despite their diversity earth’s inhabitants have more than their home planet in common. According to Thomas’ essay there is a good chance that all life on earth was “derived, originally from some single cell, fertilized in a bolt of lightning as the earth cooled” (p. 38, line 83-85). He explains that all members of the myriad of living things on our planet; the lark, the sparrow, the mountain lion, the mule deer, next-door neighbors, stray dogs and bunches of bananas on the kitchen table, can trace
your families into friends.” (Shakespeare p. 38) He also devises the plan to help Juliet achieve her plans of evading her marriage to Paris, while she waited fro Romeo’s return. Rivalry is another big topic throughout the play, Shakespeare even mentions it in the first line of the prologue giving the reader a preview of the tribulations these families are facing. “Two families in Verona, Italy, equally respected, Have been feuding for many years”(Shakespeare p. 5). The reader never gets an explanation
Military aviation began in the early 1900’s with rickety, under armored, under powered machines and evolved into supersonic and stealth fighters and helicopters. The skies became an important battlefield to master, a feat that would require the best of the best military aircraft. The use of military aircraft dates back as early as the 1800’s with lighter- than air flight and because of many people and developments, aviation has become a very important aspect of a country’s military. There are many
The Effect of the Air Force in World War Two “Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun, Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, at em’ boys give er’ the gun, Give er’ the gun.” The previous lines are the first part to the official United States Air Force song. The Air Force has played a huge role in all of our wars past, and current. But World War two was by far one of the first shining moments in Air Force history. The effect the Air Force had on the war was great, “The

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was a single-engine, single-seat, metal fighter plane and ground-attack aircraft that was made by the Americans. The P-40 Warhawk fighters first flew in 1938 and caught the attention of the United States Army Air Corps, who placed the largest fighter plane order it had ever made for fighters for a count of 524 at a cost of US$13 million. This was the earliest serious fighter in WWII and did its job until better fighters came out. It was known as a safe and secure aircraft
Nancy Harkness Love was one of the most influential women in aviation history. Born in 1914, the Houghton, Michigan native was the daughter of Dr. Robert and Alice Harkness. She studied at Milton Academy and Vassar, and had had her pilot’s license since the age of sixteen, while in high school. When at Milton Academy, a school that was strict about driving policies but did not have any rules against flying, she flew through a boy’s school’s campus as a prank, and got into trouble for it. When she
The Blackwater fire of 1937 was a forest fire that occurred when a lightning strike ignited a tree in the Shoshone National Forest. It lasted for 6 days and killed 15 people, injuring a further 38; David P. Godwin (investigator of the fire) said,“not since 1910 have so many lives been lost on a single national forest fire”. The fire consumed a total of 1700 acres of forest woodland1 in this time. The Blackwater fire’s dire effect therefore resulted in the methods of firefighting that were used at

moving away from the objective, property-based theories of earlier periods to a subject-based aesthetic, Kant did not intend to give up the idea that judgments of beauty are universalizable. Accordingly, the "Deduction of Judgments of Taste" (KU, § 38) aims to show how reflective aesthetic judgments can be "imputed" a priori to all human subjects. The Deduction is not successful: Kant manages only to justify the imputation of the same form of aesthetic experience to everyone; he does not show that
How the Greek revered their gods In ancient times, the Greeks had absolute and undeniable respect for their gods. They demonstrated their admiration by putting in place many rituals and celebrations to reverence the gods that they loved and feared in order to ensure harmony with them. In particular, the focus will be on the religious beliefs of the Greeks, including prayer and sacrifice, as well as on festivals and the arts, such as the ancient Olympic games and theatre. These aspects of their
Technology is a portion of everyday life. It affects how business is conducted, teaching, learning, and receiving information. Good or bad, everyone uses technology every day. There are many items people have on them on a daily basis, one would be hard pressed to be without.

Technology and Gabriel Marcel ABSTRACT: I present the arguments of Gabriel Marcel which are intended to overcome the potentially negative impact of technology on the human. Marcel is concerned with forgetting or rejecting human nature. His perspective is metaphysical. He is concerned with the attitude of the "mere technician" who is so immersed in technology that the values which promote him as an authentic person with human dignity are discredited, omitted, denied, minimized, overshadowed, or
