.... been a controversial issue because of its inherent danger and the amount of waste that the plants produce. Once considered a relatively safe form for generating energy, nuclear power has caused more problems than it has solved. While it has reduced the amount of traditional natural resources (fossil fuels), used to generate power like coal, wood, and oil, nuclear generating plants have become anachronisms. Maintaining them and keeping them safe has become a problem of immense proportion. As the plants age and other technology becomes available, what to do with these “eyesores” is a consuming issue for many government agencies and environmental groups. No one .....

.... of Red Granite stone. The face of the sculpture has a fleshy, full look to it and most of the features are very blunt, giving it a very healthy, powerful appearance. The eyes are empty as are the eyes of most ancient sculptures so as not to give them any particular focus or expression, and they are styled with regular upper and lower curves, making them semicircular. The mouth is long and fine-lipped which is typical of Fourth Dynasty kings. It curves neither up nor down, showing no emotion whatsoever, creating a very vacant, placid stare. The Seated Statue of Gudea and The Female Head from Uruk are just a couple of other statues with the same empty, expre .....

.... a superficial glance at those visual features that would later be used to identify "race". The shape of one’s nose, color of one’s hair, or even the color of one’s skin describes the universal nature of what we now call racial consciousness. Slavery is a perfect example. Racial animosity grew in both the North and South, and in many instances led to physical violence. The era of slavery should have been called the era of inhumanity. Slavery was inhumane, barbaric, and ultimately disgusting. In 1800 the population of the United States included 893,602 slaves, of which only 36,505 were in northern states (Phillips 18). Slaves were treated as if the .....

.... in such a way that the money is equally distributed among the country's citizens. Socialism is in favor of tearing down the class structure and forming a classless society. In this way, it was born out of Marxism, whose founder was Karl Marx. Leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union said that their country used socialism as a major step towards "building communism". However most socialist political parties in democratic countries of the West rejected the Communist idea of socialism. Socialists prefer the government ownership of industries that are vital to a country's welfare. These include the coal, oil, iron, and steel .....

.... has affected almost all of the Asian ations, but the three hardest hit countries are Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea. The panic began in Thailand in May of 1997 when speculators, worried about Thailand’s slowing economy, excessive debt, and political instability devalued the baht as they fled for market-driven currencies like the American dollar. Indonesia’s economy soon fell soon after when the rupiah hit a record low against the U.S. dollar. Indonesia is plagued by more than $70 billion worth of bad debts and a corrupt and inefficient government. Thailand and Indonesia also suffer from being overbuilt during real estate booms that Reven2 were the resu .....

.... was the expansion of democracy.  As early as 1862, Lincoln was taking a major step in that direction.  On September 22, Lincoln announced the freeing of all slaves in areas not in Union control.  Although the proclamation did not free all slaves everywhere, it was the action that would push Congress to pass the thirteenth amendment in 1865.  The amendment, ratified later in 1865, stated that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude . . . shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."  It seemed democracy had triumphed by giving freedom to slaves, but the amendment was not complete.  It only stopped slavery, and made n .....

.... a fence held little attraction to him. Although he was a hard worker when he was plowing fields he would have a book with him, when the horses would rest at the end of a row, Abraham would read. After Lincoln left his family his need for self-improvement increased, he aspired to improve his eduction. he studied English grammar and mathematics. He taught himself for the most part, whenever he needed help he consulted a local schoolmaster, Mentor Graham. Lincoln developed a fondness for the writings of Shakespeare and Robert Burns that would last his lifetime. He became a regular attendant of the new Salem Debating Society, where he met a more intellectual .....

.... become close friends and I admired Otto for his wit, and love for his family. I believe that during my worrying, Otto had been secretly making plans for his family to move into the hidden apartment above the company offices. He continued to prepare the annex for over a year, until finally the Frank family had it's first encounter with a deportation scare. Otto's two daughters Margot and Anne were his pride and joy, so naturally when Margot received a deportation notice on July 5, 1942, Otto told the family of the "Secret Annex" he had been preparing for over a year. In addition to his wife Edith, Margot, and Anne, he also told me; Miep Gies. I was astound .....
