That being said many different approaches to addressing offenders who commit crimes have existed throughout the ancient world to present day. One ...

Introduction

Taking measurements may require the conversion of the measured quantity to electrical quantity. Transducers are devices or elements that perform this function by transforming physical quantities such as quantities like sound, light, or temperature into electrical signals like current, voltage, or capacity. Transducers consist of inputs, sensing elements, transduction elements, signal processing, and electrical outputs. The inputs known as the measurands are the quantities, states, or properties that are to be translated into electrical outputs. The sensing elements accurately measure these input energies and sends the information to the transduction elements to be transformed into the desired form. The ...

Slavery existed in the Americas from the early colonial days and its rapid rise was observed in the XVIII-XIX centuries in Brazil, the Caribbean and the British and French colonies in Northern America when the world trade was actively growing and there was a shortage of labor.

At first the Portuguese and later the Dutch and the English began to export slaves from the West African coast to the different destinations in the New World. The Middle Passage became a vital part ...

Schindler’s List is a film centered on the historical injustices committed against German Jews.

The film, therefore, depicts the image of how political situations could damage social stability and cause major atrocities against innocent people.

Introduction

Superhero is a term that is socially accepted and widely revered in today’s society. We are fed with information about their supreme powers and ability to save humanity from evil.

Vigilante, it’s a word taken from Spanish and it was first introduced to America in the mid-19th century. A vigilante is someone who operates alone or in a group, “takes the law into their own hands” (Butler 1). These people are not endorsed as ...

The value of literature in human life cannot be overestimated. This kind of art is one of the most ancient and important for humankind. Though this type of art has a connection with such term as fiction, it still has quite a real basis. Literature has arisen much earlier than it was given a definition and typology. The man, who existed before the literature, had already used its main elements even earlier than ten thousand years ago, which played a very important role in the life of the whole humankind. Using the words that were written on stones, people ...

Waterboarding, once used as acceptable form of torture by many countries during war times and for other purposes, is today considered a form of torture by the United States. Though it was used to coerce prisoners of war to give information, it has been widely regarded as inhumane and too harsh, even in the more strenuous of circumstances. When interrogators in black sites began giving firsthand accounts of waterboarding, it was realized just how unacceptable the act was. Coupled with psychological data suggesting the any form of torture is too severe to illicit any true information, it was clear ...

Veganism:

Various Types of Vegans

For many people, there are fine lines with how a vegan can be defined. Different from vegetarians and other people who modify their diets to be more plant-based, veganism has some subcategories.

This would include the exclusion of any animal products that a person can wear, such as skins and furs, and products that were tested on animals.

Currently, there are very harsh discussions about the role of Gorbachev in the history of the Soviet Union in the last years of its existence. Often he is regarded as a person who undermined the whole structure of this country. Very often, he is considered as a traitor in Russia.

But nevertheless, the fact that harsh discussions about his person and role are going on is the best evidence that Gorbachev is an outstanding person with great contribution to the world history ...

Abstract

In the society today, everyone desires to remain young, active, and self-dependent. However, the forces of nature do not allow human beings to survive forever in the environment. People have to die for others to be born (Aldrich, Kiyota, Arnold, & Tanaka, 2015.). Everyone must go through old age if they successfully escape from other fatalities that cause pre-mature deaths. Our society treats senior citizens differently. Some are respected, others are mocked and ridiculed, others are stigmatized, and worse, others go through very difficult life experiences such as taking care of the young(Chapter 14 the Resilience of Elders of ...

Bierstadt used light and shadow in a masterly fashion, which made his painting an extremely dramatic. Incredible contrasts reveal magnificent natural environment and its immense beauty made Bierstadt’s pictures popular. The viewer can easily determine three spaces of the artwork: The foreground is the nearest area to the viewer on the right part of the picture. This part shows a hunting scene of the Indians pursuing deer with horses and dogs. Still nearer on the right the mountain spring is visible, next to which a carcass of deer and some human items were left. At some distance three ...

I would like to talk about the movie “Mountain Patrol”, filmed in 2004 by the Chinese director Chuan Lu. The peculiarity of this director's narrative is inherent in all of his films, but here he surpassed himself. Merging in one movie two different approaches – the artistic and documentary one was an unmatched idea. At least, hardly anyone else came across this symbiosis. It really turned out a beautiful picture, in which both actors and documentary were involved. I believe that his film was a key moment in the struggle to save the antelope Chiru, not only in China but ...

Introduction

Environmental adaptation is essential to the survival of any animal. In fact, this attribute helps organisms obtain nutrients, build homes, withstand extreme weather conditions, attach mates and enhance their safety (Nelson et al. 2008). With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that polar and grizzly bears have different physical and behavioral characteristics due to environmental adaptation in spite of their species similarities. The polar bear is specially adapted to survive in the cold pole regions. Its body structure and genetic composition have substantially evolved to accommodate the low temperatures and harsh environmental conditions. Its behavioral attributes ...
