Effects of World War I
World War I was rising Nazi feeling across Europe, colonial and economic rivalries, which contributed to growing international tension. The main spark that started World War I was the assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914. The heart of the conflict were the Central Powers, Germany and Austria–Hungary, and the Allied Powers, Britain, France, and Russia; Italy joined later in 1915, and then United States joined in 1917. World War Iwas the first war to be fought on land, at sea, and in the air. World War I brought more technological innovations than any conflict in history. Machine guns, battleships, land mines, barbed wire, engine–driven transport vehicles, and other...show more content...
By using new technology, many people or soldiers died because it is really easy to shoot somebody using guns instead of stabbing somebody with the sword as they used to do in earlier wars. This war killed many sons, husbands, fathers all over the world. In this War of about 16,000,000 soldiers and about 13,000,000 civilians died all over the world in this war. It was hoped that this had served as a lesson to nations and that future battles could be avoided. After World War I the League of Nations was established to settle international argument peaceably like UN for United Nations. World War I also effected the economy of United States and the World economy. Stock market crashed in October 1929 in United States, and it marked the beginning of the great depression. Thousands of banks and businesses failed during this time. Agricultural production fell, and unemployment rose quickly. Unemployment commonly exceeded twenty five percent. In 1933 one out of every four American workers was out of a job. Since World War I effected the economies of almost all the countries, the world trade fell off and countries turned to nationalist economic policies that only provoked the problem. Prices of everything were so high that money sometimes was more useful to burn than to spend. Counties had over 280, 000 million dollars in expense during war. The costs of World War I was too big to pay for the world, and the economy of almost all the countries fell down.

2020 marks for the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day; the focus will be to end plastic pollution (Earth Day). The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, it was celebrated all throughout the United States. Currently, it's a global event that people from all over the world celebrate. Before the movement started in the 1970's, a great oil spill happened in Santa Barbara, California 1969. Thus, the oil spill encouraged Senator Gaylord Nelson to have a day, to specifically focus on helping the environment and teach the public about natural disasters (History ofearth day).
As a result a year later, millions of people went to the streets protesting for the negative impacts of more than a hundred years of industrial development on the environment. The natural environment has been on a road of destruction ever since the industrial revolution. In addition, humans are overwhelmed with gaining wealth that they have ignored the natural environmental needs for hundreds of years. It can be said that this movement has been a great success in protecting the environment with all the participation of the civilians. There are three main reasons why Earth Day is successful: The first, is the strong focus of the movement, which promotes public awareness of pollution problems, the second, is all the positive influence the main media has have for the movement, and lastly, is the overall knowledge that people receive after participating in an Earth Day activity.
First, Gaylord Nelson

The Creation of the World
The creation of the earth and all that is within the earth is mysterious, yet miraculous at the same time. Although there are probably hundreds of different accounts, they all seem to be different while almost identical in text. I will be comparing and contrasting between the Priestly account and the Yahwist account in the book of Genesis. Along with these accounts I will be discussing the key elements in the theology of creation and eco–spirituality in the world and the way they fit into my life. These two versions of creation can be distinguished in various ways. The two stories differed in how they were told, how humans were created, a human's purpose in life, and the image and role that God played....show more content...
These two accounts are very different when it comes to the creation of life and the role that God played; however, they compare when it comes to the purpose of a human beings life. These two accounts are considered very different but they are similar in the following manner. Any human being is considered a Homo sapien, meaning that we are the "intellectual beings of earth." In each account humans were created in the sense that they would bring goodness onto the earth. When God created humans, he saw them as an intelligent creature that would tend the fields and take care of all that he created. For that is why the Garden of Eden was fashioned into a place of utopia where everything was in harmony. It was in this place where Adam, meaning made from earth and Eve, meaning mother of all living persons were told to care for and maintain. Yet they committed original sin by eating fruit from a forbidden tree, just like people commit sin everyday. Regarding theOld Testament and New Testament there were some differences and similarities. In the Old Testament the Jewish people did not perceive God as creator, instead they saw his as a savior. They viewed creation as God giving us salvation, which can be seen in the one hundred and fifty psalms. Unlike the Old Testament, the Jewish people in the New Testament believed that Christ was indeed the Lord of creation, and he was the one who made it possible for us to

