Introduction to Business and Society-Persuasive Essay

Introduction In his book titled The Short Story of Progress, Ronald Wright analyzes civilizations that have witnessed rapid growth and supremacy. He also elucidates the fatal fall of many such civilizations and enjoins that over-exploiting the environment can lead to ecological catastrophe. By finding answers to questions relating to human origins, reasons for existence and destination of the progress pursuit, Wright warns the society from traversing through progress traps, created by humans themselves, blinded by a short term urge to modernize. “We can go to understand the reckless aspects of human nature and circumvent the danger of arrogant self-destruction, ...

Introduction Man has created various concepts for his convenience, one of which is institutions, and these are essential for maintaining order in that they streamline the activities to achieve a particular objective. There is a formal organisation to institutions which lay out rules and regulations for the conduct of the operations earmarked for them. This essay deals with the issue of mind and culture over institutions in nurturing social capital in four selected nations of the world. The essay has basically two parts viz. the theoretical basis and the implementation. The theoretical basis consists of resource, bare necessities and ...

Globalization is a complex process, the consequences of which cover political and legal, economic and cultural spheres of society. This process causes the extensive discussions in the various expert communities and among the common people (Keegan and Green 47). In the politico-legal sphere, globalization is expressed in strengthening the role of international organizations, which standard-setting activity shifts the focus of many legal regulations of public relations from national into international legal plane. At the same time, spreading to areas previously traditional for the national legislator, the international law is unable to be the guarantor of lasting peace. The globalized ...

The Christian Bible and Islamic Quran chare a surprising number of similar themes and ideas as a result of their shared religious heritage and birthplaces; an example of this is found in the Bible’s “Sermon on the Mount” parable from the Mathew Gospel and the Quran’s “Lord of Mercy”. It is important to note that the Lord of Mercy referenced by the Koran can include a number of passages, as Allah is directly references as the Lord of Mercy many times; unless specified otherwise, this report will refer primarily to the opening of the Koran for simplicity. ...

Humanity and Morality

Friedrich Nietzsche The madman Where is God? he cried. I’ll tell you! You have killed him – you and I! We are all his murderers. But how did we do this? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Where is it moving to now? Where are we moving to? Away from all suns? Are we continually falling? And backwards Nietszche The Gay Science 125 The first important observation concerning Nietzsche’s text is that ...

The population of the world has been steadily increasing for millennia. Yet, the 19th century saw exponential growth that led to the current global population of almost 8 billion people. Such a rapid and massive population boost prompts worries about its effects on the environment, the economy, and society. In this essay, we will discuss the difficulties brought on by the global population increase along with possible solutions.

When Will the World Population Reach 8 Billion?

It had taken all of human history until the end of the 18th century for the world population to reach 1 billion people. Then, the growth ...

Individuals on coming together to achieve a common goal make a team. In teamwork the common goal of the team is more important than the needs of individuals. Jesus constituted a strong team of twelve apostles. From the perspective of Jesus Christ, two individuals are always better than one; for instance Jesus sent two apostles to find the colt (Mathew 21:2 New International Version). Similarly, Jesus sent Peter and John for preparing the Passover meal. As team work is vital to achieve common organizational goals, the team members should demonstrate impeccable behavior patterns to follow in the footsteps of ...

It is difficult to make someone believe in something unprecedented, but the church was able to do it. It is difficult to keep the influx of non-believers, but the church was always doing so until the freedom of speech and thought, of course. Many simply believe, without even thinking about religion as such. Religion is a kind of reunion of the broken relationship with God, or lifestyle based on a belief in the supernatural power. Religious ideas, rules, basics are described in the sacred books, which allegedly have been dictated by God. Of course, no one can currently prove ...

With the conclusion of the World War II, the world witnessed the emergence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) with the major purpose of protecting the dignity of all human beings. In 1993, the World Conference on Human Rights acknowledged that these human rights are universally relevant and applicable and no questions shall be raised about their authenticity (World Conference on Human Rights, 1993). Nevertheless, critics from around the world oppose the universality of human rights. Therefore, this essay asserts that the nature of the human rights’ universality is questionable. In the beginning, a brief discussion concerning ...

Question 1

Studying humanities helps one to appreciate the past and the positive and negative effects it has everything in the present. A business or technical course student would learn how to communicate, understand other cultures and even apply critical thinking to see beyond what is being taught or asked.

