The World Of Life

Miranda is what I can describe as a regular, maybe even stereotypical, sixteen-year-old teenager. She goes to school, she mediates between best friends that are growing apart, she’s angry at her mother for limiting her from doing the things she wants to do. She worries about prom, boys, and studying for math tests. But of course, all that changes when the asteroid hits the moon. Miranda changes from defiant teen, sneaking out of the house to go for a swim in the pond and sulking over why her younger brother Jon gets all the good food, to understanding that she will do whatever she must to make sure that her family–even if it is just one of them–will survive.

According to Carolyn Ruth, author of “Where Do Chemical Elements Come From,” chemical elements came from the explosion of stars, also known as supernovas. In her article, Carolyn states that a newborn star is mainly composed of the first element on the periodic table, Hydrogen. Due to the high pressure within the star, a fusion process begins that fuses two protons and two neutrons together to form the second element, Helium. These fusion processes continue to form elements that weigh less than Iron. Once the star creates all elements up to Iron, the star eventually collapses and explodes. One article that agrees with Carolyn’s theory is “The Origin of the Elements and the Life of A Star”. According to this article, stars produce nuclear reactions

One of the major points that Bryson makes in his essay is the role of atoms in the formation of who we are. Bryson also points out how people overlook the importance

Carla the Carbon atom is a free spirit. She wanders through the atmosphere, moving with the wind. Carla floats from one cloud to the next, without a care on her mind. One day, she was floating in the air, and was joined by two oxygen companions, Oscar and Octavius. Her two companions transformed her into a carbon dioxide molecule. Her new status as a molecule allowed her new privileges, like the ability to enter plants and to take part in plant and animal respiration. Carla was now a part of an exclusive club.

In most cultures and myths most people seems to agree on that the animals and creatures of this world, were here way before humans ever existed. The different ideas of ways of how humans are created are very different but yet most cultures do agree that animals were here before humans. Some of these creation myths also believe that an animal was honored by the creator or God to help create this world. Two creation myths that seem to agree on more things about the creation with animals are from Siberia and North America. Neither one of these cultures or tribes are from the same time period or location, yet their views are so similar.

Travelocity is a company that believes in the ethical treatment and development of employees. True False Michelle Peluso, CEO of Travelocity, subscribes to McGregor's Theory X views concerning employees.

ways which changed our day today. Alchemy is an old ancient art, that has been practiced throughout all

Like Egypt, China and India developed alchemy independently as well. Indians and Chinese had similar beliefs, in which external and internal methods were used to purify body and prolong life. Indians invented steel way before Bunsen and Kirchhoff and came to a realization that flame colour has a significant importance in identifying metals. The Arabs introduced Alchemy to Spain in 8th century and it got spread quickly from here to the rest of Europe. Gold was seen as a perfect metal by the Arabians and all the rest were less perfect. A popular idea indicated that these less perfect metals could be transmuted into gold by a substance called Philosophers Stone. The Chinese also believed that the Stone could convert the other metals into gold.

During the Middle Ages, alchemists, which were the medieval version of chemists, believed that all things consisted of six elements: air, earth, fire, water, sulphur (which gave things the ability to catch on fire), and mercury (which gave things a metallic character). These ideas came from the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BCE-322 BCE) and the Persian alchemist Jābir ibn Hayyān (721 CE-815).

“An optimist is someone thinks on planet number five … mankind will be less bloody. A pessimist is one who thinks otherwise” (225) From different perspectives, two can view the same thing but see it drastically different. Thus, many oppositions exist throughout The Unbearable Lightness of Being are born, including faithfulness and infidelity, the the dichotomous poles of human existence, and the eternal return or a single existence. But behind all of these oppositions stands the opposition of lightness and heaviness as the building block of all of them. It is the atom behind all the molecules. Harnessing the power of the opposition of lightness and heaviness just as scientists harness the power of the atom, Kundera

1. Methane was first discovered by Alessandro Volta in 1778 while on summer vacation at Lake Maggiore in Italy. He noticed large bubbles of gas coming to the surface from the stirred up sediment of the lake, when he poked the muddy bottom of the water with a stick. He collected them for further experimentation and discovered it was inflammable. He called it inflammable air from marshlands [1].

Humans are an interesting species because of the strong need humans have to fully understand what it truly means to be human. Many fields such as history, psychology, and sociology all offer a perspective in the study of humanity, but there are distinguishable from anthropology. Anthropology differs from other humanities fields due to its holistic nature, comparative research methods, and the strong emphasis on fieldwork and participant interaction. Anthropology is the study of people throughout the world, their evolutionary history, how they behave, adapt to different environments, communicate and socialize with one another. In order for anthropologists to examine the full scope of human life, they employ the four field approach that embodies the holistic nature of the field.

Creation stories are obviously stories about the creation of the world. They, just like us, vary in their origins and how they are structured. Each contains the tale of how that certain culture or religion views the beginning of everything, ranging from the animals to the world itself. Creators came in the form of gods or other super-human beings and they handled each world differently. These stories each gave us an idea of how the world we are living in was made, and some even tells us about how we were made.

Looking back at this discovery it amazes me. Something that primitive people were able to discover became such a great deal to the world. we use iron in building so many things. It is the main component of steel (which is iron that is enriched with carbon) and steel is used for skyscrapers, high tension cables, automobile frames and so much more. Here on earth we have a very abundant supply as well, the earth is
