Amidst the shortcoming of the Cold War‚ the goal of the 1960’s was “to go above and beyond” in space exploration by successfully landing a man on the moon‚ which would serve as a gambit to conceivably lead the United States to victory. Before astronauts ventured beyond the earth‚ scientists had to assess the space environment and the hazards of human exploration. Soon after President John F. Kennedy assumed office in January of 1961‚ the space race was undoubtedly underway‚ and the United State’s

The Euthyphro Dilemma When assessing the nature of morality‚ one must determine the reasons for believing certain actions to be right or wrong. In the following paragraphs I am going to explain what The Euthyphro Dilemma is and the threat that each of its horns imposes. Then I will defend The Divine Command Theory against these objections and demonstrate how it not only survives the two horns‚ but is also the stronger position to assume. In the Euthyphro‚ Socrates asks the age old question about

Joshua Taylor Ms. Burke Adv. Lit. 27 April 2017 Taylor 1 The Personal Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe As a writer‚ editor‚ and literary critic‚ Edgar Allan Poe uses his poetry to portray exoticism and mystery in his themes.

Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen-hundred-ninty-two. He came over from Spain in three ships‚ the Nina‚ the Pinta‚ and the Santa Maria and discovered America‚ or at least that was what I was taught in elementary school. Since then there has been much controversy going on over the issue of weather or not Christopher Columbus really "discovered" America because when he landed in San Salvador he was not alone.

Instead‚ we are diurnal creatures‚ with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact‚ even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings any more than we think of ourselves as primates or mammals or Earthlings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. This kind of engineering is no different than damming a river. Its benefits come with consequences—called light pollution—whose

The Gap in Market Segmentation What is the point of market segmentation? Really‚ what is the point? As my Uncle Jim used to say‚ "If you throw enough dirt on the wall some of it is going to stick‚ ain’t it?" So why don’t companies just throw a bunch of good products at the people and just see who buys what‚ if anything at all?

The dirt was laced with sour weeds and writhing earthlings. I wasn’t sure if it was a worm I had swallowed‚ or just the stems of dewy Petunia; either would leave my stomach in somersaults after lunch. If I survived until then‚ that is. “Get up‚” a pig snorted from behind. My ears twitched. Electricity rattled my body and I rose‚ meeting the blaring sunlight as it cleaved my eyes. His head was colossal‚ sprouting gelled tufts of basalt hair with sharp‚ forest eyes cocked firmly at my own. Even the

Though war is a traumatizing and miserable experience‚ it may also be able to move and inspire people to write a brilliant piece of literature. One example‚ for instance‚ is Kurt Vonnegut who may have been stimulated by the war‚ thus writing Slaughterhouse Five. Though one may categorize this piece as science fiction or even auto - biographical‚ it can also be interpreted as an anti war piece. Because Vonnegut is classified as a post modernist‚ one can take into account all the details
