Richard Kuklinski in my opinion was a serial killer. Due to the abuse he received not just from his parents but also his neighbors and classmates this would be used as an excuse for why Richard did what he did. Richard upbringing was not like so many ordinary families where both parents lived in the house and both was involved in the child’s life, and there main focus was the best interest of the child. Richards’s parents were involved in his upbringing but in a way that caused him to lose a part of humanism which will cause harm to so many people. Because of the abuse his father bestowed upon him, and to his siblings this had an unfavorable outcome on Richard. Another thing that I believed that caused Richard to not have any emotions for life was he watch his father beat his older brother to death and made his mother lie to the police on what happened to his brother. Here are some of the things that took place in Richards’s life that are questionable to whether this cause him to become what he became or was it just an excuse for him to lean on. I will dig into some of his life and then do my comparison at the end of my brief summary of Mr. Kuklinski life history.
Richard Kuklinski was a devoted husband and a father of three beautiful children living in a middle class neighborhood in Jersey City New Jersey. Mr. Kuklinski committed over 200 murders in a decade’s time which to this day was noted as the most murders committed by any one person in the history of the United States known to man. Richard was a unique person because he was able to live two lives while not only throwing off his family of what he did for a living but also his neighbors. His wife of over forty years never questioned her husband of where he was going when he left the house all hours of the night. All she knew his job

Ice Candy Man

...the control of their life in their own arms, which actually volumes to an act of fantastic defiance, especially if we keep in thoughts the particular conditions of Ayah’s situation. Thus, though being a novel which seemingly prioritizes a man at least in its name, Ice-Candy-Man slightly but successfully subvert discussion of patriarchy and rights women will, option and durability along with the feministic features of sympathy and becoming a mother. In her novel The Ice-Candy-Man, Sidhwa deals with the problem of communal riots in the wake of Partition. Sidhwa's depiction of communal riots is touching as well as shocking. Children and women suffer the most. The horrors of Partition are depicted without histrionics. Lenny, the child narrator is eight year old. She suffers from Polio and records her observations about her surroundings in a detached manner. She observes social change around her and narrates it from a child's point of view. Lenni's mother, Mrs. Sethi and other Parsi women help Hindu and Sikh families and kidnapped Hindu women to move to safer places. Lenny's Godmother rescues the Hindu Ayah who had been forcibly married to her Muslim friend, the seller of ice-candies. Ayah reaches Amritsar safely. The analysis ofIce-Candy-Man reveals that the female characters pulsate with a will and life of their own. While these characters are unselfconscious of the biological essential ism of their sex, they cut loose the constraints imposed by the gender which is a...

Romeo and Julier

...from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, A luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. Analysis The man in this story has walked at night a lot. He’s walked both away and back, probably his home, in the rain. He has walked out in to the city, and past the lights, maybe out of the city, and he’s looked down lonely, dark streets. The man has walked by a watch man, and look at him because he didn’t want to say why he was there, not even with a glance. The man stops because he wants to listen to a voice calling from the other street. He hoped the voice was calling for him. The man looks up at a clock, which probably is the moon, he was not satisfied with the time it showed. He ends by referring to the first line of the poem. I picked this picture for the poem because it connects so well with the poem. In the poem it says the man walked past the lights and back. In the picture it shows a man walking past city lights. The poem states that the man has looked down dark and lonely streets, in the picture the street looks very lonely and it is dark. In the picture the man looks like he is walking in the rain and it looks very mysterious and creepy just like the poem. The picture connects with...

Climate Change Is a Natural Process, Not Man-Made

...Climate Change is a Natural Process, not Man-Made Lanson D Owen II Friends University Abstract One of the most important and controversial environmental issues facing the world today is the changing of the climate. Many think it is man-made but fail to understand the fascinating natural cycles of how complex the geological history of planet earth is. It is a difficult subject to take in, so the public has to rely on experts for making the information understandable. The problem with relying on a group of people to make decisions for the public is they have the ability to manipulate the data to back their point of view. It has been scientifically proven and accepted by many scientist that mini global warming and global cooling periods have been present in the earth’s history. These fascinating scientific facts of earth’s history have been totally knocked out by the massive hype that man is responsible for climate change. Overall, climate change tends to be reported as explanations about general tendencies and possible outcomes. Climate Change is a Natural Process, not Man-Made It seems like everyone in the world has an opinion about what might be causing the climate of the world to change. Recently there has been a common scientific consensus that claims to know what is causing the climate to change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is stating carbon dioxide is causing the climate to change, the oceans are warming, and the temperature is rising faster...

Flour for Your Grave

...By Pernille Ferdinandsen. 2. I am going to make a characterization on Victor, his 2 friends and ICE MAN. Then I am going to focus on the theme and message in the text. Victor is from Arizona, he came to Palm Springs with his boss, to work. Victor is holding one hand in the air, when he is riding bulls, he is very cool and do not bother if the bull is angry, he just walk away with his back to the danger. The behavior he have, when he rides bulls, also shows in his behavior in other part of his life. Example, when he is in the bar celebrating his first place with his friends, and the ICE MAN is rude to them, he shows no fear of authority, and starts to mock.  “My Mimbreño Apache name is Deer With Horns Running Through the Woods Being Chased by a White Dude Wearing a Cowboy Hat.” (ll. 105-106) , He know that will infuriate the ICE MAN.