Question 2

Ancient art allows a student to have a glimpse of the past and various interpretations of the things that have already been. A succinct interpretation of the past offers the student insight on the future and what it could hold. It is through knowledge of the past and things of the ...

Christianity and Homosexuality In the article, “A Christian Perspective on Homosexuality” strives to answer the question of whether the lifestyle of homosexuality is immoral. The author begins the article by pointing out that the church has been placed into the position that this is such an important matter that regulates millions of Christian lives that they are unable to avoid it. Another reason why this matter has become unavoidable is due to people are being killed over it on a daily basis, such as Matthew Shepard, the student from Wyoming, or a host of Catholic priests being convicted for ...

Describe what led to the First World War.

As we know, mankind entered the 20th century on a wave of the unprecedented acceleration of socio-economic and, in particular, military and technological progress with accumulated over the previous century, acute and intractable geopolitical contradictions between the leading world powers. All of this led to revolutionary upheavals, and to the First World War, fundamentally changed the dynamics and nature of conflicts resolving between the great countries. The struggle for the redistribution and leadership in the world had never covered several continents at the same time, did not affect the interests of the majority of countries in the world, World ...

Book Review

Book Review 2: ‘Children of Dust’ by Ali Eteraz Background Introduction The book ‘Children of Dust’ by Ali Eteraz focuses on his narrative regarding his religion centered childhood. He grew up in a deeply religious Islamic family, and like most children, he follows in the same religion pathway as his parents. However, Abir Eteraz’s relationship with the religion identity is far way complex than his peers and age mates in his neighborhood in America. With time, the young boy becomes fanatical and obsessed with Islamic faith with the limited comprehension of a child. Largely, his parents are a ...

Hebrews

In Hebrews 2:1-4, this passage of the Bible speaks of our spiritual well-being and the importance of not straying away from the Holy word. It teaches many lessons within this small passage. “The Biblical verse is giving Christians a command, or a duty” (Piper). We will review four various reasons for the exhortation the Bible speaks of. “The first reason focuses on the significant factor of danger when we drift from our salvation and neglect it” (Stroud). It can become possible to depart from the teachings of God so much to the point where it might be impossible for ...

Introduction

Malaria is caused by a mosquitoes’ bite that carries a Plasmodium parasite. Malaria’s symptoms are: shivering, fever, headache, chills, and sweating malaise. Malaria can turn out to be life threatening to infants, elderly or people with low immunity (Better Health Channel, 2015). Typically, malaria is transmitted through infected Anopheles mosquito’s bite. After the bite, Plasmodium parasite is released into the bloodstream. It takes 2 to 3 days for the parasites inside RBC (red blood cells) to multiply and causes infected cells of the individual to burst open. Malaria can also spread through an infected mother as she ...

William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience were written in the 18th century. Blake used parallel versions of his poems to construct an ideal form of human existence which he later compared against the contemporary society. His works, which were sometimes considered deeply spiritual, caused some of his critics to dismiss him as a Lunatic and his work as the rantings of a lunatic. Blake was also an artist and his images accompanied most of his poems. Blake used parallel poems to respond to the decay in the human values in the society (Vines 116). Many ...

One of the most important historical events of all time is the Industrial Revolution in England. The 19th century became a very important time for England where the country was going to take a turn from its purely agricultural state to an industrial one. The most important role leading to this transformation was played by the social and political changes that took place in that era. While coal mining was one of the most profitable and lucrative businesses of the time, the discovery of transport routes and the accompanied cheap cost of transportation became one of the main reasons ...

Introduction

Mankind and its greed have impacted the wildlife in several ways and changed the future outlook for several animals that need the wilderness to survive. Sadly, as the time passes we have seen an increase in the immoral acts of mankind as it is wielding axe on the home of animals and stealing land from the wild. This is the concern that authors Snyder, Abbey, Carson and Leopold trying to explain through their literature and bring out the problems created an alien to force to the home of wildlife, threatening their future. The question posed by the authors in ...

The value of literature in human life cannot be overestimated. This kind of art is one of the most ancient and important for humankind. Though this type of art has a connection with such term as fiction, it still has quite a real basis. Literature has arisen much earlier than it was given a definition and typology. The man, who existed before the literature, had already used its main elements even earlier than ten thousand years ago, which played a very important role in the life of the whole humankind. Using the words that were written on stones, people ...

