The Invaders

beginning of exploration countless species are constantly being introduced to the continent. Some species don’t survive the harsh climate; however there are some non-native plants and animals that can. Interestingly, Antarctica isn’t the first place the invaders have taken over: “Some of these species have already proven to be invasive in the other places.” (qtd in Powell). This says something about the specie and just how adaptable some plants and animals are. Although there are some…

ecosystems which comes from invasive species. Invasive species are a non-native organisms (or plant) alien to an ecosystem. These invaders are capable of sweeping across aggressively into a habitat and taking over the resources like food, sunlight, nutrients, water, and space. Their invasion mostly likely causes economic or environmental harm, and could harm human health. One invader in particular is the Aedes albopictus, also known as the Asian tiger mosquito. The Asian tiger mosquito has a…

When scrolling through Facebook during vacation, I stumbled upon this article claiming that unprecedented steps have been taken to improve cancer therapies. For years, the topic of cancer and the treatments for the disease has always interested me and the astonishing exclamation that “more than half of terminally ill blood cancer patients experienced complete remission in early clinical trials” in the article’s subtitle just seemed to heighten my interest even further. However, this not the only…

tree-bleeding because they were chopping down the forest. They were being used like slaves to harm Nature. This shows how man is hurting and killing nature. Nature is bleeding because she is injured. This is described when “Strangers”, the term to mean the invaders, started to build cabins and cut trees. “They hunt animals with guns that thunder in the forest” (p. 49). Now the people have a treacherous relationship to Nature. This shows a big shift from the time of…

It is no surprise that is is much better to prevent a disease than to treat it. Disease prevention, made possible in part by proper childhood vaccinations, is the key to public health. Infectious diseases that once were common in this country have been brought under control or eliminated completely. The list is long, including polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and influenza. Perhaps one of the most devastating diseases in history…

loyalty to one another to fall. The men are a cross section of Englaland. Aelfwine from Mercia, Ashforth a northumbrian hostage, Leofsunu from Stour, Dunnere, a humble free man. They exhort each other to avenge their lord, to fight the viking invader, to remember their allegiance to their lord and king. To stand fast together against the viking horde. The social function of this text is to emphasise the coherence of the english kingdom and to rally the people against the danes. Just as…

How Christianity Led to the Fall of Rome The Roman Empire fell to many declines, and unbelievably, the rise of Christianity is one of the declines. The rise of Christianity all officially started when Constantine the Great, (Emperor from 306-337 AD) made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. As a consequence, they had to tear down old temples where the Romans worshiped their gods and build new churches on top of them which made people upset. Also, there were some…

“The immune system is a network of cells and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by 'foreign ' invaders. These invaders are primarily germs--tiny infection- causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi” (9.1 Mind and Immunity). The job of the immunes system is to keep out and destroy these “foreign invaders”. Organs of the immune system are called lymphoid organs that have lymphocytes (small white cells that are produced in bone marrow and fight…

14 These invaders were familiar with the social, political and legal institutions of the Roman empire, they had often relied upon trading their agricultural products with the empire and mostly wanted protection from outside threats. 15 The Romans in the West were therefore familiar with the Barbarians and did not see them as much of a threat, however as the period went on more Germanic invaders entered the empire, with three tribes in particular, the…

Both the invasions were disastrous. Many people lost their lives. Both Taimur as well as Nadir Shah had extensively looted Delhi which resulted in Delhi losing a lot of it’s pride. The invaders throughout their reign just focused on increasing their wealth and military strength. They ignored all administration related work. The author in this book argues that if there would have been no discrimination between religions at that time, we…
