Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s war policies were more influential in determining American intervention during the Second World War. Even though America’s entry into World War II was catalyzed by many factors, the primary catalyst of the US entry into the war was the fear of Hitler. For a long time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt used several strategies, including domestic and international policies, military and diplomatic and economic efforts to restore peace; however, he was already aware that war was inevitable. Nazi Germany had been a threat to America, and the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor confirmed American fear. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s main concern was Adolf Hitler.

What’s the Fracking Deal? The use of natural gas for the generation of electricity is expected to increase by 60% in America over the next 25 years (Jackson, Vengosh, Carey, Davies, Darrah, O’sullivan, and Pétron 329). A significant proportion of the natural gases are extracted using the fracking process. This paper argues that the cons of fracking outweigh the pros when it comes to the health of the masses and the negative effects on the environment. There are many benefits associated with shale drilling. To begin with, natural gases act as a crucial source of electricity. Their use in energy production decreases the demand for the utilization of fossil fuels. At the same time, natural gas has nearly half of the carbon emissions of coal and no mercury (Espectas). This suggests that shale drilling has lesser environmental effects in comparison to the use of coal in the generation of electricity. Besides, the United States has large volumes of natural gases (Espectas). This means that shale drilling may reduce or eliminate the United States’ reliance on energy sources from other countries.…
Global melting and ocean acidification The topics I have chosen are global melting and ocean acidification. The reason why I chose this topic is that these two issues have been a significant problem to mother earth for the past few years owing to our decadence in morals as the human race. All we do is live carefree lives without looking out for the planet we live. First and foremost, as human beings, we overindulge in activities that cause emission of carbon dioxide in large quantities. Increased quantities of carbon dioxide mean that the pH properties of the ocean change, making it acidic over time. In addition to that, the climate has changed because of carbon dioxide, therefore, causing global melting. As a student without much influence or power to make significant changes towards eradicating these two menaces to our planet, I will do the most I can. i will achieve this by mobilizing my peers towards carrying out environmental friendly activities together with collect plastic non-biodegradable waste that is polluting our environment.
