Rowlandson and Equiano share many similar characteristics even though they were of different race and whose writings were decades apart. Even though Rowlandson and Equiano were disconnected by approximately 1 decade and the indomitable Atlantic Ocean these two writers work have many comparable aspects. Unlike most of the traditional writings of that time Rowlandson and Equiano wrote narratives, were they themselves were in the stories and they tell the story through their eyes in a first person view and telling us what they were thinking while their experience was going on. Similar to Equiano’s autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano Rowlandson was also captured and taken from her home in her captivity narrative, Narrative of the Captivity.... Rowlandson along with her three children were taken hostage by a group of Wampanoag Indians and this quote she explains how she was treated, “It may be easily judged what a poor feeble condition we were in, there being not the least crumb of refreshing that came within in either of our mouths from Wednesday night to Saturday night, except only a little cold water”.

No civilization has ever lasted that long. Is it ethical to be creating a form of waste that will require careful storage for a timeframe longer than any civilization has lasted? Also managing the waste is expensive. There are expensive ways to dispose of long-lived radioactive waste. Sweden , for instance, has spent $14 Billion and rising to manage its radioactive waste and is now decommissioning its reactors.
The ship’s record-breaking length also meant that Lusitania would have to be launched diagonally. Lusitania was 787 feet long, longer than the river Clyde was wide. The shipbuilders took advantage of where a tributary met the river Clyde to maximize the length available for Lusitania to slide and float. Instead of the traditional method of shipbuilding where construction starts at both ends and meets in the middle, Lusitania’s construction started at the bow and moved towards the stern. The reason for this was actually because the plans for Lusitania’s engines and stern had not yet been finalized.
A tough federal response smothered Klan terror in a wave of prosecutions. Martial law and the suspension of habeas corpus were necessary to remove the threat from South Carolina. In 1915 the Hollywood spectacular Birth of a Nation reframed historical events to give credence to the Klan’s conspiratorial interpretation.38 As the economic order changed, different visions of the future battled for power.

Because Britain is not in a favourable location, but a island. So Britain need more ships, guns that could shoot the people on the other side. Such a huge disadvantage 4,000 years ago, became a huge plus from the 17th century. Guns, compasses, ocean-going ships which were originally pioneered in the East but which, thanks to geography, proved more useful in the West. Since then, science and technology constitute the primary productive force.
