What if we suddenly discovered that our most basic assumption about race? For instance, that the world's people can be divided biologically along racial lines was false? And if race is a biological "myth," where did the idea come from? How do our institutions give race social meaning and power? In Episode 1, people can ask to themselves about why not divide people into different races. Humans are similar of all species and as we moved across the world, the populations increased into one another and
The Use of Biological Weapons During Combat The History of Biological Weapons The Ancient Use Of Biological Warfare The use of living organisms during combat is as old as war itself. The oldest reference to the use of biological weaponry is seen in the Bible in which,“water holes [were] poisoned, infected corpses [were] fired across enemy lines and diseased prisoners [were] returned to infect their colleagues”(Lele 1).

Biological warfare is war waged with deadly chemicals, biological agents, or radioactive materials (CBR). They can be used to kill large amounts of people, destroy food, or just temporarily stun them for a matter of time so troops can come in and torture them or do whatever troops led by an manipulative tyrant who destroys everything.

He was extremely ambitious to create biological weapons. He had the gift for manipulating the bureaucracy of the Japanese Army. He soon began to recruit allies for his idea to help him to achieve his goal in becoming the “father” of biological warfare. His plan was kept secret, only his closest friends and associates knew about it. In 1936, Ishii’s plan was approved by the Emperor of Japan
homeland at Fort Detrick, Maryland, the 1950ís and ë60s. The top research facility called themselves the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, affectionately known as the Institute. Even after WWII they continued their biological weapon research for two decades. Their specialty? Anthrax. This is where anthrax was honed down and refined to its most lethal potential. And, like every great American Research facility, the whole area had round-the-clock military security, and
Free Will A definition of free will, as we have seen, can be misunderstood and easily distorted.
