Save the planet
Greenhouse gases and carbon emission are released into the air by things we do every day. For example, cars, turning on light switches and even something as simple as leaving your stereo or computer on overnight. The atmosphere has a natural supply of "greenhouse gases." They capture heat and keep the surface of the Earth warm enough for us to live on. Without the greenhouse effect, the planet would be an uninhabitable, frozen wasteland. Everyone creates a carbon footprint that measures the amount of negative effect they have on the environment through global warming. Global warming can be slowed or even reversed we all need to work together to stop this growing massacre. If we don’t help reduce greenhouse gases several things may happen.
We’re losing an unprecedented amount of animal habitat because of the effect of global warming. The greatest effect is on our oceans. As more and more carbon raises the Earths temperature the polar icecaps melt and the sea rises. When this happens fish lose their homes. The beautiful reefs that once rested in shallow water enough to receive sun rays to support their living creatures would fall into darkness of the oceans and die. Also this blocks photosynthesis rays of light to local sea grasses kill them. They are nurseries and homes for sea life, like shrimp, zoo plankton, and other fish. As the temperature rises it also increases the heat of the ocean itself. Carbon dioxide is trapped in the water and this raises the ph level of the sea. Increased acidity can harm fish that predators rely on for a balanced and or healthy food chain. Unfortunately the ocean isn’t our only concern. Animals on land with us are even being attacked by global warming. Before the Industrial Revolution, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere was in a rough balance with what could be stored on Earth. Natural emissions of heat-trapping gases matched what could be absorbed in natural

    Climate change’s equally evil twin seems to be ocean acidification. 25 percent of the CO2 dissolves into the ocean instead of being in the air. When the industrial era started over 525 billion tons of CO2 were absorbed (22 million tons per day). Scientists at first thought that we were good because it warms the planet, but that’s not the case. The ocean is becoming more acidic than ever because of the CO2. 200 years later the water temperature increased by 30 percent. Rivers usually keep the ocean stable because they have to carry all of the chemicals, but they haven’t been able to keep up with all of this CO2. As a matter of fact some of these animals’ shells dissolve in this acidic seawater which doesn’t help at all. With…

    The article titled “Working at McDonald’s” by Amitai Etzioni is in short describing how there is no individuality in working at a fast food restaurant. Kids have no initiative and cannot make many individual decisions for themselves. There is no real career training when it comes to working in a fast food restaurant. In saying this, Etzioni is correct. After all he the winner of the 2001 John P. McGovern award in Behavioral Sciences. He states that McDonald’s is bad for kids, not because of the food itself (which is still unhealthy) but because of the fact that they are working for them. Also, the hours children have to work are ridiculous.…

    When I read the short story the prince about S. Leon Kleinman who every two months would call in sick at his job and go to museums and just have a his own little day off. I thought what the heck is this guy doing and how is he getting away with this but threw out the whole of this short story I thought he was very crafty and had a good thing going. Mr. Kleinman worked at an office type job and dreaded working there and thought that all the people were stupid and he hated them so he did it to have his little private time but this little scheme finally game to an end when his boss Mr. Graham found out that he was skipping and called him to his office to see what was the deal and so kleinman came in and they started talking and his boss was asking him questions and kleinman was admiring his painting and Mr. graham saw this and he saw that he had a creative side when he was making statements like to own a prince painting one must be a prince and then the boss Mr. graham offered him a promotion for having such an understanding and love for art. The ending of the story I have to admit I was not expecting that he would get a promotion out of all the things I thought he would maybe get fired and it was kind of ironic because he skipped work and it got him promoted and it spoke on the kind of person he was and all this proved that you can beat the system if you plan it right just like how you saw in this short story and he did all this to do what he loved which was art which…

    Since the time of the Industrial Revolution, human activities have polluted the air with large amounts of greenhouses gasses. These gasses are thick covering the Earth in the atmosphere creating and trapping more heat on Earth’s surface; this is known as the greenhouse effect. While the greenhouse effect is needed to support life on Earth, a continuous buildup of these gasses becomes harmful. Greenhouses gasses come from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, and some agriculture practices. When the carbon dioxide is released by these activities it is trapped in the lower part of the troposphere heating the surface of the Earth thus creating global warming. The most significant greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide; it can cause the most substantial increase in temperature.…

    Unless you live under a rock, you will have noticed what’s happening around the human race due to global warming and climate modification. It is not only affecting us humans, it is also affecting our vegetation, our animals, and our oceans. I recently watched a video by National Geographic about the precious coral reefs in the Florida Keys and it talked about how the coral reefs cannot keep up with the rising sea level, so eventually they will all just die (“Fighting to Save Coral in the Florida Keys”). Additionally this will lead to habitat loss and then species dying off. If this scenario belonged to one area it would be tragic but climate change is disrupting habitats and killing off dependent mintage humanity worldwide.…

    People fear change. People fear persecution. In the play The Crucible fear is used ridiculously to persecute the innocent and save ones self. Salem, a puritan community, had god and religion as its number one priority. Therefore the devil was the people of Salem's greatest fear. In he United States during the cold war, people feared communism. Here came the creation of McCarthyism, this is almost identical to the events of Salem, people were accused in the United States of being communist sympathizers, usually without much evidence, and people were persecuted. Arthur miller himself was accused of being a communist supporter and charged after his writing of The Crucible. Even more recently terrorism is the world's greatest fear, and therefore people are persecuted, not in a court of law but in society. These people are discriminated against due to race or culture without any evidence that they are terrorists or murderers. This strongly links to the major themes in the play.…