Climate Change and Global Warming

...over the course of many years, the number of times El Nino conditions occur may decade changes in the global climate. Variations in the behaviour of the weather over long time periods, such as from one century another, are referred to as climate change. Climate itself adjusts from the times of 'ice ages,' hen huge ice sheets covered large areas that are currently ice-free, to periods similar to today hen ice sheets are largely confined to Antarctica, Greenland, and the floating Arctic sea ice. Paleo-climate records indicate that much of the climate changes over the last two million years occured in a rather cyclical manner; with glacial periods lasting roughly 100,000 years with warmer interglacial periods of 10,000 years occurring in between. The sun, of course, is the ultimate source of heat energy reaching the Earth, fueling our weather systems, and establishing our major climate zones. There is, however, good evidence that larger variations in the sun's activity do occur. For example, during the last half of the 17th century, there was a period of greatly reduced solar activity. This was also a time of harsh winters and extended bitter cold referred to as the Little Ice Age. Scientists do not yet understand the underlying...

A Polar Expedition

...the polar seas” (Sverdrup 2014 pg. 14). He was a clear headed man who didn’t let other’s opinions influence him and was willing to take risks in his work. It was his theory that the current would take him to the North Pole and then south toward Greenland (Adams 2014). While his name may never become a common household name without his brave and successful journey the world of oceanography may not be where it is today. All of these combined make him an excellent topic for an oceanography paper. Fridjof Nansen was more however then just an oceanographer. Before the Fram expedition he was already a well-recognized zoologist, and had been made the curator of zoology at eh Bergen Museum. As stated by Harald Sverdrup, “He wrote papers on zoological and histological subjects, illustrated by excellent drawings” (Sverdrup 2013). Shortly after this his interests moved to the physical side of oceanography. He became an oceanography instructor at the University of Kristina and on his two most successful artic expeditions most of the data was collected by Nansen himself (Sverdrup 2013). Before going on his famous expedition to the Arctic Ocean he had already began his work in oceanography by taking a group of five other men to Greenland’s icecaps to gain further knowledge on continental glaciers. Friftjof Nansen and his team of five men were successful in their expedition and became the first person to cross Greenland’s ice cap, and provided support to the isostatic rebound theory. This...

They lived in the grasslands of Africa, the tropical rainforest of South-East Asia and the more temperate areas of southern Europe. The changing in climate, amount of free water and rainfall had affected the amount of lands that used by prehistoric man for feeding the herds and growing the plants. Climatic changes had lead to the evolution of prehistoric man himself such as development of stone tools, site organization, the building of shelter and the use of clothing.

Shackleton

...Running head: SHACKLETON: THE LEADER Shackleton: The Leader Chris Pilkington Chapman University Foundations of Organizational Leadership OLCU 600 Dr. James Liberty Dec 16, 2006 Shackleton: The Leader For some, Ernest Shackleton’s pursuit of being the first to cross the Antarctic on foot was a complete failure, as he never made it to Antarctica. However, for those who study leadership his failure was nothing short of extraordinary. Trapped for almost two years on the ice floes of the Antarctic without proper rations, the group watched their ship crushed by those same floes, and without the modern day artic expeditionary gear, Shackleton kept the hope of reaching land alive in all of his men. What were the leadership skills, traits, abilities, or style that allowed Shackleton to hold this group of 27 men together for just under two years? Arguably, Shackleton was a transformational leader using many of the other types of leadership, such as the skills approach, the trait theory, and the path-goal theory as written by Northouse. Although I consider Shackleton a transformational leader, arguments based around a skills approach type of leadership for Shackleton are possible. According to Northouse a skills type of approach to leadership “imply what leaders can accomplish whereas traits imply who leaders are” (Northouse, 2004, 36). Northouse goes on to give the three-management skills necessary at different levels of an organization as technical...

Global Warming: Crisis or Conspiracy

...Survey of Science and Technology in Society Global Warming: Crisis or Conspiracy What is global warming? Or climate change for that matter? How did it start? How will it continue? What will happen to humanity? Will it one day be gone, due to our own ignorance? These are some of the questions raised by a percentage of the society who believe in the facts and evidences presented by the scientists and environmentalists. While the other part of the society seem divided over this issue, these groups of skeptic individuals, strongly deny the theory that global warming is a big issue and require urgent attention. Their beliefs are based on scientific facts too. So what’s right and who’s wrong? The debate doesn’t seem to stop. To begin with, Global warming is the continuing rise in the average temperature of the earth’s climate system, forcing it to change. Though change in climate is nothing new for the earth, according to the evidence and facts provided by the article “Global Climate Change” posted in NASA’s official website, the Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives. The current warming trend, however, is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in...

Reaction Paper

...Reaction Paper On Immortality On Ice The movie that we watched was about reviving a person from the dead. This is said to be done in the future but they had already started researching how to use ice as a power to revive a clinically dead person. They used ice as a method to preserve a body and now they are planning on how to revive a person through the use of nanotechnology that can repair all the cells that were ruptured n the freezing process. The technology that they were referring in the movie is called Cryonics. This Cryonics would enable a man to prolong his life and at the same time be able to revive himself in certain conditions. As a technology, it also has technological system which various aspects. The first aspect is the techniques or human activity-form. In the Cryonics, it was seen on how people preserved a dead body. In Egypt, the dead people were mummified and preserved in order to reach the second life. In Cryonics, they also want to follow this ritual or activity. They want to preserved a dead body in order to revive it and not for the preparation of the afterlife. With this technology, they can prolong the life of a person or they can make people “immortal”. The technique that they will use in technology is the power of ice to preserve a dead body. Their example is a frog that was frozen to dead and was still able to revive itself when the ice melted. The second aspect of the technological system is resources, tools, or materials. In studying Cryonics and...
