Assumption about documentaries being true, educational only, no imagination needed aren’t correct . There are several documentaries we watched in class that show that documentaries don’t all fall under the same assumptions. A common assumption about documentaries is that there is no imagination needed. “ In a time when the major media recycle the same stories on the same subjects over and over, when they risk little in formal innovation, when they remain beholden to powerful sponsors with their

His family soon moved to Canada and he soon found himself prospecting for gold and iron ore from camp to camp and during this series of expeditions, Flaherty learned to survive in the wilderness from the miners and the local Inuit (“The Lost Worlds of Flaherty”). After a second expedition to the Hudson Bay area, upon the suggestion of his boss, Sir William

The Creation of the Worlds Deadliest Bomb The research for a weapon which could end the world’s most devastating war World War II started almost immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor got sneak attacked by Japan which entered the United States to the allied side of World War II. In 1938 some german scientists discovered that if you bombard Uranium with neutrons you could split the Nucleus of an atom. When the war started scientists thought about military uses of this new

I stare down at my watch engraved with my name, J. Robert Oppenheimer. It clearly read in bold numerical digits, 0330. I know that in exactly two hours, two billion government dollars would be tested. The result would change the course of history for better and for worse. I let my mind wander and stare down at my shoes covered in the dry sand of New Mexico. I begin to go over the possible outcomes of the test. My eyes became blurry. All of my thoughts swirl around my empty head and just as

Enrico Fermi, Arthur Holly Compton, Ernest Lawrence, Richard Feynman, Leo Szilard, Harold Urey, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Leslie R. Groves were all committed to the Manhattan Project. There were roughly 100,000 people that took part in the building of the atomic bomb. In 1940 German scientists began conducting similar research that was taking place

did the right thing or if we have made a huge mistake. In this case it is the Manhattan Project. This project was first time the atomic bomb was introduced. It was led by General Leslie Groves and the research was directed by American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Most of the people who worked on this project were not told what they were working on, but only told what to do. In this case, was it right to lie to the people working on this project, was it necessary not to tell the U.S. community

both Groves and Oppenheimer were characterized as people who “…overcame personal differences to achieve their common purpose.” (109). Groves himself has addressed his neutrality by stating “My emotional graph is a straight line…” (General Groves, Robert DeVore 119). This idea of having a lack of emotion has allowed Groves to not be surprised nor elated by the continued success of the project. The general opinion about Groves is that people saw him as a highly intelligent individual as well as someone

Others have argued that the scale of science has been growing steadily for centuries, and that it is impossible to pinpoint a definite start for Big Science. Derek J. de Solla Price explained that the scale of science had been increasing over the 300 years up to the start of the Second World War, and suggested that Big Science signified the near end of this scientific era. (Capshew & Rader, 1992, p. 7) He also postulated
