heat energy is transferred by conduction because: conduction is only apparent when there are different temperatures and are most effective with solids and where kinetic energy between the materials has a result of the vibrations of particles meaning the movement of the material.For conduction to take place there must something in between the objects which is why Conduction doesn’t occur in a vacuum because there isn’t anything between the material that is trying to conduct. The states of matter that conduction can take place in are all three, solids, liquids and gases.

Abolishment of nuclear weapons
Nuclear weapons. The ultimate maker of peace, and stopper of wars. Who would have known that a weapon of mass destruction was not only capable of wiping out nations from the face of the world, but also the key to stopping any wars from happening in the first place. The name weapons of mass destruction in itself reassures me. Many have tried and failed in attempting to restore order in the world; some have made alliances with countries and others have tried to unite the world with peace talks. The world was in a state of chaos but with the modern introduction of nuclear weapons all seems to be well, it only took several billions of dollars. Interestingly, the current death rate in the U.S caused by violence is 36 murders a day. Not to mention they introduced the policy of guns as self protection in the first place and refute any idea that they could in return be harmful in the society. This is the same country with the highest count of nuclear weapons… Can we blame them? Surely if you could “tax” the people and had the ability to invest in a nuclear programme you would do the same thing. For the sake of peace.
On serious terms, have the number of wars stopped since the introduction of nuclear weapons? The world has witnessed the destruction of these weapons in Japan, but still we give a blind eye to the governments who invest in these programs. The same people who tell us that nuclear weapons are “agents of peace”. Guns in the U.S follows the same concept of using weapons as a form of protection and avoiding violence; in fact more people have died in the US from gun violence than from actual wars themselves. But the abuse of these policies are known to everyone. Handguns are promoted to Americans for their personal safety which is significantly attempting to reduce the current high crime rates. With this ideology it would be rational to think that the introduction of nuclear weapons is the solution to World peace; if it works in America it sure will work globally. Nuclear weapons are a form of “protection”, but having a country armed with them puts that country in risk of being caught up in nuclear war. Is it possible to put the future of the planet into the hands of the people that think their gun laws do not correspond with the rate of crime and deaths?
A majority of the world is in a state of democracy, this is great as it shows progress towards peace. Democracy has developed so much that government leaders can wipe out entire nations with the push of a single button, certainly at the request of the people. Are you sure you would want to give this power to those who use nuclear weapons as chess pieces for their own gain? The governments are not the only ones abusing this power, but the high chances of terrorists acquiring such weapons that cost multi millions to create would be fatal of course. They on the other hand would not hesitate to use them. Even when terrorists do not have explosives, there is a high risk of danger. Saddam Hussein was accused of being in possession of nuclear weapons, but allied forces invaded killing many civilians, only to find there are no weapons of mass destruction. The peace keepers sure did their jobs.
The immoral policy of nuclear deterrent is relied upon by all states with nuclear weapons. It may be able to prevent wars from occurring as there is the risk of mutually assured destruction and nobody will resort to nuclear war. The fact is countries are still having a race amongst each other to see who has the largest arsenal of nukes, it is similar to the competition children have with toys. Just holding nukes will cause a country to be in danger of attack. More nukes means less chance of using them, although this may sound like a positive factor, there is the case of miscommunication or misunderstanding. As ridiculous as it sounds, errors can be made with transmissions, even when dealing with sensitive information such as nuclear weapons. There has been a case when World War 3 was close to eruption due to lack of miscommunication. During the cold war a Russian general received the go to launch all sub missiles on targeted states because of a computer error. Luckily, he refused to input his launch codes, if that had not happened you would not be reading this article at this very moment.
The more dangerous issue is that people are led into believing that because no nuclear attacks have occurred since the disaster in Japan 1945, it wont happen at all. It is a dangerous mindset to have as there are many points to why nuclear weapons are great solutions to peace and that it is simply impossible for something to go wrong. They work – then one day they wont. It would be best for humanity and all life on earth to not discover when or if that day comes. So in the end a world without nuclear weapons is a better world, or it could possibly be the end.
Junot Diaz
Three words to describe Junot Diaz based on the photo are: South American due to his name, casual and looks like he Comes from a hard background. Junot Diaz liked los bros hernandez because there comments relate to reality rather than the stereotypes. I think Junot Diaz writes to adolescents who can relate to his work growing up as a Latino.
Act 4
Shylock and Antonio are in court, shylock seems to have won the court case and is now going to cut off the pound of flesh as close as possible to antonios heart. By portia saying “this bond does give thee here no drop of blood ” her intentions show that by trying to save Antonio she Is aiming to twist the words of the contract. if played to a Shakespeareian audience the fact would be that itd be amusing for they see it as he’s being played to either receive nothing or be robbed of everything.
When the tables are turned I think that Antonio doesn’t show any mercy towards shylock Because by forcing him first off all to convert region practically becoming someone who you hate, also by forcing shylocks ducats to go towards the person who robbed him of his life just shows how the play is one man against a race
Act 4 scene 1scene summary
In act 4 scene 1 it first of all shows antonios court case with Shylock and how the judge’s anti semitism may affect the course of justice. yet Antonio shows no signs of mercy, and even declines an offer from bassanio of six thousand ducats. The court case attracts nerissa and portia who are dressed in disguises whith nerrisa bringing news from bellario. Whilst shylock is accused Of cruel nature when preparing a knife for the taking of a pound of flesh.
Preparing for the essay
Don’t want to not have anything to write, might go off course and talk about something not related,
1)Antonio spat on shylock, 2)Antonio calls him a dog, 3)Shakespeare made the play as a comedy; we see it as a tragedy (he makes Jewish discrimination a joke), 4)Jews are only money lenders, 5)language used to describe the Jews, 6)mocked, 7)Shakespeare wants to show victory over the Jews by the Christians.
Venetian hypocrisy
I think that quote B “I’ll have my bond, speak not against my bond” matches the picture because in the photo he looks calm but still holding his ground as he doesn’t look angry enough to say the other quote .
“You have among you purchased slave” He is showing that they are worse than him and to question him on his revenge is so hypocritical.
Shylock shows the justice system is corupt because He points out the fact that what he is doing isn’t nearly as bad As what they have been doing (purchasing slaves).although the cutting off flesh is similar because he is taking a piece of another human.he highlights there hipocrisy when pointing out that if the tables were turned the flesh would have already been taken. He also refers to the slaves being used as mules to carry and fetch objects simply because they have bought them, so like with his contract the same way the Christians have bought slaves and can do whatever with them shylock has put his money into Antonio so by Christian example he should have the right to treat him however he feels.
Whats the use?
Act 3 scene 3 is about how shylock talking to the jailor, and Antonio about his bond and tells him he has his bond and will not let go of his bond (won’t rest until justice is served).
Act 3 scene 4 portia has a plan to pretend to go to a convent whilst actually dressing as a man and spying on bassanio.
