The Whaling Industry And Education In The 1700s

Long ago, native tribes, from many places in the world, depended largely on whales for protein in their diets. They were also able to use much of the whale for oil, thus began a tradition of whaling. The first documented whaling expedition occurred in South Korea

Education in the late 1700’s and early 1800 was only available to those who had money. Public education was not available to everybody. Children who came from wealthy parents were able to learn how to read and write. These children went on to continue the cycle with their children. Schools came about when towns would pull their resources and higher teachers. The teachers were literally paid by bushels of wheat and half of a cow. School was based off the Bible. These facts and many more make me so grateful for not being born during this time. I love education and I love learning. I don’t know what I would do without the education I have received and continue to receive.

Moreover, whales were hunted for mainly oil, because of this, colonists were hunting whales for half a century. To make the oil they carried pots on their ships, they would cook the oil after they hunted the whale and they put them in barrels. Since the oil was extremely hot, it wouldn't spoil, so it was good for long voyages. Whale teeth were also used. The sailors would use the teeth to pass the time. They made things for their

American history. The logic for me choosing this subject was because I would like to examine more about Africans Americans and their expedition in history. Multiple of

I wasn't sure what do my research on. I was first interested in military history and I wanted to do Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee. I asked my cousin who would be easier to do my research on, Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee. She said I should do it on the Renaissance because she took European history in high school and she knows a lot about it. I started research at school when my teacher came up to me and asked what I’m doing. I told him about the Renaissance and he responded by saying the Renaissance is a big category and I should choose something specific from that time period. Finally, I decided to research on the Leonardo Da Vinci because I had some background knowledge on him and my cousin could help me.

The topic that was the most influential to me was the personality types. This topic has also been something interesting to learn about. First we were able to find our personality type and I turned out to be an ISTJ. Learning my personality type made me realize different things. For example, it has given me the idea that I need to be more extraverted to be an excellent nurse. It has also given me the chance to learn the best way to study. Being an ISTJ, I learned that I like to be very organized. Since my personality type states that I am a person who is very organized. This is true because I like to organize all of my information, especially notes, in a certain way. Or when I need to study, the best way to study would be in a quiet and isolated place. Introverts are known for liking their quiet and alone time.

On the island of Nantucket, every infant is raised to become a sailor. Sailing is the pride of Nantucket, and sailors are very well respected. Non-sailors of Nantucket were typically outcast, and more than often were never married during their lifetimes. Nantucket viewed whaling as art and took it very seriously. Whaling, harvesting the resources of whales, was how this small town made its living. The Essex was part of a group of more than seventy whaling ships originating from the town of Nantucket. The role of whaling ships Because the price of whale oil was steadily increasing, there were very high expectations set for the Essex and the remaining ships of the fleet. The town of Nantucket was depending on the ships to be successful on their

The topic I decided to choose is the experimentation done on prisoners in Auschwitz. I chose this topic because I have always been very interested in the medical field. I started by looking up the health conditions of the prisoners. I wanted to see if the prisoners were ever treated for any

The Marine Mammal Protection Act was created in 1972, because of the growing concern from scientists and the general public about certain species of marine mammals becoming extinct, due to human activity. The primary objective of this act in 1972 was to maintain the health and stability of the marine ecosystem. When this objective was fulfilled the next focus would be to maintain the ideal population of each species. As you can tell from the graph below there has been a substantial decrease in the percent of maximum population in certain marine mammals.

For this assigment we are required to think of a topic to write about, not only for this week but for the duration of WRD 104. At first my plan was to do my topic about shark finning. It is an ecological issue that has hit the mainstream media recently, there is a lot of data on the issue and opposing sides in order to make the topic debateable. As I started to do the research, I asked myself what do I have to benefit from doing this? Why does Shark finning effect me as a student at this point in time. As I started to think more and more about my topic I realized it would be a waste of time. Shark finning is important, however this is a topic that doesnt have to do with my major, it does not effect me compaired to most important researchable

Petticoat Whalers: Whaling Wives at Sea, 1820-1920 was written by Joan Druett, and originally published in cloth by Collins Publishers New Zealand in 1991. The newest copy of the book, however, was printed in Hong Kong and published in 2001 by University Press of New England in Hanover, New Hampshire. This piece of literature can be found in the Library of Congress, card number: 2001090498. Druett challenges readers to disassociate the word “whaler” from its preconceived male-exclusive, speedy, coast-hugging context, and to instead additionally consider that expeditions may have lasted for years in the open ocean with both males and females aboard (vi). This book emphasizes several major themes regarding the wives and daughters of New England whaling captains, particularly emphasizing gender roles, the different types of relationships women had with their husbands, female accomplishment, and feminism in general.

There are several factors contributing to the global decline in the Beluga whale populations including chemical and noise pollution, commercial fishing, increased predation, fossil fuel industry and habitat destruction and alteration leading to increased mortality due to stranding and disease. Human activities are known to disrupt aquatic habitats, but it reaches much further than that. Because the Beluga whale is at the top of the marine food chain, the well being of this species can be a key indicator of overall marine environment health. Reduction in beluga health and numbers has a vast effect on the Inuit populations that rely on them as a food

Imagine that you are the captain of a whaling ship in 18th century. The financial benefits of successful trips generated significant wealth, but the downside was leaving your family and property for months on end. You need a reliable, trustworthy person to manage your wealth in your absence. Imagine also farmers who left their property to someone else when they traveled for weeks or months to market. Since traveling was slower back then, people of wealth needed reliable financial management during their absence.
