Other than the chance discovery, another factor that held back Fleming was government funding. After Fleming published his results, the government wasn’t interested in developing it because they thought there was no need for it so with no funding, Fleming decided abandon his research. After his discovery it took Florey and Chain another 10 years to read about it and start the research. At this time, WW2 had broke out which deprived the government of a lot of money as many factories and other places were being bombed, hence Florey and Chain also didn’t get any funding from the british government because penicillin required a range of equipment and people which the government couldn’t provide. Penicillin only came to Britain after it had been mass produced in USA which took another 3 years.
It had only 128 kB of memory and no expansion slots. The crazy idea that Steve Jobs came up with was that the design was more important than functionality. Steve Jobs once said, “All the horsepower in the world is useless if you can’t figure out how to use it- and look good doing it” (Isaacson 40-41). The former CEO of Pepsi, John Scully, was recruited to Apple. Eventually, he got frustrated with Jobs’s management with the Macintosh division because of the sluggish sales.
After isolating himself from everybody for two months while creating his monster, his health started to deteriorate, and in the end died alone. Nikola Tesla, also a great inventor who shared the same fate.

Both just being reduced to a nobody who should have been credited for their scientific discoveries. Their ambition has caused much destruction to the one responsible but it does not just end there.The effects of one person’s ambition has the ability to affect people around them.
Both cases show people losing thousands to millions of dollars due to the fact that the product did not have a copyright. The growing problem in software piracy around the globe, every country is faced with the decision to stop copyright violations.

We gained control after the deaths of over 60,000 of our men were killed in the line of duty. Some view this as a failure because the U.S. gained nothing from the fighting because Korea did not gain any land or resources during the war. Through saving the countries that were on the edge of becoming part of the communist nation, America escalated the tension of total nuclear destruction. The amount of cost the containment was for the United States was not seen as a success because the results were few to none and we gained nothing for
It is a known fact in the United States that the health care system is broken; however, there is little, if any, dialogue on how to fix it. Each day in the United States more than 40 million people go uninsured; 40 million people don’t have access to necessary medical care. The government has decided to leave the health of its citizens at the mercy of an expensive, messy system where some get great care while others get none at all. The implementation of a universal health care system has been proposed, and politicians have made it very clear that is it off the table. Adopting such a system would not only be beneficial to the next generations but in helping Americans cope with the difficult times the nation is facing right now.
Even though they were able to catch the US forces off guard, they were unable to take and hold any of the objectives, not to mention they suffered an enormous amount of casualties. “From January 30 through March 31, 1968, combined Vietcong and PAVN losses may have exceeded 58,000 KIA.”[3] They were also unsuccessful in igniting a South Vietnamese uprising. Although the military objectives were a complete failure, politically the Tet Offensive was a victory for the North. For many months the powers that be had led the media and the American people to believe that after all of the bombing and numerous body counts that the North Vietnamese forces had been reduced to almost nothing and that victory for the US was at hand. After the Tet Offensive had been reported in the US, the American people suddenly realized that were involved in a war that could not be won.
NASA has not stopped and there is no stopping for them. However, after NASA lost appreciation and trust there was some suffering on their behalf. They lost 200 million dollars in fees that would have been collected from launch contracts but were forced to a stop after the disaster. A new report was licensed and given to the President. It was called the Rogers Commission report, and it laid out the failures and compromises that caused the January disaster.
The king family was awarded $100 dollars it was seeking, which the family donated to charity. The lack of coverage by major media was believed to be based off of the direct reason that the major newspapers felt that the way the trial had been conducted was not one of reasonable credibility. Even when the verdict came in and the following day, several journalists who were working at various news outlets who were asked what they thought of the decision replied, what verdict? William F. Pepper who had represented Ray during the last decade of his life said that most people didn’t even know this trial was going on. He goes on to say that [the mainstream press] effectively blocked it out.
The current organ donation system has clearly failed at addressing the reoccurring issue with the lack of organ donations as a result many have died and is currently costing the country Billions of dollars. Statistic from June16, 2004 shows that there were 85,744 waiting list candidates waiting to receive an organ and only 6540 transplant were made which is only a mere ten percent of the waiting list (Richard, Schultz 332). This public turmoil had caused many innovative researcher and economist to come up with solution for the ongoing lack of donations in the United States and the world. Unfortunately moral and ethical concerns will have to be the opportunity cost of all the life could be