The naturally excellent sales person, manager, accountant and so on, is already working for someone else perhaps in his or her own business and there is short fall for experienced qualified individuals that some of these firms and companies are looking for, so this assignment will explain how career management is very beneficial for people planning there career and how it is...show more content...
When you start your career planning, or access the University's careers guidance service, you should remember it is not just about helping you to choose a career or find a job. It is equally about equipping you with the skills and attitude to seek out information and to become more self–confident and self–reliant. Career management benefits you to develop a clear understanding of what you are good at, what you like doing and equally what you don't and to understand your own values and aspirations, to weigh up the pros and cons of a course of action and to plan for the future. It is not simply a case of the job you can get with a particular degree, but more importantly it is about what job and career you want to pursue and why.
In many cases this will enable you to get your first job. It will be a job, where you will have to work hard for relatively little pay, but you will gain work experience. After 18 months to two years you will probably change jobs to get more experience and reckon to get your first good career grade job when you are aged 26–30.
In other cases you will take a further qualification immediately after your first degree. It could be a change of direction towards qualification in law, finance, business, accounting, administration, teaching, medicine, or research;
Life In The New World If we go way back to a world–wide crucial time period, the life of Native Americans in today's continental United States, what we encounter is a vast land consisting of various tribes with distinctive cultures, lifestyles and religious beliefs with obviously one thing in common, savagery. As the Europeans started to settle, the Colonial period began, different civilizations clashed with each other which changed the society, economics, and politics for several reasons, affecting the lives of European–Americans, African–Americans, and Native–Americans, creating conflicts and among them. Before the European colonies arrived, a vast part of America was inhabited by the Native Americans. They were savages, living...show more content...
As the European settlers and explorlers arrived to America, the Natives were displaced from their land, they were enslaved by the European colonies, and this conquest became easier due to several diseases and huge population loss. The people in Europe were excited and curious about the New World, they had hopes about their future and they thought that the hardships they had back home would dissappear as new opportunities would emerge. The Puritans, one of the communities in England, set sail from England to the New World and immigrated to Massachusetts in hope that this new found land will bring them new opportunuties and their religious colony will grow. They weren't curious about getting rich, what they really wanted to achieve was to become a model community that all the world would look forward to. Religion was very significant to them, they wanted to be known as pure Christians. In the document "We shall be as a City upon a Hill", we see the relationship between god and community as they believed in a religious contract called Covenant. "Now if the Lord shall please to hear us, and bring us in peace to the place we desire,..." As we read these lines, we understand this relationship between them better. They believed that if they manage to make it through the ocean to the New World, God would have completed his part of the contract. The title itself makes it clear how America was a place that

The Problems that Our World Faces Today
The earth is considered as one of the most beautiful planets in the universe. It is the only planet in our galaxy that has enough water to support life. Unfortunately our planet is suffering due to many problems which should be solved before it is too late. The major problems that are facing our world today are population, pollution and animal extinction. One of the problems facing our world is population. It began about ten thousand years ago when the humans settled and began farming. The farming provides more food for the people thus making the population grow. Now we are about 6 billion in population and in a few years we will be around 10 to 11 billion. Therefore, our population will...show more content...
Pollution is another major factor that is threatening our world today. One example of pollution isnitrogen. Humans are adding about 130 to 150 million tons over the 90 to 150 tons that are produced by the nitrogen cycle. This excess in nitrogen causes coastal waters and estuaries to grow toxic algae, killing the fish and trapping the solar heat in the air. Another example of pollution is methane. Methane is produced by gases released by cows, termite mounds or by the bottom of rice paddy. If found in the air methane is very poisonous. By raising more cattle, cutting more tropical forests, thus increasing the amount of termites, and by growing more rice, the methane concentration in the air is almost twice as higher as it was 160,000 years ago. Smoke is another pollution factor. Smoke that is produced by cars contains carbon dioxide (CO2). This carbon dioxide in the air causes global warming, which results in the green house effect and climate changes. Satellite studies show that perhaps we will increase the temperature by 3.6 degrees by the year 2001. The warmer the weather the more water it can hold, the higher the precipitation will be. The higher the precipitation the more clouds, the more rain, and the more snow there will be. This will result in more storms and floods. Studies by Thomas Karl of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed that the total winter precipitation in the US has increased to about 10% since

