did not exist for the sole purpose to beat the Soviet Union into space and establish a monopoly of power in space. This was a byproduct. NASA’s genesis was a genuine intention to increase the knowledge of mankind. In many ways NASA can be seen as a miracle of mankind because it was born out of a state of war, but evolved into an organization shaped for peace and discovery. By looking at NASA, it is an exemption from the warlike nature of the Cold War. We can observe this evolution from its wartime genesis
Oh My Darlin’ (A Literary Analysis of Clementine Von Radics’ As Often as Miracles) In the late summer of my junior sixteenth year, I stumbled across a poem by Clementine Von Radics that I have yet to shake from my being. The title was For Nikki. It was only eight lines and roughly thirty words, but the way she said things really resonated with where I was at in my own biography. Seeing this poem made me go out and buy a paper back volume of one hundred very popular poems in American history. Although

Imagine, the government being your plug. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (BNW), the citizens get a drug called Soma from their government. Soma works as a miracle drug, in that it gives the mental effects of euphoria, but doesn’t give any negative physical effects. When I first heard about this so called, “miracle drug” I was immediately intrigued. I was enthralled by the idea of a government giving its citizens drugs, and how Soma was a major part of how their society functions. Throughout the
allows more academic freedom for students, which may be important to some. With many majors, it is not surprising that larger universities are given more updated research facilities and more research funding than a smaller school. On the contrary, reputable universities (such as John Hopkins, Yale, Amherst College, MIT, the standard “miracle” schools) are given more credit in general when
HELEN KELLER AN IDOL TO DEAF PEOPLE? Rona M. Stanley HIS 331: History of the American Deaf Community December 1, 2013 As children, many of us watched “The Miracle Worker,” the movie that showcased Helen Keller as a deaf blind child in need of communication. Through the movie, we came to admire and sympathize for this character as the movie portrays her perseverance to overcome her disabilities instead of resigning to them. The love and bond between her and her teacher, Anne Sullivan,
Rushing to finish my research paper, I take a quick glance at the clock. It is only 12:30 a.m.— I have the remainder of the night to finish it. My eyes started to close, but I forced them open. Is this the type of selfless dedication required to become a doctor? Sleepless nights, missed parties, restless days, and painful assignments. Is this all it takes? There has to be more. I picture a doctor, waking up from her slumber—a cardiothoracic surgeon who has to check on her patient. She received a
Creating a symbolic system within a field means to construct reality, which requires the internalization of structures so that the social actor may reflect it and this structure can be perceived or recognized by others. The process of mutual recognition of capital that takes place in respective fields is known as symbolic capital. When capital takes on meaning in a field it has a symbolic trait, hence symbolic capital. It’s the things that aren’t tangible such as status, prestige, and authority that
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, Russia’s greatest man in the Early 1900’s. He accomplished many things in his lifetime, including a good relation with the king of Russia.

There is no doubt that Oskar Schindler’s actions helped save many Jews during the Holocaust. His acts of bravery allowed many Jews to survive the Nazi regime and bring forth a new generation of Jews. We understand the outcome of Oskar Schindler’s good deeds, but do we truly understand the motives of his actions? What made a German industrialist so brave and devoted to saving the lives of the persecuted? Did Oskar Schindler see right through the Nazi facade and see the evils and atrocities it committed
