to sufficient environmental light"1. Frederick A. Cook, the arctic explorer,
provided a vivid description of the effects of prolonged darkness on the human
psyche: "The curtain of blackness which has overfallen the outer world has also
descended upon the inner world of our souls," Cook wrote in his journal on May
16, 1898, "Around our tables . . . . men are sitting about sad and dejected
lost in dreams of melancholy. For brief moments some try to break the spell by
jokes, told perhaps for the 50th time. Others grind out a cheerful philosophy;
but all efforts to infuse bright hopes fail."2 Some believe that light affec .....

Pesticides And Their Harmful Affects
Words: 2800 - Pages: 11.... Until things are done to change the systems of pesticide usage universally, society can never be sure as to the long term effects on our environment and what they are eating or giving to the future of our world, the children. In some foreign countries pesticides are used more frequently with legislative control than in the United States. In Mexico and South America, for example, many of the pesticides that the United States and Europe have banned, wind up being used on a majority of their produce crops. The largest problem with this is that Europe and the United States import from South America for produce all of the time.

Abortion And My Own Thoughts
Words: 845 - Pages: 4.... States, killed/aborted 1,984,000
fetus'. Sure we could keep down the increase in our population at this rate,
but where would we be emotionally? Speaking from a “my” point of view, I
wouldn't get to far. I enjoy children profusely and thinking that there are 1.9
million children less in the world every year sends shivers down my spine. But
I guess you may say that it is not my place to speak.
There are fewer deaths per million abortions than per million births
according to the Planned Parenthood survey of 1995. There are nine deaths per
million abortion procedures and sixty-three deaths per million births. Both
complications .....

Abortion: Pro Choice
Words: 1727 - Pages: 7.... They believe that the child inside them is their
property and it's life doesn't be until birth. In 1973, the United States
Supreme Court decided that as long as the baby lived in the womb, he or she
would be the property of the mother. Because of this decision almost every
third baby conceived in America is killed by abortion, over one and a half
million babies a year (Willke vii). Many countries have followed our
decision on the abortion issue and some of these include Canada, England,
and France. Other countries still believe abortion should be illegal, they
include Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand. Although many believe that

Albinism
Words: 515 - Pages: 2.... in the genes of those with
albinism, including within families.
The most common types of oculocutaneous albinism are called "ty-negative"
and "ty-positive". Persons with ty-negative albinism have no melanin
pigmentation, and more difficulty with vision. Those with ty-positive albinism
have very slight pigmentation, and generally less severe visual difficulties.
Tests were done on the hair roots of individuals with albinism, to tell these
types of albinism apart. However, these hair tests cannot identify types of
albinism, particularly in young children, whose pigment systems are immature.
Therefore hair tests are not helpful in pre .....

then pass them down the line for use, or storage. Short term memory probably has
no real capacity for storage.
Medium Term : This is where all of the information from the short term memory
comes to be processed. It analyses it, and then decides what to do with it (use
it, or store it). Here also is where stored information is called to for
processing when needed. This kind of memory has some kind of limited storage
space, which is used when processing information, however the trade-off is that
is slower than Short term memory.
Long Term : Long term memory is the dumping ground for all of the .....

Man-made CFCs Are Jeopardizing Our Future

These compounds are greatly responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere (Gutnik 54). CFCs are most commonly used as the propellant in spray cans, the coolant in refrigerators and air conditioners, in foam and plastic insulation, and in industrial solvents (Caldara 20).
Industry began using CFCs in the World War II era. In 1973, atmospheric chemists F. Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina of the University of California at Irvine postulated the connection between ozone depletion and CFCs. Although CFCs were found to be harmful to the ozone twent .....

Is More Than One Cause Of AIDS Possible?
Words: 1997 - Pages: 8.... of scientists, Charles A. Thomas, Kary B. Mullis and
Phillip E. Johnson, try to prove that HIV is not the cause of AIDS and that
there is another cause of AIDS out there somewhere, but the scientific
community continues to ignore the possibility (Thomas-1995). It has been
proven that HIV does have something to do with causing AIDS. The majority
of AIDS patients that also have HIV cannot be ignored. HIV is however not
the only cause of AIDS. This is proven by the thousands of AIDS victims
that do not have HIV. It is widely assumed by nearly everyone in the world
that HIV is the only cause of AIDS. It is puzzling, however, that this is