Reading a book can be so influential to a person's mind. When your read someone's story and hear their own personal thoughts, you get into that person's mindset and you think about things in a way that has never came to you before. Their words get into your mind and send you this message and influence you to think of matters in different ways. In the book "Night", written by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, he states, "Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever." (Pg. 32) Right there is a very vivid statement, it draws out a deep picture that is connected to someone's spiritual being. Faith is something many of us have, and when you read that, you just formed a connection between you and this person . Also Elie states, " Never shall I forget those moments in which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. " (pg. 32) Everyone of us has dreams, and to know that one person just watched their dreams dissappear, is heart breaking. Murdered is a very strong word, but murdering ones God, that is even worse. What would happen if everything you thought about your God was taken away from you? It would probably drive you to insanity. Finally Elie says, " Why should I bless his name?" " The Eternal Lord of the Universe, The All–Powerful and Terrible was silent." " What had I to thank him for?

The World in 2050: Energy & Climate Change
Overview: Successfully reducing the effects of climate change to meet the goal set by the Paris Agreement, to keep warming well below +2ЛљC (relative to pre–industrial temperatures), requires implementing policies that allow people the autonomy to be creative, enjoy life, and do what they desire to do, while at the same time, limiting the amount of global warming ("Energy," 2017).

Successful efforts will result in renewable energy sources becoming the primary energy supply and a significant reduction in fossil fuel dependence. Nuclear power is essentially the only source of energy that can provide base–load power ("Managing," 2017). The ability for nuclear power to provide a continuous source of power while at the same time acting as a low carbon emission source of energy makes it a viable and efficient option to pursue. However, efforts to educate the general public on the benefits of nuclear power are necessary, as there is a general reluctance to accept it. Additionally, stringent precautions would be necessary to prevent nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Appropriate resources (i.e. time, funds, research) would be allocated to increase the efficiency and capture of renewable sources of energy. For example, both solar and wind power are, by nature, intermittent; thus, technological advancements are necessary to store the power generated by these sources in order to overcome this intermittence ("Managing," 2017). With successful efforts, renewable sources of energy would become the world's primary source of energy.

It is not viable to discontinue the use of fossil fuels due to their high energy yield; however, there are methods to both limit and improve the Get more content
History of the Web
Sir Tim Berners Lee is the computer scientist who created what people know as the World Wide Web. After graduating from Oxford University, Berners–Lee became a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, near Geneva, Switzerland. Here, Berners–Lee noticed that scientists were having trouble sharing information. Berners–Lee once stated, "In those days, there was different information on different computers, but you had to log on to different computers to get at it. Also sometimes you had to learn a different program on each computer. Often it was just easier to go and ask people when they were having coffee...".

Founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created Apple Computer on April 1, 1976, and incorporated the company on January 3, 1977, in Cupertino, California.
Wozniak built each computer by hand, and although he'd wanted to sell them for little more than the cost of the parts– at a price at that would recoup their outlay as long as they shipped 50 units – Jobs had a larger view. jobs inked a deal with the Byte Shop in Mountain View to supply it with 50 computers at $500 each. After the store took its cut, the Apple I sold for $666.66. the legend is that Wozniak liked repeating numbers and was unaware of the 'number of the beast' connection.
On October 5, 2011, Steve Jobs died, marking the end of an era for Apple. The first major product announcement by Apple following Jobs's passing was iBooks Textbooks for iOS and iBook Author for Mac OS X. In jobs' autobiography, he stated that he wanted to reinvent education and the textbook industry.
Today, Apple is the world's largest information technology company by revenue and the world's third–largest mobile phone manufacturer after Samsung and Huawei. In February 2015, Apple became the first U.S. company to be valued at over $700 billion US. Apple's most recent release was on November 3, 2017, the ten year anniversary of Apple, with the iPhone X.

The very thought would excite anyone whose blood still flows in his veins. The diver is the observer, he looks at everything he can. He totally forgets the outside world" (Reseck 4).

In the early 1950's, rubber suits were designed. They were used to keep the diver warm. These old "dry suits" were worn over long underwear and sweat suits or sweaters. The clothing acted as an insulator, and the rubber suit was used to simply keep the insulation dry. But when the easily punctured "dry suits" were torn, the insulation became wet, thus causing the insulation to be ineffective. But a new suit, called the "wet suit" was invented. The wet suit actually strapped a thin layer of water next to the diver's body, which soon heated up to body temperature and acted as insulation. Nowadays, foam neoprene is used for all wet suits. When the demand for wet suits increased, manufacturers developed the standard small, medium, and large sizes. As the market continued to grow, the neoprene material was improved by making it softer and more flexible. A backing was also added on the neoprene to increase its durability and service. The market grew larger still, and ready made suits came in extra small, small, medium, medium large, large, and extra large sizes. Today, almost anyone can walk into a store and come out with a good suit that fits (Reseck 17).

