Blamelessness to Collective Guilt: Business and Government The Triangle Fire of 1911 was an event that resulted in a drastic shift in the way government oversight worked to check private business. Before the fire, American government had little to do with laws and regulations that controlled the actions of private businesses. To cross the line would mean to cross the sanctity of what made a business and business. The period following the Triangle Fire of 1911 would see this line be destroyed, as

Both fire extinguishers and smoke detectors were invented in the early 1900s, yet 146 lives were taken in the Triangle Fire. Could you imagine the lack of safety standards during this time period? The non-fictional story, Flesh and Blood So Cheap, by Albert Marrin, uses explicit and implicit evidence throughout the text to convey his theme about the unsafe conditions that resulted into the tragedy of the Triangle Fire. First of all, Marrin uses explicit ideas to inform readers about some of the

people being from the minority group of young Jewish and Italian women. The Triangle Shirtwaist Company had already started to play a “key role” in the era of labor history. After about 200 of the company’s women tried to join the “International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union abbreviated to (ILGWU) the company resorted to firing many of their women. In 1909, after the company had taken part in firing women after they tried to join the (ILGWU), it caused an outbreak better working and leading to a "walk-out"

most asked questions within the field would be, “Is Pluto a planet?” As of August 24, 2006, Pluto was demoted as a planet by the International Astronomical Union to a dwarf planet and since then this has been a hot debate topic. Based off of the unfair voting that took place to demote Pluto and the ambiguous definition of a planet by the International Astronomical Union, Pluto should be considered a planet. For starters, one of the reasons Pluto should be considered a planet is the “unfair” vote

the sun’s gravity. Pluto’s orbit is erratic, all other planets orbit the sun in a flat plane. The International Astronomical Union made an altering decision in 2006. The International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto from its planet status and issued a new set of requirements that would define whether

gravitational disturbance. Dwarf planets lack the mass to do so. As a result, they have a weak gravitational force that is unable to keep its orbital influence cleared from asteroids that float around in the Kuiper Belt territory. Although the International Astronomical Union had given their guidelines for a planet they haven’t specified an upper and lower size and mass limits of dwarf planets. Many scientists assume the upper mass of a dwarf planet is when the mass of the object is just below of what is

Pluto still needs according to the International Astronomical Union to be able to clear debris from its orbit (Howell). This was Pluto’s downfall, Pluto was too small to be able to clear debris from its orbit. This debunked Pluto as a planet's taking away the planetary status of the ninth planet in our

Pluto should be given the title “planet” for a number of reasons. Pluto was classified as a planet in 1930 until the International Astronomical Union altered the definition of a "planet" and stripped Pluto of the title. Some Astronomers say the International Astronomical Union’s planet definition is fundamentally amiss. The new definition requires that a planet has to gravitationally clear its orbit. What about the Trojan asteroids at Jupiter? What about space dust? That rule could dwindle the number

that Pluto should be promoted back to its original planet status. First, I will give you a brief history of Pluto, from its discovery to what prompted its reclassification. Next, I will explain the definition of a planet as given by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the definition’s flaws. Finally, I will discuss the recent discoveries of the New Horizons mission and how these new discoveries should lead to the reclassification of Pluto to its original planet status. History of Pluto Pluto

since the year 1992. According to research, there are more than 70,000 of these small objects named as Trans-Neptunians, which had a diameter that was larger than 100 km. Also, these objects extended from Neptune’s orbit from 30 astronomical units (AU) to 50 astronomical units. There is a thick band in which these Trans-Neptunians were restricted in and this ring was named as the Kuiper Belt. One may ponder what is the significance of the Kuiper Belt? Astronomers believe that the objects within the
