World War II was heated by multiple factors. Some of these factors included the Treaty of Versailles, Japanese Expansion, Fascism, and Hitler. World War II officially began on September 1, 1939 and continued until September 2, 1945 (“Key”). In the beginning of the war, small arms, submachine guns, and rifles were used. In addition to guns, the hand grenade, flame thrower, and tanks were also included in the action. As the war continued, it was observed that these particular weapons needed…

There are various different approaches in psychology. An approach is a perspective (i.e. view) that comprises of certain assumptions (beliefs). In the study of human behavior each perspective has its strengths and weakness, and brings something different to the understanding of human behavior. Behaviorism Perspective Behaviorism emphasize the role of environmental factors(stimuli) in influencing behavior(reaction). Behaviorist believe that all behaviour is learned and shaped by the environment.…

In history, many women were famous because they have contributed to the society and people have written down these women's contributions in order to make them shine in the history. Marie Curie, who was a physicist and found Polonium and Radium, won a Noble Prize in Physics in 1903. She is one of the milestones in human history because she has contributed to the society. She will never be forgotten by people because of her diligent work on physics. Marie Curie was one of representative of…

female pharaoh of Egypt, suffered ridicule because she was a woman. I think of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor, and how medical colleges at first refused to allow her to attend lectures because of her sex. Marie Curie helped to discover radium, despite the perception at the time that women should not study science. Perhaps one of the more obvious examples is of Susan B. Anthony and the suffragettes in America, who endured jail and police brutality while campaigning for women’s right…

many people to be victimized because of these horrid events. Henrietta was a black women in a time of segregation and cruelness. She was diagnosed with cancer in her cervix, and as a result she was taken to the hospital and from there doctors put radium into her cervix without her consent and left it there to see if any improvement would happen(The Immortal…pg.53). After time and time again doctors and researchers cannot seem to understand the concept of privacy and human rights, they keep on…

The Immortal Live of Henrietta Lacks is a book by Rebecca Skloot is about Henrietta an African American woman who develops cervical cancer as a result of her cancerous cells which will have a major impact in medicine and science. The book is base on the hundreds of interviews Skloot did to Henrietta’s friends and families. Although her cancerous cells did help scientists with the development of treatment. It also raises a hot topic if it was right for them to use them she they have as the family…

publications, most notably the publications on "General Principles of Radiation Therapy”. This gave a detailed overview of radiotherapy and how advances were made over time, from Roentgen discovery of radiographs in 1895, the Curie family discovering radium in 1898 and radiologists drawing up treatment plans with a wax pencil on X-ray films, to MRI, combined CT, PET scanning and constructing intricate, computerized treatment plans based on 3-D images of the…

Fracking or Hydraulic fracking, is the process of injecting high pressure of water into the ground to destroy rocks known as shale rocks in order to get oil and natural gas. Fracking is a fairly simple process but has several steps involved. Before oil companies can start drilling into the ground they have to find these areas known as shale areas or tight rock formation. Once they find one of these areas, they start to drill into the ground for about a mile. After the drill has gone down for…

Austria. Here, a man by the name of Professor von Schweidler got Victor Hess interested in study different forms of radioactivity. For 10 years after graduating from Graz University, Hess served as the assistant of Stephan Meyer, a scientist who studied radium and other sciences. It was during this time that Hess began to focus radiation in the atmosphere. In the early 1900s, Victor Hess traveled very high in the sky while in a hydrogen balloon that he used to analyze the amount of radiation in…

The Bangladesh War Crime Tribunal has currently been putting criminals on trial for genocide without letting the accused defend them selfs or in Abdul Kalam Azad case, held the trial without him present. Afghanistan believes that Bangladesh War Crime Tribunal need to be reformed because of the unfair and injustice prosecution that these Jamaat-e-Islami leaders have faced. Even though the leader sported the Pakistani military when a mass murdered about three million people, they still should…
