...Abstract The researchers’ experiment aimed to determine what material would stay and remain the same with the most heat after being heated and cooled. In this way, one could see how climate in different countries and places are being affected with the materials around them. In this experiment, the materials that were used were water, salt, oil, 2 thermometers, containers, lamp/flashlight and a stopwatch. All these materials were arranged in a way that light from the lamp could be directly reach the 2 containers; this point was where the temperature of each was being recorded with the time allotted. In order to come up with a good result, the temperature was being checked after every five minutes and placed into data. The procedure was done three times for every material for the three trials. After testing, the oil absorbed a lot of heat, the water absorbed a little heat but kept it in while the soil did not absorbed much heat but when after, it was released easily. This experiment was to show how heat was being absorbed and released by different materials around. In this manner, one could associate it with the climate; how the materials surrounding the place can affect the climate and the specific materials that would greatly affect the climate in one place. CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Introduction Climate change is a lasting and significant change in the distribution of weather patterns over a period of time that may be ranging from decades to even millions...

...The recent Black Lives Matter movement also involves the issue of collective memories and how they affect societal relations. Which the killing of several black and unarmed men, women, teenagers, and children, we need to examine why we these killings are happening and why we are so hesitant to do anything or even talk about the situation. In this case, is our collective memory of the Civil Rights Movement keeping us from facing this problem? Or in some way, is society willing to sacrifice black lives, which are seen as less important due to America’s history of slavery and segregation that we still subconsciously hold on to, in order to achieve some dubious “greater good” rooted in a slanted, biased view of history? Are blacks, and all underprivileged minorities, the “collateral damage” of American society? These are kinds of questions that Zinn’s re-imagining of history should inspire. Society as a whole needs to seriously consider its own history, the collective memories that it holds on to, why it holds on to it, and how that memory affects us...

...Olugbenga Folarin Racism is to believe that all members of a race have abilities or characteristics specific to that race especially to say that another race is inferior or superior to another race or races. (Prejudice and discrimination both come with racism too.) Racism is a global problem that needs a solution that will result in endless benefits. It affects all facets of society including the learning process, which especially affects people of color. Since the 1600’s it has been hard for the of African descent persons. In education they have had a hard time prospering, like in the 1600’s; of African descent being was not allowed to even learn. In 1870, 81% of African Americans in the United States were illiterate (when only less than 9% of white Americans were illiterate). But that was because only about 9% of the African American went to school, while 50% of white American children attended school. After this key point in history, the numbers improve and things get a little better but not much. In 1896, the Plessey v, Ferguson (Plessey was a man who could easily pass for white but was jailed for sitting in a white only train car when he took matters into his own hands to challenge the separate car act .He took them to court and they made great points but the supreme court still kept the “separate but equal” law because they thought it was constitutional ).Supreme Court decision to pass equal but separate laws went through and it only made things worse for the African...

...different ways in how trauma can affect people and how trauma can shape the music around us. In this paper, I will reflect on what trauma is and how it can affect people. I will then describe three events that occurred in The United States that had a significant impact on how music changes during periods of trauma. I will first inform you about the construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway and how it created Hip Hop culture. I will then look at what ideologies were promoted within country music after 9/11. Lastly, I will look at how Hip Hop artists utilized Hurricane Katrina to point out social injustices that remain in our country. What is Trauma? My definition of trauma is that it is a painful event that creates a lasting effect on someone. It can be physical, mental or emotional. The painful event can be either man-made or natural. An example of a man-made traumatic event would be the attack on 9/11 which killed thousands of people. An example of a natural, traumatic event would be Hurricane Katrina, which also killed many people and displaced thousands from their homes. Even though not all traumatic experiences result in death, death seems to be a consistent outcome from both man-made and natural traumatic events. Trauma and death can affect people differently. The difference can occur on a cultural level, community level, family level, individual level, even a generational level. Many cultures will deal with death differently. Western societies will usually try...