Question 1

The physical resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in history since it provides the evidence that Jesus is really the Son of God who died and was able to resurrect. The resurrection thus validated the fact that Jesus is a supreme being among the mankind. Additionally, the resurrection also proves what the bible talks about since it looked at the resurrection of Jesus even before He came to earth to save the mankind. The teachings of the bible from the ancient period looked at the coming of the messiah who would be executed, crucified, die and ...

The Earth is a temple. Man has been shifting and tampering with the Earth since the beginning of time, but no time hard hit as the industrial revolution. Whether the human mind perceives from religion, scientific facts or both, tampering with nature always comes with a price. The price of peace, the price of sheer humbleness, the price of pure existence in the raw form of nature in simple elegance. The industrial revolution took sea and land by storm and the planet has faced a dehumanizing effect that will forever change the course of animated life, forever. The 19th ...

The Cold War was not only a period in American history where the United States was locked in a massive international rivalry and arms race with the Soviet Union but it was a time of fervent technological, strategic and political development. The United States during World War II had developed a massive new process for technical progress with an applied goal. That is to say, the Manhattan project which culminated with the building of the first ever Atomic bomb was a very important milestone. It showed that civilians and the military could work together for a common goal. While ...

It is not a secret that humanity on the path of development has created a lot of useful things, but for every successful invention there are many unsuccessful. The "Golden age" of mankind was the 19th century, when the invention has become a favourite pastime of many people. Some inventions did not have chances for success, because their authors were not able to understand the scientific principles underlying them. Other inventions were just a flight of fancy and were designed for entertainment. I believe that if we are able to do something, it does not mean that we have ...

Introduction

The common denominator that characterizes almost all the great works of the 16th century Hispanic poetry is that they passed through one major place where they sharpened their literal prowess and acumen, the University of Salamanca. The University has proven to be a fertile ground for nurturing of great talents since the times of Renaissance to date, with notable alumni in the fields of poetry, theology and law. The sixth century within the contexts of the Hispanic literature, Renaissance was majorly characterized by academicians, many of them are teachers, poets, lawyers among others and often led lives that were ...

Introduction

A book written around A.D. 95, according to theological historians, the book Revelations of John is written by the same Apostle John who knew Jesus when He was a man on the earth, serving as one of His disciples and working fervently in His ministry. Understanding that the various apostles such as, Stephen and Paul, Bartholomew and Silas, were martyrs for the sake of the Church of Jesus Christ and the eminency of His ascendency, John lived to become an old man. John declared and proclaimed that he loved Jesus more than any of his brothers of the discipleship. ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

Introduction

Health has been defined as the best wealth for mankind. The age old proverb that, ‘Health is Wealth’ stands true all the more today, in this contemporary world where suddenly the number of illnesses are on the rise and each day mankind is confronted with a new type of disease caused by some virus or the arise of some new mutant bacteria. The result is an outbreak of an epidemic, causing a huge loss to humanity and a situation of panic for the entire world. Such consequences require immense support in terms of disaster mitigation and sound health care ...

Countless debates have ensued concerning the supposed importance of how life began, why it was created, and of course if it has any fundamental purpose. Some would argue that life has no meaning, that it is a randomized hodgepodge of experiences that when placed together create the sum of a life. Others would claim that there is meaning behind every experience, a driving goal that allows an individual to keep going when it would be easier to stop. Whether it is because of personal belief or fundamental truths that can be measured and verified the meaning of life remains ...

It was 4:32 in the afternoon, on a Tuesday, when it happened. At 4:31 one could look out their window and see the robotic assistants, called RA’s for short completing all of the basic everyday tasks that people once had to do for themselves. They cooked, cleaned, monitored children, maintained property. As the generations rolled by humanity placed more and more responsibility on the shoulders of the technology that they had created. Eventually, human beings had become sedintary creatures, more so than at any other point in history. The RA’s were now working on behalf of humans, ...

For several centuries writers have been trying to prophesize future of mankind. The more the world is exposed to the influence of industrial and technological progress, the more spectacular prophecies are. For instance, in 1909 E.M. Forster wrote a short story The Machine Stops in which he predicted collapse of civilization due to extreme reliance on technology. At the beginning of twentieth century societies were developing very fast because of rapid industrialization. Telephones and cars, which were quick to assemble, were probably the greatest inventions that influenced society the most. A hundred years later, people continue to introduce state-of-the-art ...