Through the course of this semester we have been learning about the topic 'global citizenship'. A broad based topic that had no exact definition tied to it. In and out of class we have been asked to read a number of articles and book passages to help us form a definition of what exactly the term global citizenship means to us.
So exactly what is global citizenship? Global citizenship is not simply defined as one thing; it is a large array of various definitions. The basis of it is global citizenship is being a responsible and active member of the global community. To me a global citizen is a citizen of the world. Though global citizenship is being a citizen of the world, it takes more than just caring about global issues. Global...show more content... As a global citizen you have to support and care for humankind as a whole.
No matter your definition of global citizenship it all comes down to the same thing, and that is being apart of a community on a global level. To be a global citizen we have to be somewhat intercultural. Part of this means being able to communicate and understand what is going on. "When people from two different cultures meet, there is infinite scope for misunderstanding and confusion" (Argyle 1983: 189). As a global citizen we have to be able to communicate with one another to solve problems as a whole. If there are intensive language barriers we won't be able to work together. As global citizens we have to work with one another to make the world a better world. Global citizenship is this want to 'fix' the world, "The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them." –Albert Einstein. Global citizenship is attacking issues with higher thinking. It is different "ways of thinking and living within multiple cross–cutting communities–cities, regions, states, nations, and international collectives..." (Schattle 2007, 9). There is more to the term global citizenship than we would think. Global citizenship is a way of life and practice essentially. Just as religion is a way of life and practice so is being a global citizen.

Population causes a heated debate among many people. The world's population has exceeded 6.5 billion and continues to increase about another 76 million each year. The three most populated countries are China, India, and the United States. Scientists have become worried that the population will double within the next 50 years, exceeding 12 billion people. With scarce natural resources and the strain that a doubling in population will cause on food availability, people become more wary about population control. What is population control? Population Control is the practice of limiting population increase, usually by reducing the birth rate (www.wikipedia.org).

Samuel states in his article, "The Development of India's Policy of Population Control": "This policy has not yet received the attention merited by its importance for India's development."
China leads India in population by about 2 million people, putting China at the top of the list with 1.3 billion people, roughly 20 per cent of the world's population (www.wikipedia.org). What has China done in the effort to slow the ever growing population? In 1979, China introduced a policy limiting one child per family. This was unprecedented. In 1986, the limit increased to two children per family, as long as the family was non–Han. (Han is the ethnic majority in China). Some rural Han families were also allowed to have two children, as long as the firstborn child was a female. The goal in doing this was to limit the population to below 1.37 billion by the year 2010. Some families refused to adhere to the family limitation policies. For example, they sabotaged government mandated contraceptives and paid doctors to claim to have performed abortions.
It has been 28 years since the policy was set, and there have been some gender fluctuation within the Chinese population. At first, the Chinese families only wanted male children in order to carry on the family name and honor. Many families with daughters born wanted abortions or simply killed the females after birth. In 1995, 1,166 male children were born for every

While researching they found weird chemicals, Dr. Horne was shocked when Dr. Horne obtained the results for chemical number 17. After a few hours more of work on the chemical, he found a solution that it would make him powerful, He mixed few other chemicals that were found from Earth's soil, He invented a new chemical that was unique for humankind to have in their body.

His entire life was devoted to delivering the message that God had given Him, the theme of which was forgiveness and a new life, in which we could have eternal life through the death of Christ (John 3:16). His means of sharing this message were often in parables, "earthly stories with heavenly meanings," but at other times they were blunt and straightforward (Bowker 141). There was much division among the people because of Him, and the religious leaders of the time wanted to kill Him, mainly because He claimed to be Son of God, while He looked like any other human to them (John 7:8–9, 8:40–53). Their anger rose and, eventually, they set out to capture Him and crucify Him. Jesus' Death was a tragic event indeed. There was so much division about Him that His own people had decided to vote in favor of crucifying Him, and that is exactly what happened (John 19:6–7). Jesus was lead to Golgotha, while carrying His own cross, to be crucified. As horrific as this was for many, it fulfilled all the scriptures pointing to Jesus. Because He had lived a sinless life, He became the perfect and final sacrifice for humanities' sin (1 Peter 2:22). Jesus was raised on the third day after His death, showing His supremacy over the power of Death. Obviously, a main belief of Christians is that of Jesus' death and resurrection. Christians also believe in the teachings Jesus' gave them while He lived His life on the earth, which are recorded in the four gospels in the New Testament

