It can be hard to get health insurance because it cost a lot and not everyone is a fan of visiting the doctors for general check up. You will always go for a check up when you are not feeling well.

    Kite Runner

    In “The Kite Runner,” written by Khaled Hosseini, tells a vivid story that demonstrates the political and religious discrimination in Afghan society. Concerns about discrimination are reminded to the reader as one reads about the story of two Afghan boys. A major struggle is evident between the two groups in Afghanistan, the Pashtuns, and the Hazaras. Discrimination sets into place as we learn about the history between the two family lines. On page 9, Amir read from a book that says “Pashtuns had persecuted and oppressed the Hazaras … the reason was that Pashtuns were Sunni Muslims, while Hazaras were Shi’a. This sets in the idea that the Pashtuns killed the Hazaras simply because they were not Sunni Muslims, resulting in the discrimination in society against the Hazaras. Throughout the novel, there were many scenes of discrimination such as how Hassan was never invited to Amir’s birthday parties, Assef constantly picking on Ali and Hassan as they are from a different class, and especially when Assef was raping Hassan. Assef believed that it was his right to rape Hassan because in his eyes, he was only a Hazara, an object which he can own and control. The Author Khaled Hosseini also used many literary devices to emphasize the effects of discrimination in society. This is shown on page 298 when Assef says “Afghanistan is like a beautiful mansion littered with garbage, and someone has to take out the garbage.” This is a metaphoric device where Khaled Hosseini had Assef regard the garbage as the Hazaras. He also clearly portrayed Assef in terms of being Hitler by having the same ethnic and political views. Another technique the author used to show discrimination was on page 380 when General Taheri says “they will want to know why there is a Hazara boy living with my daughter.” This is when the General begins to question Amir’s actions. This shows that even a likeable character like the General, has a nastier side and that even he would show discrimination. More…

    Three Gorges Dam

    Three Gorges Dam

    The Three Gorges Dam, located in central China, is one of most ambitious projects in terms of construction. It also has the largest capacity of reservoir that can generate twenty two thousand, five hundred megawatts of electricity per an hour with an efficiency rate of ninety four percent (International). There are thirty two main turbines, each producing seven hundred megawatts of electricity per hour, with two smaller generators, each producing fifty megawatts of electricity per hour (International Rivers). The way that the ‘Three Gorges Dam’ creates electricity is by harnessing water from the Yangtze River, Asia’s longest stretch of water, and collecting it in a reservoir. Pressure is then created by the rate of water flow and the height in which it is kept at. Once the reservoir is full, containing ten and a half trillion gallons of water, a gate is opened and the water flows through the penstock to turn the blades of the turbines. As these blades turn, so do the series of giant magnets in the generator. This then rotates through plain coiled copper wires to trigger the movement of electrons and create alternate current. A transformer then changes the alternate current to high voltage to be transferred through electric wires as electricity (Pearlman). Waste energy is also created by this method which is the reason in the decrease of efficiency rate. For example, when the water hits the walls of the dam creating fiction, energy and pressure is lost. Also, as the water hits the turbine blades, not all the water is used thus meaning the waste goes through another pipe back in the river (Bonsor). Throughout the years, many people have been asking whether the ‘Three Gorges Dam’ is a sustainable way of generating eco-friendly electricity (Yangtze River Cooperation). Therefore, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages in the two categories of environment and well-being and…
