Reaction Paper on “Immortality on Ice”

Imagine a world with no trees, no healthy grass, no glaciers, or no living creatures at all. The cause of this tragedy could be the increase in heat in the Earth’s atmosphere due to global warming. If global warming continues to increase, the world will be left empty. The Earth has been around for a long time, and many feet have walked on it, but no one has walked on this Earth without trees, grass, or creatures. With global warming, the Earth’s meteorology gets too warm, and all of the glaciers will start to melt. Global warming occurs when an increase in the carbon dioxide levels causes the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere to rise. The Earth’s meteorology is often a subject explored in literature. For example, “Chronicles of Ice” talks

Endothermic reactions are accompanied by the absorption of heat. The dissolving of ammonium nitrate in water is an example of an endothermic reaction. The solution resulting from this mixture is colder than either the ammonium nitrate or the water. This is the simple explanation of what happens in an instant ice pack. The more detailed information will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

The “Miracle on Ice,” where the United States defeated the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York will forever be known as one of the greatest moments in American sports history. This game was about more than just sports though, it signified American strength, even when faced the greatest adversities. The United States was suffering through Vietnam, Watergate, and the wrenching upheavals of the 1960s. Many believe this game was even the beginning of the end for the Cold War. The Soviet Union had won the gold medal in six of the seven previous Winter Olympic Games, and were the favorites to win once more in Lake Placid. The team consisted primarily of professional players with significant experience

Cryonics is the theory of freezing people, and then reanimating them in the future. In my childhood, we heard these rumors of Disney keeping Walt Disney’s head frozen in hopes of reanimating him when the technology came. There was a TV series, Out of Jimmy’s Head, that parodied this rumor, and played around with the subject of cryogenically frozen brain transplants. Even though the boy had his brain switched for the cartoonist’s frozen brain, he still had his own conscious, but with the hallucinations of the cartoonist’s. However, this is a TV series that appeared on Cartoon Network, so this insight may have been an oversight in their planning.

I became aware of what I wanted to pursue after reading about a teenager who had been stabbed in area close to where I live and I found myself asking what would drive someone to do that? One of the three subjects I take is psychology and one of the subtopics is the nature or nurture debate. I began to consider whether the stabber was born evil or just a product of their environment. I read a book called ' ice man: confessions of a Mafia contract killer' by Philip Carlo. The ice man showed a complete lack of remorse for his victims. The ice man's father and mother also showed a lack of empathy through their acts of abuse against him, therefore it could be argued that his lack of empathy is biological. However, it could also be argued that he

The history of African Americans has been one of pain and struggle. Though they find themselves in a society that is founded on principles of liberty and equality, African Americans have had to endure a social, political and economic existence. Perhaps the greatest challenge that most of them had to deal with is how to get by in a society where whites perceived themselves as superior, while African Americans struggle at the bottom of the food chain. Over the years, a lot of changes have occurred in a way that the American society is setup with the aim of making sure that each American gets an equal opportunity to enjoy rights and liberties that the constitution prescribes. The installation of the civil rights act in 1964 and the voting rights

It took a while, but winter temperatures have finally made their way to New York City! And if this winter is anything like past years, icy winds will start freezing car door locks all over the area, making many commuters late for work, or frustrated that they can't go home yet. When you've been in the automotive locksmith business as long as Multi Locksmith, though, you learn all the tricks for getting back into your car, even on the coldest mornings. If you ever find yourself stuck outside rubbing your fingers, try one of these methods:

Why should we care is a question that many people end up asking. Earth’s average temperature has increased by at least 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the past century and scientists expect it to go up to about 12 degrees Fahrenheit in the next. To us, those numbers seem quite small, but the average temperature a couple centuries ago was 4 degrees lower than it is today, allowing ice caps to stay ice caps. As the temperature increases, ice caps start to melt resulting in the rising of sea levels. With the sea rising, storms are becoming more and more frequent and stronger. High sea levels also cause torrential rains and flooding which threatens us as humans, wildlife and nature.

The Ice Giant, Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun in our solar system and is very unique from the other planets. Discoveries of this ice giant will lead us to a better understanding of our universe. This planet is different because of its tilt, color and a somewhat unique surface. No other planets in our solar system have a significant tilt. In addition to the tilt, it also has odd color and a different surface, but why?

Even though some of the links could not found, I still learned some cool and disturbing facts about glaciers. For example, ice bergs are nicknamed "rivers of ice" because they constantly move like rivers but at a much slower pace. Also if the ice bergs keep melting at the rate that they are, sea levels will rise and cause major damage and cause natural disasters like, flooding. Also the freshwater that's stored within the ice bergs would mix into the saltwater and led to a very limited availability of freshwater. Global warming is a major factor in the melting of the ice bergs and it's up to man to get this problem under

Can you ever find some things for entertainment, information and communication all at once other than television ?. The answer more likely is no. As the matter of fact, researcher show that ninety nine percentage of household that possesses at least one television. Additionally the average of youth and adult spend time watch television is more than one thousand hour per year. These number is higher than everyone expect. With those statistic show above, its prove that television is one of the most important material to human life in both sociology and psychology. Since the television was developed, human life was changed enormously. In brief, without television, human life would take a slow process in development

In class, L. Meek discussed about the six properties of Evolved Psychological Mechanism (EPM). The first property is that EPM solved a specific problem of survival or reproduction recurrently over the evolutionary history. Second, only narrow of information is processed according to EPM. Third, the adaptive problem an organism is facing is informed by an EPM. Fourth, EPM also transformed through, leaving some room for decision making for an individual as the output. Fifth, the output of an EPM is the physical activity, which manifest behavior. Last, the output of an EPM is to solve a specific adaptation problem, such as having an EPM to attract food to solve a hunger problem.

I really like the concept of Freud comparing our human brain with an ice berg. The ice berg is really only 10% above the water and 90% below. So the largest part of the ice berg is actually beneath the water which we cannot see just like our unconsciousness. And it contain all the influence and motivations that motivates us in a way that we want to behave. How all the memories and experience stored in our unconsciousness regulate our personality and behavior. Things we are actually unaware of are the ones that influence us the most. Also the part that we all the bad memories and traumatic, depressing incidents of our lives hides themselves in the unconscious part of brain, so we don’t have to carry them
