Mohandas Gandhi’s methods not only led to India’s independence from Britain but also had victories over racial discrimination in South Africa. Gandhi saw, upon his return to India from South Africa, that Britain had run India’s people into poverty and subordination. Indians were not allowed to manufacture or own their own salt. This affected the poor population most because of how often they used salt. Gandhi began by writing to the English Governor in India describing his plan to “convert the British people through nonviolence and [to] make them see the wrong they have done to India” (Document 1). He felt that the “British rule [was] a curse”. Even though Gandhi spent a total of 2.338 days in prison, he “did not feel the slightest hesitation in entering the prisoner’s box” (Doc. 7). People followed Gandhi in his protests and many followed him into jail feeling “firm in [their] resolution of passing [their] terms in jail in perfect happiness and peace” (Doc. 7). While he was in jail, Mme. Naidu, an Indian poetess, filled in his position in leading protests. She encouraged the protesters by reiterating that “[they] must not use any violence… [they would] be beaten but [they] must not resist…not even raise a hand to ward off blows” (Doc. 4). The author felt that “the western mind finds it difficult to grasp the idea of nonresistance”, but…
Imagine your life as an “eternal Hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again” . Philosopher Nietzsche explained on the idea and viewed life as a reoccurrence. He had a theory that all events in your lifetime will reoccur again and again. The film Groundhog Day as a similar event happened to the main character Phil where he is reliving the same day over and over. In my essay I will explain the similar and differences from Nietzsche eternal return and the film Groundhog Day and will as the virtue ethics from Aristotle.…
Opiate addiction is a chronic disease that affects millions of people in the Unites States. This deadly epidemic is one that in most cases requires some form of medical treatment. There are many treatment options available to those struggling with addiction. The three most well-known options are rapid detox, suboxone, and methadone maintenance (Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction Facts for Families and Friends). Though each form of treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages, they all have one common goal; drug freedom. Research has shown that those receiving treatment are nearly twice as likely to achieve their goal of drug freedom (Mayo Clinic).…
Ghandi was an important leader in India during its independent movement, he influenced people spiritually and politically. He thought himself as the subject of discrimination as an Indian in South Africa. For example, when he used a first class train ticket, a white passenger in first class complained about Ghandi being there and a railway worker tried to get him to move to third class. Ghandi refused to move and got kicked off the train. After that, he started to organize Indians in South Africa to protest on discrimination. When Ghandi returned to India he joined the National Congress, a politicial group that wanted autonomy from Great Britain. Ghandi used methods of disobedience, boycotts and fasts to defend human rights. In the early 1900s…

She wrote about these events in Document B. When this particular march was in progress, Gandhi was not present because he was in jail for earlier acts of civil disobedience. Madame Sarojini Naidu filled Gandhi’s role as leader while he was away. “You will be beaten but you must not resist; you must not even raise a hand to ward off the blows,” she said to a large group of revolutionists. As Gandhi’s man started the march, soldiers rushed at them beating them with clubs. They followed Madame Sarojini instruction and did not rise against the soldiers. Many were injured and two died in this peaceful protest. This is one of the many injustices that took place during this independence…
In today’s society there are great inventions or contributions to be thankful for. Ancient Chinese have created inventions that have changed the world, and the USA with items that are used daily. Among those inventions were the deep drilling for gas and the parachute as well as tea which will be explained later in the essay. Deep Drilling for gas was a technique developed in 100 BC, for the use of drilling for gasoline which runs most of the world. The parachute was invented in the Second Century BC and was used for recreational apparatuses for thrill seeking Chinese (Hays, 2006).…
Earthquakes, typhoons, and tornadoes continue to devastate the United States and the entire plant through the activities of planet Earths natural movement and global warming elements. Earthquakes can happen at any time using the plate tectonics theory as individual faults where Earth ruptures and the two sides move past each other. (Abbott, 2012) They are defined as: the divergent or pull-apart motion at spreading centers cause rock to fail in tension; the slide-past motion occurs as the rigid plates fracture and move around the curved Earth; and the convergent motion that occur at subduction zones and in continent-continent collisions store immense amounts of energy that are released in Earth’s largest tectonic earthquakes. (Abbott, 2012) Typhoons (Hurricane) are huge tropical cyclones in which heat is built up over long periods of summer heat over seawater at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit, 200ft of ocean; the air is warm, humid, and unstable enough to sustain convection. (Abbott, 2012) The tropical disturbance is the development of low-pressure with the organization of thunderstorms with very weak surface winds. Tornadoes are normally descending from large thunderstorms and create the strongest winds of any weather phenomena. Tornadoes are extremely dangerous with most violent US tornadoes moving from southwest to northeast with winds speeds to register at 310 mph. (Abbott, 2012) In 2012; natural disasters cost the United States over $160 billion with 9500 people losing life. Hurricane Sandy is responsible for the majority of economic loss in 2012. (Munich Re, 2013) This essay will discuss…
Can success be disastrous? Everyone has a dream of having a million dollar house, Lamborghini, and an attractive spouse. To most people, that is how they define success; but will that really make them happy? Success can be very disastrous and can ruin lives. An old saying that every child has heard says “be careful what you wish for.” Every child has wished to be rich and successful but haven’t fully thought about the disasters to success. The dream of success can often be blinding which can cause them to do the wrong things to get good things in return. The glory from success can also make a person selfish and exceedingly proud. Lindsay Lohan, Albert Einstein, and Julius Caesar are all examples of fame that can end in a total disaster.…

Who would have known that on April 20th 2010, the United States would soon be facing the worst environmental disaster. On that fateful day, an offshore oilrig named the “Deepwater Horizon” suffered an explosion. Seventeen people were injured and eleven people died from the accident. The damaged oilrig sank into the Gulf of Mexico the next day, and a one-by-five mile oil slick appeared in the ocean. At the time, it was unknown whether the oil was from the rig or if the underwater oil well was leaking. The BP oil company soon realized the well, which is five thousand feet below the surface, was gushing oil at a rate of thirty-five thousand to sixty thousand barrels a day. The Gulf region is in a state of emergency because tourism, wildlife, jobs, and the environment are going to take catastrophic hits.…
