After researching, I found two studies that are similar to my experiment. One study by Sean Boyd (2007) tested to see which brand of microwave popcorn yielded the least amount of un-popped kernels. Mr. Boyd tested five brands of butter flavored microwave popcorn: Aldi, Act II, Orville Redenbacher, Jolley Time and Pop-Secret. His experiment proved his hypothesis partially wrong. Mr. Boyd hypothesized that Orville Redenbacher would be the best and Aldi's would be the worst. His experiment proved that Act II produced the least amount of un-popped kernels while Aldi's did have the most un-popped kernels on average.…

My brown bag contains five symbols that are significant to the story. The first is a hatchet. Without a hatchet, Brian could not survive the wilderness. He needs is to chop down trees, in order to build a fire to stay warm and keep predatory animals away. The second symbol is a box of matches. Brian uses matches to start the fires to cook his food and keep warm. A third symbol is a map, which Brian consulted in order to navigate his way through the hundreds of lakes and not get lost. A fourth symbol is the canoe, which was Brian's primary means of transportation and also provided shelter on land. My fifth symbol is the bear that helps Brian to understand his true place in the world and helps him to overcome his fears of living where he really…
Have you ever done someone else's job, and they never even regarded you after you went to great lengths for them? Well, Bartimaeus knows the pain that those people feel, and in The Bartimaeus Trilogy - Book One, the author Stroud has presented Bartimaeus as one who lives in a world of commoners and magicians who summon demons/spirits like Bartimaeus to do their own dirty work. When demons are completing the tasks assigned to them you never know what they might encounter and their summoners do not care at all what troubles they go through. If the demon comes across their summoner's name, they can use it against that summoner and possibly destroy them when they are next summoned. Bartimaeus has gone through a great deal completing the tasks set…
There were only three survivors from the crew of ten - Louie, pilot Russel Allen "Phil" Phillips, and tail gunner Francis "Mac" McNamara. On two rafts, they had six bars of special chocolate and eight half-pints of water. The chocolate bars, packed with vitamins, minerals and protein, were meant to last a week, taking only one bar each day. Optimistically, Louie figured it wouldn't matter because a search-and-rescue would…

In the Odyssey, Odysseus is described by many as a hero with great courage, wisdom and godlike qualities, but his actions throughout the epic may shed light on some of his less heroic qualities and how the Homeric image of a hero and how the modern image of a hero may differ.…
Survival is a key part of life in which humans have been attending to throughout our entire existence. As time progresses, technology and knowledge not only increases but also improves. Eventually, we develop to the point where our educational system has an important and crucial question where the students are asked to compare and contrast a life raft with emergency supplies in it, a moderately sized island, and Earth itself. The three subjects have a number of similarities and differences; however, some are obviously more important than others.…

In his article “Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor,” Garret Hardin argues that rich nations should not help poor nations by providing limited resources. He presents that the rich nations are morally obligated to protect their limited because sharing will only lead to catastrophe, squander and overloading the environment. He claims that poor nations should learn from the “hard way” independently and control the population by the crude way if they want to manage their poverty. Hardin, on the other hand, doesn’t completely negate that rich nations shouldn’t help poor nations, but they should provide technical support instead of material support. His arguments include the limited natural resources, tragedy of commons, no true world government to control reproduction and the use of available resources. We should take actions according to the ethics of lifeboat.…
In the "case of the shipwrecked sailors", three men were marooned after the sinking of an oil tanker. Subject to extreme conditions and starvation, the men drew lots after about twenty five days and decided that the loser would be killed and eaten as food. When one of the men lost the draw, he pulled out his consent, and the other two men killed him anyway, eating him. Five days later, the remaining two men were rescued and ensuing actions incurred their murder charges. This seems to be a simple case over the battle of life and death, and it truly is. The two men, Dudley and Stephens, made a conscious decision to commit not only the crime of murder, but the atrocity of cannibalism. Crime is crime and law is law- when breaks a law and commits a crime, a punishment must ensue.…
