Frontiers Essay

up to move to the Michigan frontier. On our way there we saw seagles, deers, wolves, bats, owls, eagles, and trees. It took 26 days to get there, because we came from New York. The government said if we live here at this piece of land for several years we could own the land for free.

Me and my dad have been hunting

The book I chose to read for this review was Intimate Frontiers: Sex, Gender, and Culture in Old California by Albers L. Hurtado, one of a series of volumes on the American Frontier. He takes an unconventional angle on the topic, however and discusses issues of sex, power struggles, and cultural conflicts that occurred from the initial settlement of California through the gold rush. He does this through the stories of historical figures such as Amelia Kuschinsky rather than relying on sweeping generalizations

Rand Simberg’s article, “Homesteading the Final Frontier: A Practical Proposal for Securing Property Rights in Space,” addresses the lack in current legislation involving ownership of celestial property. Furthermore, Simberg goes over the loopholes in current legislation such as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and the 1979 Moon Treaty as well as solutions in support of space property rights. Simberg provides reasons on why homesteading lunar and other celestial properties such as asteroids could be beneficial

In the Frontier Airlines video the class watched, Richard met a flight attendant named Tui. While the passengers were boarding Richard started talking to them and was holding up the line of boarding customers. Tui got on Richard and told him he was holding up the line. Airlines don’t make money unless they are in the air. If they can’t get up into the air because a flight attendant is holding up the passengers then that attendant is costing the company money.

Once upon a time Lampasas County was an archetype of the Wild Frontier. Lampasas experienced everything associated with the Old West from Indian attacks to family feuds and gunfights, to fires and floods, to cattle drives and ranching, to taking the cure at mineral springs.

"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilisations; to boldly go where no man has gone before" (Star Trek). Back in the 60s, space travel was big. A few years after that man made it’s first step on the Moon. It was a massive advancement in science. It all started when President Eisenhower formed a group of highly trained individuals out of other groups, such as the National

visitations with the residents over the span of three months. Having volunteers complete attitude-rating scales before the meetings with residents was a tool to collect qualitative data. After the intervention, the volunteers underwent personal interviews about how they believed the visit went. The study found that the volunteers increased their overall knowledge of dementia and derived personal life satisfaction from the visits. I found this article to be interesting because it focused on the

The New Frontier of Automobiles Machines running, hammers dropping, and drills drilling are the sounds of Henry Ford’s revolutionary assembly line. Henry Ford grew up in the late eighteenth century during the industrial revolution. There were no electric lights, only gas lamps and candles. Horses and trains were the only cost effective way of transportation for the public. When Henry Ford was a child, he saw a steam driven car on the road and was mesmerized. At this point, he knew he longed to become

Throughout our history the stars have fascinated us, even more so, the idea of exploring it. While Space is the final frontier, exploration might be harder than humans have ever expected. Exhausting our intelligence and resources on our expansion in space, could have a profound effect on our way of life. For example, if you used a nuclear fusion rocket to launch a regular sized space shuttle to the nearest star you would need about a thousand super tankers full of Nuclear Fusion engines to get it
