Ecological Imperialism in New England

Abstract: In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed in “the New World” and marked the beginnings of its extensive colonization. When European settlers arrived in the Americas, they brought with them their cultural values and began to adapt American land to their needs. Those days started ecological imperialism; “wilderness” of the Indian nature was disturbed. European settlers intervened the setting and brought significant changes in flora and fauna as well as the habitual way of living of Native Americans. This paper reveals the long-term consequences of English ecological imperialism in New England and ecological changes brought by European settlers. The main ...

2014 Frieze Art Fair: Yoshimoto Nara from Japan to the Great Britain Japan is a country that has undergone an extraordinary (for more than a century) and a strong modernization following the Western model: it has, now, reached a unique style which seem to be quite eclectic. Japanese culture surprisingly developed more and more its visual culture in a strong and characteristic way. Passing through different artistic styles, contemporary Japanese artists want to be recognized for their true nature and not for old stereotypes. No surprises, therefore, that the recent animations works of Hayao Miyazaki are exported all over the world with great success, leaving ...

Increase of PTSD in the Military

Psychology Increase of PTSD in the Military

Introduction

In the post cold war era, there was widespread hope for the end of armed conflict. However, such hopes were belied. Instead of long-drawn standoffs between the major powers of the world, the nature of conflict became more variegated and localized. Added to the larger number of smaller scale conflicts was the new phenomenon of a ‘clash between civilizations.’ Islamic movements challenged the supremacy of the United States, which had emerged as the sole superpower on the global stage. The new realities have forced the United States to continue to deploy military ...

The hydrological cycle refers to the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the earth. It mainly involves the processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, percolation, interception and runoff/overland flows. The main source of energy that drives the cycle is solar energy and therefore the main changes in energy involve changes in temperature. When surface water is heated, it gains energy and changes from liquid state to gaseous state. This results in a cooling effect to the surrounding region (Arctic Climatology and Meteorology) Transpiration also contributes in adding water vapor in the atmosphere; this is referred ...

Introduction

Language is not static. Many factors contribute to it instead being dynamic – continually changing, developing and evolving over space and time. Part of that evolutionary process concerns the morphology of the language – the way words are formed and the rules that govern their formation; an important element in pedagogy, facilitating the teaching / learning of the language in part by understanding those rules and utilizing them as elements of the instructional framework. This paper examines how the English language including its word structure and vocabulary has evolved / morphed over time, and discusses how the morphology of the English ...

This essay presents the evaluation that developing conceptual frameworks are a time wasting activity. In essence, it elaborates the notion that the perfect description of managerial accounting as referenced by internationally recognized best practices is a mere waste of time. Conceptual frameworks of accounting can on the other hand serve as route map for the evaluation of management accounting, more so in an organization’s operations. A conceptual framework is simply an intermediate theory which strives to interrelate to all features of inquiry under study. It is indeed a collection of various concepts which categorically illustrated and analytically organized so as ...

Introduction

Data by the US Institute of Medicine indicates that the number of patients diagnosed with breast cancer yearly stands at an alarming figure of two hundred and fifty thousand. It further shows that breast cancer claims forty thousand lives each year 1. The aforementioned statistics coupled with the fact that current research estimates on the probability of a woman developing breast cancer during the course of her lifetime stand at one out of eight women are the factors that prompted my interest in writing on this particular topic. This paper will therefore focus on the symptoms and treatment of breast ...

Tanning seems to be the latest trend in recent years, whether “artificially” at tanning salons, or naturally from sun exposure enjoying a day at the beach or by the pool. Many people tan with hopes of obtaining that “natural glow” without giving thought to how this exposure is affecting them. Some of the artificial methods used for tanning include; tanning beds, tanning lotions, tanning pills and tanning sprays. Natural tanning (from exposure to the sun) as well as tanning by use of tanning beds depends on exposure to UV rays which are divided into UV-A and UV-B. The rays penetrate ...
