Using Landscape to Solve Earthly Mysteries A new branch of scientists came up in the early 18th century. These scientists were called geologists. The early scientist was aligned with big empires. The British geologist believed they could explain any geological phenomena of the earth. They found every landscape was made from layers of rocks. They had every reason to think so. They needed to explore every feature on the surface to understand the formation of the landscape. The major problem was how to convince the British Empire to support their endeavor. They believed rocks were formed millions and millions of years ago. One of the British geologists traveled around Europe in a quest to understand rock formation. In his voyage, he believed younger rocks were found mostly on the eastern side while older rocks were on the west side. All the evidence he got seemed to point out in that direction. In 1882, a former school teacher made a huge discovery. He found a sample of rocks with incredible details and features. He suspected their formation could be explained. So…
Normative political theories and ideologies Normative political theories and ideologies are deemed to support what ought to be and not what is. Based on this definition, one can argue that these models apply to disaster management as they appeal to the norms and expectations of society. The following essay will relate these theories to disaster management basing information on the political contributions of Jackson, Jefferson, and Hamilton. Jefferson, Hamilton, and Jackson had notable political contributions aligning to the normative political models. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, propagated agrarian democracy and was against the influence of big industries on small farmers. He is one of the influential individuals that advocated for the rights of ordinary citizens. Jackson, on the other hand, is remembered for setting the blueprint for the ideal American president that is from a humble beginning and a certain level of military service. Again, he is acknowledged for his role in promoting democracy and manhood suffrage. Hamilton is celebrated for his role in championing a stronger central government. He propagated the idea of paying off war bonds and debts and…

Vesalius groundbreaking discovery of human anatomy Vesalius groundbreaking discovery of human anatomy is significantly applicable in the 21st century. He performed a dissection of corpses in order to have the view of the internal organs in the body. This is what is currently known as the anatomical view of the body. The discovery changed the view of the internal structure of the human body. At first, people used the Galenic approach that only opened the internal organs of animals and thought the human structure was similar. Moreover, it used the concept from astrology. He was able to fully describe the structure of sphenoid bones, sternum, vestibules, and sacrum. Besides, he was able to explain the heart and its function in pumping the blood and the valves, which control the flow of blood in and out. The discovery has evolved over the years. William Hervey improved the discovery by describing in detail the structure of the heart. He outlined the structures of the arteries and veins in the heart. He explained differences between the thickness on the left and right ventricles that…
Ecological Footprint Ecological footprint refers to a model used to measure how a given society utilizes natural resources at disposal to sustain their needs. All supplies used by man to achieve any goal comes from the physical environment. Tools, structures, machinery, energy, utensils, clothes, plants, animals, and any other necessity are derived from the environment. Wackernagel, M., and Rees, W., are credited with championing ecological footprint and Biocapacity in the 1990s. Today carbon model has also been developed and applied in various disciplines and industries to evaluate the population consumption index. Pincetl, in her article ‘The Invisible Urban Nature All around us,’ states all resources utilized by man are nature. Nature, according to Pincetl, compromises the non-living matter. Non-living component of our environment forms the natural resources and are harvested for socioeconomic use. The utilization of support should be done sustainably. Unsustainable exploitation of resources led to environmental degradation and pollution, which is harmful. The polluted and degraded environment cannot sustain population demands and contribute to socioeconomic constraints that led to conflicts in most of the societies. Government and…

The Roman-Byzantine Emperor It is worth noting, in her book titled “The Alexiad,” it is Anna’s first historical account of the crusade. She describes the narrative of the first crusade from a Greek Christian and byzantine perspective. In addition to demonstrating classical literary technique, opinionated voice, and great attention to detail, the author depicts byzantine reaction to the arrival of the Frankish army at Constantinople. Annes’ history focuses on the life achievements of her father, Alexios I, who is the byzantine emperor. In book 10, Anna’s account, the first crusade begins with the arrival of the Frankish armies at Constantinople. The account continues with the people’s crusade led by Peter the Hermit. The second wave of the first crusade begins with the arrival of the western leader Hugh of Vermandois, the brother of the France king, King Philip I, at Constantinople.It evident that Comnene highlights the events and battles of her father, even the defeat of the Byzantine forces as Manzikiert.In book 11, Comnene ends her account of the first crusade after Jerusalem’s conquest. The last sections of this book…
Property Defense Name Institution Affiliated Property Defense Booby Traps A booby trap is any setup or device that a person creates intending to capture, surprise, harm, and even kill an animal or a person. The booby trap usually has some form of bait that lures in the intended victim, and the victim’s action sets it off. People designed booby traps to deter trespassers upon entering a restricted area or inside a vehicle. Booby traps include concealed traps, spike pits, and even IEDs (Jung & Wollmann, 2011). I agree with the challenge that a person cannot and should not use deadly force when defending property. Deadly force can result in the loss of life of the person who trespasses or of the person that protects the property. In some cases, the use of deadly force can result in the injury and even death of an uninvolved third party because of the risks involved. Many might argue that people should use deadly force even when their lives are not in danger in the…
Discussion Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date Deductive and Inductive Arguments Deductive Argument: “All cats are carnivorous. Some cats are white. Therefore, some carnivorous are white.” This argument is valid and sound in its current state. Deductive arguments tend to be exclusively convincing. If the premise of this argument is altered to make it unsound, the result will be an argument that does not make sense. For instance, if the first premise is changed to sound, “most cats are carnivorous,” then the resultant argument will be invalid. The validity of an argument cannot be rated as “somehow valid” or “more valid.” It is either an argument is valid or not valid for it to accomplish its purpose of demonstrating the authenticity of the conclusion. In the same way, is the second premise would be changed to something else such as “some cats are black,” then the argument will turn to be unsound; there would be no reason to agree with the conclusion. Inductive…