The common notation is one who separates from society in the pursuit of his or her own needs, goals, and desires; to define his or her own self and to gain independence and self–reliance. However, an individual must enter into society to further his or her own self interest. Due to that contradiction, individualism is often contrasted with society or anti–individualism.

This grew into the demand for civil and political freedom. Individualism blossomed forth, an individualism in which everybody considered himself the center of the universe and his own existence and prosperity more important than anyone else's. People set themselves up in opposition to other people and to society as a whole. The bourgeois were fundamentally individualistic and propelled western society towards the industrial revolution and toward the series of scientific, technological, economical and social successes. There was no easy path; it took five hundred years, but in today's society the human being is no more a number, but an individual. An individual, although they seek separation, must enter society to further his or her own interests and demands the right to serve his or her own interest, without sacrifice of self interest for any higher social cause or the general will. Society can only function to the extent that the people have interests in common; the end goal of any society is the common good. The general will never coincide exactly with any individual will in any class, therefore the interest the group rather the individual is the fundamental unit of social, economic, and political concerns. The interest of the group will without end dominate the interest of the individual. Since interest of the individual will always be submissive to the interest of the group.

This lack of understanding causes fear and a personal defense from utilizing "the web" and all the possibilities that lie within it. In essence, the concept behind the WorldWideWeb is really quite simple. It is nothing more than "a community of information sites on the Internet computer network" (Pasadena Public Library). So basically, the World Wide Web is a small part of a greater entity–the Internet. The sites, or web pages, are all connected by this network and can be considered a community because of their common location–the World Wide Web. If you can visualize it, imagine a large network, the Internet, which connects people and information all over the world. Then imagine within that network, a community of its own. The World Wide Web has an endless number of sites, made of web pages, and all of which are connected through the Internet.
So how does one use or "navigate" on the Web? To understand that, one must first understand the language (that which makes it run, understand and execute commands) the web is based upon. This language is known as Hypertext Markup Language, which will later be discussed in more detail. Essentially, it the hypertext language uses "hot words to link pages to each other" (Halonen). The hot words, which have been termed links, consist of an underlying code, HTML, which is read and takes the user to the desired destination.
Also, the web uses URL's, Uniform Resource Locators, to locate information. Also

From Albania to Zimbabwe, many countries have become involved in the World Trade Organization over the years. Any state or customs territory having full autonomy in the conduct of its trade policies may become a member of the WTO, but all WTO members must agree on the terms. This is done through the establishment of a working party of WTO members and through a process of negotiations. All members have joined the system as a result of negotiation and the membership means a balance of rights and obligations. They like the ideas that other members give to them and the security that the trading rules give in. In return, they had to make understandings to open the markets and to go by the all the rules. Those commitments were the outcome of the membership decisions. Countries going through membership are WTO observers. Article XII of the WTO Agreement says that joining to the WTO will be on terms to be agreed between the government and the WTO.

A third of theearth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up" (NIV, 1999). The Anti–Christ takes over the world for Satan and tries to kill Gods chosen people and finally make war with them, only to lose and then both are judged and then thrown into a lake of fire with the rest that did not believe in Christ and his salvation. In the end God and Christ bring heaven to earth and those who believed in them will inherent the earth, newly restored. We can see that the world as we know it will be destroyed and then this prophecy gives hope that there will be a new beginning. This destruction and reformation of the world is also prevalent in Islamic and Judaism culture. Another cultural myth is the Wars of Hindumythology. In the Hindu teachings, The Wars of Hindu mythology depict great heroes and demons in combat of universal magnitude, overflowing with the tremendous power of celestial weapons, religious theology, the unexplained, and mystical beings. "While no Hindu epic or scripture fails to describe the horrors of war and its fallout, major wars are fought with a religious purpose: often to eliminate demonic beings, or lords and rulers who pursue war wantonly for ambition and domination. The most destructive wars in Hindu myth are often genocidal in scale, they are driven with the mission of good triumphing over evil" (Mythology).