...The final chapter in this book discusses the war on terror. The war on terror is focused on because, according to author Joycelyn Pollock, it is the largest issue facing our country today. The chapter begins by discussing 9/11 and the counter-terrorism measures the United States took as a result of the terrorist attack. With almost 3,000 people dying, the government began taking action and stepping up homeland security through detaining people, using private prisons in foreign countries, torturing suspects and known terrorists, wiretapping, and more. There lies an issue here with whether or not these actions taken by U.S. officials were, and are, ethical by our nation’s standards, even when attempting to secure the safety of our people.

...of the things they can do to help win the war on terrorism. In this book Maher criticizes our government for their failure to do so. Maher questions why we are not using methods that have been used in past wars to enlighten our citizenry. Things like posters to conserve our natural resources, providing the media with information for Americans to rally around, turning off lights that are not being used and the need for car-pooling or creating a more energy efficient form of public transportation. Some where I read that it takes eleven gallons of oil to burn a 75 watt light bulb for a year, now that is food for thought! Maher thinks the token support that Americans are engaged in is of little value; displaying flags, wearing support badges and hats, and the “shop until you drop” theme have little value. Maybe we should be doing more, but this is a totally new kind of war, not one where we are fighting another nation, but an ideology, that is supported by radical Islamists. What should our posters say “ Don’t Trust Muslims?”. Should our media televise pictures of Muslims in their Mosques preaching “kill all infidels”? I concur with Maher that we are not doing enough and that our government could do much more, but we must acknowledge the good with the bad or we are just arm chair quarterbacks that want to point fingers. Give our government credit that we haven’t had another 9/11 in almost 7 years. The Bush administration has almost fought this war alone as Democratic...

...University of Phoenix Material Castro Environmental Resources Worksheet Using the assigned readings for Week Four, write a 50- to 75-word response to each of the following questions. Your responses will be assessed according to the accuracy of the content. Minerals 1. How do minerals affect society? Minerals affect society in many different ways; for example salt is a mineral that is used every day to enhance the flavor of foods and it is also used to retain fluids while contributing to the replenishment of electrolytes. Another mineral such as Lignite is a form of coal that can be used for energy. 2. What is the difference between metallic and nonmetallic minerals? Provide two examples from each category and discuss their uses. Metallic and nonmetallic minerals are very different and the differences are not hard to see. Metallic minerals can be melted to make a new form; an example of a metallic mineral is iron. Nonmetallic minerals cannot be melted to create a new form; an example of nonmetallic mineral is salt. Mining 1. How are minerals extracted from the Earth and processed? Minerals can be extracted through mining, which consists of explosives, picks, and shovels. Minerals that are extracted are then processed through crushers and grinding mills to break down the minerals into small pieces. Once the more valuable minerals are detected, they will be separated from the rest of the rocks and kept. 2. What are the different ways minerals can be mined...

...Brooke Basham April 20 2014 Research Paper News coverage is always evolving. The media industry gets a jolt from certain events, which brings instant change on how the media portrays these events. The media is faced with extreme controversy because media outlets are bias. The media is a form of propaganda making their bias tendencies a serious problem. Fox news was the most popular news coverage during the 2003 invasion on Iraq. They influenced other media outlets to cover war in the same way. CNN and MSNBC do not cover war the same way as Fox. The media has a tendency to leave out important information while covering war. They usually only show the pro-war side and not the anti-war side. As we all know, the media is a huge part of our every day lives. Whether we notice it or not, television and the Internet is our main source to obtain information. It is commonly used and widespread because it is used in many countries. Today, most people have phones that can access the Internet making a source of media right at your fingertips. We want to believe everything the media says because they are delivering important information about our country, but unfortunately it is not always accurate. Some believe media coverage is mainly influenced by national contexts. Coverage is expected to vary from news station to news station (Gerhards and Schafer 2013). A news station has different journalist, which separates every station from each other. Each station may believe in different...

This project will create an evolutionary way to have the networking that we are using every second and apply it into a way to understand that if we can use both face-to-face and technology interaction our society will learn to manage technology instead of technology managing our society. We will have open areas for people to sit around and just talk about everyday stuff, and at the same exchange information that is relevant to them without any monetary transaction. There will also be a café area that will be serving hot & cold drinks, pastries, cold & hot sandwiches.
