Abstract
The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher.

This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354.

Peter Singer first addresses his class with this moral example of witnessing a child drowning in a pond in passing on your way to a class.
He first establishes the perspective of a university student who is a witness to a child drowning on their way to university.

Introduction

It seems ridiculous to think we’re suffering a global economic crisis when bankers are receiving six figure salaries. Blame is hard to pin and the news media is reluctant to pin it but it’s because of corporate greed and institutionalized corruption at the highest levels of banking, health care and insurance companies but that is not something we want to read in the papers because people want to believe that bad people do bad things and not the people we rely on like bankers. The recession was caused by unregulated capitalism; Karl Marx once stated that capitalism sowed ...

Background

The famine crisis in the Horn of Africa has caused suffering to the population of that region especially the Somali people.

Question 1

Currently, alcoholism represents one of the widespread addictions. The long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol are characterized by the phenomena of tolerance and dependence. Tolerance occurs when a set of liver enzymes is produced after a prolonged drinking, which assist in metabolizing alcohol. As a result, alcohol is broken down faster and the person has to increase alcohol amounts in order to attain the same amount of intoxication. Tolerance is the most critical long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol. This is so because it produces a false sense of security in the people addicted to alcohol. This can lead to ...
