...Technology change the world In China, we have a saying that “Science and technology is the first productive force”. Technology affects people’s daily life, with the innovation of technology, the world developed rapidly in recent centuries. Image that if our forefathers do not create new technology, how our life will be today; we will not have lots kind of food like today; we will not have vehicles such as car, train, aircraft, and we will not have so many high buildings to live. In this class, we learnt a lot of historical events before 1500 AD. In ancient time, there is no advanced technology in the world; our ancestors can merely use their hands to change the nature. Gradually, they find some regularity in the world, such as round objects can move much easier than other shape; then they use their intelligence create lots of new technologies, and innovate the technologies as needed. In this paper, I will talk about five great inventions which affect the world significantly; they are wheel, water wheel, compass, paper, and plow. The invention of the wheel is one of the most important inventions in the ancient time. Without the wheel, the world would not develop so fast. According to the existing data, the wheel is invented by the Mesopotamian in about 2500 BC ("The invention of," 2010). The development of wheel has 6 stages, starting from rolling cylinder, moving to two wheels connect with axles by spokes (Bellis, 2012). At the beginning, people realized that round objects...

...Waiting On the World to Change Same ol’, same ol’. False promises, more talking, less actions, and there is no change. It’s like now a day’s people just sit back and do nothing at all to help with the current situation of the economy and government. Politians persuade you to think like them and say things that just convince you to vote for them. The day comes when your vote puts them in office and they are just sitting there drinking some coffee. That’s the person you voted for. Then again, you turn your television on to see the news, what do you see? War, natural disasters, terrorism, or politians having an affair with their secretary? You don’t see much about how a whole city’s children received a new school funded by a celebrity or having people actually keep their promises. Then there are those who spend every penny on someone whom they do not know in Africa, South America, or in the Middle East to keep them fed and dressed; yet no matter what they do, it just isn’t enough to help them have a better life. Around the world, many foundations’ priority is helping others in need of food, education, and shelter. Those people and foundations are making this world a better place but how come it feels like nothing changes? There is still corruption in governments and awful things going on that it seems for every step forward, the world takes two step back. We aren’t moving forward because no one is totally fulfilling what they are meant to do to change the world. Yes, I am guilty...

...Drugs A great deal of attention is paid to the terrible death toll among the native inhabitants of the New World caused by the European's introduction of new diseases for which they had no immunity. It should also be noted that over half of the Europeans coming to the Americas died within a year of their arrival, usually from some fever, and that the death toll among Europeans in the interior of Africa was so great that it remained largely unexplored by them until well into the 19th century. The Europeans were quick to use native remedies for their ailments, and the bark of the chincona tree -- from which quinine was extracted -- was of great help to them. The medical establishment of Europe resisted the introduction of these new drugs, however, and it was not until the 1830's, for instance, that quinine was brought into general use. This lag has continued to be the case. It was only in 1952, for instance, that Western medical researchers recognized the value of Rauwolfia, a root that the inhabitants of India had chewed to relieve nervousness for centuries. The active substance was extracted from the root and sold as miltown, the first tranquilizer. Given this general resistance to "native remedies," the medicines and medical techniques of the new lands had relatively little effect on Europe. The importance of the drugs of the new worlds lay in another direction. We have noted that medieval Europeans displayed violent swings of emotions. Part of this may have been simply a...

...Assisting people, detecting problems, and evaluating solutions to issues, are things that interest me. Perceiving delinquency, families being ruined, and destroyed, have made me realize people live difficult lives. Beholding parents taking children just because they want custody of their child, seeing teens make the wrong decisions and experiencing a challenging outcome as a result of those decisions, finally seeing children and teens abused in their homes. If we want the world to change, then people should take initiative and try to change it. Unlike some, I will try to make a change in the world by opening a family and juvenile law firm that will help troubled teens and families experiencing difficult times. At Wilson’s family law firm,...

...Psychedelics Can Change the World Imam Hassan ITT Technical Institute Psychedelics Can Change the World Psychedelics have been used by humans for thousands of years if not since the beginning of human history. They have been used for recreation, meditation and healing. From substances like Psilocybin Mushrooms to Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), these compounds seem to have a profound effect on the human mind and consciousness. The consumption of psychedelics has been a touchy and controversial subject for decades, especially since the beginning of the War on Drugs in 1971. Most people today go on throughout their entire lives from birth to death without knowing compounds like these psychedelic drugs even exist, let alone know how profoundly it can change their views on life forever. To understand how these drugs can change the world, this paper will address these following questions: 1. Why are these substances illegal in most civilized societies? 2. How do these compounds affect human consciousness? 3. What kind of experiences does one have while on these substances? 4. How can these substances change the mindset of an individual? This paper focuses on addressing these questions. Once addressed, one can see how these substances can change the world for the benefit of all living beings and the planet itself. Why Are These Substances Illegal In Most Civilized Societies? In society today, most countries on Earth have most psychedelic drugs added to their...