Natural resources are getting finished at a rate faster than nature can restore, and still we continue to live as if these resources were limitless. The human race is faced with a great risk of extinction, and no amount of faith or willpower can save us from the extinction that threatens our existence. Natural resources such as oil have continued to reduce over the years and have led to the loss of certain species on earth such as dinosaurs, and there are numerous concerns that mankind will face the same fate in the future (Drake). The human race is ...

Abstract

In the novel ‘Black Hole,’ teenagers who engage in sexual behavior contract a decision that leads to genetic mutations which are hard to conceal. The disease is a replica of the Aids Pandemic and the struggles which teenagers have to endure during their adolescent years. The importance of the study is to identify how teenagers in the book the black Hole relate to the youth in the current society. Teenagers experience hormonal imbalances which cause them to lose control and are mostly controlled by their sex drives. Sexual attractions are common during this developmental stage of life, and most ...

According to the quantitative hedonism theory, the duration, quantity and intensity of all pleasures have equivalent magnitudes of goodness. Bentham argues that the entire life of mankind is ruled by pain or pleasure at any point in time. Pain and pleasure collaboratively dictate what every person is supposed to do. Bentham argues that “nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure”. (Bentham 8)According to this statement, he implies that the whole of life of mankind is usually defined by pleasure or pain at any given time; that if an individual is not ...

The line between matters such as good and evil, just and unjust codes and Pandects is a thin one, and these matters have become highly controversial over the years . The laws governing different countries and religion have also been in conflict over the years. One reason for these controversies is that all countries have more than one religion practiced by the citizens of the country in question. The law of God justifies that which is holy, righteous and just. According to Hobbes, the law by the government is absolute and individuals have a moral obligation to abide by these ...

The species Paranthropus boisei was estimated to have existed 1.1 million years ago and is believed to belong to a certain era of the human evolution that spanned several years ago, but scientists were keen to point out that they did not eventually lead to human evolution, or rather to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, but they share a huge genetic relationship with the Homo sapiens (Marsh 18). There are numerous characteristics of Paranthropus boisei that would be synonymous to that of the Homo sapiens that would lead one to believe that the genetic characteristics that depict similarities would ...

Two of the most important existential philosophers have been Albert Camus, well known for both his novels and his philosophy, and Jean Paul Sartre, who, is aligned with the ideas of existentialism more than any other philosopher. In addition to sharing some ideas about existentialism (although both men also developed very different systems of this philosophy), both thinkers were atheists, and developed their systems of philosophy, from their belief in a world, or a universe without god. For Camus, the absence of god was one of the reasons why man could find the nature of existence meaningless, and his ...

I. INTRODUCTION The current use of the North-South divide in demarcating global Christian religion is not new. It originated as an economic and political convention to distinguish the First World and the Second World in the North and the Third World in the South. Thus, the churches in the North include the churches in North America, Western Europe, and the developed part of East Asia; while the churches in the South comprise the churches in Africa, South America, and the rest of Asia, including the Middle East. However, the demarcation line can arbitrary depending on the institution that creates ...

Relationships between society and nature have become much more complicated in the conditions of scientific-technical progress. People received the opportunity to influence the course of natural processes, have subdued the forces of nature, began to master almost all of the available regenerative and non-renewable natural resources, but to pollute and destroy the environment. Air pollution has remained the major problem in the modern society. It is defined as the introduction by man into the environment of substances or energy liable to cause hazard to human health, harm to living resources and ecological systems. (Tiwary, Colls, & Colls, 2010) Artificial (anthropogenic) ...

Since the industrial revolution – an era known for the peak of coal combustion to supply the energy requirements of mechanically evolving world – humankind has been relying on fossil fuels for the majority of energy. However, although the fossil fuel production is at the point of exhaustion, the world, in general, still is experiencing energy shortages, which is almost always associated with high energy prices (Pimentel 1). Furthermore, environmentalists advocate for cleaner energy source, such as the renewable energy sources, as an alternative to fossil fuel due to the fact that the fossil fuel itself, as well as the production ...

