... minerals or matter that will help us understand what Mars was like millions and millions of years ago. The first manned mission to Mars will be more complex then that of the first Moon landing which the main goal for going to the Moon was to just land safely. The main thing that researchers and scientists are striving for is exploratory, searching for useful raw materials such as water and at the same time building up an extensive scientific picture of Mars-its state at the present moment, its history and what the future developments are going to be. As astronauts journey to Mars and finally reach there the main concern and top priority when landing wi ...

... different from an allegory or parable which is a story deliberately made up to illustrate some moral point but which has never been assumed to be true by anyone. Some myths describe some actual historical event, but have been embellished and refashioned by various story tellers over time so that it is impossible to tell what really happened. In this last aspect myths have a legendary and historical nature. The word mythology has two related meanings. Firstly it refers to a collection of myths that together form a mythological system. Thus one can speak of "Egyptian Mythology", "Indian Mythology", "Maori Mythology" or "Greek Mythology". In this sense one is descri ...

The structure of the argument is based around the type of argument known as an argument by elimination. Argument made by elimination exists by beginning with a number of possibilities, then ruling out all but one possibility, therefore making that possibility be true. In his argument he gives three possibilities, in his first premise, then rules out the first two, to co ...

... each individual in the media is aware of their code of ethics. An important ethical concern of the society is that journalists need to be accountable to their readers, listeners, viewers, and each other. They are responsible to “test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error” (1). The society does not permit the deliberate misuse of information. Not only that, but “unethical practices of other journalists…should be uncovered and exposed” (2). The SPJ does contend however, that a journalist’s main interest should be the public’s right to know (2). Lastly the society sta ...

... Psychosurgery. First of all it would be very helpful if there was a definition of what therapy is. According to Webster's Dictionary the word therapy means a "remedial treatment of bodily disorder". The disorders with which psychologists deal, are usually that of the brain although the problems caused by this area are in no way limited to mental areas; mental problems almost always cause physical ailments.

... to be very influential because he didn't beat around the bush he came straight out with what he had to say. There are other types of communication like body language but I think that they are very impersonal. After communication comes influence. Influence is the effect a person, thing or act has on another person or situation. I think that influence is a direct effect of communication. I say this because what one person says to another will always have an influence be it negative or positive. Some positive examples of influence are speeches given by some of the great men of our country's past. Men like Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy ha ...

The group of LEDC's in question have been also referred to as the 'South', from the commonly referred to Brandt Report (1980), or the Report of the Independent Commission on International Development Issues. This report stated that the 'rich developed' countries were located in the 'north', and that the 'poor undeveloped' or 'developing' countries were located in the 'south'. However, in this report the 'North/South' divide used in the Brandt Report will not be used, instead the use of the phrase 'Third World' will be used in its place. The phr ...

... without reservation as an incredible intellectual tool. Only recently have we begun to weed out the hype from the reality and realize that there are unpleasant side effects to computing as well. Webster's Concise Dictionary defines addiction as "a habit so strong that one cannot give it up." We are all aware that people form addictions to many things, from cocaine to gambling. References to alcoholism, "workaholism," even "chocoholism," are commonplace throughout our society. The idea that people can form addictions to computing is a relatively new one, but quickly gaining ground. Take for instance my brother, who was once an "A" student and a model son. He now has ...
