There is natural evil, an evil which is not deliberately caused by human beings but which involve things that ‘just happen’ on random such as tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruptions, and tsunami. Now that we have defined what is evil, and the characteristics of God, we must find out what is Hume’s argument regarding the problem of…
The students walked around the track after the Red Devil’s coach called a timeout midway thru the second half of the game. As one of the Cadets cruised down the field with his hair flying back behind his head the roar of the crowd sounded like a tornado siren.

Temperatures drop. Security is provided. Spa like grainy particles generate therapeutic emotions. Comfort seeps through the crisp clean air coming from the atmosphere. Esthetic value is supplied and creates a picture of a desirable getaway. The beach. These are just the fundamental objectives of why individuals invest time and money into traveling to the oceans. However, fun in the sun can quickly vanish when concepts like quality of water, sun detection, and possibilities of sand-hole collapses…
wind, nothing but an immense ‘boogery’ cloud.” This quote sums up the horror of the infamous Dust Bowl. However, this was not the first time that a natural disaster had a personal or economic effect on the country. In 1896 when The East St. Louis tornado hit Missouri, ten million dollars worth of land and buildings were destroyed (noaa.gov). America had witnessed the capability of a single natural disaster, and the economic effect was monstrous. The same thing was true for the Dust Bowl. The…

Disasters are events that cause disruption to one's life, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires and flash floods to name a few. Catastrophes occur at the most unexpected times and most people are not prepared for these occurrences. We can never prevent them since they are caused by forces of nature. The only thing we can do is equip ourselves with items such as the best emergency food supply list that will be handy if and when such things happen. Everyone needs to purchase the best emergency food…
What Cooperatives Mean to My Community With all the political and social unrest of the past year, many people feel like they do not have a voice in their ever changing community, or they think they are not able to help the masses. However, by working with cooperatives society has a chance to positively impact its members in, helping, and caring for others.

For my book talk, I read Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige, which falls under juvenile fantasy. The story begins in Mission, Kansas, and is later moved to the world of Oz by a tornado.

If this was a fantasy, it was a strange one: this wasn’t the Oz that I had read about or seen in the movie. It was as if someone…
