunk, not to be seen again until 1985. The large wreck would leave behind thousands of artifacts waiting to be analyzed and displayed.

With time though, legal procedures were worked out and technology advanced enough to fully handle the remains of the Titanic. Primarily, underwater…

and accomplish technological advancements that the Soviet Union could not match. For example, the administration fought a larger naval force with improved technical abilities, deployment of intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe, development…

Drone Wars: The Ethical Tug of War Unseen, unmanned, just as, if not more, lethal as any other weapon of war. Although there are benefits to using unmanned vehicles, also known as drones, to make assaults on enemies, there are plenty of ethical and moral dilemmas that come along with them. Although drones save soldiers lives, they also put more civilian lives in danger, and in turn, cause more civilian casualties than if foot soldiers were used. Along with civilian casualties being a major…

I went to a private, jewish elementary school. There were about 40 kids in my grade, and we were all white. The school raised us to believe in God, and only the jewish religion. No one really questioned it, because it was the only way of living we knew. Everything was perfect for every family, except for mine. In second grade my dad was diagnosed with cancer. At the time I was too young and ignorant to really know what that meant, I just knew that it was bad. Two years later he passed away. For…

“The mouse that roared” was the label placed on the legendary M16 as it claimed responsibility for utterly destroying hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese militants and fighters (Parsons). The M16 was and currently is an assault rifle that was developed by an American engineer named Eugene Stoner (Morgan). The development of the M16 was significant due to the revolutionary design and accuracy that saved many Americans their lives. Even though the M16 is still the weapon of choice today…

Robert Oppenheimer and thousands of other intelligent scientists were appointed to work on the development of the world’s first nuclear weapon, that was used to bomb the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending World War Two. Soon after Japan's surrender,Oppenheimer resigned from his position as director of Los Alamos. A week later, Oppenheimer continued his talks with top officials. He walked into President Truman's office to discuss international cooperation, and the goal of stopping…

called Bikini Atoll in the Marshall islands. Including the world's first Hydrogen bomb and many other nuclear weapons. Similarly the US navy used Kaho’olawe as a bomb testing and training site. I’ll be giving you some insight on the testing of the two and comparing them. Starting off, some background on Bikini Atoll. Bikini Atoll or Operation Crossroads was a government testing site of 23 nuclear bombs. Including the world's first hydrogen bomb that was the equivalent to 10,000,000 tons of…

Korea’s nuclear threat. To start off, the impact of the Cold War on life during the 1950’s and 1960’s can be measured military. It all started when the Soviet Union built the Berlin wall in order to spread communism. The United…