...In the book War and Change in World Politics, Robert Gilpin presents a rationalist and realistic argument for international relations. The argument is that an international system is created because actors create social, political and economical structures to advance their interests. The structure reflects the interests of those who are most dominant in the system. The structure will inevitably change due to many reasons that are provided throughout the book. Robert Gilpin succeeds in providing support for his main argument by applying his theories to many examples in history. His reasoning in supporting his argument were clear, concise and easy to follow, which made the book a pleasurable read. The book starts out by providing four assumptions, which divides the book into 4 sections. In each section Gilpin provides examples that are heavily rational and applicable. This division made the book easy to follow and helped readers to understand how each assumption supported the argument. Each assumption was used to support the main argument of the book. The first assumption that was used is “An international system is stable if no state believes it profitable to attempt to change the system.” (Gilpin, page 11). Gilpins approach to support this assumption is of a realist approach. Gilpin starts out by supporting his argument through deductive reasoning. These reasons are carried out in an informative manner that can be easily supported by historical events and examples. As he...

...EDUCATION IS THE TOOL TO CHANGE THE WORLD- OMOTOLA OSUNRINDE There has always been a universal appreciation that education is linked to development. Education has been found to influence the quality of lives of citizens. It no doubt has a significant role to play in accelerating the economic and social development of any nation. Not only does it produce escape from the chains of ignorance, poverty, disaster, conflict, civil unrest etc., it also helps in creating the vibrant civil society which engages in nation-building. UNESCO (2002) reports that in developing countries, every additional year of education can increase a person’s future income by an average of 10 (ten) percent. This fact is very important, especially when viewed in light of poverty stricken nations determined to pull themselves out of the dilemma. Jackson (2006) ascertains that no country can fully develop economically and socially if it fails to tap and fully utilize the talent of its citizens. Hence, the development and competitiveness of a nation depends on the efficient and effective use of its resources. Human talent is a critical resource, thus, the education and utilization of skills of citizens determines to a large extent, a nation’s building and development. A look at the history of international treaties over the last six decades shows a significant improvement in the educational status. The demand for education in developing countries like India has skyrocketed, as education is still regarded...

...How environment development will change the world The world faces major environmental challenges, with far-reaching consequences not just for human beings, but for the entire biosphere. Issues such as climate change, the risks posed by genetic engineering, biodiversity loss, desertification, looming water scarcity, depletion of oil reserves and the growing need for energy conservation have massive implications for the planet as a whole. However, finding workable solutions are challenging as environmental management often appear to conflict with economic growth, and the driving forces of economic globalisation have resulted in environmental issues being lowered on national agendas to a significant extent. Through my previous work experience as an environmental analyst, I deeply realised that analysis is one thing, having the foresight and the ability and strength to manage it is another thing altogether. Therefore, I am pursuing a second postgraduate degree in Environment Change and Management in order to be well-equipped with the tools to cope with the environment management. During my undergraduate years, I was a major in Biotechnology at the College of Life Sciences, XXX University - the most prestigious university in China. My hard work and industry brought me an excellent GPA that was among the top five percent in the entire grade and I was twice awarded scholarships in the college. During the seven months' final project, I participated in a XXXXXX project: "Study of...

...We tend to throw around the word "poverty" a lot nowadays but do any of us really bother to think about it? I mean, do any of us think about its effect on the world and on us as humans? I for one, don’t! I mean to be totally honest, I very rarely think about the one billion or so people living in absolute poverty around the world! Today’s youth are our students. Students do pay a vital role in the society and how a society is shaped generation after generations. I think there are few contributions that a person can give to improve our society, but this little contribution can change the world . As a physical therapy student I am always asking myself what can I contribute in our society? Even I am not done yet with my studies how can I affect and help the world and my fellowmen? February 14, 2015 we conducted our outreach program regarding in awareness and prevention in joint pains as related in our course, in creek side, green valley, San Nicolas 3, Bacoor Cavite. It was the day of hearts (valentines day) so we’re all excited to meet our dates, the women in that barangay. As we walk to the barangay we met those kids who are very thin they are asking for food that we brought they captured and softened my heart because at their young age I think 2-4 years old they’re experiencing that tragedy of life,then I was remember I am always wasting some foods instead of giving it to those in needs, it’s alas and my conscience killing me in that time. As we started the program, as one...

...Steve Jobs had always wanted to change the world. Ever since Jobs was young, he was fascinated with technology. When Jobs was first born, he was given up for adoption. He was taken into a family who were Armenian, and were unable to conceive, Paul and Clara Jobs. According to an article, the judge that gave Paul and Clara ownership of Steve was Laura S.

When inventing the printing press Gutenberg said, “It is a press, certainly, but a press from which shall flow in inexhaustible steams… Through it, God will spread His Word. A spring of truth shall flow from it: like a new star it shall scatter the darkness of ignorance, and cause a light to heretofore unknown to shine amongst men.” His invention caused a light to be scattered throughout our dark world making the earth overall a better place. Through Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press, he gave us light in our dark world by being the first to print the Bible. “Johannes Gutenberg...
