Short Story Assignment “Come on, Mark, let us see who will dive faster today!” I yelled at my friend and classmate, who was struggling to keep up with me. It was a warm summer afternoon, and we had decided to take a swim in the ocean. Like most of the summer vacations, my family and I had gone to spend the house at the beach house. Mark’s father also had a beach house, and since we were 3, we had always gone to the beach together. My dad preferred to spend his afternoons sitting under the shadow of a palm tree at the backyard, breathing in the sea breeze. My mother would sit next to him, and depending on her mood for the day, she would either be sewing or sipping wine. Mark’s father would mostly be playing golf at the beach club with other men whose children would be building the sandman. “I bet I will beat you today!” mark yield back as he increased his speed, determined to get to the ocean before me.

With not much else to do and all lost, Zeno walked into a bookshop and was absorbed quickly in Socrates ‘ lessons. He wanted to express his information to anyone who would like to learn after he had been studious with the great philosophers of his day. So was born Stoicism’s philosophy.

Effect of Hydropower on Climate Change                    The use of water to generate power, known as hydroelectric power, is not a new concept in the world. James Francis engineered the first modern water turbine in 1849, and it was named after him, the Francis turbine. A few decades later, other scientists designed a hydropower plant in the United States along the Fox River (Yamba et al. 1). Currently, hydropower accounts for about 16% of the world’s electricity. Only two states in the United States do not use hydropower. These figures show the growing importance of hydropower plants, and many other countries should follow suit. There is controversy surrounding hydropower plants as several people argue that it has harmful effects on the environment while the rest insist that it offers more benefits to the environment.

In his book, Keith Punch suggested that social research is an art of human study (2013, p.28). Therefore I was mentally prepared to learn the art of studying humankind in the natural habitat.

According to Gary McCullough, social research and social research originated from the ancient Greek. They rationally asked about human nature and their morality (2004, p.14). Furthermore, I came across the ideology that researchers research in a particular way and using particular methods. Because just like any other discipline, research requires ethics and respect.
