Satyagraha (/sætɪəɡrɑːhɑː/; Sanskrit: सत्याग्रह satyāgraha)‚ loosely translated as "insistence on truth"- satya (truth); agraha (insistence) "soul force"[1] or "truth force" is a particular philosophy and practice within the broader overall category generally known as nonviolent resistance or civil resistance. The term "satyagraha" was coined and developed by Mahatma Gandhi.[2] He deployed satyagraha in the Indian independence movement and also during his earlier struggles in South Africa for Indian rights. Satyagraha theory influenced Nelson

I wrote an Op-Ed article to The Daily Nexus‚ the UCSB-run campus newspaper. I discussed the topic of antibiotic resistance and how bacteria’s resistance to antibiotics is on the rise. Various strains of bacteria are no longer affected by some antibiotics‚ which could become a significant threat in the future if modern antibiotics are ineffective. We as humans rely heavily on antibiotics and other medications to deal with diseases and other illnesses. Modern medicine was one of the greatest advancements

faults in a circuit or system. 2. What is an open circuit? An open circuit is a circuit that has infinite resistance. This results in no current through the open circuit or anything in series with it. It is often referred to as an open. 3. What is the primary symptom of an open circuit? Symptoms of an open circuit include the current through the component drops to zero. The resistance of the open component becomes too high to measure. The applied voltage is measured across the open. 4. What

of them were killed. The Allied forces were good but people had to help them and that is where the nazi resistance came into play. On June 22‚ 1940 the French surrendered to Germany. Many people resented the Germans and the Vichy government so they formed underground Resistance groups. Vichy France was a non occupied region of France. Some Resistance groups called maquis were violent Resistance groups aiming to hurt or to kill Germans. Some groups

and used it to take measurements (v) the experiment board which was used to do create most of the circuits and take the necessary measurements. Procedure 1: The measurement of resistance. The resistances of the 5kΩ and 22kΩ resistors were found using the theory and by taking the actual readings. The resistances of the resistors were first measured by comparing the colour bands on the resistors to the colour code chart provided. The procedure for this is: there are four bands on each of the

does air resistance affect the falling of a parachute? Air resistance affects the falling of a parachute because the resistance in the air molecules slow down the falling of the parachute. If there were no air resistance then the gravity would pull the parachute toward earth and it will drop very fast. 2. What aspects of a parachute affect the amount of air resistance generated? Length‚ mass‚ and materials are some of the aspects that affect the amount of air resistance generated

Gandhi used the term “Satyagraha” to refer to a kind of active but absolutely non-violent resistance to oppression. In his words: “Truth (satya) implies love‚ and firmness (agraha) engenders and therefore serves as a synonym for force. I thus began to call the Indian movement Satyagraha‚ that is to say‚ the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence‚ and gave up the use of the phrase “passive resistance”‚ in connection with it‚ so much so that even in English writing we often avoided it and