Deforestation is the act of clearing the greenery and vegetation on Earth on a large scale. It occurs when trees and entire forests are cut down and cleared away for various purposes. This brings a lot of damage to the Earth’s surface, simultaneously creating environmental problems as well. Forests account for 30% of the Earth’s land, and they are an asset to the world’s ecosystem, however, much of this area is cleared away and vacated by mankind to serve their purposes. Although deforestation is done for needs such as housing, residence, mining, shopping and other means, ...

Lignin Chemistry

Lignin History Lignin is a plant-derived biopolymer with several applications. It is considered an effective alternative to chemically synthesized plastics that pose serious environmental problems during manufacture and disposal. Lignin is often obtained as a byproduct in paper and pulp manufacture. Lignin has to be dissolved to obtain cellulose from wood. In 1838, Anselme Payen discovered that wood contained cellulose, and oxidizable coatings (later called lignin) that bind the cellulose together (McCarthy and Islam, 2000). This coating material could be removed from wood after acid treatment and washing with an aqueous alkali solution (McCarthy and Islam, 2000). Later, several ...

Both Satre and Camus, important and famous French philosophers of the middle of the 20th century explored various facets of what may be called existentialist philosophy. Sartre grounded his work by focusing on the concept, and practice, of human freedom, While Camus approached existentialism from a tension between absurdity and the meaning of making choices and commitment. While both philosophers worked in very different areas of the wide branch of philosophy known as existentialism, both Camus and Sartre build their systems on the foundation of a life, or universe, without any divine force, and certainly without the idea of ...

The questions of birth control have always troubled mankind. The search for methods of contraception and abortion by doctors doing started in the ancient world. Throughout the history of mankind abortion is one of the oldest problems of medical ethics, philosophy, law and theology. The mention of abortion is found in ancient Chinese writing more than 4,600 years ago. There is evidence that the ancient inhabitants of Australia tore the membranes to cause miscarriage. Moreover, the women of East Africa caused an abortion with special wooden sticks. This paper is dedicated to clarification of the methods of birth ...

Philippians 2:5-11 is a bible passage that has been interpreted a number of times and long cherished. The orthodox Christian confession of Christ is mainly based on this passage. Contemporary worshippers and devoted Christians alike have found reason to believe that this passage has an evocative and memorable power. Not so many bible passages have attracted the controversy and interpretation as much as this passage has over the years. A close look at the verses raises significant questions on the meaning of the words used and how they affirm the nature and work of Christ. Most people also look ...

Philosophy

The correlation of ethics and philosophy is a problem, it is difficult to say to what extent the morality is socially determined. In fact, we should talk about an individual morality, but even in this case, it should be borne in mind that even very personal, individual norms and moral values ​​in most cases have a social nature. In some cases, their social origin is not so obvious, but upon closer inspection we can find that any individual morality is largely socially determined. This situation is explained by the fact that the process of establishment and the formation of ...

Has the role of women been stereotyped throughout History, or has this role changed? What does it mean being a “woman” or a “girl”? Does gender affect your role in society? Does it affect you personally? All these questions demand an analysis in order to understand the mission of being a woman, not opposed to men, but as a different role in the same game. After all, everyone has their own participation in everything, and with these roles associated with gender, the impact is likely to be different. With that being said, the question “Does gender limit your ...

Philosophy

Introduction Man has always gazed at the stars and attempted to answer the question about the existence of any life anywhere else in the Universe apart from Earth. While for the better part of the first two thousand years After Christ, there was a popular assumption that Man is unique in the Universe, the acceptance of the ‘Copernican Principle’ (Tyson, 2003) in the 1500s, when Nicholas Copernicus put the sun back in its proper place at the center of the solar system, propelled the notion that man may not be unique after all. Given the fact that the three ...

Major Achievements in Biology

Treatment to several diseases, even genetic disorders are available today only due to breakthrough discoveries in biology. Three such important discoveries are revelation of structure of ribosomes through X-ray crystallography, identification of tumor specific antigens (TSA) expressed on the surface of cancer ...

Views on Humanity

The effort of speaking definitively upon what humanity would resort to in the event of an apocalypse is akin to divining the true purpose behind life. Every last person in the world knows the idea exists, but is unsure of what course to take. Cormac McCarthy takes readers along a particularly dreary path towards the realization of what might happen should the world as humanity knows it ever end, sparing no sensibilities along the way. The question of what will befall humanity should the world as it is known ever end is one that offers many different answers. As ...

