In the melting pot of cultures in the United States‚ Hmong people are among the most misunderstood and enigmatic ethnic groups. Throughout history‚ during the most uneasy and difficult time‚ when Laos experienced civil war in the 1950s and 1960s‚ the Hmong sided with the government‚ fearing a communist regime would disrupt their independence. The Vietnam War resulted in the Hmong to siding with the United States to oppose Vietnamese and Laotian communists‚ lose a huge percent of their population

Saukko and Ehrlich both strongly express their concern for the environment in their essays and they both use process analysis‚ but the way they approach the readers differs. Saukko’s essay focuses on the pollutants that jeopardize life and Ehrlich essay focuses on what environmental issues affect glaciers. Saukko uses satire to engage the reader and her

Casting Defects: Some defects are common to any and all process. These defects are illustrated in figure briefly described in the following: [pic] A) Misruns: A Misrun is a casting that has solidified before completely filling the mold cavity. Typical causes include 1) Fluidity of the molten metal is insufficient‚ 2) Pouring Temperature is too low‚ 3) Pouring is done too slowly and/or 4) Cross section of the mold cavity is too thin. b) Cold Shut: A cold shut occurs when two portion

Every winter road salt is used on sidewalks‚ roads‚ and highways to melt snow and ice. These are to prevent human activates from turning into accidents. When the snow melts the road salt gets dissolved into the melted ice and snow and becomes a formula. This formula sinks into the land (soil mostly) and kills vegetation. The purpose for this exit project experiment is to find out what are the affects of road salt on plants. The reason for doing this lab is to find out what a

Department of Chemistry [Colligative Properties & Osmotic Pressure] Purpose : The experiment this week had two different purposes. The first is to teach us about freezing points. This lab was designed to show us the freezing point of a pure solvent‚ in comparison to a solvent in a solution with a non-volatile solute. The second goal of the experiment is to teach students about osmosis. In the experiment‚ we got to observe osmosis as well as understand dialysis

America‚ Defined by Diversity Robert Kennedy believes‚ “Ultimately‚ America’s answer to the intolerant man is diversity‚ which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired.” Today‚ America honors its diversity more than its unity. Diversity is a building block in a country as alluring as America. While it may be true that the unity is vigorous in a country‚ the real point to consider is that diversity brings our heritages together and allows for freedom. Diversity is the main factor in bringing
