A Few Good Men The movie‚ "A Few Good Men‚" is a story about a pair of U.S. Marines that are charged with murder.

As the story unravels‚ there are many legal issues that we have covered in our class‚ BU11‚ The Legal Environment of Business.

This past April‚ the findings from two separate accidents from very high-profile organizations were released within days of each other. Both accidents were similar in that each occurred in what could be described as a regular training session that resulted in the death of a single individual.

Bringing the ship into the harbor and anchoring it is a task taken up by a different captain: one who belongs to a specific port and is familiar with the waters of its harbor. These captains are called marine pilots. Marine pilotage has a history as long as sea travels. The recorded history of marine pilotage dates back to about the 7th century BC. References to pilots assisting ships navigating close to the shore have been found even in the Holy Bible and in the writings of Homer and Virgil. Pilotage

Plastic pollution is something that is drastically changing our ecosystems. With more trash thrown into bodies of water every day‚ it’s said that “plastics in the ocean will outweigh fish pound for pound in 2050” (“How”). Microplastics are changing the way plastic pollution may travel‚ and not in a good way. Microplastics are pieces of plastic less than 1mm in size and because of that‚ they can’t be removed from the ocean. In recent studies‚ researchers discovered that Zooplankton are able to digest

Effects of climate change on Great Barrier Reek Rising sea temperature Rising sea temperatures have adverse effects on the Great Barrier Reef (Johnson and Marshal 2007). According to Johanna and Marshal (2007)‚ increased temperature has a significant role in destroying aquatic life because sea animals have a particular body heat limit to survive in the ocean. As a result of enhanced heat‚ this limit has extended beyond that limit (Laugh and Hobdy 2011). For example‚ 8 years ago summer weather was

Using his satellite phone to call home never happened; using the satellite phone in the middle of battle was an absolute joke. For one‚ the satellite phone was only used in emergency situations when radio communications were down.
