Plastic water bottles are very convenient, but are also a big scam. It is very important for people to stay hydrated. Water bottles allow people to stay hydrated while they are out of the house. People don't want to become tired from being dehydrated, so they bring water with them. Water bottles are very popular, even though most of them are just tap water. The three texts I read, all show advantages and disadvantages of plastic water bottles. Each article also uses all three persuasive appeals, ethos, pathos and logos.

The United States Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) came into existence by Army Captain Alden Patridge with the National Defense Act of 1916.The focus of JROTC was on secondary schools which is grades nine through twelve. Under the provisions of the Act, high schools were given the loan of federal military equipment and the assignment of active duty military personnel to be instructors. In 1964, the Vitalization Act opened JROTC up to the other services and replaced most of the active duty instructors with retirees who worked for and were cost shared by different schools. “Making the best military officers in the world; motivating young people to be better citizens”.

Since the invention of writing, civilizations have documented the accounts of how they believe themselves and the world around them were created. In this essay, I will describe and explain three of these ancient creation accounts. First, I will summarize the Enuma Elish, the creation myth of the Mesopotamian civilization. Second, I will summarize the Book of Genesis, the creation story of the ancient Israelites. Lastly, I will summarize Theogony, the creation epic of the ancient Greek people. Following my summarizations, I will compare and contrast these accounts by several criteria. I will examine: how the world was created; who created the world; what was created; and what was present at the time of creation.

(Zamira Rahim, CNN) * Canadian baby given health card without sex designation. Searyl Atli Doty is probably the first baby in history to be born without an assigned gender stated on a government issued I.D. card. The parent of the infant avoided delivering their child in a medical facility so that the baby would not have to encounter a “genital inspection” in the hands of the medical system. Normally on a health document, there is always an indication of the sex whether it’s a male or female. There never was a third option until now which is the letter “U” defined as unknown or unspecified. Kori Doty, Searyl’s parent identifies as a non-binary transgender. They are part of the “Gender Free I.D. Coalition” campaign. As stated on their website,
Otzi shows us that life for early humans was based on a lot of human interaction. Some would think of early humans as these non-intellectual, gorilla-like species that liked to hit rocks together and make grunting noises. They were much more than that. The discovery of Otzi’s body shows us this. He shows us that early humans lived in groups, and like today, they communicated with each other. Maybe even a lot more than most think. They worked together in groups to create tools and other material objects in order to survive through communication. I doubt that Otzi alone would have been able to construct everything he had on him when he died. When he died, scientists found multiple objects and tools that proves this. On him he had a copper
Every year, an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste enters our environment, severely polluting oceans, beaches, forests, and even the towns and cities we live in. In the ocean alone, it is believed that 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic pollutes the waters (“Plastic Statistics”, Ocean Crusaders).The majority of plastic pollution can be traced back to single-use items, such as grocery bags, bottles, and plastic packaging. According to United Nations Environment, “At the rate we are dumping items such as plastic bottles, bags and cups after a single use, by 2050 oceans will carry more plastic than fish…” (“UN Declares War on Ocean Plastic”, UN Environment). This pollution is a major problem and endangers not only the environment, but human
Leonard shows us how passionate she is about the topic and how she ventured across the world to see how consumerism is affecting not only us, but countries all over the world. She worked hard in her research to show us that the plastic bottle is a concept that can destroy our ecosystems and in return hurt us as individuals.
Using plastic bags are second nature to people in this day and age. Warner acknowledges, “Much to the dismay of the environmentally conscious citizens worldwide, the ubiquity of the free plastic carryout bag has bred nonchalant consumers who take this modern convenience for granted” (646). Although some people are conscious about the environment, people strive more for convenience and do not think about the impacts using bags have not only on the environment, but on themselves as well. If something is bad for the environment, it will alternatively be bad for humans as well. When plastic bags are exposed to the sun from being littered all around, the ultraviolet rays cause the substances of plastic bags to weaken. After the substances weaken, the substances become invisible to the naked eye. The substances that are no longer able to be seen are toxic to humans (Warner 649). As a result of plastic bags being littered around, animals consume plastic bags. This is negatively affects humans because animals are often consumed. When humans consume animals like, fish, there can be plastic in the fish’s belly, which then transfers to the humans and this poses a concern for human’s health. Humans are negatively affected by plastic bags because of the toxic chemicals in plastic bags, as well as, consuming animals with plastic in their

Millions of plastic bags are given out to consumers by supermarkets and stores to carry their goods in. They are also cheap, light, durable, easy to carry and in many cases, free. The most commonly used shopping bag is made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This type is used in the majority of supermarkets and stores. After these bags are used, they often end up in landfills or as litter, roughly only three percent of plastic bags is actually recycled per year (Planet Ark, 2011). The materials used in making plastic bags make them non-biodegradable. According to the science dictionary, 2011 refers to “these materials cannot be decomposed into environmentally safe waste materials by the action of soil bacteria.” These harmful substances are toxic and take approximately four hundred years to break down, or in this case photo-degrade; which is how plastics made from (HDPE) break down. Since they are not biodegradable, they remain in the environment and are absorbed in soil or water (Indian Centre for Plastics in the Environment, 2010). This essay will discuss the various harmful effects of plastic bags, and demonstrate the risks that these bags impose on humans, animals and the environment. It will also discuss a series of suggested solutions that could help reduce plastic bag usage.
Everyone has heard a cashier one time or another mumble, “Paper or plastic?” as he put their groceries in a bag, but do shoppers know the effects of each vessel in which they carry their comestibles? There are many issues and benefits to both paper and plastic. The making and recycling of both paper and plastic bags can harm the environment. One must also look at the costs of making each bag. The convenience of each is also something to look at. Many people jump to conclusion that paper bags are better for the environment without knowing the facts. Since plastic bags are preferred by customers and plastic bags actually do not hurt the environment as much as paper ones do, consumers should feel at ease when choosing plastic.
Being convenient enough for everyday use and even tasting better to some, plastic bottles are a popular way of consuming beverages. They are convenient and to some people, can even taste better.
