We live in a time where the United States have lost all hope of not collapsing like the Roman Empire. Rome dealt with a great deal of problems, problems that resulted from the many different emperors they had, problems that resulted in the collapse of their empire. One day the United States will collapse like Rome. The Romans dealt with a great deal of barbarian invasions, way more than what the United States have experienced, however the amount doesn’t change the way it breaks down a country.…

Looking back from the start of this project I feel that I knew nothing. Now I know a lot of facts about this topic. I was lucky to get the group that I have because we were all hard working and put in the same amount of effort that everyone else had put. I have learned so much including that only 7 plane crashes had crashed because of terrorism since the 2000's started. We found that finding some of the data was a little bit hard because when we typed what is the main reason for plane crashes a…

The source that I am going to talk about is called FLYING AND DRIVING AFTER SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS. It talks about how driving and flying has changed in the United States after the September 11 attacks. Was driving and flying safe in before the attacks?

New York University, or NYU, is a four-year, private, large, and co-ed university. NYU is located in arguably the best city in the world, New York. NYU is my dream school because of its great Journalism program, the many job and internship opportunities, and the chance to live in a somewhat campus setting in the middle of New York City. Although there isn’t a cohesive NYU campus, the academic buildings and residence halls surround Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. NYU’s location is…

False licenses in aviation The topic I decided to choose is about ethic conduct and academic integrity . My work field is aviation, and to introduce the topic I would like to talk about fake pilots stories. These stories are incredible, let us think a lot about how a field like aviation, hard-regulated and that puts great attention to security can be easily cheated. Commercial aviation from the beginning of its story was controlled and regulated to prevent air crashes and any sort of…
