    “Date Which Will Live in Infamy,” an article which was written by Stuart Thornton, illustrates the callous attack organized by Japan on the American naval base in Pearl Harbor and describes America’s vengeful retaliation in response to the attack. The article first explains how the attack on Pearl Harbor was conducted in two significant “waves” which were used to target the Pacific Fleet. The first wave included the use of 91 torpedo planes which were armed with torpedoes that could run in shallow water and effectively inflict damage on massive ships. The second wave consisted of dive-bombers and fighter aircrafts known as “Zeroes.” Thornton expresses the immense threat that these aircrafts brought to World War II as he states that, “zeroes had an enormous range, able to fly more than…

    why men don't last

    • 592 Words

    In the article "Why Men Don’t Last," Natalie Angier discusses the topic of why men don’t live as long as women; even though they almost always appear to be healthier. The first reason Angier gives as to why men die sooner than a woman is: they are stubborn about going to the doctors for regular check-ups. Men say they don’t need doctors and refuse; this leads to health problems that could have been prevented. Next it's because men are more likely to either drive more carelessly than women or drunk after a night out. Men are also more likely than women to be alcoholics and drug addicts. Angier also states that men are more likely to carry out a suicide attempt. Women tend to think more about it; men tend to think about it and actually do it because they don’t want to admit that they failed or are not good at something. The final reason Angier gives is: men die sooner than women because they are bigger risk-takers. Men tend to do more things that can potentially be harmful. On the other hands, Angier discusses is how men perceive how they are supposed to act: tough, macho, independent, and that they shouldn’t cry or be a mama's boy and that they can survive on their own. However, what men don’t know is that they really do need someone to care for.…

    Turning point in history

    Nearly twenty years after the revolutionary War began, the United States government faced a small-scale revolution by some of its own citizens. As in the previous war, taxes were a central issue. And Alexander Hamilton understood that putting down this rebellion was critical to the life of the nation. In order to create a self-supporting and effective government, Treasury Secretary Hamilton knew he needed to find a steady source of revenue. He proposed an excise tax on whiskey produced in the United States, and Congress instituted the levy in 1791. In general, the citizens of that time felt negatively toward the idea of taxation. The farmers of western Pennsylvania, many of whom distilled whiskey and profited from its sale, proved outright hostile to the idea. In July of 1794, a force of disaffected whiskey rebels attacked and destroyed the home of a tax inspector. The rebellion grew in numbers, if not in actions, and threatened to spread to other states. Hamilton knew that the presence of a large and potentially hostile force in Pennsylvania could not be tolerated. If the government were to survive, it would have to show itself capable of keeping control. Hamilton advocated the use of military force; President George Washington instead put state militias on the ready and sent in negotiators. When talks proved fruitless, Washington acquiesced to Hamilton's view. A force of 13,000 militia troops, led by Hamilton and Virginia governor Henry Lee, marched into western Pennsylvania. By the time the federal force arrived, the rebellion had collapsed and most of the rebels had fled. Two men were convicted of treason and later pardoned by Washington. Alexander Hamilton was elated. The fledgling federal government had proven it could keep order -- a necessity if the U.S. was to avoid instability. But many, in particular Thomas Jefferson, thought that this resort to military force was a dangerous mistake. It convinced them that Hamilton was a dangerous man.…

    The introduction of wealth to the American people brought on the desire to have children which is what led to what we know today as the Baby Boom. It was given that name because of the increased number of births throughout this time, and contributed to fueling the economy with more consumer demand. (United States Department of Labor, n.d.) While most Americans enjoyed the new-found wealth from their country, there were still some who did not reap the benefits of a wealthy nation due to their cultural differences.…

    It was toward mid-senior year in high school. Maybe February. I was anticipating which colleges would accept someone like me, and trying to enjoy as much time with friends as I could. I was with my best friends, appreciating a beautiful Southern California day, and had come to realize my last days as a senior were coming to a close. I was a perfect day; big white clouds covered the skies, along with the beaming sun hitting the earth. The oceans breeze in our faces, and our shades on. High-wasted shorts and crop tops were the main clothing we’d wear, and if it were cold we’d just layer a sweater over it. We were living the “Cali lifestyle” because I live in an area where most of the students at my high school were half Caucasian and half Asian. I live in an area where the beach is only ten minutes away. Seeing dolphins or whales from the cliffs is a regular sight to see. Going to big bear during the winter is normal, and so are trips to Hawaii. Fortunately I had the opportunity to meet the greatest friends and best friends I will ever have in my life. But there is a lot you still don’t know.…

    “Ideas, actions, and communication style need to meet the needs of the historical moment” (Arnett & Arneson, 1999, p. 34). “Appropriate use of communication, as well as business investments, need to be historically grounded in what is ‘appropriate’ for a given era” (Arnett & Arneson, 1999, pp. 34-35). Also, “much of our communication is guided by our personal needs” ((Arnett & Arneson, 1999, p. 35). When meeting the historical moment, it is crucial to actually meet the historical moment by discussing issues that are relevant to that era. In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance discusses many historical moments that are currently taking place. Vance’s drive to reveal this historical moment are due to his personal needs, which are listed below:…

    A mole is just another common mark on the body, which everyone has, so what’s the big deal, right? Well, some are just common markings, while others can be life threatening. My family learned this all too well back in February of 2014. It’s never a perfect visit to the dermatologist when you get a mole removed from your head, only to find out after testing that it was positive for melanoma. I remember a minor surgery was performed on the neck and two lymph nodes were removed to be tested. Great news everybody, they were found to be cancer free! Now, stop and think how many lymph nodes are in your body.…

    I believe that the most important event in recent U.S. history is the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon. The events of September 11 jettisoned the United States into a war it cannot win with the brute force tactics the current administration is using to stop terrorism. The events have led to conflicts in Afghanistan and in Iraq and there will most likely be more conflicts in the future.…
