Arctic Circle

The Arctic Circle in recent years has been the source of international conflict as natural resources are discovered and climate change is impacting the indigenous people, wildlife, and changing the arctic environment. The current governing body, the Arctic Council, and global agreements and treaties are not adequately protecting the Arctic environment. After examining the various conventions and treaties that have been made in effort to govern the Arctic Circle, it is evident that some legislation is in conflict with others, while other parts are ineffective and the constant battle over who has what power and where, and the lack of unanimous support for passed legislation all hinder the protection of the Arctic environment. It is estimated…

The graph above compares the optimal depth for latitudes 21.4S 32.4E, 21.4S 55.3E, and 21.4S 65.3E on the given dates. Latitude 21.4S 32.4E is located in Africa between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, Latitude 21.4S 55.3E is located on Reunion island, and Latitude 21.4S 65.3E is located in the Indian Ocean. Biomass burnings alter the optical depth in Africa, whereas volcanic activity is responsible for the variations in optical depth on Reunion Island. According to the graph, biomass burnings create a…

scientist often associate it with greenhouse gas. A number of scientists often denied evidence relate to arctic amplification on climate change with unrelated data to the arctic. Scientists tend to believe that amplification in the arctic is not at all related to climate change. Throughout this paper I will be focusing on the aspect of amplification…

less important. The exchange of such things as a dainty menu for rough fare, of the stiff leather shoe for the soft, shapeless moccasin, of the feather bed for a couch in the snow, is after all a very easy matter. But his pinch will come in learning properly to shape his mind's attitude toward all things, and especially toward his fellow man. For the courtesies of ordinary life, he must substitute unselfishness, forbearance, and tolerance. Thus, and thus only, can he gain that pearl of great…

the Arctic Ocean has been famed for its inaccessibility, but with unprecedented ice retreats in recent years as a result of global warming, the Arctic Ocean is becoming rapidly accessible. This means new possibilities for the Arctic countries in terms of trade, travel, and access resources. These recent changes in the topography have led many to portray the Arctic as a geopolitical race for natural resources and territory, with Russia seen as the main aggressor. Russia is depicted as a…

personal, and as the inherent nature of technology continues to progress, this threat will only become more of a reality. Dave Eggers illustrates this pseudo-utopian world in his novel, The Circle, where his characters are dependent upon technology to the utmost degree. An analytical question would be: would the technology mentioned in The Circle be worth implementing in today’s society? Our protagonist, Mae Holland, runs us through her everyday observations and thoughts while she works at the…

The novel The Circle by Dave Eggers, is seen as a governmental operation that is corrupted through the internet in your social accounts, in which it lets everyone know your information and life beyond it. The main idea from it is its meaning of what is good or bad. With the data people receive throughout their lives on the internet like what they choose as passwords, or statements that they receive from banks, what they post online, and the health care or records they have all go into one…

Overall, I enjoyed the Circle Training - on both a practical level in regards to facilitating trainings and on a more personal level. I both appreciate and have some challenging thoughts regarding the basics of circle practices: the talking piece and the circle. I can wholeheartedly appreciate both and believe that they can help to facilitate more substantial conversations, peace making, etc. However, I also wonder how much of the belief that talking pieces and circles are essential is more of a…