As a postmodernist city

Art accompanies the humanity over a long period of time. It has already become an integral part of our lives. The man has invented many kinds of art: painting, music, theater, etc.; and architecture takes pride of place among this diversity of arts too. Architecture has always been the subject of grandeur and pride of kings, dynasties and whole empires. Such magnificent architectural masterpieces as Egyptian pyramids, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Cologne Cathedral are immortal classic that fascinates even the most indifferent to the art person. Throughout the history of mankind, were appearing a lot of new architectural styles: sacred architecture, ...

Human population has experienced explosive growth over the recent decades. Population dynamics is a multifaceted aspect that encompasses not only population size, growth and density, but also the peculiarities of urbanization and migration taking into account such variables as age and sex (de Sherbinin et al., 2007). Lam, (2011) points out that demographic change is closely related to the three aspects, namely urbanization, fertility decline, and investment in children. “The growth of the world population goes hand in hand with global urbanisation: while around the year 1950 less than 30% of people lived in the cities, this proportion has ...

Introduction

Background of the Study Carr defines terrorism as an illegitimate way (through use of violence) of attempting to change the political, social, religious or economic position (Carr, 2007). In the 21st century, this vice has become the single-most threat to the security of many nations. From USA to Nigeria, South Africa to Kenya, the impact of terrorism has been deeply felt. The attacks on the twin towers of America’s World Trade Center and the move by Boko Haram to kidnap students in the name of promoting terrorism activities has led to high-profile discussions on how this vice should ...

The construct of free will was studied and it was determined that the theory of undefined free will has conventionally been rejected and/or neglected in the theory of counseling and in the field of psychology; however, in the moral arena, the freedom of self-determinism and freedom of indeterminate free will are mutually exclusive concepts. From another perspective, indeterminate free will can also be perceived to be unidirectional, acting in the direction of self-violating, negative behavior, leading to immoral behavior (Wilks & Ratheal, 2011). Whenever an individual becomes self-absorbed, there is not consideration for anyone else even if that self-absorbed individual ...

The media exists as a particularly invasive as well as informative source of stereotyping that in an attempt to remain objective allows the subjectivity of others to give way to over-generalized beliefs of other cultures. While many feel it necessary to blame the various media sources that feed the fires of stereotyping the media is meant only as the vessel and nothing else. This belief however has been altered throughout the years as the beliefs and practices of several cultures have been categorized and rudely stuffed into the stereotypes that society has forced upon them. A perfect example of ...

The man cannot be separated from many things. He cannot live without food, air and water. However, it’s not the complete list of items that are necessary for human existence. Humanity is also obsessed with the violence. Throughout the whole history, people invented a lot of different methods of punishment, murder and torture. So, the human history is full of cruelty and violence. Consequently, it’s possible to talk an infinitely long time about how some representatives of humanity have punished, tortured, and killed others more unfortunate representatives of mankind. However, we’d remember only the most noteworthy ...

The Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America (Treaty of Tlatelolco), which now also includes all states in the Caribbean just turned 40 years since signature in 1967. Its importance as a model for other non-nuclear areas, is constant to peace and international securities contribution, which stood and continue placing today in the center of the political and legal interest. Its parallelism with the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) but without Latin American treaty has affected the principle of legal equality of States and has not been an expression of "unequal rights and ...

Geology of Mars

Similar to Earth, all of the planets, including Mars, are defined by geologic processes. Of course, these geologic processes and conditions differ among the planets depending on various factors, such as the relative distance to the sun, composition of the planet, vulnerability to impacts and collisions, etc. Of all the planets, Mars is the closest to Earth-like conditions (Head 1). On the surface of Mars, as well as all of the telluric planets, the most abundant minerals are silicates. On Mars, the origins of most of the silicates are of basaltic to andesitic basaltic. On its surface, the main ...

Neil Armstrong created history when he became “the first man to walk on the moon” ("Biography of Neil Armstrong") in 1969. In 1961, Yuri Gagarin, a Russian, became the first man to orbit the earth in 1961, “giving the Soviet Union a big victory in its Cold War space race against the United States” ("Neil Armstrong: First Man on the Moon"). Following this, President Kennedy promised the nation, that “before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth” ("Neil Armstrong: First Man on the Moon"). Thus, Neil Armstrong’s ...
