This research paper is about the events that happened on December 13th. I will take you through sum very interesting events that happened on this date, which is also my birthday. Personally I didn’t know that there were events like this that happened on this day. It was very interesting what I learned during this research project. I will be able to take the knowledge that I absorbed by doing this project with me through high school, college and eventually a career that fits me.
My first topic is an avalanche that many soldiers died in because they were fighting for their country. This takes place in the time of WWI. This particular avalanche killed an estimate of 9,000 soldiers who were in its path. Witnesses say the avalanches were sometimes used as a weapon to kill the enemies on the mountain, soldiers that survived say the condition on the mountain was worse than the actual fighting itself. The French and Russians were against the Germans and Austrians. Most of the battle camps were set up directly under unstable snow, so whoever was in there at the time of the avalanche, they would have died. Only a few people were found out of thousands of soldiers in the battles.
Another interesting event was the capturing of Saddam Hussein. Operation Red Dawn was the plan that the U.S. would try to find and execute Saddam Hussein for good He was raised into a poor family as a little child by his mother. His first wife, was his first cousin Sajida. Saddam spent many years running
I wrote this paper on the Ludlow Massacre. This paper explores the unsafe work situations that the Ludlow Natives had to deal with. They went on strike to protect their lives. Guards planned to attack protesters and began the massacre. A foxhole was dug to protect women and children from flying bullets as the massacre embarked, embracing one another and praying for life fifteen were killed at the bottom of the fox hole by kerosene which was distributed by the guards . Overall 19 innocent lives were lost after the Colorado National Guard attacked their camp for fighting for what they believe in.
It was now the sunday morning of December 7, 1941, where many military personnel had a time of leisure. Many of them either were still sleeping, in halls eating breakfast, or getting ready for church. I who had been in the mess hall having breakfast sat with a group of men, enjoying a warm bowl of oatmeal and coffee. As I took a sip of coffee I felt all my muscles awaken and gain strength ready for what this day would bring me. It was just another day of work, or that is what we all thought. The hall was full of cheerful men laughing, talking, and eating. All of a sudden we heard the sounds of planes racing through the thick air, and the crowd of people grew silent. I looked around as everyones faces grew with fear and confusion, as they ran outside to see what was going on.
Julie and I had tentatively agreed on a transfer date of 3/28/16. However, with Nahla being on vacation the week of 3/28, the next BPK NEO session is offered on 4/11 and I have staffing challenges the week of 4/4/16, I am requesting 4/11/16 be Nahla's confirmation date. Please advise.
The following case study will be about the Battle of Antietam that took place on September 17, 1862 in Sharpsburg, Maryland along the Antietam Creek. Known as “…the bloodiest single day in American History,” by the end of the day there would be approximately twenty-three thousand casualties of which forty-five hundred to six thousand were dead. The first topic of discussion will be on the history leading up to the morning of the seventeenth in order to establish the mindset of the commanders on both sides of the creek. After the stage is set for the battle the dialogue will be guided through the three major battles of the day that encompass the Battle of Antietam. Lastly the dissertation will wrap up the Battle of Antietam and focus
The event that I chose was the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City by an ex-Army soldier and security guard named Timothy McVeigh. He parked a rented Ryder truck in front of the building loaded with a powerful bomb made out of a deadly cocktail of agricultural fertilizer, diesel fuel, and other chemicals. The bomb went off at 9:02 a.m. When the smoke cleared the area looked like a war zone. Half of the building had been reduced to rubble, surrounding cars were incinerated and nearby buildings were damaged or destroyed. The death toll was very devastating: 168 people, including 19 children were killed that day not to mention several hundred more injured in the blast. The bombing was considered the worst act of homegrown terrorism in the nation’s history (fbi.gov).
In the aftermath of a comparatively minor misfortune, all parties concerned seem to be eager to direct the blame to someone or something else. It seems so easy to pin down one specific mistake that caused everything else to go wrong in an everyday situation. However, war is a vastly different story. War is ambiguous, an enormous and intangible event, and it cannot simply be blamed for the resulting deaths for which it is indirectly responsible. Tim O’Brien’s story, “In the Field,” illustrates whom the soldiers turn to with the massive burden of responsibility for a tragedy. The horrible circumstances of war transform all involved and tinge them with an absurd feeling of
Have you ever been to New York city? New York City is a big place. There is five boroughs and many people. Also, there is many things to learn and see. 911 attacks, transportation, and tourist attractions are the three most interesting and important things about New York City.
