Bhopal Gas Tragedy - Who Is Responsible?

In her essay “The Obligation to Endure”, Rachel Carson alerts the public to the dangers of modern industrial pollution. She writes about the harmful consequences of lethal materials being released into the environment. She uses horrifying evidence, a passionate tone, audience, and the overall structure of her essay to express to her readers that the pollution created by man wounds the earth. There are many different ways that pollution can harm the environment, from the nuclear explosions discharging toxic chemicals into the air, to the venomous pesticides sprayed on plants that kills vegetation and sickens cattle. The adjustments to these chemicals would take generations. Rachel

In many ways, modern environmental disasters serve as literal and symbolic reminders of the absolutely barbarous history of colonization, a history built on resource extraction and ecological devastation, a history many in power hope to silence and forget.

On the morning of January 28, 1986, a tragedy struck the United States when the Space

Over 500,000 people were exposed to toxic gas from a pesticide plant, leading to thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries.

(1)At 1:23 am on April 26th 1986, 2 explosions devastated a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl. These explosions unleashed huge amounts of toxic radiation into the atmosphere. This radiation created a toxic plume of radiation that not only devastated Chernobyl but affected almost the whole of Europe. It started with total evacuation of the city, this started within 24 hours of the disaster and immediately an exclusion zone was in place. What the Ukrainian officials didn’t know at the time is just how serious this was. The wind blew the plumes created by this explosion one plume north and one plume west. The plumes were highly toxic and had been contaminated by the nuclear radiation. The radiation going west even reached north wales and many parts of Scotland and the south of Ireland. The radiation going north badly affected Finland, Sweden and parts of Norway. To put that into perspective the disaster released at least 100 times more radiation than the atom bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

My parents were just children when the desolation first began. My body longs to see this world in person, although we are told it’s not inhabitable. The overly polluted air is no longer breathable, animals died off, and people were

Men would be fine and the next morning they would be carried out in body bags, they would drop like flies in the shower, yard, on the john and even mid sentence. It had been all over the news, tens of millions dead. He had come down with it himself, but in a great stroke of luck a cure was found and he was one of the few that survived. Only a quarter million were cured. Nearly 80 million dead worldwide. He remembered the night he saw his cell mate die as clear as a picture. The stench, something he could barely stand, was even stronger that night, smelling like how he imagined his long dead great-grandmother would smell like in her grave. And then there was that thud, a sick, wet thud, something that sounded awfully wrong. He immediately jumped off his bunk and hit the call button and flipped his mate's body and instantly threw up. He knew it had been bad, but he never thought it was this bad. In the moonlight his face looked like a bowl of cottage cheese. He is neck swelled like a balloon and even in the darkness he could make the dark veins bulging against his skin. Pus and mucus ran across his face and there was blood pooled under his eyes, even leaking like the final teardrops of a dying man. Asher felt around for a hopeless pulse, but only found an unnatural wetness on his

Gardiner Harris, a former expatriate who works for The New York Times, uses his article “Holding Your Breath in India” to recount his family’s unpleasant experience in New Delhi. Through doing this, Harris persuades the reader that, due to Delhi’s pollution, raising a family there is not only dangerous, but definitely not worth the risk. In order to convey his message to his audience, Harris effectively uses rhetorical devices like pathos, ethos, and logos, along with meaningful word choice in order to cause readers to agree with his viewpoint that heavily polluted areas harbor hazards that family members, especially children, should not be exposed to.

The name is Manfred. I have been a Hitler Youth my whole life. I am questioning everything that I have been taught, as my Führer is dead. But, I will never give up on my Führer, even in death. Now the worst possible news has come. This plague of “democracy” has somehow won the war. I have seen questions about this second world war circling around in newspapers, and on the radio. I plan to answer these questions in my journal today. One thing these disgusting westerners have discussed was the “atrocities” of the Auschwitz extermination camp. They have said, “Who is to blame for this Holocaust?”

On January 1986, the Challenger Shuttle blew up shortly after it took off. The accidents took seven lives including aerospace engineers, the specialties pilot, and scientists. The tragic accidents occurred 73 seconds after the flight and caused by the fuel leak from one of the two Solid Rocket Boosters. The explosion represented one of the most significant events in 1980s. However, 17 years after the explosion of the Challenger Shuttle, the Shuttle Colombia also had an in-flight explosion leading to the loss of seven lives.

This Article talks about the methane leak that took place in Porter Ranch Los Angeles, but the were no casualties. There was a leakage from Aliso Canyon natural-gas storage facility, which was one hundred thousand tons of methane, and it is considered to be one of the worst environmental disasters. More than 2,000 families were evacuated from their neighborhood after some people encountered headaches, vomiting, and bloody noses.

Facts: (Facts need to provide more information. In this regard, you should better set-up the relationship between the parties: UCC, UCIL, the Indian government, etc. UCC needs to be mentioned in the first paragraph.)

The basis behind scientific research is to have a better understanding of the world we live in and how humans may further improve their current lifestyle. But should the scientists behind the research be held accountable for the impact their work has on future lifestyle? Should the scientists behind the discovery of greenhouse gasses be responsible for global warming? Should the scientists behind nuclear fusion be responsible for the outcome of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in World War II? This last question I will be discussing further later on. I believe that scientists should not be held responsible for the consequences of their work. I will defend my position with examples of scientific discoveries that have ultimately led to

Prior to the disaster, the company had been facing a financial crisis for many years because the sale of pesticides had been fallen (Joseph, Kaszniak and Long 2005, p. 544). Due to the budget cuts, many plant operators received insufficient training on operations and safety awareness (Mannan 2012, p. 2649). As shown in Figure 1, there was a decrease in the length of training programmes for plant operators from 18 months in 1975 to only one month in December 1984 (Chouhan 2005, p. 207). Therefore, with a lack of the knowledge of runaway reactions occurring in the storage tank when the accident happened, many workers could not immediately take any emergency action to lessen the risk of the MIC escape from the storage tank (Chouhan 2005, p. 207). To connect the tank with another

People are dying every minute because of this terrible disease. No antidotes have been found to eliminate it. Poverty is like an epidemic with no antidote affecting the entire world. It has already killed billions of people, and will continue killing unless we do something to stop it. Have you ever thought what living in poverty is like? Seeing a shocking picture in which people were trying to survive gave me a whole different perspective. That image showed me one of the poorest areas of the planet where people were living under despicable conditions. They were working in sweatshops, collecting garbage and living in broken down huts in order to survive. A polluted river passes across from their humble homes, causing incomparable complication to their lives. I could observe the terrible conditions in which this people are working, fishing and collecting garbage. Not only pollution is shown in this photo, above of the photograph a bridge could be observed. I imagine the noise, and the dust that this little detail brings to their lives. That photograph made me feel angry at politicians because they could do a better job helping the needy. Since they were almost dying, I felt sad for the circumstances they live in. A sense of admiration for the way they are able to survive, gave me the strength to fight against this global scourge. The author of this picture is trying to convey a message, showing us poverty in all its faces and inviting us to be part of his fight against