My prompt is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The warsaw ghetto uprising is a very tragic event that shouldn’t have happened but do to, too many people being scared of hitler they couldn’t help the people that lived in the warsaw ghetto. The warsaw ghetto uprising was said to be one of the worst things to happen in history not only because hitler was getting more people to turn them into his soldiers but because the death count that dad was 5,500-6,000 and not only adults. It was everybody babies, children, adults it was just a bad day for the jewish people. “Every doorstep in the ghetto has become a stronghold and shall remain a fortress until the end.” My quote supports my reasoning because like I said earlier in my paper if the rest of the people
The Slopes of War written by N.A. Perez follows a realistic fictitious story about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, which is also told by the characters told in different perspectives, the Union and the Confederates. The story utilizes many historical facts regarding the battle, even including dialogues from Union and Confederate generals. It also tells us the audience the emotional and physical effects of war, and how the characters are affected by the end of the battle. Although the novel does portray many themes, imagery, and is told in different perspectives to convey the story, let’s take a look into the physical and emotional effects of the battle, and how those effects make the story.
Another event was the finding of Saddam Hussein. The search began around the time of the start of the Iraq War. Hussein went into hiding during the war. He successfully hid for nine months. On December 13, 2003, U.S. soldiers
Waking up to the sound of his mom screaming and the smell of delicious eggs and bacon breakfast. Playing catch with friends outside to taking notes in class. January 28th was just a normal day for 13 year old Joe Ingrassia. Being just a young boy he had to learn so much at such a young age. All that excitement was soon overlooked when he, as well as millions of others, witnessed 7 people die later that day. The day soon turning from sunshine to thunderstorms.
memorable events in U.S. and world history, is said to have had a reputation for being an
What does the phrase ‘social justice’ mean? Is it fairness in terms of social life? Equity in the way people are treated within a community? Or even simply, justice for those who are social? Oxford Dictionary describes social justice as “ justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society,” (Social Justice). Economically, this can mean that monetary resources are evenly distributed throughout the general public. The equal opportunity aspect of social justice can mean that everyone received a fair chance to participate in something. Finally, social justice looks to bring the same privileges to everyone, regardless of background, race, class, gender, or anything else that can be discriminatory. One issue of social justice that I’d like to focus on would be the treatment of those who suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBI). More specifically, focusing on the assistance currently being given to soldiers who suffer from TBI after they return from war. In order to bring about better social justice for soldiers who suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), current programs helping the injured to transition back to civilian life need to be adapted to better support troops.
The origins of torture as a method of interrogation can be dated back to the 6th century AD, back to Roman times. Many high ranking Roman officials would use torture as a ways and means to extract information from their enemies. Many high ranking Roman jurists showed the virtues of torture; they stated that it would lead to the highest forms of truth coming true. In the ages to come, we saw a number of different European countires apply Roman law to their civil systems ( a la France and Italy). With regards to criminal proceedings, they system which began to be used required the testimony of two witness or the confession of the accused individual as proof of conviction (much like our current sentencing system today). Thus, this led to the need of “ the confession” to be even more important with regards to sentencing. Thus, increasingly “desperate ways” began to be used to garner this confession and interrogation and torture became “normalized:” in the civil law system and countries that used this ststem (such as the future USA).
Every item in the universal is made up by atoms which are tiny particles. The atoms are made up by electrons and nucleus. Some kinds of atoms are stable, however, some kinds of atoms are not stable. The unstable atoms may undergo spontaneous radioactive decay. The proton and nuclear in the nucleus may be reallocated or recombinant. The nuclear energy is the energy which is released when the proton or the neutron in the nucleus be reallocated and recombinant. There are two kinds of nuclear energy. One of this is called fusion energy, and the other one is called fission energy. Nowadays, many nuclear power plant use nuclear fission materials like uranium-235 as a fuel to generate electricity. In the worldwide, there were 434 operating commercial nuclear reactors at the end of 2013. Those operating commercial nuclear reactors total installed capacity of 392GW. In OECD countries, there are 18% overall share of electricity are produced by nuclear power plant in 2013. The
